Through some loose playing after
the fifth inning, the Gilpin Mines
lost to the Nederland team in the
latter town Sunday, by a score of 8
to T. In the five innings, the score
was 2 to l, in favor of Central. AT
ter that 'Curley" Dunn muffed two
flies and a grounder in left field,
enabling the Nederland team to set
three or four runs. u For these errors,
'Curley" has sacrificed all chances
OF ever signing with the New YorlQz
or Bostons.
The Central team was also weak
ened IN the first of the sixth inning,
when Waldhart, the catcher, had to
be relieved on account of an accident
He was running to catch a ball, and
stumbled over wire and broke a
bone in his hand. Shinherr pitched
for the Centrals, but did not show
UP very well.

game with Central For this game

MINING INDUSTRY TO
BE ADVERTISED

The plan of T. r. Henahen, state
commissioner OF mines, to held a big
mineral industry parade in Denver
during the knights Templar conclave
in August, was enthusiastically en-
dosed by the executive committee Of
the Colorado Mining and Metallur-
gical Association at special meet
ing held in Denver Friday, in the
state capitol. Resolutions were adopt
ed declaring that 1t is the best idea
advanced in recent years to give en-
couragment to prospectors, miners
and investors, and calling upon the
mineral counties to give their finan-
cial and mcral support to the pro-
ject.
The executive committee meeting
was attended by prominent mining
men from all parts Of the state. Com
missioner Henahen, in presenting
tering upon a mining revival and that
this is the appropriate time to give
mining proper encouragement. The
mining communities, he declared,
have been slow to exploit their re-
sources and invite capital. Too much
has been left to individual effort.
The parade Will tell the story of
mining, from the first discovery to
the present time. 1t will show to
the 100, 900 visitors the great resour-
ces Of Colorado and the opportunity
for investment. 1t win appeal to the
people to visit the mining camps and
obtain further information about how
the nation obtains its wealth. Com
missioner Henahen believes the par
ade will be the most startling pre-
sehtation of the mineral resources
of the state that has ever been de-
vised.
Among the lighter features will be
typical scenes of mining camps show
ing that the miner makes money very
quickly and SPENDS it freely, that he
Is engaged in a serious business but
greets life with smile. The main
feature of the parade. however, will
be its educational value, the floats
being presented in such fashion that
the visitors will be instructed and
entertained. A burro train of 300 ami
mails and mule train fully equipped,
ore wagon trains, typical prospectors
and other features equally interest
ing. The counties will be urged to
be represented by one or more floats,
representing their mineral resources.
They will also be requested to pre-
pare literature on the resources of
their county, to be distributed to the
visitors and to open headquarters in
Denver during the week, where visi-
tors may obtain Information. 1t is
expected that as a result Of the par
ade, thousands OF visitors wild go to

worth millions of dollars to the min
