Slippery Trails Result in Small

Rain and the poor condition ~ the

test proved a spirited one. Winged m
runners captured the first FIVE positions.
Charles Mccain led home the field in =

Death of Noble Man

Colonel A. q. Browul passed away
at his home at the Stanley mine on
Tuesday afternoon about a quarter past
three Last summer sore appeared
on the left side of his face, which grad
ually developed into a cancer, from the
effects OF which death resulted. During
the past two months he had been con
fined to his bed and suffered intensely
from the cancerous growth. Every pos
sible attention was given him through
medical aid and the care of his wife to
allay his sutferings. without any encour-
agement that it would result sther-
wise than fatally. Mrs Brownlee
left on Wednesday afternoon with the
remains for Chicago, where they will be
inferred and al which place an only Sis
ter, Mrs. n. B. Stantial, resides. The
death of Colonel Brownlee removes from
this state one of the great friends of
the mining industry. During his resi-
denca of ten years he has been active'in
aiming to promote and protect the min
ing interests. He was well read man
and combined with this was a natural
ability to accomplish results. He took
great interest in the American Mining
congress and was one of its officers and
directors. Prior to coming here, he was
chief clerk 10 General Nelson A. Miles
and afterwards was Indian agent at
Standing Rock agency in North Dakota.
He was horn in Canada and came to the
United States when II years of age and
immediately on attaining his majority
he became a paturalized citizen. In
addition to his great interest in mining,
he had a high degree of literary ability,
as was shown in his writings, and his
taste for art and painting was of the
highest order and in which he took great
interest. Mr.. Brownee belonged to the
highest type of gentleman aud his per
sonality was one of the most attractive
pleasure to engage in conversation with
him for it was drinking from a rich
and olevating fountain of knowledge and
ripe information. He was largely inter
ested in the Stanley mines, also the
Japan Flora group near Telluride. He
was intensely interested in the Malm
process, for which mill is being put in
working order to properly test out this
method of treating ore. He had contrib
uted valuable papers on important sub
jects as a member of the Colorado Sci
entitic society. His untimely death at
the age of "a will be sadly regretted q
noble character has passed away,

The county commissioners of tho var
ious counties in Colorado held a meeting
in Denver this week to discuss matters
pertaining to their work. Among the
questions that commanded special at
tention was that of Good Roads. The
convention endorsed the various high
way associations of the state, the high
ways from the south and. east into
Colorado, the state highway commission
and above all endorsed just what the
Pueblo conventions should have done,
namely the three roads across the noun
tains: One from Denver via Idaho
Springs and Berthoud pass, one from
Colorado Springs via Ute Pass and one
from Pueblo generally termed the
Santa Fe or Rainbow route Had the
Pueblo conventlnn been liberal and had
looked to their best interests it would
have respected the minority and sub
served its own interest best by advoca
ting these three routes instead of the
indidual one in the southern part of the
state. There is room across the noun
tains for several routes and it is sell
fish community that aims to monopolize
single route. The Rainbow route
fellows have gained nothing by want
ing to make a restriction of a single
routr.

PROMOTING MINING INDUSTRY

The recent gathering of large num-
Der of mining men of this state in Den
yer will be prolific of much good to the
mining interests. Mining has not re-
ceved the attention it should for many
years as agricultural land and irrigation
interests have been paramount and vet
it was mining industry that gave Colo
RADIO its prestige, standing and great
reputation Had not these mountains
been filed with the precious metals
Colorado would in all proba bility still
be a thinly populated territory. Wei
come to all the agencies tnat are now
making the state famous but don't for
get its solid foundation aud its great
mineral agency that has been the back
bone of Colorados growth and prosper
ity. Without these precious metals
making their great yield, there would be
no Capitol Hill And yet the mining
industry is in its infancy in the great
Rocky Mountains This new organiza-
tion will have its headquarters in Den
YER and hold its meetings in the State
House. Its aim is to place the mining
industry in the front ranks once more,
to eliminate wild eating, aim to prevent
unequal and unjust taxation and sub
serve the very best interests of the Min
ing Industry. This county was very
credtably represented by Capt. Henry
l. Seeman and Mr.. W. p. Daniels. 1t
is hoped that Clear Creek county and
Idaho Springs will have strong organ
ization to cooperate with the state fra
ternity and that it will put in the vim
and vigor in setting forth the mining
merits of this section as has been done
in our good roads movement. Within a
few days there will be another meeting
of the organization for the purpose Of
adopting constitution and by laws.
This is practical move and will give en-
tire attention in bringing practical re-
suits.

object of which is to raise money to

ball park. During the recent
high winds the grand stand was
blown over AID demolished. In order
to replace this the dance is arranged
Candy Will johnson is managing this
affair and is giving much time to it
and hustling with his well known en-
ergy. His efforts should be backed up
by the lovers of base ball. 1t is one
of our sources of amusements during
the summer, in fact it is the principal
one. Every lover of this great nation
al game should buy ticket There
should be enough of these ticke.s sold
to replace the damages. If you don't
dance buy ticket without any reser-

Music will be furnished by Leach 5
orchestra which means first class mus
ic. Get into the game for the dance
and do your share by investing at
least one dollar for a ticket.

Recently Mr.. John Herman, Assistant
Manager of the Brown Palace Hotu
Denver, was here on trip Of inspection
of the new Hotel conditions. In COM
pany with Mr.. Joe Meyer, Jr. he went
over the property Of the mineral springs
and Hotel Springs company and was
very wonderfully pleased with what he
saw and learned. He took the picture
showing the facade of the proposed
hotel building and put it in the lobby
of the Brown Palace where il is admired
by the hundreds of guests who make
that hostelry there stopping place. 1t
has proven great advertisement for
Idaho Springs At Pueblo last week
frequent remarks were made about it by
those who had been in that hotel. The
way to do is to keep up the Idaho
Springs grit, boost apd spirit. To do
this means to keep and stand together
as a unit for the upbuilding of a greater
city. 1t means that there will result
more people here, greater interest in
mining, more capital and better times
for the miner as we'll as for the oper ators
