The third level where most of the
ore at present Is coming from, has
a streak of smelling ore in the
breast one foot wide and a streak OF
concentrating ore two feet wide. The
stope also has a streak of smelling
ore from IL to IS inches wide and
two feet of concentrating ore that

The four, five and, six levels are all
being driven ahead to encounter the
large pocket that is now being work

and which undoubtedly extends down
ward to the sixth level.
This mine is being worked under
the leasing system, as are nearly all
of Mr.. jenkins mining properties, on
fair and equitable terms, where the
lessee may have show to obtain
wealth as well as the owner. By this
system of liberality. Mr.. jenkins is

j. ]. McCreer and brother, who are
driving a tunnel on the Anne lode
IN the Twelve Mile district, are TAX
ing out ore and piling 1t on the dump
awaiting the erection of a mill which
they expect to build next summer.
There are two big veins in the tun-
mel, one 2la feet wide. the other 4
feet. The ore assays from $500 a
ION to as high as $500. The tunnel
is located half mile from the Lon
don mine and the impression is that
the Anne vein is the same as the
London as the ore is identical in
character. By next summer, the

Petitions signed by thousands of
ranchers and land owners in north
western Colorado and eastern Utah,
on the proposed line of the Moffat
road, have been sent to Washington
to Secretary Lane, asking the gov
ernment to take over the Mcffat road
and complete it to the Salt Lake ter
minus. The petition sets forth the
fact that the war in Europe has dis
sipated all hope of the road being
financed by the capital that had been
expected to finish the work and re-
lates that the completion of the pro-
1ect by the government would only
be in line with similar aid extended
to Alaska in building a railroad in
that country. From the repeated de-
lays in completing the Moffat road
through one cause or another, It woul
appear that the logical scheme now
is to have the government come to
the rescue.

GOLDEN WEDDING

Mr.. and Mrs. John Slattery will
celebrate their golden wedding ami
versary next Wednesday, Nov. 25th,
at their residence at the head of
Eureka street. in this city.
Many years ago, there lived in a
remote town in Nebraska two young
sters, John Slattery and Eliza Dunn,
who had the misfortune to be Or
phaned in early years and were both
adopted by family where they grew
up together on a Nebraska farm. AS
years rolled by it became noticeable
that Cupid's dart was sinking deep in
to the heart of Eliza and when the
tocsin was sounded of the wonderful
discoveries Of gold in Colorado in
1860, John prepared to set out for
the new Eldorado the following
spring. After kissing his sweetheart
goodbye he set out on his long and
toilsome journey across the plains
and landed in Central City, where he
began prospecting for the gold that
has placed many a man in affluent
circumstances. The next three years
John spent his leisure hours in
writing sweet-scented billets to his
adored at a postage rate of % cents
per. His labordng hours were spent
in uncovering the treasury vaults that
furnished the wherewith to round out
their declining years as they grace
fully glide adown the shady side of
life.
In 1864 Johns success as a miner
had reached its zenith, and the con-
slant gnawing at the heart strings,
prompted him to return and claim FL
liza as his blushing bride when only
II years old. They at once returned
to Colorado and Gilpin county, where
they have since resided Eleven
stalwart sons and daughters were
born of this union, eight sons and
three daughters, seven of whom are
now alive and live in Central City.
Mr.. Slattery prospected in 1861 in
,, the Wide Awake district and named
the hamlet of Wide Awake, in honor
thinking about his future happiness.
He discovered the celebrated Hawley-
Gardner mine on Quartz hill and took
$4,000 worth of gold ore out in a pei
iod 0. seven weeks, having as part
nep DIR. Kaskill. long since dead.
Invitations are now being distrib-
uted among old friends and kindred
to assemble at their residence that
century, on Wednesday, Nov. 25th,
to celebrate the 50th anniversary of
their welded bliss. High Mass will
be celebrated by Father Naughton of
St. Mary's church at 10 o'clock a. m,
after which Mr.. and Mrs. Slattery
will receive the congratulations of
their myriad of friends who will gath
er around the well-laden banquet
table. This will be adorned with a
huge brides cake bearing the insig-
MIA, "1S64-1914." surrounded by fifty
pure white roses. emblematical of
fifty years OF pure and upright life.
IN the center of the cake will be
placed an embossed card inscribed
Two souls with but a single thought
Two hearts that beat as one"
After the repast the guests will
spend a few hours in reminiscent
mood, and then with many good wish
es. clasp hands over the memories
of the mast and retire from tte scena

PUSHING WORK ON
PENN.-coLo. MILL

The ground i'm the vincinity of the
tunnel of the Pennsylvania Colorado
M. 7. & M. company on the Pine
Greek road. this side of Apex, re-
minds one of well-stocked lumber
yard in a big city. This material is
for the mill and boarding house which
the company has had under course
OF construction for several weeks, but
were delayed in completing due to
the non-arrival of the lumber. The
portal of the tunnel, where the mill
is being constructed and the board
ing house built, is the scene of un-
usual activity and an air of prosper
ity pervades the surroundings.
1t is expected that the mill will be
completed and in operation by the
first OF February. A more conven-
iently located mill cannot be found
in the state. 1t is just down the
side hill from the tunnel portal and
the ore will not Rave to be trans
ported over 80 feet after it leaves the
tunnel. Tie ore car will run right
out of the tunnel and dump its con-
tent into the mill bins. There is ele-
vation enough that from the time the
ore leaves the grizzlies or crusher 1t
will be conveyed through the various
process of treatment by gravity and
will not have to be handled by ele-
vators, which invariably reduce the
profits of mill, If not eliminating
tnem entirely. The plant will be of
ten-ton capacity, thorough amalgama-
ton and concentration system and
will be electrically driven. The pow
er will be supplied by a Boulder con-
cern and the line will be run over
Michigan hill from Perigo. The mill
will be supplied with water from a
spring 100 feet up the hill and will
oe conveyed through six and four
inch pipe line. A good sized gener-
ating house has already been COM
pleted and in this will be installed
a turbine to run a dynamo with the
water before 1t reaches the mill
tanks.
The property of the Pennsylvania
Colorado company comprises NUM-
ber of claims and upon some a great
deal of development has been done
and good-sized bodies of ore opened
up. The main tunnel is in 1000 feet
and from this 400 feet of drifts have
been run. The ore showing in both
the tunnel and drifts is very encour-
aging and the bodies appear exten-
sive enough to warrant the erection
of the mill. Aside from the ore of
q milling grade, there are several
streaks of copper iron that will be
treated by the smelters.
Joseph Espel, who is as courteous
IS he is practical, is superintendent
of the property. and showed the Oh
server man all through the workings
and explained the plans of the COM
pany. He looks for big results and
Indications would certainly justify his
optimistic attitude. Wm. Wright. of
Boyertown. Pa, who is president and
manager of the company. is expected
out in a few weeks and Supt. Espel
intends to have the mill and boarding
house pretty well completed by the
time he arrives.
