The New Zealanders

The second one in the course
OF the four lectures and entertain
ment that has been arranged for
the winter was given at the Opera
House on Wednesday night. 1t
was given by the Raweis family,
the New Zealanders. This family
was here several years ago and
highly entertained the people, as
they did on this occasion. The
lecture ON New Zealand and its
wonderful development from saw
agery TO the high standing that
the people maintain today, plac-
ing them in the lead Of older ma
tons III many of their customs,
business and educational attain
ments and civil form of govern
ment, was highly entertaining and
Instructive, while the pictures
thrown on the screen showed the
savage condition of the people OF
SIXTY years ago as compared with
their high degree of enlightment
and civilization, combined with
their wonderful educational sys-
tenn, We're very greatly appreciat
ed by the audience. The perform
ers were greeted by a fair audi
ence and very attentive and ap.
prcciative one. Those who have
gotten up these lectures for the
entertainment of the people
should receive all the patronage
possible and should be greeted by
a full house, as the different mum
bers OF the course are of a high
order of entertainments. The
next number will be a choice and
artistic as well as a practical maj
steal one

Enjoyable Entertainment

The entertainment and moving
picture show on last Monday
night under the auspices of the
Ladies Guild of the Episcopal
church, at the Opera House, was
a grand success and those who at
tended were amply repaid. There
was large attendance. Among
the very interesting parts was
the song entitled the "Holy
City" as sung by Miss Airline
Hardin. She has a very sweet
voice and her expression and de
livery is such as to attract special
notice and command the most in
teresting mention. She is always
good. The song by Tom Evans
also was very meritorious and
highly appreciated by the audi
ence. The entire program by the
Guild is worthy of special men
ton and high praise.

NO CHANGE IN FREIGHT

1t has been reported that the
freight train that has been run
ming daily between Golden and
Idaho Springs will be reduced to
service of three times a week.
In conversation with Agent
Coughlin of the Colorado and
Southern railroad he assures us
that this report is a fake and that
the combination freight will run
each day as heretofore. The only
change is that the combination
leaves Golden at 7 As A. NJ. in
stead of 7 100 A. NJ, arriving here
at 1O:1O A. M. This train has had
a service as far as Silver Plume
every other day and the change
in leaving Golden gave rise to the
report in the Denver papers that
this same service applied to Idaho
Springs, which is a mistake. We
will get the daily service here as
heretofore.

Visit of Old.limerS

On Friday night last week two
ladies registered at the Bellvue
Hotel. One of them was Mrs. w.
d. Hayes of Hastings, Mich, and
the other was Mrs ii. NJ Amcs
Of Denver. They were here for
the purpose of looking over the
old scenes of their girlhood. In
1861 their father came here with
his family and stopped for a short
time at old Masonville. He then
came to Idaho Springs where he
lived until 1864 at which time the
family left. These visiting ladies
drove down to the site of Mason
vile but all they saw was the
familiar mountains. They saw
two placer miners that reminded
them very much of the old times.
They also drove to Russell Gulch.
y brother named Fritz James Coo
per enlisted in the United States
service along with Mike Graeff
and together they served in the
army the greater part of the civil
war. The ladies met him, Elder
Griswold, Ed Erickson and Mrs.
Dlantha Edwards and said they
were well repaid for their visit
here by exchanging "reminiscences
Of the early days of 81. They left
on the William Steamer for Gold
en- and Denver.

Argo Mill Busy

The Argo mill at the Newhouse
dump is pounding away on the
large supply of ore that is being
furnished it from the various
mines in the Newhouse tunnel
every hour in the twenty-four
each day. With the increased ia,
cilities that are being provided
for, the tonnage that can be mllled
will also be increased and Mr.. OFT
F. Heiser is exercising his best
and most practical ability and In
genuity to see that everything is
so arranged and managed as to
produce the very best results. lie
is one of the busy men who does
things and does them in the high
est degree of economical efficiency
and employs just such men as ne
knows will perform their work IN
an intelligent and industrious
manner. Hence there can be
nothing else but the best OF sue
cess.

$1,000 A DAY

At the w. J. Chamberlain sam
pier Fred Wiley, the superintend-
ent, has been as busy as an ac-
tive honey bee III honey
making time. The amount of
work that has been done in
the sampler is very large and
an average of one thousand
dollars a day was paid out dur
ing the month OF November for
ore. The sampler is kept busy
and there is large tonnage on
hand for treatment while the
amount that is coming in and
ready to come i'll is also large
Mr.. Wiley states that the outlook
for the coming year is first class
as there is an increase in the vari-
ous mines of the output that be
tokens "a glad New Year and a
constantly increasing ratio of the
same during the coming year.
This is good news from a most
reliable source and source that
is not carried away by any mo-
mentary impulses but based on
thorough business facts.

PROTECT THE MINER

According to the latest stats
ties giving the number of deaths
of employees in mining industries,
out of each 1000 thus employed:
In Belgium the average was one
man in each thousand; in Great
Britain and France an average of
one and 'one-half; in Germany two
and one-half, while the American
death rate was three and one-half.
During the last three years the
mines and quarries of the United
States have sacrificed over 10000
human lives, while over 250,000
have been temporarily incapaci-
tated from work. Hence it is high
time that this country take dras-
tic measures, national and state,
to reduce this excessive loss OF lie
and give every possible protection
to men who risk their lives and
health to bring forth the mineral
products of the earth for the ben
eft of mankind. This death and
,JuI tu IdlC SilOulu dJ 1tdSU Dt
brought down to the level of other
nations where the loss and injury
is SO much less. Laws have been
made that have reduced this below
what it was before the enactment
and enforcement of such, but
there is room for great improve
ment as yet. With over a million
men working under ground, these
honest toilers should be placed so
far ahead of the dollars that there
could be no comparison. The
money expended in protecting
these underground laborers should
only be considered merely a baga-
telle as compared with the human
life saved and the misery and suf-
fering that would be removed, and
no one but the close-fisted, cold
blooded, money-grasping, shark
greed, miserly and shriveled-up
heart would begrudge any of the
money thus righteously appropri-
ated.

MINES and MILLS

Ia larger output of ore at present
N this camp than has been char
acteriZed for a long time in the
past. In fact the year 1914 has
been marked by such activity.
The mills in operation have been
busy while others have been over
hauled and made better adapted
to the work required of them.
There have been frequent IN
quiries in reference to the camp,
its opportunities for Investment,
and the general nature of the mln-
ing district. These are the fore
runners of greater mining actiy-
tiles all along the line OF ushering
i'll brighter days and prosperous
times.
The Mosher Leasing associates
who are working the lease on the
Lake mine through the Big Five
tunnel have had very successful
month. They shipped in "Novem-
Der about 400 tons of smelling ore
and concentrates to the sampler
and about the same tonnage OF
400 tons of mill dirt to the mills.
The Newton mill worked over
about half of this amount while
the balance went to the jackson
and other sources. Their lease is
now turning out the same grlst OF
good ore and the outlook for a
long continuance of the same and
also of making general increase
is excellent.
w. r. Mcclellan left for his
home in Greeley on Monday morn
ing after having spent some three
weeks in this section directing his
mining operations. He has men at
work in the tunnel that is being
driven on his property near the
Little Matte. Mr.. Mcclellan has
been developing this property for
about eight years and is very SAN
guine of his success. He has some
good ore showing up and he Is
sure this will increase until he will
have plenty Of good shipping ore.
He is entitled to this reward for
his patience, perseverance, and
confidence.
A large mining deal is pending,
involving one of the big mines OF
this section. A gentleman from
the tungsten section of Boulder
county and who is largely inter
ested in such mines spent the first
of the week here looking over
property as a representative OF
some Denver capitalists. 1t is un-
derstood that the property in view
is one that presented a very ia
vorable appearance. The visiting
gentleman is an office holder in
Boulder county and was selected
for this mission on account OF his
mining knowledge and the sue
cess he has made. The parties who
are behind him in this investiga-
ton are men who can carry
through any proposition they un-
dertake.
J. D. Armstrong came up from
Denver on Monday evening and
remained here until Wednesday
morning, during which time he
visited the Ben Harrison mine
near Lamartine of which he and
Mr.. Williams are owners. Mr..
Armstrong and his brothers have
a lease on the same property, and
his visit was to see what progress
the men employed were making
and what is the showing from a
mineral standpoint. He expressed
himself as well pleased with the
present conditions and the general
outlook. Like all good people who
come here he is very enthusiastic
over the signs of the times for in
creased interest and development
in mining in this part of Clear
Creek county.

Newton-Annex Repai' S

The Newton Mill Annex is now
receiving its finishing touches be
fore starting up, Which will be
sometime next week. Manager
w. E. Renshaw is watching the
work as it goes on to see that
everything is done III a thorough,
systematic and business like man
ner as he intends having a most
efficient, labor saving and value
saving mill. He has E. +. Gus
tafson, a practical and efficient
mill man, as the head of a force
that is doing the mechanical
work. A hoist has been installed
to elevate the ore to the bins in
the top of the building and then
it is fed into the crushers, after
which it goes into the stamps and
on the tables, or amalgalnating
plates, according to the location
of these. A compressor has also
been installed to run the hoist.
There are twenty stamps that
will be operated in connection
with the concentrating tables,
lccated at the west side of the
mill, while on the east side are
ten stamps that will be run in
connection with the amalgamat-
ing process. The machinery in
the mill is all put in first-class
condition for the most successful
and mineral saving. Mr. f. F.
Gustafson will run the mill.

dollars. and compared with our other
industries, II Is surprisingly large and
Is already close TO the front rank in

in Utah, and with increased trans

grow here as a matter of course.
But why enumerate any more OF the

them all, To the everlasting glory
OF the state and the generation that

There is no material more exquisite
