oLD-TIMER VISITS COUNTY

Judge w. v. Webb, of Spokane,
Washington, is here reviewing the
localities where portion of his early
days was spent.
Mr. Webb, with three brothers by
the name of Brown, started from
Bureau county, Illinois. in the early
spring of 1860 for the golden Eldorado
of the west. The party outfitted at st.
Joe. Mo-, and their camp wagons
were hauled across the plains by two
cows one blooded bull and five steers,
making four yoke of cattle, and after
"a days of toilsome journeying, arriv-
ed in the tent city of Denver. At
that time Denver's one million dollar
Brown palace was not erected for the
accommodation of new arrivals, and
they had to content themselves by
sleeping beneath their wagon cover
The party wended their way to Black
Hawk, then the largest city in the
Rocky Mountains, where they estab
lished themselves on a ranch below
the city and established a stock farm
known as Brown Bros, and Webb
stock ranch.
Mr.. Webb was for several years
manager OF the Douglass mill, a 20
stamp affair, located in Chase gulch,
and considered the largest mill in the
camp at that time. He is one of the
few living, who attended the celebrat-
ed Van Horn execution on Bates hill
in 1860, when the condemned rode be-
side the driver who. was carrying
his coffin to the place of his execu-
tion. In the late sixties, Mr.. Webb
drove overland to Salt Lake and to
California and thence to Helena, Mon
tana. and mined in the celebrated AL
der gulch, said to be the richest plac-
er gold gulch ever discovered in the
Rocky Mountain region. He is now
living at Spokane, Washington, in
easy retirement at the age of so
years, and is on tour of inspection
of the country traversed by him
over half a century ago. He says
these everlasting mountains are the
same. but those that knew him here
In early days, know him no more,
having passed to that heavenly land
from whence no traveller returns.

It stratifies the material as 1t pro-

tops of the rifles, while the metal

THE PARTY THAT WILL WIN

The party that wins in Colorado
this fall, will be the party that places
the lawabiding and sane business
man upon the ticket. The party that
is short sighted enough to place a
professional politician on its ticket.
Will go down to defeat. The Colorad
voter has become disguised with the
misleading and slick politician and
will have no more Of their cavil.
Therefore let the Democratic party
select men OF known integrity. to be
placed upon their ticket. and keep
the troublesome and repulsive office
seeker in the back ground, and they
can win the election.
