Delagrange, and a large power slOop owned by w. A. stanton were brought into service and made trips to and from the Hill dur ing Tuesday evening. The steamer Watch Hill was taken to West Mys- tic Wednesday for repairs. The ex- tremely low tide was the cause of the accident to the Watch Hill.

There were two pigs in separate crates, and weighing about 15 pounds each. One got loose and ran around the deck, making fun for the passengers. With Captain Babcock's dog the pig made things lively for women on board. Fi- nally the pig leaped from the steamer overheard near Nat's Point shipyard. He was captured soon after his swim by August Muller and Harry North- rup. who put out in a .dory The pig was tired out and was soon captured and re-crated and sent to his destina- tion

Map of Colorado" this being folded

er authorities and Prof. Lakes own
intimate knowledge Of the igneous
areas of the state. Probably no man
in Colorado is more familiar with its
geology than Prof. Lakes. since he
has been a citizen of the state for
a quarter Of a century. and during
that time has devoted himself. almost
without interruption, to field activity
in behalf Of his chosen science. The
booklet is entitled prospecting in
Colorado" 1t is a first rate guide to
the prospector who may be actuated
by the recent grubstake movement in
Denver. to spend the present season
in the most promising undeveloped
mineral sections of the Centennial
state. The price Of this book Is one

After the ball game, after dinner
the minor events were held on the
main avenue. After these events the
crowds again went to the park to wit
ness the foot races and broncho
busting. The races caused a little
trouble again between the Central
runners and the Golden and Arvada
racers. But this dissatisfaction can
be traced to the trouble at the ball
game, as the home boys had not yet
got that displeasing taste out OF
their mouths. After the races, the
bronchos were the next victims. The
event was treat, but we have bur-
ros here that could fade any horse
ridden when it comes to real bucking.
Nevertheless 1t was treat for most

with grand ball In the opera house

the days doings best Of all. Again
the good-fellowship Of Golden and
Central was in evidence as there is
not one of the Centralites who attend
ed the dance who cannot say that
they had one of the best times OF
their lives.
All in all the celebration was a
grand success. Now forget the deal

"M|NES' VICTORIOUS

The game Sunday afternoon be-
tween the Gilpin Mines and the Colo
malls Of Denver, resulted in a victory
for the home boys by the score
to 5. The game was called in the 8th
inning to allow the visitors to catch
the train. The game was a fast one,
considering the muddy condition Of
the grounds. The rains Of Saturday
night put the ground in such condi.
tion that good base ball was impos.
sible. The game itself was played In
drizzling rain.

Miners and it looked for a while as
though the visitors were doomed for

nesses at the inquest stated that he
had seen Mr.. Carter go from the track
out into the woods, near the spot
where he was killed, between and
8 o'clock the same morning.
