Retail Trade Is Better Since Hot
Weather Set In.

New York, July 3.-Bradstreet's
says: Retail trade has been helped by
steady hot weather, holiday prepara-
uons and clearance sales, but there
are still not lacking reports from
many cities that the spring and early
summer turnover is below expecta-
tions. Most confidence and certainty
IN the largest business visible is re-
ported in and being booked for next
rail-, winter and spring. In this re-
spect the strength OF demand for cot
ton goods at hardening quotations is
parity due to the strength of raw
cotton. All western cities report fall
bookings larger than last year and
sales for next fall.
In industrial lines, the gains pre-
Viously shown seem to be held. The
shoe and leather trades are shovvfne,
more activity.

Mcdonald Gets a Plum

AT the annual state convention of
the National Association OF Station
ary Engineers, held in Cripple Creek.
Colo, Don J. Mcdonald of this city
was elected president for the ensu-
ing year and Denver was selected as
the next place of meeting. The con-
vention was heartily in favor of a
law making it com pulsory for all en-
gineers to hold licenses from the
state after passing a proper examin-
alton. This is right and at the same
time If man is required to have
license for running a ten, twenty or
more power engine, ought not those
who run automobiles of high horse
power be required to hold license
and be held for such damages as are
Of almost daily occurrence in a city
like Denver. The election of Mr..
Mcdonald to the presidency of the
state association was a well bestowed
compliment.

Find Pay in Old Shaft

While cleaning out the shaft OF
the Highlander claim, that had been
sunk some thirty five to forty years
ago and which had filled up with
muck, the men opened up last Satur-
day an eighteen inch streak OF ore.
OF this seven inches consisted of
gold and silver bearing lead and cop
per ore of a first class high grade
and the remainder of the streak was
of second class. The shaft is sup
posed to be about ninety feet in
depth and at this date about half OF
the muck has been taken out. When
ylb be bottom is reached drifting will be-
gin in both directions. The west lat
eral will cut the rich streak that was
recently opened up. just beneath the
Virginia Canyon road. At this point
a very rich junction will be affected.
The indications for making this big
shipping property are very favorable
and those in charge OF 1t under lease
and bond will push the work with all
possible rapidity.

During the past few days there

interested In mining who have arriv-

Kansas, w. A. Crockett and S. Muir
ply of Missouri; Mr.. and Mrs. Ander-
son and Miss H. Guest Of Denver.
They we're literally entertained at
the home of the manager as were
also our townsman L. Mclean and
his family. The repetition of bring

encouraging and shows that those be

Many Pleasant Drivways

There is general inquiry from
tourists as to pleasant drives around
this city. There are plenty Of them
If these visitors desire to go to some
livery expense. Among these Is a
trip up Soda and Bear creeks. another
up Chicago creek to the reservoir.
Perhaps one Of the most attractive
drives is that up Clear creek past
the Big Five tunnel, Stanley, Hoosac,
Rockford and the property of the
Freeland Development and Transpor-
tation companies. The extreme neat
ness Of everything around this latter
property is a matter of compliment
on the part OF all who go past 1t
either in carriages or train. Passing
through Dumont and up the beautiful
Mill creek, one comes to the pictur-
esque Dumont-Alice driveway. All
along this drive one sees the noun
tains in all their grandeur both on
the Clear creek and the Fall river
side. On the summit of the range
one has a beautiful view of the snowy
sides of James Peak and other high
elevations. Descending into the
Fall river valley one has most
excellent drive down to its inter-
section with the Clear creek. On the
homeward way he passes many min
ing properties which will in a reason
ably short time make this section one
of the greatest ore producing dis
tricts in the Rocky Mountain country.
This drive can easily be made in five
hours and it is interesting every min
ute from start to finish. Our citi-
izens who are favored with conveyan-
ces will find 1t treat to make this
trip.

Our sister county on the east
Jefferson, is setting pace and
making an innovation that will give
it lots of substantial and profitable
advertising. The Jefferson county
Fair Association has decided to hold
its annual fair in conjunction with
Lakeside and the building now used
for amusements will be turned over
to the county association in which to
place its agricultural and other ex.
hibits. The fair will be held one
week beginning September goth and
the exhibits can be seen at all
hours day and night 1t is stated
that this will be the first and only
night and day fair in this country.
The Fair Association is making ar
rangements to lease tract of ground
adjacent to Lakeside on which to
make a half-mile track where races
will be in order each day. During
the Democratic National Convention,
Gilpin county made a large mineral
exhibit in Denver that was a great
attraction and big hit. The coun-
ty is feeling the beneficial effects
thereof Why can't Clear Creek do
something substantial to show its re-
sources? The counties all around US
are "doing something" while we are
waiting for others to do for US.
