TAFT FRIENDS LOOK
 ASKAKCE AT ROOSEVELT
tContinued from Page 1.)

(Conhnued from Page 1.)
 Toilette will be strongly urged there. At the same time it is well known here that Roosevelt sentiment Is OYerruled in Nebraska, and this sentiment is expected to show itself without any particular effort at or, eanizing it. At all events, instructed delegates will so split uD the states. delegation that if will not be able to present a solid vote for anw one man. Then the progressive spir- it in Nebraska is to be reckoncG with. Whether their vote be for Roosevelt, Taft or La Toilette re- mains to be seen, but it is reason able to assume that it will be for some one who stands for the prin. ciDies of the league which is headed by Senator Jonathan Bourne, or oregon, fatEer of the progressive movement.
 Looks Democratic.
 The various phases of the com TleX political situation emphasizes the fact that democratis success at the next election seems to be as sured. Taft, while a strong candidate. popular to a certain extent with the masses, extremely popular wiht Wall street and other big interests, looms tho largest of all candidates at present Should Roosevelt enter the lists, the result would be in doubt If Roosevelt Is successful in winning the support of the republican convention, his election might be assured. If he determines to fight his way to the presidency on the pro sressivc platform or whatever ticket he heads, democratic success at the polls probably would be assured. La Policies election is not thought probable, as he does not loom as large nationally as either Roosevelt or Taft On the democratic side. Harmon, Underwood, Wilson and Champ Clark are the men from whom candidate will be chosen.
 Colonel Roosevelt. it is said some time ago, would support President Taft for renomination and election. This was promptly denied by MT Roosevelt Since then he has at lacked the policy of the administra- ton in respect to the Controller bay scandal. Under the circumstances the anti-Taft elements in Washing ton are convinced that Roosevelt Is not friendly tO the reDOminatior Of faft, and that he is not going to do anything to help it.
 Friends of Mfr. Roosevelt say that the colonel is not out for the presidency this time, but that he has coyetOusl eyes on it for 1916. Should he. however. came out strong as a candidate at the next election, bis friends predict that Roosevelt would sweep the country as ho did in the 1904 campaign. notwith- standing the excellent record that the democrats have been making and the present defensive attitude of the Taft administration.

SARATOGA DEVELOPMENT.

Mr.. Chas. R. Dunn and Mr.. F. F.
Colby, of Detroit, Michigan, repre-
senting the administrator and heirs
Of the Berry estate which owns the
Saratoga mine, were in the city last
week making an examination of the
mine and conditions connected there
with. A complete survey Of the work
ings is being made by Engineer
Brown and plans were formulated for
extensive exploration of the territory
embraced in the nineteen claims of
the property. The gentlemen propose
to crosscut the territory from the
Newhouse lateral for a distance of
about 600 feet. This will show up
a number of veins that are known
and have been productive at higher
levels and in pursuance of a gen
eral policy of development these
veins will be worked as may be war
ranted. Mr.. Owen will remain the
representative of the owners and
will superintend this work.-Idaho

picked teams of fircmen from Golden
and Central, and the afternoon game
between the fast Golden Reds and
the Gilpin Mines. Don't overlook pat

WAR DANCE SHIPMENTS.

| A carload shipment of valuable ore
from the War Dance mine, shipped
to the Golden smelter last week, was
settled for Tuesday. There were IL
tons in the lot. The first class went
81 ounces gold, 10 ounces silver to
the ton, and the second class II
ounces gold, 27 ounces silver. The en-
tire car averaged 20 ounces and
brought the operators of the mine
S., 900.
The ore was taken from a 6-inch
streak in one Of the upper levels by
three men in little more than three
weeks time. A guard was placed
over the shipment from the time it
left the Black Hawk depot until the
time it entered the smelter at Col
den for treatment.
In addition to this rich shipment
three cars Of dump stuff were sent
from the War Dance the latter part
Of the month. This averaged $500
to the ton.
Another mine operated by the Col
den smelter, which has been making
a good showing the past two months
is the National. Last month eight
cars were shipped to Golden from
this property. The product averaged
$1,000 to the ton. The National is
admitted to have the largest ore
bodies of any mine in the camp. 1t
is said by miners working in the
property that If the mine were equip
ped with machine drills steady out
put Of at least 100 tons a day could
be maintained indefinitely.

SHIPMENTS INCREASING.

Shipments from Black Hawk to
Golden and Denver show a decided
increase each month, indicating that
things mining are improving and that
a large production Of ore is being
made. During the month of May 219
cars were sent out, showing heavy
increase over the month of Arpil,
when the shipments amounted to 17S
cars. The cars were all of large
capacity, carrying $4,000 pounds. Last
months shipments from Black Hawk
were the largest since May 1906.

"wHAT HAPPENED TO JONES'"

Before a capacity house Tuesday
evening. :. the comedy play. What
Happened to JONES'" was presented
by the Senior class Of the Central
City High school. The play was well
received by the large audience, which
again demonstrates the exceptional
ability Of the home talent of the
county.
Lack OF time and space prevents
individual mention of the cast. Suf-
flee to say that the work Of Norman
Morrison, as Jones'" the leading
character, was taken in very able
manner. Norman shows rare talent
in this line and we predict a great
future for him, in event Of his fol-
lowing the art. AS much might be
said of Frances Gibson, who played
the role of "Cissy." In fact, all were
right-up-to-the-minut with their parts
and the audience was not slow in
showing their appreciation.
The class play before graduation
is all. that the graduates have to de-
pend upon to defray the expenses
during their last school year, and
through the untiring efforts Of the
teachers and students these plays are
nearly always a success. George Ham
llik instructed and drilled the class
in his usual able manner. All in all,
What Happened to Jones" was a
grand success.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

tOllOWlng Is the list OF those VINO
were excused from taking one on
more of the examinations at the
close Of the school year. In order
to be excused from an examination
a student must have had a grade in
the subject of 80 per cent or over.
SO It really counts for something.
Excused in one subject-Helen Bal
lard, John Thompson, Florence Hen
derson. Grace Rule. Gayle Falk.
Kenneth Lewis, Anna O'Neill.
Excused in two subjects-Victor
Harvey, Florence Crook. Stella Par
sons. Lillye Ayers. Delmor Brown.
Helen Heuer, Frank Barbee.
Excused in three subjects-Jack
McCallister. Rose Miller, Marguerite
Gibson.
Excused in four subiects-Stella
Baleria. Kate Comfort, Hazel KIM
/ ball, Ella LIE Prowse, Alma Willis.
Myrtle Bowden, Iverne Roberts. Lo-
retta Mayor, Laura Hill.
Excused in five subjects-Lillie
Anderson, Minnie Welch,, Viola Oil
yer.
All the seniors were excused from
examinations II they were doing pass
work. AS all came up to this
standard, none had to take any ex-
aminations. Especial attention is
called to those who were carrying
five studies, ard were excused from
all examinations. II any inference
can be drawn at all 1t would seem
to be that hard work kills nobody.
The percentage of failures in the
school is so small that it is prac--
tically negligible. The bible says
that 1.-The poor we have always with
u.s." and there are some in the
school who have persistenly refused
or neglected to do good work, and
whose parents or guardians have not
cooperated with the teachers, who
find themselves at the close Of the
year with a harvest OF regrets in
stead of a record inspiring pride.
But the vast majority of the students
have done well enough so that they
can be allowed to go on into the
next year. At present. the outlook
seems good for large school next
year.
Miss Reed will spend the summer
at her home in Greeley. Miss Rob-
inson will go Immediately to her
home In Miami. Oklahoma, returning
to Central City some time in August.
Miss Cody will probably remain here
the greater part Of the summer.
Miss Laura Trenoweth, who has been
engaged for the language department.
expects to attend the summer ses-
sion OF the University OF Wisconsin.
returning to her home here about the
first OF August. Mr.. Bramhall's fam
lily have taken a cottage in Tolland.
and will have summer in the park.
Notice is again given of the ex-
animation for entrance to the High
school, which will be held in the
High school building on Saturday,
August 26th. unless 1t seems advis-
able to change the date, in which
case ample notice will be given. All
who expect to take these examina-
tions. would confer favor by noti-
flying the principal at an early date.
Friday Is the end of the school
year.

THE MINING SITUATION.

All recognize that mining has had
some sort Of a blow given it caus.
ing less activity. Whether a toe
close espionage upon the part Of the
government in protecting timber. or
that it had been worked too frantical-
ly by stock companies that never
made return for the money invest
ed, or mayhap the smelter trust
oveweached itself by limiting pro-
duction, the cause, whatever 1t be,
certainly left things at low ebb.
There are some who would rehabili-
tate conditions through sending out
prospecttors to find new fields Of de-
velopment.
The best Of the situation is the
recognition of the Importance of min
ing to the state. We're 1t not for the
wonderful finds in Clear Creek and
the development Of the mines in old
Gilpin, Denver may never have been
OF course a great number of its citi-
zens have benefited directly through
mining, but most have gained indi-
rectly and at the expense of the more
foresighted, who went down into
their pocket and helped matters
along.
This revival Of interest and the
recognition OF the importance of min
ing to every part of the state, is
certain to result in benefit to all con-
cerned. Whether to act in the man.
ner suggested, in sending out pros
pectors, is to result in greater gain
than by concentrating any fund rails
point of view. But it is admitted that
should a new camp develop it's in
fluence would be more widespread
than to influence capital to invest
But that is a matter which can be
decided by those who would seem to
MINING SITUATIN-2-O
prefer this way of uncovering an en-
tirely new district.
There is SO much to be performed
ere a new country develops. While
there are undoubtedly many proper
ties, like those in Gilpin, which with
judicious management could be made
to pay almost from the start. They
may have veins intact. In fact the
property is past the prospecting
stage. 1t is a mine, having proven
such by its output.
The prospecting idea of the valley
people is all right and the hope Is
that the results may be such that
a veritable stampede is inaugurated
for the new discovery. 1t is pity,
though, that the socalled mining geo
logist could not wisely advise in
matter of the kind, of possible places
for the uncovering Of new mineral
deposits, or they could suggest the
working OF properties well-known to
them. They probably admit their fall
bility in this respect. Having acquir-
ed a knowledge Of the rocks, the
lay mind would reason that these
could not err in judgment and their
recommendations prove Of inestima-
bic value. But to know to a certainty.
this class would not be in the bus
mess, for they would all be capital
lists and therefore not caring to fur
nish information to those less learn
ed in things mining. 1t is not to be-
little these, for they have proven
capable on occasion. and many have
benefited by what they know.
