\ Forty men and boys out at
Westminster celebrated labor
day yesterday by breaking
ground" for the new University
Presbyterian church at that place.
But they didn't stop at breaking
ground" They worked like Tro-
jams all day, completed the exca-
walton and built the concrete
foundation for the new chapel.
The workmen assembled early
in the morning and organized
themselves into rival construction
gangs, each with a chosen leader.
There was no ceremony about
raising the first shovelful of earth,
but about twenty workmen
showed their spades simultan-
eously into the earth and made
the dirt fly until they had COM
pleted the excavation. In the
meantime about the same num-
ber of workmen were hauling
gravel, building forms, mixing
concrete and placing the founda-
tion in place.
At noon the leaders of the rival
gangs declared a truce, and a din
ner, prepared by the women of
the congregation while the men
were developing appetites, was
served. The workmen then re-
turned to their task and labored
until the last load of concrete had
been turned into foundation.
Byron Howard is in the Long
mont hospital with a broken leg,
several broken ribs and other in
jury; S. T. Bosnian is badly
bruised about the chest, and three
others are suffering from minor
injuries, as the result Of an auto
accident which occurred Sunday
at Westminster. M. Seaman,
N. Richard, Byron Howard, S. T.
Bosnian and one or two others
rented an automobile belonging
to Henry Spurgeon to make a
trip to Denver. At Westminster
a tire blew up, causing the car
to turn completely over, throw
ing the occupants out.

tory was made this week, when
Twyman Kisinger, on the Little
Beaver, eight miles from Meeker,
threshed 25O acres Of fall wheat,
averaging forty bushels to the
acre, or LOCO bushels more than
he had expected from the crop.
This is the largest yield Of
wheat from a large body of dry
land yet recorded, not only from
the state, but the nation.
Records of the police depart
ment show that not a single ar

Arkansas valley to George H. Paul
of Washington, Ia, for $500, 600.
The tract is three miles west of
Pueblo and includes the Tellerres-

George H. Paul of Washington,
Iowa, who purchased the holdings
of the Teller Land and Reservoir

the score, but could only show a
total of 8 at the end of the game.
The reason given by the local

fact that after the fourth inning
they were shy a slab artist and
had to call in their shortstop and
first baseman to fill the box.

continental automobile tour ever
made in this country. the schedule
as announced this week showing that
the cars will reach here October 3lst

Syracuse, Kan. and will leave the
next morning for Trinidad.
While other tours have gone from

either private parties or factory en-
terprises. But when the caravan
Garford cars rolls into this city on
the Trail to sunset" it will mark
the progress of the only public tour
oil such length that has ever been
attempted and from the standpoint of
a commercial enterprise alone 1t will
be of deep significance.
AT least ten machines will be
used. eight of them being Garford
seven-passenger cars of this years
model such as are being distributed
by the Willys-Garford Company. and
two Garford trucks will be used to
carry the baggage. These cars We're
boueht by the Raymond Il Whitcomb
Company who used them In connec.
ton with their New England tours
last summer and who are conducting
the roastto-coast venture.
The route has been laid out by \.

tourist and pathfinder is national and
the tour has the cooperation of the
American Automobile ASS lciation.
Mr. Westgard. who has already made
the transcontinental trip twice. will
act as pilot of the tour. He will
be accompanied by Mrs. Westgard

Wild Man at Florence

Boot Lake country, eight or ten luiIes
west OF this city. But scant attention

CRYSTAL FALLS MINES ARE DOING
WELL CONSIDERING THE sEAsoN
LOCAL MEN HAVE a FIND
Exploration at East End Of superior
Avenue Bridge is Very Promising
Drill Work Active

Ii looks now AS II Crystal Falls mines
will have respectable output to their
credit Notwithstanding the very dull
season. The shipping of stockpile ore
has been started up again and is being
continued at gratifying rate. The
piles that are moving the best are those
at the Mansfield and the Dunn mines.
especially the latter mine for the shovel
has been digging into il all week and
II looks as IL the work will be contin-
ued until most OF the ore is sent out.
The Dnnn mine had very large pile
OF ore in stock, 40 much in fact, that
IL was very serious question il work
could be continued there as all avail
able stocking ground was taken up.
Early in the year ID was announced
that the pile would go but after about
three-fourths OF the low grade pile was
shipped the shovel was removed and
reports were that it was very uncer-
tain II any more OF the stocked ore
would go forward Two weeks ago
word wac received TO ship go. 900 tons
of the high grade ore and last week
another large order was received. The
management hopes TO get the entire
pile away but at any rate such large
quantity will be removed that there
will be plenty OF room for the winters
stocking.
The Mansfield mine pile is also going
forward at a rapid rate. This property
didn't ship its mine output until about
the midole of August when shipments
were commenced from the pocket.
Then came orders for stockpie loading
and the ore has been going forward at
a rapid rate since that time.
The shovel has been at work most OF
the week at the Mansfield ard it Is ex.
pected that the greater portion of the
big pile will go forward which will
give the property very fair output
for the wear.
The Hemlock mine has shipped some
Of its pile and IL is expected that an
other large slice of Ii will go forward
before the end OF the season.
The Bristol hasn . shipped any pf its
pile for some time and but very
small portion of.the Armenia has gone
The Bristol has considerable
development work TO do before the new
shaft is put into commission The
mas been grading additional
stocking ground during the past month

mines will go through the winter with
about the force that is employed at
present.
