raetolu. Road to be Completed.

By increasing the capital stock
from $4,000 to s500,OOO, done at a
meeting of the Hall Construction
company, the Denver & Clear Greek
District railway, popularity known as
the "Pactolus road" will be complet-
ed within the present year.
The Pactclus road runs from Pac.
tolus, in Gilpin county, on the Moffat
road. to Central City, Black Hawk
and Nevadaville. When it is con.
structed it will be a great impetus
for the smelter and coal industry.
I'VE will ship ore principally from
Central City to the smelters in Den.
ver," said Robert A. Hall, president
of the Hall Construction company
and general manager Of the Pactolus
road. 1--WE also expect to haul much
coal from the Leyden and Louisville
coal fields
An illustration of how much nearer
the road will bring Central City can
be gathered from the fact that at pre-
sent it takes thirty-six hours to haul
coal from Leyden or Louisville to
Central City. When the new road is
completed it will take but twenty
four hours.
The road from Pactolus to Central
City will cover seventeen miles with
an additional eight miles to the
other places in the vicinity of that
city. At the present six miles of road
have been built out Of Pactolus. With
the increased capital stock, the work
of construction will continue uninter
rupted until the road is completed.
The increase in stock has already
been subscribed for. The road is be-
ing financed principally by capital
from Iowa and Nebraska.-Denvel

Mines and Minerals at National Fair.
The United States Agricultural and

Mines and Minerals at National Fair
The United States Agricultural and
Industrial Exposition has been incor.
porated with a capital of 81 ,00O, 900
The purpose of the Exposition is to
hold an annual national exposition in
one of the western states, the loca-
tion to be decided at an early date.
1t is the purpose of the exposition
to show to the people of the United
States, and to the world, just what
the United States Eexposition is to
be, agriculturally, industrially and
educationally. Every phase OF the
mining industry is to be fully repre-
sented, and exploited. Large space
will be devoted to this exhibit, with
every facility such as power and me-
chanical equipment for the reduction
of the ores, latest inventions for
separating the metals from the var
ious ore bearing bodies, from the
lowest grade ores to the richest. In
cluded will be the different methods
of mining from the crude processes
of the early period of the industry
to the present day perfected methods
1t is the intention of the exposi-
tion to so classify this department
as to make it one of the most COM
prehensive Of the entire exposition.
The department of Mines and Metal
lurgy will be divided into the follow
ign groups:
A.-Working CT mines, ore beds
and quarries.
B.-Minerals and stones, and their
utilization.
C.-Mine models, maps and photo
graphs.
D.-Metallurgy.
E.-Literature Of mining and metal
lurgy.
F.-Mining machinery and appli-
ances.
In attition to the above classifica-
tion there will be practical illustrat-
ed lectures by eminent professors in
mineralogy and mining science, and
to this end the exposition invites
suggestions that will add to the in
terest and educational values of this
department. The temporary headquar-
ters of the exposition are at Hartford,
Conn.

GunneII Hill Activity.

3here is good surface showing
on Gunnell hill and several parties
have taken leases lately with view
to making mines of their holdings.
There has been much gophering of
the ground thereabouts evidently in
the hope of uncovering a lead near
the surface.
The Grand Central is hard by and
the splendid Eureka not far from the
workings now going down in a shaft
being sunk by parties who have a
three-year lease and bond on the
property from Denver people who are
the owners.
The shaft is now down about 80
feet and operated by a hoist driven
by horse power.
This section has produced consider
able ore in the past. but the possibi-
lities are that the present activity
thereabouts is principally due to the
proximity of the Eureka, which has
proven to be a most excellent prop
erty.
Not more than thousand feet from
the operations mentioned two other
parties are sinking evidently intent
on cutting the Eureka or some vein
equally as good.

which many dramas fail to reach in

Freezes to Death.

Thomas A. Irwin, prominent attor-
ney Of Denver, principal owner in
the Justice mine, in lower Russell
Gulch, was found dead 500 feet west
Of the Justice shaft house Friday af-
ternoon. January 7th. He had been
missing since the Sunday previous.
He left Idaho Springs Sunday after
On his way over he went to the
mine. Boys who were herding cows
in the vicinity of the Justice Sunday
afternoon claim they saw Irwin about
at the time, examining the lock on
the door of the shaft house. He rode
on down the hill and the boys say
they heard quite commotion and
having trouble with his horse. 1t is
likely that the horse threw him, or
else he dismounted and the horse
managed to get away. II the man
he would have frozen to death be-
fore anyone would discover him. The
weather was very cold on the End Of
January, and particularly so at the
Justice mine, where strong wind
is usually blowing.
The horse Irwin was riding return
ed to Idaho Springs late Sunday
night without a rider. This aroused
hn icfu of hn NJ vi
they telephoned to Central to learn
If Irwin had arrived here. Somehow
they got the information that he had
stopped at the Teller house Sunday
evening. AS nothing was heard from
the missing man for several days,
Geo. Oldweilder, who had looked after
the Justice for Irwin, was notified by
a business associate of Irwin to make
to the Justice mine Friday and found
the body OF Irwin near the road, hid
den from view by clump of trees.
He came back to Central and notifi-
ed Coroner Hamllik. The body was
brought to this city, and late in the
evening was taken to Idaho Springs.
Sunday last, the remains were ship
ped to Denver, where private SER

of Irwin. The body was cremated at
Riverside cemetery.
Irwin was a prominent operator in

and operated the Garden mine, now
part of the Sun and Moon group. He
was a very capable attorney in min
ing litigation and had quite an ex-
charter member of Idaho Springs
lodge of Elks.
In will made in the early part of
last year. Irwin bequeaths SO each
to his father, brother and sister. He
leaves all his property to Miss De-
merris A. Moon. The property
amounts to $1,000 in life insurance
policies only, according to the let
ters for administration, which were
filed in the probate court in Denver
yesterday. 1t is thought that other
property will be found later, as Irwin
received a large sum of money under
the will of Mrs. Sarah B. Thompson,
who had been foster mother to him
for many years before her death. in
September 1906 This estate is yet

In June of last year, what is claim
ed to be a worlds record for single
track mining tunnel driving was
made. In this month 1923 feet of 6xS-
foot tunnel was driven with double
drilling and mucking crews. The rec
ord Of 338 feet made in August in
cluded large part of double track
section.
Laterals are now being driven to
connect several of the big properties
on Quartz hill with the tunnel, and
for the present, while the machines
are engaged at this work, the main
bore is not being extended. The ven-
tilation at the breast has been poor
for the past month. The ventilation
will improve as connection with the
various mines are made. 1t is ex-
pected that work will be resumed on
the breast during March.
The total underground laterals tri-
butary to the Newhouse tunnel
amount to about 5000 feet, or three
miles. The mine workings which are
opened through these laterals COM
prise approximately 20 miles of
shafts. raises and drifts, and few
months later, when connection is
made with the big mines in Nevada
vile and Quartz hill it is estimated
that the tunnel will be directly con-
nected with more than 100 miles Of
old mine workings.
