Of surprise to friends. She had

NATIONAL TUNNEL ORE.

Five leasers are working in the
National tunnel below Black Hawk
and are making good money above
wages. Morris brothers, who are
sinking a wfnze below the main tun,
mel, made the following settlement:
Three tons Of LIST class, 1.90 ounces
gold, IL ounces silver. go copper to
the ton. Second class, five tons-.s0
ounces gold. ounces silver, 3sa
copper. Out Of 100 tons OF crude ore
shipped by the company. % tons Of
concentrates were produced which
averaged $4,000 to the ton. The
DIRT was treated at the Iron City
mill.
The company intends within tho
next two or three months working
their property on more extensive
scale than ever before. In one stopa
there are between 600 and 700 tons
OF ore that will average $500 a ton.
This stope will be pulled as soon as
the company resumes heavy opera
tions.

DRIFTING ON THE ORION.

Herman Schoenherr & Co., have
taken a contract to drive 25 feet
east and west of the shaft in the
Glpin- Orion property. They stopped
sinking in the shaft a week ago and
commenced driving the drifts.
At the present depth of 225 feet
in the shaft six inches of smelling
ore was encountered and this streak
is being d-ifted on. 1t shows in a
we'll defined vein on either side of
the shaft. The last assay taken of
this smelling streak showed values of
$77.00 to the ton. There is a bunch
of mill dirt from Is inches to two
feet in width with the iron. The ore
being broken in drifting is identical
in character to that found in, the Carr
and Nemeha mines, contiguous to the
Gilpin-Orion, which invariably carried
high values.

THE OLD CAMP THE MAINsrAYs.

1t is perfectly safe to say that
as many strikes of highfrade ore
ara made in Gilpin county as in any
other mining section IN ths :stAte.
says Gen. Frasl< Hall In the Denve.
Post. 1t they were reported from a
district 200 or 300 miles away they
would excite more interest. Gilpin
county is too near Denver. 1t is
one of the substantial trade tribu.
taries Of Denver. and being quite as
we'll known as the streets and bus
mess houses. nothing that occurs
there rises above the commonplace
1t illustrates what the Post
has been claiming for years, that we
have only to reopen a lot Of the
old shaft and prospect pits in the
established districts to increase our
mineral production indefinitely. We
don't need new mining camps as
much as the proper utilization of
discoveries made by the old-timers,
who have neither the means nor the
disposition to develop their finds.

THE NORTHERN SECTION.

Many have their eyes set in the
direction Of northern Gilpin county.
Something big is expected from there
soon. Denver parties recently made
a number Of locations Of which they
are well pleased. They have not full
ly proven just what they found, but
they claim it looks good to them.
This is mentioned simply because It
was thought no good returns could
be had for the picking. Having heard
that claim had not been worked
the past year, they took upon them
selves the responsibility of relocat.

The Lucania tunnel. being driven
by the Sternbergers from the Clear
Creek side of the district to cut

county, will be pretty certain to sur

as developments have reached that

systematic working OF the immense

GLADYS soLsiNeER CALLED.

The bereavements that have befall-
en- the old families of GilMn coun-
ty during the past few years have
been personal sorrows to the CON-
munity. Youth and age alike have
been taken by Death; and the youth
and age left behind have mourned
sincerely. Hardly a family of the
older circle has escaped the touch
of sorrow, and certainly not one af-
flicted family has failed to feel the
comfort of the great rush of friend
ly sympathy. 1t is hoped that Mr..
and Mrs. Henry C. Bolsinger and
their sons may feel this consolation
and be sustained in the loss of their
sweet daughter and sister, Gladys.
The news OF Gladys Bolsinger's
death seemed unbelievable. She and
her mother were planning a trip to
California and were to have left Den
yer on Tuesday of this week. Instead
of that journey Mr.. and Mrs. Boil
singer brought their daughter home
so recently has the body had its
tenant that there is for the moment
tion-and from her fathers house,
on Thursday afternoon she was
carried to her resting place among
the hills she knew SO we'll.
Gladys had always unusual gentle
ness and delicacy. Though so young
girl, not twenty-one until next May
the twenty-sixth, she seemed never
to be without consciousness of the
depths Of life. Those who knew her
best felt the touch of the infinite
upon her spirit. Even when she was
little girl she seemed to live a
part Of her life away from the ex-
ternal, and in the strange way that
some children have, she seemed at
times to belong to the unseen. or as
some poet says, Ito other worlds
than this
On Monday afternoon, the fifteenth
OF January, at st. Anthony's hospital
in Denver. Gladys died. The short
winter day was closing, when the Life
withdrew quietly, one might almost
say graciously. 1t was in truth a
passing. Those whom she loves best
remember her last words to them,
cheerful and courageous words. She
he'd been in the hospital just a few
hours. She would be all right. she
said. However she may have known
that she must leave, she was for
ever brave.No one ever heard Gladys
Bolsinger complain. 1t was foreign
to her nature. Her memory is in
finitely precious to those that knew
her. To have won two such epithets
as she has won-that she was brave
and SWEETS to have lived we'll in
this sad world.

o'clock. the funeral was held at the

came to town, but not many; for with
the narrowing fringe of timber about
the Kansas streams the pawpaw is be-

the coyote, the movers wagon, the sa
loon, the hoop snake and the gambler

which is a fruit of the wilderness, is
only standing on the order of its going.

sas to his neolithic forebear. Men ate
pawpaws before they built fires, be-
fore they polished their weapons of war
and defense. Therefore the pawpaw
takes us back into the days that Were.
Smell a pawpaw-hold it to your nose
and take a long deep breath. You in.
hale the woods and the deep tangc and
soft earth of the deep ravine; there
comes back the picture of the turtle on
the log, of the water snake curls of the
tree over the slough; smell the paw
paw and you feel your youth conc
whisking out of the past: youth ana
joy and the secret places in the woods.
What a world of memories of silent
oars dipping into the quiet waters, me-
mories of wild grapes and festoons of
overhanging vines, and walnuts falling
away through the woods, and glow of
foliage touched with autumn splendors.
Smell the pawpaw and enter the woods
that have gone; smell the pawPaw and
by its magic time vanishes, and for an
instant slip back to the days when all
the world was young. What a magic
