ABOUT THE PIONEER
DAYSOF CRIPPLE CREEK

His Pueblo associates, who by the
way for the most part were en-
ployes and officials of the Pueblo
shelters. discouraged him in doing
the assessment work, the ground
not being sufficiently valuable or
promising.
He had located eighteen claims,
taking in almost one whole slope
of Bull hill-including the location
Of what is now the great Findley
mine-and after the claims had all
heen relocated. he discovered that
the partner to whom he had given
the certificates to record had gone
OF on drunk-and forgotten all
about them
Guyot had to contest the first
law suit over mining property in
Cripple Greek. He lost the case,
regardless of the fact that seven of
his claims took in the claimed dis
covery of his opponent The prop
erty involved comprised eleven
claims adjoining the Anaconda on
Gold hill, and included the ground
which afterwards enriched Carl
Johnson to the tune of half a
million dollars from his lease on
the Kittie NJ.
But Guyot established the first
assay Office in Cripple Creek; he
was the "angel" for the first news
paper published in the camp. and
he wrote the first newspaper articles
commenting the district, He says.
too, that he remembers that he sent
the first telegram that went out Of
the district. 1t was to ex-senator
Teller of Colorado, and it notified
him that Cripple Creek would pay
a good share of the national debt.
The telegram caused a grin on the
/ floor of the senate.
Said Guyot:
1T was not easy. All my old
friends of the mines and smelters
in Colorado; all the old guard of
: prospectors from Leadyille and the
: San Juan: all those who remem-
bered the Pixies Peak or Bust

Wireless Works Better at Night.

Wireless Works Better at Night.
That the long electric waves util-
lied in aerial telegraphy over great
distances travel better during the
hours of darkness than Of sunlight,
and that the natural electric waves
~occasioned by atmospheric electric
discharges, known as "strays" or
ks" to wireless operators, are de-
spatched more satisfactorily during
the hours of the night than in the
daytime is now a matter of common
knowledge.
Tests made in London during the
solar eclipse on April II last indicate
that the darkness of this eclipse had
the normal effect of facilitating the
propagation of these waves over great
distances, but that there are portions
of time during the period of deepest
darkness at the receiving station when
propagation is notably impeded.
Whether or not this last phenomenon
is to be taken as a mere accident has
not yet been clearly ascertained.-

Revealed Family Secret.

The other day a teacher in a Boston
school, who had just had a present of
q very handsome ha%nd-painted fan,
took it down to the class room for the
e~diication of the scholars. Very few
of them had seen anything other than
the palm leaf, or cheap Japanese fan,
and did not associate this gorgeous af-
fair even with the five cen paper
things of somewhat similar shape.
Selecting perhaps the dullest of the
pupils, the teacher held up the fan,
and asked what the lovely thing
was.
The child did not know.
what does your mother use to keep
her cool in the hot weather." asked
the teacher.
Beer" was the reply.

GREAT YEAR FOR
DUCK HUNTING

Bowbells Tribune: AS we near the
hunting season the ducks and chickens
continue to become more numerous.
Especially is this true with the ducks.
Every lake, slough and pot hole is
alive with them and they are mostly
full grown 1t will be an easy matter
for most any one, whether he is a
good shot or not, to get all the law al
lows the first day and it would not be
necessary to go very far out of town
to do it either. The big slough a
couple of miles south of the city, which
during the past few years has been
dry and which during the early days
was the best duck pond in the country,
is now better than 1t aver was. About
two feet OF water covers almost an
entire section with plenty of rushes
for hiding places. The DesLacs lake,
east of the city, which during the past
has been a very poor place to get
ducks, this year is lower than usual
and each bank is lined with several
rods of high rushes and wild rice,
making an ideal place for ducks to
stay, and also a good place to hunt
them. 1t seems as though every water
hole is better this year than it ever
was before and nothing a prevent
the people Of Bowbells from having
all the duck meat this fall that they
can use.

G. N. DoolittIe of Alfred, LaMoure

In an item in The Forum made about
the conviction of the horse thief, it
inadvertently mixed the names of the
thief and the man from whom the
horse was stolen. Mr.. Doolittle is to
be congratulated on his success in
landing the thief behind the bars.
