THE SITUATION
MUCH IMPROVED

1t would not surprise many in this
section were a veritable stampede
to occur in this direction. Much has
been said of late of the district to
the north. 1t is part OF the Gllpln-
Clear Creek belt and as old as any
section in the county, in so far as
a knowledge of its mines is coEcern-
ed. But it is claimed that it has not
received the attention 1t merits.
However,it is becoming better known
to mining men through the favorable
notice given it by all concerned. 1t
is not likely-but one cannot always
tell-that anything new will be To-
Gated. If success comes it will be
through what has already been dis
covered, which is sufficient to indi-
cate the possibilities of the dis
trict.
One large producer with a good
grade of ore would place the sec
tion on a permanent footing. There
are several properties near this con-
dition and as they are in competent
hands, will soon be classed as large
producers. Not great deal OF WORK
has been accomplished. A number are
still in the upper formation, the OK
ide, and are producing free milling
ore.
The district would be greatly en-
couraged were transportation facil-
tiles more to their liking. road
ought to run through there and ii
will as soon as a good tonnage Is as
sured any line entering the feld
Many old-time miners can recall the
circumstance of the rich ore coming
from there ard treated at the mills
below town on the creek. The prop
critics producing the remarkably higf
class of ore are still there and mere
" need development to place then
in the producing stage as hereto
fore.
Central City would be only too gla'
to chronicle the return OF the dis
trict to past conditions or better
Many have been going there, ant
the Chamber of Commerce has call
ed the public's attention to the sec
ton in question with the result tina
it is now more active than for years
past. Continued notice through oc
casional strikes would lend inspira
ton to many, who only desire III
tie encouragement to prompt then
to visit the place with view t.
taking hold and aid in the pFoduc
ton of much mineral.
One need not be confined to, tn
single idea of success for the sec
tion under discussion. There ar
other fields in the county whici
show equal promise. In fact the Gil
pin county gold fields may Prov
better than can be uncovered else
where. 1t is already so well know
the mere circumstances should draw
others who would be more likely t.
succeed than elsewhere.

Quarrel with Disastrous Results.
Emmet Burk, living about 8 miles
west of this city was shot and danger
ously wounded by Norv. Henson at
the home of Matt Henson, near Vir-
ginia, late Thursday evening.
The shooting was the result of
controversy over steer which it is
alleged Henson accused Burk of steal
ing sometime last summer. Learning
that Henson had accused him, Burk
stated, that he went to the Henson
place for the purpose of seeing Hem
son about the matter, and that words
led to fight in which he was shot.
Henson's version of the case is that
Burk came to the house and after
provoking quarrel attempted to use
a knife and that he shotin self defense.
Burk was taken to his home after
the shooting and a physician was
summoned from this city. The shoot
ing was done with 80 calibre re-
volver, the ball striking Burk in the
side of the neck and ranging down.
ward. While death seemed highly
probable at first, late reports from the
wounded man indicate that there is a
chance for recovery.
Immediately after the shooting,
Henson came to this city and gave
himself up to the sheriff who placed
him in jail. He was arraigned before
Judge B. F. Jeter Friday morning
and his preliminary hearing was set
for Thursday April 20. Bond was
