Ofall the curious pranks play

surpasses in oddity the effect OF
a thunderbo1t which struck near

While clearing machinery IN

mill of the Greer Manufacturing

caught IN the whirling belt. His
left arm was crushed and he re-
ceiyed painful injuries on his
face and scalp. Witnesses of the
accident rushed to stop the ma
chinery, but they would have
been too late to save Mr.. Heffner
from being crushed to death. At

st orm was raging, and the light

In the death of George s. Wilkie
our community loses one of its Oldest
and most estimable citizens. The
high esteem in which he was held and
his excellent standing were testified
to by the respect paid his memory on
the day of the funeral. There was a
general suspension of business aud
the business houses were closed from
two until four O'Clock on Thursday
afternoon while the impressive ser
vices were being held at the Elks
Club where the funeral was conducted.
There was large turn out to pay the
last tribute of respect to the memory
of the departed. Mr.. J. W. B. Smith
delivered brief but eloquent eulogy.
Mr.. Wilkie passed away Tuesday
morning, April "a, as result of an
acute attack of asthma. He had been
troubled with this disease for many
years but the termination was sudden.
During the past thirty five years he
had been a resident of Idaho Springs
aud has been closely identified with
its growth. He built the Wilkie mill
in the east end of the city and had
previously been engaged in the mill
ing business in Black Hawk. He was
interested in several mining proper
ties and leases, notably in the leases
in the Bellman and the Sun and Moon.
He was IN his fifty ninth year and
was born at Fergus, Ontario, Canada.
He is survived by wife, mother,
four sisters and four brothers. Ser
vices we're held at the home on Thurs
day morning In the presence Of the
family and were conducted by Rev.
Sherwood Flson of the Episcopal
church. His remains were inferred in
the Idaho Springs cemetery and we're
followed by large coucourse of sym
pathizing friends. The floral tributes
were many and beautiful and was an
other testimonial of his popularity.
Mr.. Wilkie was twice elected as q
member OF the city council. In his
political relat ons be was fair and
acted with the best motives. In his
business affairs he was just and cour-
teous. In his social associations he
was atf.ble and genial. His death
will leave a vacancy in this com
munity that will long be regretted.
To his bereaved widow and aged
mother, the hearts of the many friends
will go out in sincere sympathy.

Hope Springs Eternal

To the initiated it is hard to understand
more kindly to mining for the precious
metals. There is SO much to gain, and,
all things considered, greater returns
are to be had thar in any other calling.
To those who have tried it, there is a
sort of faclnation about it that is ire
sistible. The first thrill comes uron
finding an outcrop that may have only
stains of copper; probably lead may
show. If it is like that, as repeatedly
said, it is pretty good indication of
something of value beneath the surface
showing. One invariably finds treas
ure, so to speak, when he locates a good
mineral outcrop. Prospecting fol these
are not as formerly The field is mar
rowing owing to the settlement of the
country, bu: there must still be many
places where Indications may be found
that will lead to good returns. But
there is no real need of systematically
looking for these. There are so many
promising mining camps many now
almost abandoned where mineral
was first found as flat and the pros
pector traced it to its source to find
splendid outcroppings, all apparently in
place These camps may contain more
values than any mining district ever
opened up. That float, the mineralized
outcrop had a source in proximity to
I! the find. There is no way to determine
the quantity of ore that may be below
the surface except by delving for it..
1t may be at a shallow depth or far
down into the bowels of the eerth.
With the surface indications highly
mineralized, anovice at the business
of mining. might be helped immensely
were he to secure the opinion of a
competent mining geologist. Very often
his opinion can be taken as fact If
he can be trusted to tell the truth he is
likely to condemn as praise. His rep
utation is at stake when he renders his de
vision For him to state that nothing ca
| e gained by working the discover ry woulo
/ be confession Of considerable knowl
edge. But it is his business to know
and should give reason for his Judge
4 ment, one way or the other and this
would depend on what he knows by ex
perience. To say that all is well anc
the owner may hope for gam, he coulo
not consistently say it did, he not know
ing the outcome would result handsome
