A BIG TIME LAST NIGHT!

Despite the unusually cold weather
q very large crowd attended the Fire
mems ball at the Armory hall last
evening. The gathering was one of
the largest to congregate in Armory
hall in years. The change Of weather
n week ago put crimp in outside
attendance which was small. But new
ertheless the crowd present had a
very enjoyable time. The music was
without question the best ever heard
In these parts. Prof. Satriano. with
five Of the best musicians he could
find in Denver. composed the orches-
ira. Their selections were the very
latest and were enchored frequently
Dancing was continued until o'clock
which allowed just time enough for
the working folk to change clothes
and get to work on time. The finan-
cial results wero not as good as was
expected on account Of the bad wealth
er. but the social success was up to
expectations, and beyond. Tho fire
men wish to thank the business men
and all who attended for the liberal
support received.

COMING INTO ITS OWN.

The mining industry, it would seem
is at last to receive some attention
from an organization that is intend
ed to advertise the opportunities and
resources of the state of Colorado
in every line of commerce. The Cham
Der of Commerce, of Denver, shows
disposition to assist the various
mining districts of the state in bring
ing about renewed activity. To this
end a committee has been appointed
mittee has held it's first meeting and
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, for some years past the
metalliferous mining industry of Col
ton from capitalists which it's mag
nitude and profit making possibilities
warrant, having been more or less
neglected (among other causes) by
reason of the great development of
the agricultural and horticultural re-
sources of the state; and
Whereas, ,metalliferous mining will
always be one of the prominent in
dustries of the state, materially aug
menting the states annual produc-
ton of new wealth and furnishing an
important home market for the pro-
ducts of the agricultural, horticul-
tural and manufacturing industries of
Colorado; and
Whereas, the primary object OF
this committee is in increased acti-
witty, along legimate mad conservative
lines, OF the metalliferous mining in
dustry of Colorado;
Resolved, that this committee
hereby invites the suggestions and
corporations of all who are directly
or indirectly interested in promoting
the increased activity Of such metalli
ferrous mining industry and thereby
advancing the welfare and prosperity
of the whole state"

HAVE SECURED RICH LEASE.

]. ]. Hoban and Thomas Egan this
week secured from John McColl,
agent. lease on the Henry NJ. Tel
Ter group of mines, Quartz hill, and
work will be inaugurated at once.
The property is located in nest
of mines that have produced many
millions. and that particular section
is quite lively right now. The vein
to be worked is the extension on the
east of the Gem mine, which has
been worked to the depth of 500
feet. The Hoban-Egan property has
produced generously in the past and
has nice showing of ore. There are
three shafts on the vein. the deepest
of which is 200 feet. Additional depth
will be gained by drifting west from
the bottom of each. The ore ranges
in value from 2 to 10 ozs. gold per
ton besides a heavy percentage in
lead.
Hcban and Egan consider that they
have secured one of the very best
propositions in Gilpin county and
they will push it vigorously

SUIT OVER PRIZE MINE.

A temporary injunction was asked
in the federal court yesterday by the
Prize Mining company of Central
City to restrain William S. and A.
Wells and Jesse Boswick from taking
ore said to belong to the first nam
ed company. Over s200,0O0 is involv-

1t is claimed the defendants were
securing their ore from vein
through the Newhouse tunnel, and
that this vein apexes the Prize vein.
The mine owned by the defendants
is over 1000 feet away from the
Prize mine, which is owned by New
York capitalists. 1t is impossible to
estimate the value of the ore in dis
PIT khai Wells boys and -Bos-
wick are said to have been taking
out ore for the last five or six
months. hs.-Tuesday's Denver Times.

BOUND OVER TO DISTRICT COURT

The three Austrians who were in
volved In the shooting scrape in Rus
sell Gulch on the 18th inst, were
given their preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice James Moody Tuesday.
Giovanni Rossi was dismissed, Guis-
eppi Bezer was bound over to the
district court in the sum of $500 and
Henrico Fontanario $1,000. The latter
furnished bond but the former is in
the county Jail unable to furnish bail
The only evidence against the men
is of circumstantial nature and it
is doubtful if a conviction can be
had. Charles oenasa, the complaining
witness, is dead, which makes the
whole affair more complicated than
it was originally, and that is saying
p great deal. During the preliminary
Tuesday, Attorney w. E. Withrow,
who is defending the accused men,
raised a point which set Justice
Moody and the court attendants
guessing. He said that according to
law Justice Moody was not legally
filling his position as he had not con-
formed to the legal requirements in
qualifying for the position. 1t seems
that the Justice failed to qualify with
in the time prescribed by the statutes
However, as the Justice himself
passed on the matter, he decided
against the attorney.

CONDITIONS ARE RETTERED.

1t seems Incredible that money
should not be easily forthcoming
when needed for investmnet in mines.
| tai has been spent in this district,
and, possibly had the outlay been in
measure retained, greater num-
Der of the big properties would still
be outputting ore as in the past. A
number have remarkable records,
better far maybe, than any now in
operation, yet to go over the list
would not lend much encouragement,
for the sums invested to make big
pay mines out Of the many shows
rather one-sided account Of what was
actually accomplished considering the
outlay. However, not to take too du-
bious view, the large sums that
went into properties were mostly ex-
perimental. OF course the plans were
thought to be practically what was
needed, but in many cases they prov
ed otherwise, which has not detract-
ed one iota from the value of the
mines. Too much money was wasted
in preliminarics. The mines certain
ly looked as though they might be
equal to any expenditure. 1t was that
which called a halt on further out
lay. The ore was there, plenty of it,
but the expense account was great
er than the value of the output of
ore.
These same properties are by no
means worked out. If there are any
such properties in this section few
there are who know it. OF course no
one desires to handle these. But there
are reports of so-called worked out
mines that have made better rec
ords upon resumption than in the
first stages of development. But that
is neither here nor there. The infor-
moro modern methods a great num-
Der of old producers could now be,
put in shape to satisfy any investor.
There are great values 70 be had from
Gilpin county ores. A satisfying con-
dition is the variety of mineral. In
the past most of the undertakings
were solely for the gold. And the har-
vest must have been great. With the
coming in Of the sulphides with the
attendant minerals, all or most of
ceased at a point where they could
have continued to realize wore mans
of treatment such as to meet the
change in the character of the ore.
While most sought for the gold. the
other values combined would equal
that which most desired. But many
gave up as soon as the mineral be-
came too complex for the more sim
pie treatment devised to save nero
ly the gold and perhaps a small per
cent of silver.
The lead, copper and zinc are now
quite factor in the income from
mine in this section. To begin now
and take over the old producers and
treat the ore for all the contents
should call out ready money for any
reasonable undertaking. To produce
that which is actually money in it.
self should cause any number of in
vestors to take hold now. What mat
ter IL others did no trealize expecta-
tions.. Devises are to be had and
more filling the conditions at pres
ent and nowhere are there better in
dications for reward than found in old
Gilpin. Having arrived in the up-to-
now class, as regards treatment, the
mines will do the rest.

To the numbered Chiuamen the presence of the missionary is q puzzle They simply cannot imagine human beings eXling themselves from their native land for the love of men on the other side ofithe globe. So they fra me sundry theories to explain the thing to themselves One theory is that the missionaries are secret political agents bent on gaining an influence over the Chinese and then swaying them to the advantage of their respective govern ments. Only of late have the natives come to realize that the strangers are not sent by their governments. but by religious groups According to anothet theory. China is so excellent and re- nowned that tbe red haired barbarians come to live there for the mere pleas ure of it. As fer their self denying works of benevolence. these are sup posed to be prompted by the desire to acquire merit.-Century.
