The ElhS Convention

The annual convention of the
Elks order of the state will NJ eet
in this city next Septem Der.
will bring here perhaps 1900 peo-
pie. This meeting will be the
most important gathering that
has been held in tins city for many
years. 1t will bring more mon

ering that has ever met here. 1t
becomes our people to co operate
with the local lodge i'll every pos
sible manner to make their Wis
it here one of the most pleasant
in the history of such meetings
of this great order. The time
will soon arrive when active steps
will have to be taken for their en-
tertainment. 1t will tax our ca
pacity to furnish accom- m odations
but this can be done readily if
each and everyone having rooms
to spare to throw open the doors
and extend such courtesies. With
the opening of the automobile road
to Denver in the early spring it
will mean that a large number of
these guests will come in ma

will prove the best advertisement
that our city could have. What
we want to do is our full duty
co operating with No. oo7, and
this should be done with unlim-
tied and unrestrained pride. 1t
is an instance when there should
be pull altogether and not only
show the Idaho Springs Way
but its spirit and courtesy as
we'll. 1t was compliment to
this city when the last convention
decided with such humanity at
Ouray to come here And, by
the way, there is decided sim
: ilarity between these two cities.
Idaho Springs and Ouray are Of
ten coupled together as the two
prettiest mountain cities in the
country. We want these visitors
to go away with feeling OF
10Y over the manner in which
they ale received and treated.
We want them to go away with
a heart full of gratitude for this
city. We want to extend them
the most cordial hand OF well

ing their entire stay. The Elks
lodge and Club Association of
this city has shown its interests
and benevolence on numerous oc-
casions and now will the opportu-
nifty be afforded to show our ap-
probation by a mutual reciprocal
ton. Let us do it freely and
magnanimously.

Three Years In China
Dear Friends of Idaho Springs.

Dear rlenOS OF lQanO Springs.
After 3 years and months absence
from you, my heart is truly grateful to
my precious Lord that He has permit
ted me to be with you again for a
short time, although it was with great
sorrow that left the dear chinese to
whom our Lord had called me to work
among and hope it will not be long be
fore we can take up our work again
and that l can soon return to work
among the darkened chinese. But as
we were to stay at the coast during
the revolut on, felt it profitable and
the will of my Heavenly Father that l
sh ould return home at this time.
Many are taking the privilege at this
this time to return home as they will
not be able for some time to labor
among the chinese. The British and
American Consular had sent word for
all missionaries to leave the interior
for coast cities during this revolution,
in order to prevent foreign powers In.
terfering with China as in 1900 not for
fear of the war, but to prevent an up
rise ag ainst the foreigners which We
feared might be boxer trouble, By
US going to the coast we hope to hinder
the uprise, knowing our chinese chris
tians will be safer than if we were
with them.
| believe you would enjoy hearing a
brief outline of our work at the Cheng
Sing Flu Mission where | have spent
three years. Our main work is pick
ing mp the children who are homeless,
beggars, fatherless and some of poor
families; teaching them to read and re-
cite the precious bible as an American
child wou Id recite piece. This is not
an id oltale to them. They love the
bible and loose all faith in their
mud gods.
| will relate one incident to show
you the braveness of the boys.
Fair day is day when hundreds of
people OF surrounding villages come to
the large cities to worship in the tenn
pies. At these times the boys are sent
with chinese teachers or foreigners
to preach the blessed gospel, it is Won
derful how God uses these chi
nese children, to give out the Word
with boldness, while the chinese stand
in amazement at the way the children
will put down the mud Gods and lift
up Jesus the only true God. One fair
day last year two boys ages Is and 16
years were to Id they could go alone in
any part of the city they chose to preach
Where do you think we found them?
In the idol temple with Holy boldness
denouncing the false mud gods and lift
ing up the only true one. Praise God
he has sent his Holy spirit to unvai
the blinded chinese and they are grad
ually receiving light. They have be-
gun to take the old idol temples for
schools and are beginning to make pub
lie schools for girls in these last few
years for which we praise God knowing
His mighty hand is back of the govern
ment and even at this time of revolu-
ton. Rejoice with US over our Chris
tian President Mr.. Sen, for we know il
is God who has undertaken for China.

Wall Yet
Such is the situation in the cross cut
now being driven on the property of
the the Golden Empire Mining Com
pany at Empire.
This company has been driving what
is known as the Denver City tunnel.
This is now in 600 feet. Twenty feet

a cross cut to intersect two known

one on which the said Denver CITY tun

with ore still showing in the breast
and no signs of a wall.yet. In all ca
ses, liberal quantity of poor looking
rock was added in order to make due
allowance for possible lean spots.
This bit of good news is regarded
with great interest and because of the
ore now exposed in the Denver City
tunnel: this new addition to the vis-
ible ore supply and what they expect
to open up farther ahead, the company
now c"ntemplates the erection of its
own mill at the por tai of the main tun-
mel. An electric power line crosses
the property and there is plenty of
water for milling purposes directly in
front Of the Mine, all the year
round.
The company has been operating as
close corporation during the past six
months and has off cred no stock for
sale to the general public; the capital
for all this development being fur

great credit for the economical and
efficient manner in which the work has
been conducted and the Company has
bright future before it and with a
mill Of its own should be in a position
to make ample return on the capital
invested.
Manager Payne says he thinks they
are now within the matrix of the
Golden vein. assays taken from an
adit above showing $14 SO in gold, sill
yer and copper. That this ore extends
below and with increas ed values, is be-
ing amply vouched for by present re
suits in this cross cut. The Company
proposes to pass on through the vein
until they intersect another Of consid-
cradle Importance still further ahead
and what is known as the Arvada.
Evidently there is the making of a
very good mine here and a consequent
rise in the price of the stock on the
open market. We wish the manage

there seems to be no doubt but what
what the stockholders are being given
a very good run for their money.

Prosecution in Impeachment
Proceedings Score a
Point
MAN WHO SOLD KATY DID

Against Sale to Other
Bidders

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. g.
Forty-six Witnesses for the prosecution
had yet to be heard, and the forty
seventh was still awaiting cross-ex-
animation by the defense, when the
Archibald Impeachment trial was re-
sumed In the senate today. Since
practically all of the testimony heard
thus far from Edward ]. Williams ana
w. A. May has been q repetition OF
that given last spring before the
Judiciary committee of the house. the
senator's and spectators in the gal
cries have had little cause for inter
est I'm the proceedings. The. result or
daily meetings OF the house managers
.or the prosecution thus far mas been
that Rep. CLAYTON has made only the
opening argument, Rep. Webb mas
questioned Williams, the coal specu-
lator, who took Judge Archibald into
partnership and Rep. Sterling has ex-
amined May, the icepresident and
manager of the Hillside Coal & Iron
Co.
May, like Williams, is favorable to
Archibald. He is the man who sold
the atty Did Culm pile. owned by the
Hillside company, a subsidiary OF the
Erie Railroad Co.. to Williams and
Archibald. after he had advised the
company against its sale TO other
bidders. His admission that he
changed his policy regarding this sNie
because OF Judge Archbald's char
acter as a man, In addition to HIS
character as n Judge" Is relied upon
by the prosecution as a distinct step
toward proving that Archbald's ON
ciaI position was the sole motive In
Tuoing the Erie TO sell to the Judge.
Letters from Archibald suggesting
sale to williams and himself were In
troduced In evidence today.
Sessions OF the impeachment court
will henceforth begin at 1880, ana
last until o'clock, daily. The sena-
tors are anxious to bring the compile
ton OF the trial within the originally
estimated time limit. Some OF them
ere disappointed Ia that the case has
not proven a model trial, but has fol-
lowed the ordinary hating course OF

The committee will meet with local

That Is one reason for their exploit
