Colorado Supply company. When the
Morey people took over the firm he
travelled for SO many years it left
him without position, but his worth
is too generally recognized for him
to enjoy vacation of long duration.
Be it said to the credit of the Doyle
Consolidated company they have at
last paid up all bills owing people
and firms in this vicinity for work
done and supplies furnished. A num-
ber of our people are now feeling
better toward the company.-Mancis

of the M. E. church at Pagosa
Springs for the past eight years
leaves shortly for Meeker, in Rio
Blanco county. Members of the COM

The Bayfield, Blade says: Neil
Campbell, who is interested in the
mining claim being developed by Sam
Dowell and others adjoining the Cave
basin section, has resigned his posi-
tion in the forest service and will de-
vote his time to the development of
the promising mining claims. Neil
feels confident that his fortune will
soon be made.
Yesterday M. C. Theoss and S.
Bartlett of the Pine Ridge section
were arrested by Sheriff Fassbinder.
They are charged with killing calf
belonging to the Thompson boys and
burying the hide to keep the act
from being detected. For some time
the peace officers have been on a
quiet watch for those who failed to
recognize the sacredness of a stock
brand from cattle mans point of
view.
Greater activities than ever are re-
ported in the Lila Platas. New claims
are being staked, much assessments
is being done on prospects and the
development work on old properties
is showing handsome returns. Some
properties are changing hands. A
recent sale reported is the claims of
Tommie Williams and Mike Light
foot, on Lewis Mountain, to the
Sweno De Oro Mining company. The
consideration is given as $4,000.
Other sales are pending.
Frank H. Wilcox of Pennington re-
turned from the east last night where
he was called the week previous on
sad mission. His aged mother and
sister were on their way to Farming
ton to visit him and stopped a couple
of days in Nebraska. The heat and
the strain of the journey proved too
much for the elderly lady and she
passed away after brief illness. Mr..
Wilcox was advised by wire of her
death and hastened east to attend
the funeral.
Once more the Gold King at Glad
stone has resumed its former place
at the head of the shippers of con-
centrates in San Juan county with a
record of 1,050 tons for the month of
July. The reliable old Sunnyside is
there also with its usual quota of 625
tons. 1t very seldom varies from that
amount and could easily double it,
were the management so inclined
from the vast bodies of ore opened
up in every part of the mine. The
lowa-Tiger comes next with SIS tons.
