Hon H. Kinds, multi-millionaire of
Cleveland. Ohio. was in the city We'd
nesday as guest of l.. Sternoerger.
He was driven out to the hydro-electric
plant up Fall river that has recently
been completed and also taken to the
big Clifford mine where he saw some of
the rich ore that is characteristic of this
property. AS far as time would per-
NIT he gave these holdings of the Stern
bergers careful examination and was
wonderfully and agreeably surprised at
the magnitude and substantially of the
power plant and of the mining prop
critics. He left on the late afternoon
train thoroughly elated over his trip
and the courtesies extended him by Mr..
Sternberger and will unquestionably be
an ardent witness and advocate of the
large resources of the Fall river min
ing district. This gentleman is prom
inent mining man and mining engineer
and has operated very extensively in
Old and New Mexico, Arizona and other
mining section in which he has made
large sums of money.

New Company Is Organized.

Col. W. H. Moore, the veteran min
ing man of this county, a man who
has handled during the past forty
critics in Clear Creek county, and has
during this time brought into this
county perhaps as much money as
any one person, has organized and
incorporated a company under the
laws of the state of Colorado, known
as the Oklahoma and Colorado Min
ing and Milling company with a cap
italization of 100000 shares of the
par value of $1.OO each. The com
pany has taken over some of Mr..
Moore's properties up Fall river and
include among them some of his lat
est and richest mineral discoveries
and properties which in his judi
cious estimation will rival many OF
the rich properties that he has hand.-
ed and that have made many people
wealthy. Among his stockholders are

Marooned for Two DAYS.

Two C. & S. train loads of pleasure
seekers were marooned here last Sun
day afternoon by the washing out of
the track at point below Forks
Creek, and there was a lively scurry-
ing to secure accommodations for the
night and something to eat Coming
so Unexpectedly, neither the citizens
nor the passengers We're prepared for
the emergency, but finally the entire
number of passengers We're housed
and most of them really enjoyed the
experience. 1t was estimated that
in excess of 400 were put to the in
convenience.
Following on the heels of the Sun
havoc in Clear Creek canon on Mon
day, when large number of tourists
were compelled to spend the night
in town, but the number being COM
paratively small, they were easily
accommodated.
Be 1t said to the credit of the
company, every effort was made to
restore the track and the train serv
ice, every man available being press
ed into service at good wages.
In this connection it might be in
place to observe that people having
extra rooms should register them in
some public place so that in an ener-
gency the visitor within Our gates
might find somewhere to lay his
head. OF course these contingencies
do not occur often, but with list of
rooms available at all times, travel
ers can often be accommodated with
out trouble after the public hotels
