weather man:
When i passed the Blank apartment

every other house I go by. You see, they
keep up such hot fires In those big build
ings that the tenants have to open their
windows to cool Off and, of course, the
heat drifts out and warns the streets"
Her face was about as sociable as
Ratchet, but she was carrying big bum
die. 80 another woman in the car got up
and offered her a seat.
We have found. sisters dear, that it is
venturesome work rendering our seats
to other women in our own age zone.
They seldom realize that tired face or
heavy burden may appeal to some other
woman passenger, who may have been
seated all day and would rather like to

The woman who had given up her seat
and caught on to a strap leaned over the
woman who had developed sociability

CHERRY CREEK
GOLD A CH|MERA
RUSH TO REPORTED BONANZA
LEDGE TURNS BACK WITH DIS
COVERY THAT "STRIKE" IS
APPARENTLY SALTED.

Some things are too good to be
true, and the reported gold strike at
Cherry Creek. was a case in point.
The first reports received appeared
to come from authoritative sources.
and the entire district was quickly
affected with the contagion of excit-
ed expectancy. AS predicted by the
News last Sunday, there was good
sized rush of prospective claimhold-
RS from Ely and McGill, but upon
arrival at the reported big strike for
a personal and intelligent inspection
it did not take long for the more ex-
perienced to get wise to the fact, that
the Cherry Greek gold strike was
mostly fake. A number of samples
of 'ore" were secured and subjected
to an assay, and while in some in
stances there were traces" of the
yellow metal, the trace" didn't hold
good nor lead anywhere. 1t was
quite generally accepted and stated
that the whole thing was a clumsy
attempt to put something over on a
credulous public by the old and obso-
lete sailing" process, but the buy
ers are not so credulous as formerly.
and in this instance were quick to
taste the batting Cherry Greek citi-
zens fell to the craze as readily as
anyone-or at least a good part of
them did, and with others regret that
the wonderful ledge proved to be
"gold plated" instead of the genuine
article. The new camp. and prospec-
tive town site, that a week ago we're
drawing with magnet-like intensity
on mans hopes and expectations, are
now practically deserted, and the
Cherry Greek incident is recalled as
a joke. by those who took the trip.
The balloon blew up so quickly
that no one was subjected to any
great amount of inconvenience or
hardship, which have been associated
with other like promotions in days
gone by. This 'tstrike" was located
in very accessible place, and as
most of those from this part of the
country journeyed thither in automo-
biles, and the round trip at best was
only the matter of about 120 miles,
the investigation developed into an
outing that was not entirely devoid
of interest and pleasure.
