High School Play
million dollar mark .

A Christmas play was presented
10 the High School Thursday
afternoon before a large audience.
1t was a farcial representation
of trial in a court OF law. Kris
Krinkle, alias Santa Claus, was
accused of causing women to
spend their time, and men their
money, foolishly. His accompli-
ces, Plum Pudding, Mince Pie,
Wassail Bowl, Holly Rough and
Mistletoe were accused of causing
frivolity, idleness, rioting, and all
sorts of unseem mly mirth.
The period of preparation for
the play was very short but the
excellent manner in which the
youthful actors carried out their
parts is a compliment both to
them and their instructor, Miss
Wheeler.

IDAHO SPRINGS colo, FRIDAY. DEG 81, 1918
Died on Christmas

Euros Cooper Wright, age 4o,
died at his home on Virginia
street Christmas evening at $50.
Mr.. Wright came to Idaho
Springs last spring from College
Corners, Ind, in the hope of bene-
fitting his health, bnt the disease,
proba bly, cancer of the stomach,
had gained such headway that
the change did no good. He was
a man who was loath to complain
OF trouble and pain and the many
friends he had met in his brief
residence here we're shocked to
learn of his sudden demise.
He leaves wife and two broth
ers who arrived from Indiana, and
an only son, a student at the medi-
Cal college in Denver, who were
here for the fuperal. The re-
mains were shipped to College
Corners, Indiana, accompanied by
the widow and two brothers.

department of the national government
has agreed to supply Clear Greek county

low them to seek the range at the head
Of Sod creek. where they could be fed
at or near tine Sol Nichols ranch and by
allowing them undisturbed freedom for
q season they will adopt themselves to
their nav Surroundings. It il thought
they will stay down to an elevation Of
about 5000 feet during the winter, and
in the summer they will take to the
higher hills and can have the undisputAd

Idaho Springs Boys
In South America

N. j. johnson has received
word from his son, Albert, who left
Idaho Springs Oct. 17th for
South America in company with
Albert A. War; en-, Eric johnson
and Thomas Trelease. The young
men will work at mining for Hal
stead Lindsey in the interior of
British Guiana, close to the equa-
tor. Albert Warren will be in
charge of the mine while Albert
Joh nson will be mine blacksmith.
They went via New York to
Georgetown, British Guiana, and
then up a long river to the inter
ior of the country where the Pc
tiers mine is located.
Their address will be Peters
Mine, Georgetown, Demerara,
British Guiana, South America,
and of course they will be delight
ed to have their friends address
them there. The Siftings will go
to them regularly to carry the
news from old Clear creek and we
hope they will send us frequent
letters telling about the sights and
scenes in the new country and
how they are getting on, as the
"boys at home" will always be
glad to hear from their friends in
the far away land. Their letter
follows:
Nov. 30. 1915.
Dear Folks: We arrived here to-
Iday. We were seven days on the
river. We spent eleven days in
Georgetown. The trip up the
river was fine, sleeping out in the
hammocks every night. One
night we could not sleep for mos
quitos, but every night after that
was fine. We saw alligators but
not very many. We saw only
one snake. The nights are plenty
cool enough for sleep. The
bananas are ripe now. I received
one of your letters the day we
started up here. l don't know
how close we are to the equator
The country seems healthful if a
person takes care of himself.
must close for this time as I have
more to write for this mail.
With love,
Albert.

Years Production
Is Not So Bad

The production of ore from the
Idaho Springs district will COM
pare favorably with any other
year within the history of the
camp. We have not had any big
boom neither have we been on
the bum" The outlook for the
new year is favorable and it is the
general opinion that Idaho Springs
and all Clear Creek county will
witness a great revival of the min
ing industry.
During the year 1915 the w. j.
Chamberlain Ore company bought
1925 cars of ore for which they
paid approx N tel y 100000.
These figures are given by Man.
ager Passmore and are authentic.
The Argo Reduction q Ore Pur-
chasing company handled $1,000
tons of crude ore which returned
value In gold OF Si42.OOO. silver
$4,000 a total value of Sl61 OO0
The Newton mill treated $4,000
tons of crude ore which returned a
concentrated product of 1000 tons
of value of $50 per ton.
This, together with the ores
treated in the smaller mills--the
Reynolds, of Alice; the Katie
Emmet of Cascade; and the placer
gold that has been shipped direct
to the United States mint-will
bring the total production of the
lower end of Clear Creek aoupty
~~sey close to the ti74 ~ ~
million dollar mark.

Two of these resolutions favored

Hague, as well as in other cities of
Holland, are calling for government
action to provide for the payment of
house rent and the necessities of life

MOORCROFT OIL FIELD

An investigation of the Moor
croft oil field, IL miles north of
Moorcroft, Wyo., by V. H. Barnett,
of the United States geological sur
vey, to determine, as far as might
be, the possibilities of the field, is
reported in the survey bulletin, 5S1-
G., recently published. The presence
of oil in this field has been known
for at least 25 years, and many wells
have been drilled in the hope of de-
veloping a commercial pool, but in
only seven of these wells has oil
been found in appreciable amounts.
The amount of money which has
been invested in prospecting n
trying to develop the Moorcroft oil
field is estimated at about $780,
900, which is perhaps, $4,000
more than has ever been realized
from sales of the oil. AS the field
has been thoroughly ~prospected it
probably will never have and great
production.
A copy of the report may be OBJ
tanned free on application to the dl-
rector of the geological survey,

WORK IS PROCEEDING
ON CONTACT PROPERTY

The shaft on the New York is down
so feet. With every round the val
ne of the rock is increasing. On the
Mammoth 80 feet of sulphide ore
has already been exposed and the
tunnel has entered the quartz-por-
phyry intrusive, where the values are
still greater than in the lime.
This dixie is thoroughly impregnat-
ed with sulphide ore and thick clus-
tiers of the high grade material are
constantly being broken into. The
New York and the Mammoth are two
of the big things of the camp. The
Miner expresses this belief without
impartiality, and realizes what has
so far been proven on these prop
critics is equally true of a o or
more of other locations. All that
is lacking now is suitable and suffi-
cient development work to prove be-
yond the question of a doubt that
Contact is a banner copper camp. In
a few days a compressor and ma
chine drills with two shifts of min
ers will be at work on the Nam
moth, and possibly the New York.
The beauty of the situation now is
that sulphide and oxides all look the
same, and both are equally amenable
to treatment. No matter what ores
are encountered they will all pass
through the same process and the
same plant.
Every day adds to the known ore
reserves of these two properties, and
will result in speedy activity on 9TH
err properties of the Nevada company
and other companies and individual
holders of copper bearing claims in
this camp.-Contact Miner.
