LABOR DAY CELEBRATION
At RUSSELL BIG EVENT

for the 500 prize offered to the WIN
ming team. The game caused the most
interest, as both teams were out to
win. The Russell batteries were Keel
er and Walker, while Quaintance and
j.. Jeuck, took care of the battery
work for the Mines. When the Cen
trail team scored 2 runs in the first
and runs in the second inning, it
looked like easy money. The four
runs in the second inning were scor-
ed by Sleepy Semmens, when, with
the bases full, he hit one of Keel
er's fast ones for a home run. The
ball was lost for fully five minutes
after it hit. Russell was powerless be-
fore the pitching of Quaintance, and
for five innings We're shut cut. In the
sixth, with the bases full, Richards
hit for home run. scoring three
ahead of himself. The hit was two-

out, but Chapple, who was at that
time umpiring balls and strikes, CALI
ed it home run. L. j. Rachofsky
assisted John Chapple in umpiring
the game. which required the deci-
sions Of two experts to Judge.
The game was hard-fought all the
way, and was featured throughout by
arguments and kicking. In decisions,
Russell had all the best of it, but at
that they could not overcome tha
lead of the Central boys. When the
game was finally finished the score
read Russell 6 and Central 9. The fol.
lowing tells the tale:

LUCKY LEAD STRIKE.

JUDGE MCCALL AND
THE DISTRICT JUpGsHIP.

(The following article appeared as
an editorial in the Idaho Springs
Mining Gazette, leading Democratic
newspaper, on December Is, 1909
President Taft's appointment Of
Justice White. a Democrat, to the
chief justiceship Of the Supreme
Court Is one Of the most remarkable
occurrences Of political history 1t is
the first case where a president has
chosen one of the opposite party to
such position Of paramount i'm
portance. No doubt it is an extraor-
binary compliment to the learning
and judicial ability of Justice White
but 1t is even more a credit to the
president who, in making such an
appointment gave recognition to the
principle that the courts should be
unaffected by political considerations.
This act gives the highest precedent
to line of policy that has been re
peatedly sustained by the voters of
the country but has not before been
recognized by any president and prob
ably the precedent will be fixed for
future years to the advantage of the
courts and without harm to PARTISAN
ship. For many years the people have
refused to be governed by partisan
arguments in the selection OF judges
o. the state and district courts and
the results have been cleaner courts.
In the district Of which Clear Creek
Is part the non-partisan rule has
become precedent through years of
practice. Judge DeFrance who held
several terms as district Judge was
elected time after time in a Repub-
lican district by Republican votes
though he was Democrat running
on Democratic tickets. His successor
Judge Mccall is a Republican. He
was nominated and elected on a
Democratic ticket with the full know1-
edge and appreciation of the fact
that in politics he was opposed 20
Democratic policies. He had distin-
guished himself by his opposition to
the machine methods of his own par
ty which had therefore refused him
the nomination. His record has been
SO excellent and the example set by
the president is so pertinent that it
is safe to say that no partisanship
will obtain in his re-election."-Ad

STILL DRILLING TO
TAP THE PHOENIX.

The work that Robert Sayre and
associates have accomplished so far
m the unwatering of Quartz hill,
means the rejuvenation of the richest
square mile on earth at an early
date.
This has been done by utilizing up
to-date methods with the diamond
core drill. A brief description Of the
work is of interest at this time.
AT a point on the Kansas-Bur-
roughs vein in the Newhouse tunnel,
some two and one half miles from
the portal, lateral was driven 312
feet, under the Phoenix-Burroughs
shaft. A crosscut was driven south
for 90 feet to get in ground suitable
for drill operations. This crosscut is
100 feet back from the breast Of the
lateral
A raise of 25 feet was then made
to accommodate the drilling machin-
cry. A hole was started which fitch
cred in 40 feet. The machine was
moved back ten feet and another hole
started, which is in 225 feet above
the tunnel level. At 1876 feet the core
drillings showed porphry heavily min
eralized; at 215 feet, gouge was
struck with the result that within the
next ten feet, the drill brought out
core 1S inches in length of solid cop
per iron. The drill next entered loose
rock when the flow of water inter-
fered with further operations. A
steady stream of water has been out
pouring ever since. While the drill
did not reach within so feet of the
objective point, the water in the
mines on the north side of Quartz
hill has been steadily lowering at
the rate of from eight to nine inches
per day.
While this may not seem a quick
lowering of the water, considering
that this drainage means the lowering
of body of water nearly one and
one half miles in width, it is a grand
achievement for the instigatcrs of
the enterprise, that means so much
for Gilpin county. Whether Messrs.
Sayre & Co., continue further drill
operations, depends on the present
hole keeping open. If not, another
hole will be drilled at once.
