An Early start

Keokuk started the scoring in the
first when after Baumann had gone
out, Madigan walked and was adj
vancsd On Drohan's balk and scored
on Brasnahan's single to left.
Kewanee, in the second came back
and after Robertson was safe when
Madigan dropped his fly and Fogg had
walked, j Drohan scored tho first
sacker with a single to right. Fogg
tried to score on the play and was
thrown out, Moore TO Queisser. Dro-
han tried to steal and was caught by
ten feet by the throw of Queisser
In the second and third the Indians
secured two more with four hits, a
sacrifice and an error and IN the fifth
four more were added to the string.
Baumann. the first man up singled
through Hubbart. Madigan was safe
On an attempted sacrifice that was too
slow for Drohan to handle, Bresnahan
was out at first on his gronnder to

Many people braved the clouds OF
dust at. Hubinger park yesterday af-
ternoon to see the Indians wallop the
Boilermakers led, for minute, by ex-
Indian, George Pennington.
The dust that blew directly into the
faces of the spectators spoiled what
was otherwise a good ball game. At
times the dust was SO heavy that
time had to be called by Jumps Spen-
Ger in order to wait until the players
could see across the diamond.
The feature of the game was the
heavy hitting of Jimmy Drohan who.
out of four trips to the pan, landed
safely three times. Another was the
work of Umpire Spencer. In places he
seemed almost human, but would in
variably fall back into the old nut. In
the first inning he chased the boss
of the Boilermakers from the park for
questioning his decision on calling a
balk On Drohan. Penny left the field
amid jeers from the crowd at Spen.
GER
The switch In the Indian lineup
worked very well and will probably be
kept as it is. Bresnahan was brought
in to cover second and Kaphan, the
new man, takes Comics place in the
right garden. Bresnahan's wori
around second was good with the ex
ception of one bobble.

Today's Game Postponed.

Vi ~ w LII
todays game postponed, interest in the
baseball strike centered today in the
conference between President Johnson
and President Navin of the Detroit
club, and upon the outcome Of this
conference depends to some extent the
future of organized baseball in this
country.
Navin was expected Yesterday
afternoon, but he did not appear and
it was explained that ne remained in
Detroit as the result of having re-
ceived a misleading message from
Philadelphia. He was due here at
$50 a. M, today but his train was
late and it was considered likely that
it would be noon before any definite
action could be accomplished.
President Johnson was firm in his
stand early today and repeated his
contention that the entire Detroit
team stands now suspended as the re
suit of having refused to play on Sat
urday.
The players, led by Delehanty, de
clared they were becoming indifferent
as to the result. They asserted that
they could make a living at baseball

OLD TOWN REPORTS STRIKE.

In crosscutting into the hanging
wall. fourth level of the Old Town
mine, six to eight inches of solid
smelling ore of good grade was op-
ened early this week. This is an en-
tirely new streak and enlarges mater
tally the reserves in sight in the mine.
The new ore body will be opened and
Thoroughly exploited and mined.
The management reports a steady
output from the upper levels and sat
isfactory returns. Operation of the
Hot Time tunnel workings. where
large body of low-grade mill ore is
opened, awaits satisfactory reduction
facilities. The new Argo mill may
furnish the solution. "If the method
and the price are satisfactory" said
Manager K.mball, II will furnish the
product"
But even If this low-grade zone Of
the mine be not mined, the Old
Towns upper levels will furnish regu-
lar revenues for years to come. and
the company can take care of its
lower grades when the time arrives.

NEW PROCESS FOR
TREATING ORES.

J. NJ. McClave, mining engineer,
has interested group of Texas
capitalists in the erection of a $780,
600 concentrating mill in Denver.
says The Denver Post. Work will
be started on the plant at once, with
view to having the place in ope-
ration early next year.
The mill is to be located in South
Denver, near the Alameda subway,
where easy connection can be made
with both the Rio Grande and the
Colorado & Southern tracks. 1t will
be a large concrete structure, equip
ped with all the latest appliances for
handling ore. Zinc, lead and copper
will be the minerals treated. The
designers plan upon a very large ton
mage for the plant.
w. S. Meyers of Dallas, Texas, is
the chief figure in the company in
terested in the scheme. He has not
yet announced the names of the men
associated with him. They are vir-
'''Aiy GIL iSAaS iiSli, WI. hCNiaNt
being the only Denver man interes-
ted to any extent.
Mr.. Meyers says that the erection
Of the new mill is certain, as every
dollar of the necessary capital has
been raised. The land has been pur-
chased and the plan drawn for the
MILL The company is to be known
as the Sutton-Steele Manufacturing
Milling and Mining company.
The new Sutton-Steele process of
treating ores will be used. This is
a dry treatment that is said to have
proved very successful. Its users
assert that it permits very economi
cal treatment of low-grade ores. Man
mines in Colorado, now closed be-
cause their ores are OF too low a
grade to make work profitable, may
be operated If the claims of the
Sutton-Steele process owners are rea
Hzed.
Plans already have been drawn for
two other plants in Colorado for the
use OF the Sutton-Steele process
If the Denver plant Is the success
that its promoters expect, these
plants will be promptly erected.

CAUSE FOR THANKSGIVING.

Final returns having been re-
ceived from each of the six counties
in sthe First Judicial district the re-
suits present an interesting analysis.
Judge Glass Of Brighton and Judge
Mccall of Jefferson were opposing
each other, and each claimed to be
running on the record made by him
as Judge
Judge Glass received 10,021; Nc
Call 5,l13, a majority for Class of
4908, or nearly as much as Mccall re-
ceived votes. Judge Class carried
hie own county of Adams by 1913,
while Judge Mccall lost jefferson
county, his home, to Glass by 1898,
or SO more than Mccall received
there.
Glass carried the four Golden pre-
cincts by 169 over Mccall in his
home town, while he carried McCall's
own precinct by So. On the other
hand, Glass carried Brighton 491 to
SO, or nearly 400 majority. Class
carried 67 out of the 70 precincts in
Jefferson county, Glass lost only
three small ones. In Arapahoe coun-
ty, Class carried all but two out of
10, Mccall carrying the precincts in
which are located the Petersburg
road houses and FIT. Logan saloons.
These same counties two years
ago went Republican for lieutenant
governor by 72 majority. This year
in Jefferson county all but three
county officers elected are Republi-
cans; in Grand county, four Republi-
cans We're elected; in Gilpin three
Republicans elected; in Arapahoe
Republicans elected; in Adams Re-
publicans elected; in Clear Creek 4
Republicans elected, so it will readi-
ly be seen that the overwhelming
election of Judge Class by nearly
5000 over Mccall was not due to
any landslide. The people knew ex-
actly what they wanted to do-and
they did it.
The vote was as follows.

of District Judge with the good
wishes of practically all the people of
the First Judicial district. We pre-
dict continuance of the splendid
record made by him at home and
congratulate the people Of the district
on their choice. No man could re-
ceive higher compliment than the
vote given Judge Class by the people
here at home, who know him. He
has always been successful.

LET'S BUILD
MOFFAT TUNNEL
NO ACTUAL GOOD WILL RESULT
FROM THE VAPoRING OF THE
HoT-AIR ARTISTS IN DENVER
AFTER-DINNER TALKS WON'T
PENETRATE RANGE - ACTION
is NEEDED.

The defeat of the Moffat tunnel
bill at the last election has aroused
great interest in many quarters as to
what was the true purpose of the bill.
Since election We have met many
people who state that if they had
the opportunity to vote on same again
they would vote for the measure in
stead of against it. These people
failed to get clear understanding
of the proposed measure, there be-
ing so many other bills to vote up
on, that being in doubt, they voted
no, SO as to be on the safe side.
| Various commercial Organizations
in Denver, to be in the spotlight,
have taken the matter UP, proposing
that the city of Denver bond itself
by virtue of the twentieth amendment
to the state constitution, that permits
of city contracting a debt to In
crease its domestic water supply.
This would mean the diverting of wa
ter from the western water shed to
supply the city of Denver This Is a
chimerical proposition to say the
least, and worthy of the hot-air ar
fists Of Denver who for the past de-
cade have exploited any and all pro-
positions that were detrimental to
the fundamental foundation Of the
states prosperity, viz, mining.
When the bunch of hot-air mer-
chants in Denver have dined and
wined Mr.. Erb to their hearts con-
tent and he has listened to all their
hot-air proposals, we suggest that he,
Mr.. Erb, come to Gilpin county, talk
the matter over with our business
men, and possibly with the aid Of
Grand county arrive at a solution Of
the matter that will be of mutual be-
nefit to all. We are satisfied that
the two counties named, with the
cooperation of the interests, said to
be at the back of Mr.. Erb, can build
the tunnel without impairing the cred
it of our county, but rather will en-
hance the total amount of taxable
property in our midst.
The building of the tunnel will en-
hance the value of property in the
northern end of the county ten fold,
place us on transcontinental line
and give us a direct outlet to the
smelters of Utah or the Pacific coast.
In fact, the product of the mines tri-
butary to the Moffat road can be
shipped direct to the western smelters
without having to pay toll to Denver.
We state this in all seriousness,
and if met but one-quarter way, We
are prepared to go into detail, show
ing how all this can be accomplished
on straight business proposition.
The citizens of Gilpin county are
miners, they know what this propo-
sition means, they one and all are
willing to take this matter up on a
sound business basis, giving the ne
cessary security for the fulfillment
of the project. 1t behooves Mr.. Erb
to look into this. Let's get together
and the tunnel will be built in rec
ord time without the laid" and rake
off of spotlight Denver after dinner
speakers.

them, working back and forth until
the holes are filled in evenly and
