THE ELks' REUNION.

Neither snow, rain, sleet or cold
could head off the Central City Elks
their wives, sisters and 'honeys, from
attending the last day of the Elks'
State Reunion at Idaho Springs Sat
urday. A special train had been chart.
cred by the local lodge and the peo-
pie Of the county invited to make the
trip, but owing to the weather, less
than half Of the expected crowd, felt
like making such a trip during a
snow storm. However, those who did
brave the weather, had a most enjoy
able time. Dancing and other amuse-
ments kept the ladies contented all
the time, while something doin' on
every corner kept the men folks from
having to kill" time
The Central City lodge was well
represented and in the parade carried
off first prize-a bronz electrolier-
for the lodge having the largest num-
Der in line in proportion to member
ship. The costume of the local boys
consisted of purple duster, white
crush hat and cane. Louis Rachofsky
acted as captain of the bunch and
according to his figures, sixty-two
members of 557 were in line in the
parade. Walsenburg was a close con-
tender for this prize, but contented
themselves with taking first prize for
unique costume. The prize for the
best appearance in line, went to No.
II Of Denver. The prize for the band
making the best appearance in line
went to Boulder, with Ouray second.
At the business session of the
lodges, held Saturday morning, Louis
Rachofsky of the local lodge was
highly honored by being elected sec
ord vice president of the state asso-
citation. Walsenburg was selected as
the place of holding the reunion next
year, which is a guarantee that next
years reunion will be a most success
full one.
Idaho Springs was gaily AMI pa
triotically decorated for the reunion
and in every way did itself proud.
The entire town extended the glad
hand to the hundreds of visitors, and
the Idaho Springs reunion of the Elks
will go down in history as one of

represents about fifty Fer cent Of
the vote OF the county at a general
election. Eighteen hundred votes
were cast in the general election of

NEW ORE BODY IN OLD TOWN.

Manager Geo. K. Kimball early this
week was showing a fine-looking
specimen of ore, taken from an en-.
tirely new streak opened by cross
cutting into what had been deemed
the hanging wall of the vein. This
simply adds to the possibilities Of
this reliable producing property, which
for years has been a main stay for
Russell district. making several for
tunes for the owners and various
lessees.
Manager Kimball has not only dis
played rare judgment in locating ore
bodies and in comprehensive develop
ment plans, but he has in, James A.
Redding an able assistant.
With lateral connection at depth
with the Newhouse tunnel, supple
mentary hosting plant, and ore re-
serves above the tunnel level guaran-
tying production for an indefinite
period, Kimball and associates are
certainly to be congratulated upon
their business conduct of the prop.

RAILS SHIPMENTS
RICH IN GOLD

The management of the Rails Coun-
ty mine is pursuing the sensible
course in the operation of their prop
erty. They are maintaining shipments
of ore that give profitable returns
and at the same time are continuing
development. Ore is being taken out
above the 70O-foot level and below
this point the shaft is being sunk
to open up the ore shoots at depth.
The regular run of the ore shipped
is Of high class and were the same
grade Of ore produced in Cripple
Creek or other camps of the state, 1t
would be heralded as something won
derful Here it is not regarded as
sensational when a Quartz hill prop
erty produces ore that will run from
one to several hundred dollars. The
old hill, from records set in the early
days Of the camp, is expected to out
put high-grade ore.
Last month the shipments from
the Rails went $1,000 to the ton,
first-class smelling, $500 per ton
second class, and $34.OO per ton third
class. Concentrates and mill ore av-
eraged $12.75 per ton in car lots.
This is a showing that any mine may
well be proud of.

SENATORIAL VOTE.

The vote in the 26th senatorial dis
trict. comprising jefferson. Boulder.
Clear Creek and Gilpin counties. cast
for the Democratic candidates In the
primaries for H. c. Bolsinger and
Joseph Hurd, shows the valley man
to have received the nomination by
a big lead. This was to be expected
as in the primary it is next to i'm
possible to nominate a man from the
mountain section against one from
the valley. The valley sections. es-
pecially in district like the 2eth
senatorial, have too large vote for
the mountain counties to overcome.
Under the primary system Of nomin-
ating it is doubtful II Clea- Creek

getting representation in the senate
should either Boulder or Jefferson
county have man on the primary
ballot. The vote OF each county fol-

SCHOOL OF MINES
ORE PLANT READY

The new experimental ore dressing
and metallurgical plant built at Col
den for the School of Mines, the cost
Of which will approximate $125,000, is
completed and will be in operation
the LIST of November. There is only
one mining school in the world which
possesses a similar plant. This is the
Royal in London, England. The new
plant at Golden will be a large factor
In the development Of Colorado's
mineral resources.
Al special feature, carefully consid-
cred in building the plant, is its flex-
ibility. The installation OF launders,
conveyors. and elevators is so arrang-
ed that any combination or variety
OF tests may be made. The plant has
been so constructed that every meth
cd now used for treatpent Of rebel
lious ores can be demonstrated, thus
giving the students knowledge which
could not otherwise be acquired only
by extensive travelling.
Its facilities also will be available
to experts who desire to make private
investigations. In addition to all this,
floor space has been reserved for
testing new devices. An inventor who
wishes to perfect his invention can
have all the facilities Of power water,
floor space. ore supply and expert as
sistance at slight expense and will
not be obligated to incur the heavy
cost OF equipping plant for his own
invention.

FIFTY PER CENT OF THE VOTE
OF THE COUNTY IS cAsr-DEM-
ocRATs POLL THREE-FoURTHs

justices of the Peace James Moody
and Thomas Roberts, with County
Clerk Frank Moody, completed the
official canvass of the vote polled
in Gilpin county in the primary ell.
ection, Monday of this week. AS one
OF the contests was close-that OF
sheriff-the count was eagerly await.
ed as the voters wanted to know
who had secured the nomination for
sheriff on the Democratic ticket, AL
bert Gundy or Fred Bolsinger. The
canvass showed Mr.. Bolsinger to
have been nominated by the slender
margin OF one vote. The Rollinsville
and Tolland returns were examined
first. 2oliinsville was carried by
Gundy by eight votes and Bolsinger
carried Tolland by seven votes. The
result in these two precincts deter
mined the nominee for this office, the
unofficial returns from the remain
ing seven precincts OF the county
showing how the vote stood.
Mr.. Gundy made splendid race
considering that it was his first ap-
pearance. before the voters. He feels
and came so near winning the nomin-
alton, the sting of defeat is missing.
He will go down the line for the
Democratic ticket as was the under
standing of all the candidates on the
primary ballot, regardless Of who was
honored with nominations. The Demo-
cratic primary contest was conducted
in fair and friendly manner and no
feeling Of antagonism exists. This is
as it should be under a system of
nominating candidates where the peo-
pie exercise their preference.
Although there were no candidates
on the Democratic primary ballot for
the office of superintendent Of
schools, Mrs. R. C. johnson received
20 votes, Miss Lizzie Clark and
Miss Edna Driscoll 5. The names of
these ladies' were written on the
ballot. G. e. Farmer. of Russell, also
received votes for superintendent,
and, there We're others who received a
scattering vote CT from one to three.
Under the primary law Mrs. johnson
becomes the nominee OF her party
for superintendent provided she does
not file declination.
A table Of the Democratic vote cast
for all the candidates on the state
and county ticket is printed in an
other part o. this issue. This will
give the voters complete information
as to the vote cast in each of the
nine precincts. A table OF the 9epub-
lican vote was not compiled for the
reason that so little interest was TAX
en- in the Republican primary and
very few of the voters of the county
seem to care what the vote was, par
ticularly as 1t pertains to the state
candidates. The Republican county
ticket had no contest except for rep
resentative and assessor.

hole was pierced in the ceiling of this
office. BY the use of drill and saw
a circular piece of the flooring was
easily raised. Beneath lay a thick
layer of cement. A small orifice was
made in this and an umbrella showed
down into the space below. The UNI

and when opened received without

the question might be that she would

University Of Pennsylvania Museum

Heads.

Chickasha, Okla-Prof George b.
Gordon, director of the University Of
Pennsylvania museum, has just receiv-
ed, through his agents in London,
three human heads, which, although
preserving the full contour of the
features, are approximately 200 years
old. They are the grotesquely tattoo
ed heads of leaders of the ancient
Maori of New Zealand, who were first
discovered in 1910 by the famous ex-
plorer, Capt. James Cook
Professor Gordon explained that
the heads were preserved by process
OF smoking them and were kept for
the same reasons that Caucasians
keep pictures Of their ancestors. The
heads are not gruesome or revolving.
even to the most sensitive and highly
imaginative person.
The faces are smooth and do not
suggest human flesh any more than
the face of a wax doll. The eyes are
closed and the hair is well preserved
The entire face is covered. with
fanciful though symmetrical figures.
tattooed during life The Maori are
the only tribe Of the entire Poly
nesian race who preserved their
heads. The people Of Borneo also pre-
serve heads, but.sdo not tattoo their
faces as did the Maori
According to Dr.. Gordon, the pre-
served heads are very rare. there be-
ing only two or three known to be In

Benevolent Mule, )

A farmer once bought mule at the
market and named it Tough Hide, for
It looked as If it had been accustomed
to more blows than food. He put the
animal in his little clover field, and
this it seemed to enjoy very much
One morning Tough Hide saw a troop
of asses coming down the lane, look
ing rather thin. He asked them II
they would like a nice feed of sweet
clover. "Ah, wouldn't wei" brayed
the asses.
So the mule with his teeth drew out
the staple which fastened the gate
and let them in. Soon after the farm
er passed by, and saw the animals
eating his clover, SO he got a cudgel
and drove them all out. He not only
gave the asses a sound thrashing, but
be thrashed Tough Hide as well.

but ought not to be practiced with
