which he has leased and will also work
over other dumps OF this section. The
result OF his work along this line so far
has been very satisfactory. He will
also work over the dump Of the Park

W. W. Cannady and associates have
been driving away on the. Vititow ore
shoot OF the Katie Emett property, To-
Gated up Cascade creek. AS . reward
Of their efforts and confidence they are
now getting out ore that runs seven and
one-half ounces in gold and nearly four
onces in silver. Ore running $50 per
ton is no slouch and especially with an
eight inch streak OF this and Al addi-
tional fifteen inch streak Of excellent
grade Of mill ore. The property is owned
by DR.. W. C. Abbott and others Of Chi
cago Years ago the property was ope-
rated by the vititow brothers who made
good pile Of money but the pay streak
seemed to have disappeared. Prospect
ing has been done at times TO find the
Lost Ore Shoot but it was left to the
mining genius Of Wes. Cannady to re-
cover it and he will see that it is not
again numbered With the Lost.
One of the important duties OF the
city council at their meeting next week
will be the selection OF Chief OF the
Fire depa rtment. one OF the most try
ing positions in the city. On the zeal,
watchfulness, cool head, good judgement
and promptness Of the chief depends to
a large extent the success OF extermin-
ating fires. During the past year this
! position has been ably and etfectually
filled by H. L. Robinson Brick. The
three fires during this time were all OF
inside origination, yet they were extin-
guished with practically a nominal loss
amounting all told to about e6OO. Mr..
Robinson has filled the position during
other years, although not consecutive.
Hence his experience is such as to merit
q re- appointment. He is always vigilant
and on the alert not only in cases Of fires

fare Of the department. Without any
disparagement whatever to the ability
Of other applicants it cannot be denied
that in continuing Brick as chief. the
community can rest assured that efficien-
cy, watchfulness and Jealous perform
ance Of duty will be the standard for the
ensuing year.
1t has been several years since Idaho
Springs has had first class celebration
on the Fourth day Of July. Heretofore
during this time the claim has been
made that other towns of the Clear
Creek valley had made arrangements
and for this reason it would not be ad-
visable to celebrate here. We have not
/ heard of any Of these towns agitating
this question this year so why not take
time by the forelock and get into the
swim for big rousing time. Our peo
pie have literally attended such celebra
tions at other places now we ought t.
have one and invite surrounding place:
to turn out and swell the crowd here
Some Of the money that has been drift
ing out OF our town in past years OF
this national occasion might then hav'
an opportunity Of making returns. 1t il
our turn to celebrate and we should hav'
one that will attract the people from
Silver Plume, Georgetown, and clea
down to Golden, with excursions from
Denver for those who want to spend
day or SO in the mountains instead OF II
the heated city. 1t team be done, it shoult
be done, and if the proper pride and ct
fort is set forth it will be done. Th'
start should be made right away so tha
it will be done right.
