OPERATIONS INCREASED AT GAP|N-OR|0N
Company is Now Sinking Both in the Shaft and
in the Tunnel Winze-@Good Ore is Being
Extracted From the Winze

"The richest treasures are buried
deepest" is an old axiom that has
been firmly impressed upon the mind
of the Gilpin-Orion company, Judging
from continued activity in sinking
the shaft. The shaft is down a little
over 200 feet and another contract
has been let to sink rs feet in ad-
dition to this. What this additional
depth will reveal is hard to contem-
plate as the improvement in the quail
ity Of the ore has been highly en-
couraging since live rock was struck.
In the last 25 feet sunk the crevice
has widened to two feet and shows
a highly mineralized condition. The
general formation in the shaft is sim
liar to that existing in the Carr mine,
an adjacent property, at the same
depth or a little lower According to
the Colorado Gazetteer, a book pub
lished in 1871, and containing very
accurate information of Gilpin coun-
ty mines at that time, the Carr is
reported to be partially develop
ed and the mill dirt running $450.00
to the cord" So it appears character
istic OF the mines in the vicinity of
the Gilpin-Orion to yield heavy val
ues under limited development and
1t is not unusual to find big bodies
of ore at $50 or 200 feet.
In the tunnel run in on the, Orion
ground short distance up from the
shaft, high grade ore was found a
followed in driving the tunnel dis
tance of los feet and in places was
stopped to surface. In this tunnel is
a winze in 95 feet from the portal.
Men are now working in the winze
and will sink it to connect with the
65-foot drift in the shaft. This will
afford good ventilation and easy
egress in case Of fire.
In sinking the winze. which ordin-
arily would he considered merely de

20 feet and the crevice exposed is
rom two to three feet in width. This
is principally milling, although a good
grade of smelling ore can be saved.
When the tunnel was worked some
years ago by lessees ore was taken
cut of this winze which run from
500 to 1866 to the ton.
The ore shoot in the winze con-
tinues downward as is evident from
the mineral formation in the breast
of the 65-foot drift. This drift will
have to be extended 20 feet further
to reach the ore shoot proper and
connect with the winEe.
With every foot of development the
showing in the Gilpin-O Orion indi-
Gates that the company has great
mine and the future of the PROPOSE
tion will bring about the full realiza-
tion of every prediction made by the
officers of the company. They were

KEEPING LIQUOR NOT UNLAW-
FUL
Circuit Court Reversed i'm Case
From Sumter.

Columbia, July l. - Special: Re
Versing the Circuit Court, the Su-
preme Court rendered an important
decision to-day in the liquor ques-
ton as to the storing of whiskey.
Lloyd Green was tried in Sumter
county, at the summer term, 1910,
before Judge Memminger, of Char
lesion, the Indictment alleging
that he did unlawfully accept, re-
ceiVe, store and keep in possess
ion alcoholic drinks, the indict-
ment being under the prohibition
statute OF 1903 Anna Henderson
S%uilty. The appeal was then taken.
f&een claimed that he kept the
n fuor for his own personal use.
o5The opinion to-day reads, in
.Sart: He requested the Court to
charge the jury that the term 'stor-
ing and keeping in possession us
ed in the statute, involves the
idea of continually or habit. The
Court charged that that was correct
under the old dispensary law,
when the State engaged in the sale
of liquors, and that it would be
correct as applied to the law in any
county in the State in which there
is dispensary, but that in a coun-
W WHICH mas no ulSpenSafy (Sucn
as Sumter, where the indictment is
laid,) the mere having in possess
ion of liquor, no matter for what
purpose, nor how small a quantity
it may be, is illegal.
Judge MemminSer Erred.
We think His Honor erred in
holding that the words store and
keep in possession have a differ
ent meaning and construction in
counties where the sale OF liquor is
prohibited, from that which they
have i'll counties where liquors are
lawfully sold through dispensaries.
We find no warrant in reason or
authority for such variable con-
struction. In Easley VS.. Pegg, 63
S. c., 102, it was held that the Of
fence of storing and keeping in
possession contrabrand liquors in
wolves the idea of continually or
habit. The same construction and
meaning must be given to the same
words, used in the Act of 1909, as
was given them in the Act of
1897.
The court also erred in charg-
ing that it was unlawful for one
to have liquor in his possession in
prohibition county, no matter
what quantity or for what purpose.

SAW FIGHT OF LIFE"
Remarkable Result of Experiment
Described by N-RnN ENDcrt

Described by N-Ray Expert.
Chicago, July Is. - The fight

cording to statement made to-day
by DR.. HaldrickS O'Donnell, an X
Ray expert, who has been following
up experiments made by DR.. w. }.
hilner, of London, England who
has written scientific paper on
the subject
Some time ago, using Il chemi-
Called film sealed between two thin
strips of glass, DR.. O'Donnell gave
a demonstration TO twenty students
of the electrical radiation of liv-
ing bodies, four young women being
used as subjects. The'aura' devel-
rounding the entire form of the
subject.
Last night, said DR.. O'Donnell,
clans at Mercy Hospital l tried the
experiment on a dying man. He
was rapidly sinking. Suddenly the
attending physician announced that
the man was dead The aura be-
gan to spread from the body and
presently disappeared. Further OBJ
servation of the corpse revealed no
sign of the aura We do not claim
that the light is the soul or spirit.
In fact, no one seems to know what
it is. In my opinion, however, it is
some sort of radio-activity made
visible by the chemical screen. Ny
eXpe riments, however, seem to prove
thaC it is the animating power or
current Of life of human beings"

voyage occupied three years and was
one of the most successful from a scien-
