TACOMA. Aug 1. - At the state convention now in session in this city, of the Progressive third party movement riotous scenes were en- acted today between the delegates to the convention. The question over which the most extreme wrangling took place was as to whether the convention should form a new party for the state of Washington, or only name set of delegates to the national convention of the party, which will be held in Chicago next Monday. Those favoring the form ing of a new party were in the majority, and amidst the widest tu- mutt a motion to form a third party for the state was declared carried by the chair. This means the nam- ing of an entire state ticket of the third party as opposed to the regu- lar Republican ticket, and in the opinion of the politicians means the election of the Democratic state ticket at the November election.

DEATH OF MRS. DAVE WOOD.

Mrs. Dave Wood dropped dead at
her home in Denver Friday morning
Of last week. She had been very sick
five weeks ago with Bright's disease
and 1t is presumed that the effects
Of this aAment was the cause of her
sudden demise. Her death was wholly
unexpected as she was up and around
and apparently in fair health. Her
untimely death was a shock to hun
dreds OF Gilpin county friends and is
generally lamented.
The remains were shipped to Cen
trail Saturday evening and were taken
to Russell for burial. The funeral was
held Sunday from the NJ. E. church
Rev. Edgar Jones officiating. The
funeral was the largest attended of
any held in Russell Gulch in years.
Mrs. Wood was a good Christian
woman and a splendid mother. She
was beloved by a wide circle Of
friends. The family left Russell three
years ago for Denver to make their
home. Prior to removing to Denver,
Mrs Wood had resided in the Gulch
since 1881. She was SO years OF age.
A husband and eight children are
left to mourn the loss of loving
wife and mother. All the children
were present at the funeral.

Eighty-five couples attended the
dance given in the Armory hall Tues
day evening by the Elks. The affair
was a social and financial success.
The music was furnished by Koenigs-
berg's orchestra. and was the finest
heard in these parts in many a day.
The orchestra is composed Of local
talent with the exception Of the
leader. from whom the orchestra de-
rives its name. No outside orchestra
can furnish music to compare with
that OF our local crowd of musicians
and 1t is folly for any organization
to send away for their orchestra
music. The dancers are more than
satisfied with Koenigsberg's orches
ira, and any time they furnish the
music crowd is assured. Give the
home boys a chance. That they can
make good has been proven. The St
Ann society served tasty twenty
five cent lunch, which was enjoyed
by all.

NO CHANGE IN TRAINS.

The citizens of the GilDin and Clear
Creek counties have been greatly ag-
itated during the past two weeks over
a report that has gained circulation
to the effect that the Colorado &
Southern railway company contem-
plated the discontinuance OF the out
going morning train and the incom-
ing train. The Observer, as has al
ways been the policy CT the paper to
keep the public reliably informed on
matters Of general public concern,
sifted the report down and learns
from reliable authority that no
change is to be made in the running
Of the regular passenger trains to
and from either Gilpin of Clear Creek
counties. The railway officials had
given the change some consideration,
but realizing the inconvenience their
patrons would suffer, concluded to
abandon the idea.
Every fall 1t is rumored that the
C. & s. will run but one passenger
train a day ON the Clear Creek divi-
sion and Immediately the citizens be-
come worked up over the announce
ment. 1t is presumed that II the rail-
road company ever decides to re-
duce the number Of passenger trains
they run on this division. the public
will be officially notified. So heed the
old adage, Don't cross a bridge un-
til you come to it"

The writer feels so grateful to the
Democrats who honored him with the
nomination for county Judge at the
primaries Tuesday, his vocabulary,
extensive though 1t may be. is made
quate to fully express his gratitude.
Cur majority is in the neighborhood
Of 100, and considering the high
standing OF our opponents and the
esteem in which they are held in the
county, the majority is as large as
We should or could expect. The writ
er realizes that he is but nominated,
but a nomination under the new prim
ary election may be regarded as a
victory half won and 1t shall be our
endeavor to defeat the Republican
nominee in the general election to
be held on November 9th. We can
but partly express our appreciation
Of the votes of friends at this time
but trust they will realize the pleas
ure we find in this endorsement.

THE MOST PROMISING SEC.
TION IN THE U, 9,

Colorado, by it's many mining dis
tricts should be the most attractive
place in the United States in which
to live. Its natural resources are of
far greater than given credit. Agri-
culture and mining are combinations
not met with to the extent here Of
fered. Every canon with the perpet-
ual flow Of water, if stored, could ir-
rigate every desirable acre of land in
the state. The farmers could make
fortunes did they go at the business
with proper spirit. The product from
the state through irrigation could be
made such that not a particle of any
thing would need be shipped in. Even
sheep and cattle could be raised in
such numbers the growers would In.
a few years be able to supply the
states with all that was necessary
and aid in solution Of the high
cost of living. Canals running out
from the pent waters OF every noun
tain stream should prove of meal
culable worth to all caring to own a
little land we'll titled. With this
mines appreciated to the same extent,
this should be the richest and most
populous state in the union.
The agricultural part is viewed
with great deal of pride by many
There is hardly stream that comes
out OF the mountains. that is not
pretty we'll drawn upon, but much Is
left to go to waste in seasons when
it should be impounde1 and preserv-
ed to be drawn upon when needed.
The mining industry presents just
srch promising outlook There are
probably more mineral sections IN
Colorado than found elsewhere. Be.
ginning in the northern part of the
state they string along to the south
ern border. There are many districts
some Of the best known in the world
and there is a possibility that even
though some are good and have been
on the map for years their story is
yet to be told. Old Gilpin is prob
ably the best known Of those which
could be mentioned. The mineral talk
en- out surrounding Central City is
a fraction of what will be mined in
the future. There are outlying dis
tricts that have hardly begun to pro-
duce. While a great deal has been
performed in the hills surrounding.
it is the belief of many that much
more ore will be encountered in out
lying camps. These are merely kept
in check because of their remote
ness from rail transportation. They
are making records even under ad
verse circumstances. Assays seem to
warrant better returns with greater
development. That would seem to be
all that is needed to make them i'm
mense producers.
With all this display Of promise.
both in an agricultural and mining
sense, should make Colorado the rich
est section of country on earth. Any
one can believe it did they view the
matter in proper light.
Gilpin observer., 1912-09-12
NOTHING BETTER TO
BE FOUND elsewhere

If Colorado hopes to hold its own
the mines of the state must be view
ed by its inhabitants in better
light There are some willing to &C
knowledge that without the mines
the state would present a sorry spec
tacle. The many Indications Of the
presence Of mineral should call out
greater endeavors in an attempt to
bring them to light in abundance.
Every piece of float that upon assay
proves of value is an indication worth
investigating. Where the rock is one
whole sparkle is evidence enough Of
the presence of more. There are many
showings Of this sort in this sec
tion of the state. The dumps of the
old-time mines cover a great deal Of
meaning to the experienced miner and
the novice is quite often astonished
at the portal of many properties
scattered over the hills.
Not long ago a man had a commits
sion to present property for inspec-
ton. No district in particular was
mentioned. He chose to investigate
old Gilpin fi-at. Nor did he go any
farther for he was offered properties
that astonished him. Four were par
ticularly promising. One was in shape
to begin work in a few weeks that
was reported to have three hundred
thousand dollars worth of ore in
sight that would have averaged eight
cen dollars or better. Concentrated
the returns would be a great deal
more.
One Of the Oldest properties in the
state. located in this district, can
be had at price about the cost Of
the surface improvements. In all can
dor it must be said that this parti-
scular mine is troubled with water, as
are a number of others equally as
good. There are millions worth of ore
exposed in the mines Of Gilpin coun-
ty. The problem of water overcome
and successful and cheap concentra-
ton process would make this district
ono of the liveliest in the country.
Properties along the course Of the
Newhcuse tunnel are desirable for
taking over.
Many recognize the worth of the
mines that can be drained and the
ore taken out by means of this great
enterprise. There are not many prop
critics beneath the level of the bore
along its course. A property located
one hundred to a thousand feet above
the course OF the. tunnel, with
strong showing of mineral. is very
promising proposition. Such prop
erty rs not likely to go begging for
an investor. While the situation is
locally understood, outsiders do not
fully appreciate the Importance Of
the tunnel as factor in the working
of mines along its course. Develop
ments will disclose how great are the
ore bodies lying beneath the last
level in shaft and the tunnel.
AS repeatedly said, there are many
good mining districts in Colorado. but
there re none that present anything
better than can be found in the lit
tie kingdom Of Gilpin. The district is
favorably located and only a few
hours ride from the metropolis.
