The Horse to Drive.

1t is a pure waste Of time to at
tempt to make trotting horse out OF
a Clydesdale. We never saw Clydes-
dale in our life that could wiggle
around half-mile track in less than
II minutes, yet some get to town and
back the same day with team OF
Clydesdale weighing 1000 pounds
The Clydesdale is not a society IA
vorite, and never will be. He has
the same relation to the speed ring
as debated wheelbarrow, but when
it comes to jerking a spreader over
plowed ground, he Is there 81 ways

East Of the Missouri river in South
Dakota more than 1000 artesian wells
now exist. drawing their water from
the supply carried by the underlying
sandstone formation, and supposed to
come from the Black hills and the
Rocky mountains. These wells, used
mainly for irrigation purposes, are
from 500 TO 1000 feet deep, and the
pressure of water in the eastern part
of the state is sufficient to give sur
face flow, except on the highest lands
One well yields 1922 gallons a min
ute and furnishes power for a flour
mill by day and for an electric light
plant by night. The development oi
this source of water supply is still go

CHANGE IN THE ADLER.

John T. Smith on the first of the
month takes over the Adler hoteI
from F. E. Peterson, who has con
Quoted the hostelry for nearly sia
years. The hotel under Mr.. Smiths
direction will be conducted strictly
on the American plan. Mr.. Smith
last week returned from nine
months stay in Arkansas. Ill health

tains where he had lived nine years.
During this period of time he was
express messenger on the C. & s.
railway for the Wells-Fargo company.
Mr.. Smith has wide acquaintance
among the travelling public and the
people Of Gilpin county. The Adler

in a manner that will make the sue
cess of the establishment an abso-
lutte certainty. Mrs. Peterson will re-
main with the hotel and assist Mr..
Smith in the management.
Mr.. Peterson, through poor health,
Is required to go to Thermopolis,
Wyo. He has been troubled for
months with rheumatism in an ag-
gravated form and thinks the health

SUES TO HAVE SPOUSE
FOUND LEGALLY DEAD,

Declaring that her husband, James
Holck. is legally dead because he
disappeared more than eight years
ago from Central City, Mrs. Norah
D. Holck of Denver has brought suit
in the district court against the New
York Insurance company for $685.
O6, the amount due on a policy TAX
en- out on her husbands life many
years ago.
Mrs. Holck, in her complaint, al
leges that she has not seen Holck
since Feb. %, 1902, although he was
seen in Denver April 15, 1902, and
he sent Christmas present to their
infant child in December of that
year from some point unknown to
her.
Since that time, Mrs. Holck states,
she has received no word from him,
either directly or indirectly, nor has
she been able to locate him or dis
cover any person who has seen him
since April, 1902.
Advertisements placed in news
papers In the Middle West, the
Eastern states and on the Pacific
| coast have remained unanswered,
she declares. AS a result she is con-
vinced that Holck is dead, and she
asks that the court so declare under
the statutes provided in such cases.
The plaintiff alleges that the pol
icy was taken out originally for ST.
900 and that, with accrued interest,
it now amounts to $3,3s9.60, less
1924 she obtained from the company
as loan, and that the money has
been due since the expiration of the
legal eight years since her husbands
disappearance. wherefore she asks
judgment for that amount, together
with interest since Dec. 10, 1909.
Demand for the money was made
by the plaintiff April 10, 1911. togeth
er with proofs Of the disappearance
Of the plaintiffs husband, but pay
ment was refused, declares the com
plainant.
At the time he disappeared, Holch
was we'll known in Central City, hav
ing mining interests Of value. and hi:
sudden dropping from sight of hi:
friends caused much comment ant
discussion. 1t was the opinion o.
many that he had met with foul play
or had become temporarily deranget
and wandered away and was lost OF

RAILS IN GOOD ORE
OPENING UP IRON SIMILAR TO.
THAT IN THE EeYPTIAN-sIo
VEINS EXPOSED.

A good-sized force of miners is now
at work on the Rails County mine,
additional men having been put on
since the arrival Of Mr.. Gage.
Thirty tons of ore were hoisted and
shipped during the past week from
the 300 and 50O-foot levels in clean
ing out these workings. This stuff
was sent to the Horn mill at Black
Hawk. 1t run fairly well considering
that it was cleanup and the waste
rock was not taken out.
In the 300 there is a crevice 21k
feet wide Of solid copper iron. This
streak is 80 feet from the shaft and
extends back the entire length Of
the level. The ore was encountered
in stope 20 feet up from the level.
Judging from the rapidity with which
it is widening the crevice will ex-
pand to five feet in width.
The 500 has been cleaned out only
part way but a crevice 2h feet is
ell which is in 200 feet.
In the 100 level east, just started,
the showing is beyond the most san
guine expectations of the company.
The character of the ore inl the vein
being drifted on is identically the
same as that in the Egyptian, an ad-
joining property that has been a
wealth producer for years. The Egypt.
ian ore runs around $500, 10000
and above to the ton. This ore in
the Rails is found in we'll defined
veins on both sides Of the shaft at
the 700-foot point and it is the in
tention OF the Rails company to start
a drift west this week. The extern
sion Of drifts east and west Of the
shaft will open up any amount Of
virgin ground.
By the first of June the mine will
be in a position to maintain steady
shipments and the way will be op-
ened to make the Rails County a pro.
ducer second to none in the rich lo-
cality Of Quartz hill.
