ing to be held Wednesday, Septem.
ber 9th, at 1880 p. m. It was called
at the request of the Home Mission
committee OF Presbytery pursuant to
the new policy being inaugurated In
all Home Mission churches drawing
aid from the board. Revs. Powell and
Stone will be present. The call also
includes any business which may re-
Quire attention but the occasion 10
mainly intended to be social and to
consider ways and means Of provid.
ing a remedy for losses by removal
and otherwise. Light resreshmenta
free to all. Members, and supporters
are invited and urged to be present.
The pastor and family take this
informal way OF thanking Central
City parishioners and friends who SO
kindly and thoughtfully assisted or
would have assisted at the laying
away of our dear one, whose home
going at Georgetown with the atten-
dant circumstances causing her bur.
ial there. rather than at Central City,
was accidental but also providential
In revealing SO many kind hearts In
both localities. Also may It not be
said that. aside from the mercy OF
her peaceful passing. the influence
Of her sacrifice. not to say ours,haa
crowned her life with glory and
left behind her benedicticn worth
all It cost. The pain OF parting Ii
none the less but we have been made
to feel that the grief is shared by
n larger circle than we had dreamed.

THE NEXT rREAsuRERs

Half dozen applications have been
filed with the county commissioners
by those desirous of filling the un-
expired term in the treasurer's Of
flee. More applications are being re-
ceived and doubtless by the time the
board gets around to considering the
numerous aspirants the list will have
increased to at least dozen. Des-
pite the fact that the majority Of
the board are Democrats, two or
three Republicans are seeking the
office. Just why these individuals Of
the opposite political faith should ever
court consideration from board
made up largely Of Democrats is a
problem beyond the bounds Of solu-
tion. But then Republicans, even
though they may possess little OF
anything else, have a surplus Of gall.
The commissioners have been in
session all this week, auditing the
treasurer's books. AS yet they
have not had time to give the ap-
pointment Of a treasurer considera-
tion. 1t is likely that they will not
be able to agree upon anyone until
Saturday.
Among the applicants are several
deserving Democrats and men well
qualified to fill the office. Govern
ed by their customary good judg-
ment 1t is safe to predict that the
commissioners will make a selection
that will meet with the general ap-
proval Of the citizens of the cuonty.

MICHIGAN PROPERTY STARTS.

! Arthur Most. general manager Of
the Michigan mine, is putting up .
shaft building and plant of machin-
cry on the Michigan and Ora May
property in Hughesville. AS soon as
these Improvements are completed
the Michigan shaft will be sunk from
its present depth Of 4S feet to 100
feet. The shaft Is in pay ore in guam
titles sufficient to offest the cost of
sinking.
There is a 12-inch streak in the
shaft. The ore is Of the silver var
iety and quantities Of the white met
al are found in the native state. The
Michigan vein is an extension Of the
Hard Money, which has been paying
we'll for the limited work carried on.

ENLlGHTENMENTs.

1t seems incredible that a known
ore body in a mine should lie dor
mant for the lack Of means or want
of ambition upon the part of some
one to take it out. Maybe many do
recognize the importance of existing
ore bodies, but they are impotent to
do anything, and the many with Just
enough of this worlds goods are
averse to venturing in hopes of fur
ther gain. Knowing the desire OF all
to acquire riches, they are unmistak-
ably Offered many opportunities
through working a mining property.
There are many mining towns in
Colorado. They exist, principally, be-
cause Of the mines surrounding. In
these many properties that must hold
a fortune for any one caring to take
them over. The owners may have
made tho attempt to gain affluence
through the working of same. Posi-
bly, things did not turn out as hop
edd. There are so many. 1t is hard
to place the blame fer their failure.
But 1t is a fact that where attempt
had been made, resulting in nothing
but debt, the next one to take up
the work where the other dropped 1t,
has resulted in much profit. Evidence
is not wanting to prove this and
right here in Gilpin county. Nearly
all the good mines now doing we'll
this district are old-time properties
Many not having been operated for
years. Yet, along comes some one
with faith, who takes up the work
where it was discontinued. These in
variably prove better than ever.
AS said, all desire wealth. 1t car
be procured quicker through working
gold mine. Then there are SO many
properties that are enticingly prom
inent la their displays Of worth. Not
withstanding this, many developed
mines lie idle. 1t Is a paradox, tc
say the least Of the condition. Blu,
maybe many co not view the situa
ton in the same light as the min
ing enthusiast. 1t Is experimental
but then the least. though not inter
ested In mining always has the crav
ing for better circumstances and ht
cannot be satisfied with his dali!
role Of a hand.to-mouth existence. HI
fails to recognize the importance o
mining as a means to an end. HI
Is not apathetic, only he has lacl
Of opportunity; or. rather. the op
portunity has not been revealed t
him. A mining paper does not appea
to him. In that case. he Is withou
the pale and hardly deserves enlight
oning. The man constantly on tn
lookout for opportunities may gras
them by being informed OF minin
conditions ana what mny be gaine
by working one.

c. z. WILEY Dies.

=. e. whey, county treasurer, II
nally succumbed to the complication
Of diseases which had undermined hif
health and caused him constant suf-
fering, Sunday morning at S:45
O'Clock. Mr.. Wiley's condition had
been critical the past two or three
weeks and death was expected at any
moment. Diabetes and Bright's d.
sease was pronounced by physicians
as being the direct cause OF death.
This complication was brought on by
severe attack Of the grippe, which
Mr.. Wiley experienced in the spring
of last year. He treated with the
most skilled specialists in kidney
and bladder diseases, but grew grad
ually worse, only occasionally show
ing slight improvement. His system
became impregnated with the poison
the disease engendered and an
abcess formed In the ear. An opera
ton was necessary to relieve the
suffering this abcess caused and un-
doubtedly hastened death.
Services were held over the re-
mains in the Masonic hall Monday
afternoon. The large hall was crowd
ed with sorrowing friends Of the de-
ceased who came from all parts OF
the county to pay their last respects
to the departed. Judge w. c. Matt
hews delivered the eulogy. Tuesday
morning the body was taken to Den
yer where Masonic burial was con-
ferred by Schiller lodge, No. Al. The
remaine were laid to rest in Fair
mont cemetery. A large number OF
friends from Gilpin county attended
the funeral.
C. E. Wiley was born and raised
in Central City. He lacked but few
days of being 43 years Of age. Being
Industrious and energetic from early
manhood he took and held a prom
inent position in the commercial and
public affairs of the community. A
few years ago he was postal clerk
in the railway service, running be-
tween Denver and Ogden. He aban-
doned this vocation and returned to
Central, entering the employ Of the
Hawley Mdse. Co., in the capacity
Of bookkeeper. This position he held
ten years. When the death of Chris
topher Trezise occasioned a vacancy
in the office of county treasurer, he
was the unanimous choice Of the
Democratic party for the appoint
ment. He was elected county treas
urer in 1908 and again in 1910. Upon
assuming the duties of county treas
urer he inaugurated one OF the most
thorough and exacting systems for
the conduct OF the office an official
could adopt. A more competent man
for this particular position could
not be found. He gave general sat.
isfaction and his administration was
a credit to himself and party.
Mr.. Wiley was popular socially, po
litically and fraternally. Besides the
Masons, he was a member Of the
Woodmen, Workmen and Yoemen
He was banker Of the Woodmer
and at times had held various Of
fices in all the orders with which
he was affiliated. He was secretary
o. school district No. l and held this
office two terms or more. He wa!
an energetic worker In any movemen
with which he was connected ant

Rev. and Mrs. George Bergen, died
at the Georgetown sanatarium, Sept
ember 18th. 1911, as the immediate
result of uraemic commissions caused
by chronic Bright's disease.
The funeral service held Wednes-
day in the Georgetown Presbyterian
church. was attended by a large aud
ience consisting Of sympathizing
friends from all denominations. 1t
was conducted by the bereaved faith
er's classmate, Rev. R T. Bell, D. d.
Of Idaho Springs. assisted by the To-
cal ministers, Revs. Fisin and Young
pastors respectively of the Episco-
pal and Methodist churches. Mrs. G..
w. Hall, Mrs. Bergen's sister. Of
Sheridan, Wyo., arrived in time for
the services. Both the relationship
mothering Anna during her long and
only partial convalesence from diph-
iberia, bound them very closely to-
gether. The same Is true OF others
were drawn to Anna and did all in
their power to mitigate. II not heal
the disease dating back really to the
diphtheria OF seven years ago.
George Bergen, Jr., who Is now the
only surviving child Of the first mar
fiage, was with his sister the last
week proceeding the end and was also
at the funeral. He was a great COM
to him during her life time. 1t was
like the parting OF twins at the age
when life seemed to have everything
worth while. Both were in demand
for all sorts Of youthful affairs in
church. society, school and even bus
mess and always together, till the
last few months when her manifest
ly broken down constitution demand
ed her whole attention.

Of a mother. Whatever the suffering
Anna was happy and resigned with
her as with no one else. though the
others were all good and did al
they could. Hence no one felt the
shock Of parting as did Mrs. Berger
as much as any mother. From in
fancy Anna was her fathers conf
dent. especially in religious matters
and training largely inherited from
the mother gone before. Except tht
seven years interval Of widowerhood
Anna shared the hardships and. be

church work as she was in schoo

removal to Central. she divided he
time between Central and Rawlins

6 months old at death.
"She chose that good part whicl

MINING EPlroME.

The Fourth of July mine on Quarts
hill is making regular shipments Of
milling ores. The saving on the plates
averages 3 ounces gold. In breaking
the milling grade. considerable smeft-
ing iron Of high grade is saved. The
45O-foot level is being driven further
ahead with satisfactory results.
An interest in the Silver Dollar
mine has been acquired by r. H.
Holton, of Miami. Okla. This noted
property will at once be started up
and as there are large reserves Of
ore in sight, shipments can be made
at once. Mr.. Holton is vice president
and treasurer Of the o. K. and NJ. I.
Railway company Of Oklahoma.
The Messrs. Browne and Miller
have arranged for tho re4cpenfng oe
the German mine on Quartz htll.
Uranium ores are the chief product
Of this mine. Mr.. H. C. Browne will
remain several weeks to look after
the work. Improved machinery will
be installed and the shaft sunk to
further depth, the present depth
being 400 feet. with levels run at
the 130-foot and the 250-foot point
east and west. and at the 400-foot
level west. Increased demand for
uranium ores is the main reason for
the re-starting Of this we'll known
property.
