Banner Consolidated

In it's daily report dated last Thurs
day, the Riedel Investment company
has the following to say in regard to
the operations of the Banner Consoli-
dated company:
"In doing surface work on the Harri-
son vein on Trail Creek, part of the
property of the Banner Consolidated
an important discovery was made and
some good Shipping ore opened prac-
tically at grass roots. Mr.. VIM.
Bolitho, who has been looking for a
lease on the property, has just shipped
a trial lot of about 1000 pounds from
the surface strike, which gave returns
on the basis of 255 ounces in gold,
ounces silver and some copper or a
value of better than $50 per ton. The
Harrison vein is an extension of the
Centurion on which the Banner Com
pany is now carrying on extensive op-
erations, working the upper portion of
the mine with machine drills through
the road level tunnel. Inthe Champion
road level drift they are making an
average of better than feet per day.
They are breaking a considerable
amount, tramming about 40 cars per
day. When they reach the ore body
in the Centurion on this level they will
have virgin block of ground above
them about 500 #. high which covers
the road tunnel to the surface shafts. :"

City Council

The city fathers had some difficulty
in getting quorum Thursday night in
order to transact the business that
naturally arises during the month.
Alderman Miller was detained at home
owing to the illness of child and Al
derman Straub was bed-ridden with .
sore toe. But with the aid of Marshal
O'Rourke, who rounded up the other
members, enough were found to tran
sact business, Mayor Roberts return ng
from Silver Plume to help out the
quorum.
After the minutes of the previous
meeting were approved and the month
ly reports of the officers were read and
placed on file, the first matter to be
discussed was the application for a
transfer of the saloon license of A. C.
Hart to the Zang Brewing company.
Statements were made that were not
favorable to the management of the
place, and for time it was a question
granted, but after promise made by
representative of the brewery company
that the place would be conducted in an
orderly manner and comply strictly
with the ordinances, the transfer was
made.
A resolution transferring the express
license of F. E. Noxon to Dan Witter
was passed without discussion.
The clerk was authorized to issue
building permit to Louis Trainer, Of
Dreamland theatre, but it was mere
matter of form for the building had
been completed under the direction of
the fire and police committee.
The blowing of the siren whistle
morning, noon and night again came up
for discussion and was finally disposed
of by reference to the fire and police
committee. The hours suggested are
ga. m IL m. and 6 p, m. A confer
ence will be held with the Gem COM
pany.
A request was received from the
Pikers' Athletic association to have the
city assign to it its portion of the do
nation made last summer for the en-
tertainnent of the visiting newspaper
men, the entire amount subscribed not
having been expended, goodly sum
now lying dormant in the hands of the
committee. The association proposes
to extend the fence line of the ball
grounds and make it public field for
sports. Accompanying the request was
a statement that large majority of
the subscribers to the fund had as
signed their interests. The matter
called out considerable discussion, but
the members of the council not be-
ing of one mind, motion to lay the
matter on the table prevailed.
City Attorney Collom announced that
he had finally concluded the matter of
transferring to the Big Five company
a vacation of certain portions of
ground on First avenue in exchange
for lots at the reservoir, and intro
duced an ordinance covering the mat

Herb. Johns perhaps enjoys as wide
an acquaintance hereabouts as any
other person and is most popular with
the younger set. This fact was il
lustrated Wednesday night when the
announcement was made that he had
been quietly married. When asked to
verify or deny the charge, he intimat-
ed that he was a Benedict. That was
enough. Something like fifty hands
captured him and treated him to a
burro ride over the city to the music of
horns, drums, pans and whistles, the
outing costing the victim pretty piece
of money. 1t now develops that RED
was simply stringing his friends.

Ask friend to put quarter in one
pocket and dime in the opposite
pocket. Tell him that the quarter rep
resents 20 and the dime 5. Now ask
him to triple the coin that is in his
right pocket and double that which is
in his left pocket, and then add these
two products together, simply telling
you whether the result is odd or even.
If il be even, then the quarter is in his
right pocket and the dime in the left:
If it be odd, then the quarter is in his
left pocket and the dime in his right.
You may give any values to the coins
other than 20 and 5, provided that one
number is odd and the other even. the
even number being given to the quar-
ter. And you can, of course. use any
other coins, so long as you give them
odd and even values.

ment of the republic is shown by a
special stone, the entire map present
ing glittering array of gems of every
hue.
