AFTER THE PRIZE.

Since the Newhouse tunnel cut the
Prize vein, exposing ore of attractive
richness, numerous parties have been
seeking a lease on the property. Sun
day. Mr.. Sholem, of Colorado
Springs, representing the Schaffer
brothers, of New York, owners of
the mine, was in the city. He spent
most of the time here with H. C.
Bolsinger, who is one Of the several
who are endeavoring to procure a
lease. Mr.. Bolsinger, should he be
successful in getting lease, intends
to work the Prize in connection with
the Hubert. Both properties are con-
nected at several drifts, and could
therefore be worked jointly at a
great advantage. 1t will not be long
before the Prize passes into the
hands of someone who will do exten-
sive work.

PRECIOUS METAL MINING

with that necessity by the acquisi
tion of sudden find of a fabulous
fortune.
And the end Is not yet, though
now great deal of grubbing is go
ing on, made possible by the know
ledge Of better scientific treatment
OF precious metal ores. AS to other
great finds, they are just as possible
as those previously made, which con-
veys nothing in the way of informa-
ton. The sections holding out, the
world must depend upon them for it's
supply of gold and silver.
Right here it must be stated that
the mining section around Central
has, a better record for stability than
any other known mining district in
the world. Mining men Of experience
concede this. when l mined in old
Gilpin" can quite often be heard in
the most remote Of mining camps.
Or there is nothing as true as the
fissure veins of Gilpin county" These
and other phrases are common where
ever mining men congregate. The i'm
preston thus conveyed, while mere
sentiment, have good sound basis
Of fact.
But mining has fallen off percept-
IDLY. The ranch on the prairie has
a halo Of anticipation around it. The
one lone shack may be the founda-
ton of a large city. 1t is that which
calls at the present. And so even the
very good things are in abeyance and
cannot be gathered till the opportune
time and that time is the present,
for opportunity is always just around
the corner, and mining is the best
one of the lot.

NEW ROAD COMING
A Little Cooperation Necessary
on the Part of the PeopIe
in Central.

1t now looks as though the people,
Of Central would see broad gauge
road into this city long before they
expected. Friday Of last week, Thos.
E. Bartlett, one of the officers of the
Hall Construction company and j. G.
Barri, engineer, were in town. They
came up to lock over sites for the
terminals. Several places are being
considered for the depot. One is an
ideal spot, being in the very center
of the town.
From the talk several of the prom
inent citizens had with the visitors,
they expect the citizens of Central
to assist them to some extent in
procuring terminal facilities. They ex-
pect the city to grant them fran
chise, and the way some talk who
interviewed the gentlemen, they
think it would not be asking the peo-
pie here too much to give them
ground for the depot.
If satisfactory arrangements can be
made for the depot site, the gentle
men assured those with whom they
talked that the Pactolus road would
be completed into Central by the lat
ter part Of the year. If the ground
is donated for the depot, the gentle
men said the company would agree
to put up depot that would be as
fine a structure as any depot in any
mountain town in the state.
1t would appear from the conversa-
ton had with Mr.. Bartlett that the
completion Of the road into Central
is virtually assured and all that is
, expected Of the citizens of Central is
to show that they will do the right
thing in regard to the depot grounds.
Several officials Of the company are
expected to visit Central within a day
or two and the matter of site for
the depot will be discussed and in
all probability some definite action
will be taken.

EDWIN RULE PASSES AWAY.

Tuesday morning between the hours
of 4 and O'Clock, Edwin Rule, for
SO years a well-known and respected
citizen of this city passed to the
Great Beyond" Death came with
out the least pain, for at 4:S0 his
wife was with him and he went to
sleep. From this sleep he never
awakened.
Deceased had been feeling poorly
for the past six months. but his con-
dition was not considered serious
until about six weeks ago, when he
was compelled to take to his room
and quit active work. Since that time
he would rally and then relapse. The
final relapse came last Saturday,
since which time his condition had
been alarming. During his illness he
had suffered no pain in the least. His
greatest suffering was caused by
weakness. Dropsy Of the heart was
the cause of his death. Every atteu.
tion was given him but to no avail.

Edwin Rule was born in Cornwall,
England, December 4th, 1856. At the
age of 16 he came to America and
located in Gilpin county. following
the vocation of mining. He was more
successful at mining than the or
dinary run Of men, and during the
Leadville excitement was among the
: first on the ground. After a year
in that section he returned to Gill
pin county and followed mining until
eight years ago, when he purchased

TO Attract MINE INVESTOR.

Colorado, as the first gold-producine
state in the Union, will soon become
the mecca of the mining investor and
operator. IL the plans proposed by
Franklin Guiterman, vice president
and general manager Of the Ameri-
chairman of the new committee Of
the Chamber of Commerce on mines
and mining, are carried out, says the
Denver Republican.
The first meeting Of the committee
was held last week, and an outline
was made Of the methods by which
Colorado is soon to come into the
prominence she deserves as the lead
ing precious metal mining state of
the country. It was decided to send
a man to the various camps Of the
state to collect information on pro-
duction, treatment methods and as
to why certain properties have been
closed down.
James F. Callbreath, secretary OF
the American Mining congress, at
tended the meeting and explained the
functions Of the new national bureau
Of mines. in securing which the con-
gress was a vital factor. Callbreath
believes that it will be easy and
necessary for the chambers commit
tee on mining to cooperate with the
federal department.
There Is big field in Colorado
for mining investment Of the right
Sort" said Mr.. Guiterman to his
committee. II think It is time for the
chamber Of commerce to take q hand
and try to secure capital with which
to operate the vast undeveloped min
eral resources Of this state, which is
still first in the nation In the pro-
ducion Of gold"

FORMER CENTRAL BELLE WEEDS.

At the residence of the brides
mother. Mrs. E. A. Truan. in Denver,
Miss Mabel Truan, a former Central.
lite. was married to Mr.. George M.
Strawn, of Illinois.
Miss Truan has always been popu-
lar with the younger set owing to
her witty and jovial disposition.
Mr.. Strawn is druggist by pro-
fession and comes Of a very good fam
ily The young couple were the re-
cipients of a large number of very
costly presents.
Only the members of both families
and the D. G. B. G. club of young
ladies Of which Miss Truan was a
member, were present.
The bride was richly costumed in
princess Of Persian lawn and carri-
ed a bouquet of white roses. Miss
Ethel Odgers, niece of the bride, was
bridesmaid and Mr.. Albert Strawn,
brother Of the groom, was best man.
The couple made a very pleasing
appearance against a background of
palms and ferns, the room being
decorated profusely with smilax and
roses. After the ceremony, which
was performed by the Rev. DR.. Horn
beck, pastor of the Grant Avenue NJ
E. church, the company sat down to
very elaborate refreshments.
While the party were partaking.
some of the friends of the couple
were up stairs busily engaged with a
sewing machine, running to exceed
the speed limit. sewing up every
aperture in their nightly robes.
1t is needless to say they receiv-
ed a large contribution Of rice and
confetto.
The groom had engaged a taxicab
to convey himself and bride to the
depot, where they took the train for
Manitou and Colorado Springs and
the Bate auto was also in waiting to
carry the friends Of the couple to
help them off. When the taxicab
drove up to the door the bride and
groom made a bolt for it amidst a
shower of rice and tried to make
their escape alone, but by a clever
piece OF strategy the bridesmaid and
Mrs. Elizabeth Bate jumped in with
the chauffeur.
Then the race for the depot be-
gan from 664 south Pearl and it was
sensational at least till the crowded
section of the city was reached. The
chauffeur of the taxicab got the
start Of the other machine, which
soon got under way. and with Ray
Bate at the wheel followed in their
wake and was in time to catch them
in the train and give them another
contribution of the Chinese staple.
They had just completed their task
when the d. G. B. G. girls appeared
on the scene and gave them another
shower.
To the delight of the newlywed's s
friends, the coach was crowded and
their departure on the sea Of matri-
mony was pretty well advertised
among the occupants.

1t was Australia, then California
with Colorado a close third, with her
Pixies Peak or bust slogan. These
were the most notable in precious
metal mining annals. OF course Vir-
ginia and Georgia were probably the
first in this country to inject the
mining fever into a mans veins. But
the operations were desultory and
never came up to anticipations.
There have been any number of
good things in the mining way since.
For instance, Montana made flatter-
ing record; then Nevada with her
Comstock mines; Deadwood, s. OAK,
following. Then the Leadville excite
ment. South Africa next; not forget
ting the Klondyke. These with local
places such as Cripple Creek and
again back to Nevada make up the
record of modern precious metal
mining. The Ophirs and Golcondas Of
more distant days are historic.
The wealth poured out by these
fabulously rich sections of country
made it possible for the world to
enjoy all the benefits thus granted
mankind. The number engaged in the
quest for the precious metals were
fraction compared with those in
other pursuits. These few, then,
should truly be likened to world ben
efactors.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.

Thursday evening Of last week, one
OF the largest classes that has evel
graduated from the Central City High
school received their well-deserved
diplomas. There were fourteen in the
class-three Of whom were boys.
1t is matter of remark to learn
that the adjoining towns were repre-.
sented in the class, it showed that
they took interest in the Central
City Union High school and encour-
aged its work. Black Hawk was rep
resented by Eva Sorenson, Russell
Gulch by Jennie Ware and Bald
Mountain by Bessie Clark and Bea-
trice Richards, the remainder of the
class being from Central City.
On account of the large number
in the class, all could not take part
in the exercises.
The program was very interesting
and those who helped make it SO,
deserve much credit for the way in
which they represented their class.
Eva Sorenson and Everett Mccoy
gave the valedictory and salutatory
addresses, respectively. Both these
young folks deserve special mention
for the elaborate way in which they
delivered their addresses. James Rey.
nolds and Mabel French, the two
midgets of the class, were given
recitations, and they surely did JUS
tice to them. They were well receiv-
ed, being very humorous.
The orations were given by Jennie
Ware, Bessie Clark and Walter Kele-
her, Jennie Ware giving the oration
entitled, Famous Women of Amer.
ica," Bessie Clark giving, Our Pat
riotic Songs" and Walter Keleher
Three Scenes in the Life of Ma
than Hale" These orations were in
teresting as well as instructive.
Hazel Stribley, the musician Of the
class rendered a most beautiful sell
ection, "Spinnlied."
The program was interspersed with
music by the High school chorus, the
High school quartette and the Senior
girls.
Those of the class who did no,
have a special part in the exercises
acquitted themselves in a most pleas
ing manner with their singing, which
was something out of the ordinary.
On account Of the illness Of th'
County Superintendent, Frances c
Mayhew, Superintendent George r
Momyer presented the class with thu
diplomas. In his presentations ad
dress he congratulated the class foi
staying with the school through thu
four years of hard work, and wish
ed them prosperity in their futur'
undertakings.
| The class motto is so suggestive
"Out of School Life, into Life
School," we hope that Life's schoo
may be Just as bright and pleasan
for them as their school life ha
been.
