After months OF idleness the Quito
mine, located about a mile up Chicago
Creek, resumed active operations last
Monday. This is encouraging news and
is simply one Of the many signs OF better
times in this mining camp. This prop
erty has been a large producer and has
turned out some very rich ore. While
there has been no mining done for
months, yet employees have been kept
at the shaft house to keep the pumps
running SO as to prevent the workings
from filling up with water and for the
further purpose Of keeping the mine in
good condition. There are large ore re-
serves consisting Of good grade of mill
ing ores while there are streaks Of very
high grade ores. The management will
be under the direction Of Mr.. Chas.
DeCamp who is thoroughly familiar
with the developments and the property.
He was formerly in charge Of it and in
returning knows just where to begin
and what to do to the best advantage.

ments that are in process on the Con-
queror mine near Empire. Among
these is boarding house of sufficient

the ore from the mines of the Con-
aueror group of which our former
townsman, j. C. Sturdevant, is the
superintendent. George Keyes of

these extensive improvements and
which will mean much for Empire in
business way.
The Marshall Russell Tunnel COM
pany at Empire station Colorado, is
now in shape to prosecute their work
in rapid manner. Among the inn
provements is new power plant which
was ready to be placed in commission
this week. Beginning next Monday
machine drills will be put in operation
at the breast Of the tunnel which is
now in distance of 1000 feet. The
company has installed two Rand COM
pressors each of which will operate
five machine drills. This will put the
company in position to make some
record breaking advances in the tun-
mel. The holdings of the company
consists of large placer at the sta

railroad and also Clear Creek. In ad-
dition to the placer the holdings con-

what is going on and what is being ac-

Mr.. Chauneey Leach died at the
residence of his son, F. M Leach, on
Sunday morning. The funeral services

During the Civil War he was musi-
elan in the First Conn. Heavy Artillery
and was a member of the G. A. r.
The deceased was born Sept. 80, 1880

Superintendent C. L. Jaynes of the
General Consolidated Mines company
is feeling very greatly yencouraged over
the conditions prevailing in the Chica-
go Belle claim. A new shaft is being
sunk near the east end of the claim
and at depth of about thirty feet, an
eighteen inch body Of as fine quartz
an one would wish to sec has been en-
countered. Assays show that it has a
general value in gold of about $2l with
a small showing of silver The sinking
will continue until connection is made
with drift in which a winze has been
sunk about twenty feet deeper. In this
winze the streak is about Is inches wide
and assays $50. 90 per ton, principally
in gold. Everything about this claim
from mineral bearing standpoint
indicates the opening up of very
large and profitable producing prop
erty. Work in the winze was tsmpor-
arily stopped on account of being I'M
able to handle the flow of water. Az
soon as connections are made hoist
will be installed and the drawback can
then be easily overcome.

Colonel Lew Roberts spent several
days in the city during this week
Forty years ago last Monday he took
Horace Greeley's advice by shaking
the dust of Wisconsin from off his feet
and faced westward. He has made
his home in the west ever since and is
one of the fellows who believe in stand
ing up for the scenes and condition of
his adopted home His motto is not
that is the way they do things back
in Wisconsin" but he believes in the
way things are done here. He is lv-
ing in the present and not in the past.
There are people who are always
telling how things are done in some
other place and you scarcely ever hear
them speak of their present surroun-
dings. Lew does not belong to that
class. If he wants to make compari-
sons he can find ample illustrations here
in Colorado, during his long years of
residence. He believes in Colora-
do.
The dance given by the Eagles at
Opera House last Tuesday night was a
hummer in every respect. There were
ninety seven couples who "tripped the
light fantastic" and kept up the fun
until couple hours after midnight.
1t is seldom that this city has dance
more crowded with fun, better patron
lied and where the best of decorum
prevailed. There were all kinds of
dances from the old fashioned qua
drille to the latest imported round
dances. Light refreshments were
served in the way of ice cream and
cake. The committee deserved special
credit for the harmonious arranging of
everything that went to make up an
evening of unrestricted social pleasure.

ceived most favorable comments. The

Judd NJ. Brown has put the passenger
elevator in at the Sanatarium and has
done good job. 1t will prove a great
convenience not only for those unable
to walk on account Of rheumatic troubles
but also for the ladies who patronize the
hot tunnel baths, as the going up and
down the steps will be avoided. The
two tunnels will also be connected with
speaking trumpets through the office,
thus making it easy for patrons to make
known their wants to the office or to
attendants. The internal improvements
in the several buildings are good. 1t is
hoped the management can see its way
soon to get some ornamental devices for
the outside in the way OF lawns. This
would add most materially to the pres
ent effect and those who come here to
take baths would be more favorably i'm
pressed if their eyes feasted on green
lawns, flowers and trees.

The Ferry District Improvement as
sociation was organized in October,
1905. It's purpose was to induce the
city and state authorities to install
a proper system of street sprinkling
upon lower Market street and thereby
aIay the great quantities of dust
which were destroying the stocks of
merchants in that locality. The board
of harbor commissioners was induced
to flush Market street for one block
west Of the ferry and the supervisors
assisted by having lower Market street
sprinkled regularly.
The pet project of the Ferry District
Improvement association is the build
ing of viaduct across East street
from the ferry in order to enable pas
sengers to avoid the congested and
dangerous crossing at East and Market
streets.
The board Of harbor commissioners
voted $4,000 for the construction of a
viaduct upon condition that the city
would also appropriate $4,000 for this
purpose. This the city has failed TO
do. The Ferry District club intends TO
revive the campaign for this work at
some time in. the near future.
The Ferry District Improvement as
sociation has applied itself to only a
few special matters. 1t has not, as
the other Improvement clubs of the
city have. maintained a campaign for
the general improvement OF the dis
trict. II has confined itself to just
three things. the sprinkling of lower
Market street, the construction of the
East street viaduct and the iI1umina-
tion of lower Market street upon New
Years eve and other occasions.
The club has it's organization intact
