A PLEASANT OUTING

c. B. Weeks, a prosperous finan-
cier from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is here
seeking investment. Wishing a COM
petent trail-blazer for a guide, who
was familiar with every trail and
blazed tree in the northern part of
u. B. Hill, a veteran of many a thrill
ing adventure in early days, and with
a span of Fred Bowden's most noted
steppers, started Monday morning on
their journey.
Their route led them down the
beautiful valley -of Gamble gulch to
Rollinsville and Boulder park, thence
into the tungtsen district, about Ned
erland, and otEer points of interest
to be found in this romantic locality.
Mr.. Hill pointed out to him the old
Ute trail, over which Captain Thorn
burg and his gallant troop of L. S.
soldiers marched to their fatal am
bush, set by old Chief Colorow, in
the early eighties, wherein the en-
tire command lost their lives. He
also pointed out to the unsophisti-
Gated tenderfoot, the far famed Arapa-
hoe peaks, on whose summit the red
skins used to bivouac while watching
the movements of their pale-face
brethren on the plains far to tie
eastward. AS these warlike Indians
have long since passed to their hap
py hunting grounds, and the Grizzly
bear and mountain lion no longer
perambulate the dense forest. Mr..
Hill brought his congenial companion
back in safety to Central City.

WILD ANIMALS BEcoM-
ING A NUISANCE

The Golden Globe, in it's last issue
has long story regarding the plenti-
ful supply of the long-haired planti
grade carnivorous mammals Of the
tUrsidae) family, commonly called
Dears, that are investing the vicini-
ty of Guy hill in this county. The ar
ticle says that these omnivorous ami
mails of the (Ursus Americanus) spec
les are plentiful in this vicinity, that
they endanger the farmers stock and
pig sty, and are so bold as to stop
automobiles upon the public highway
and examine them for sweetmeats.
The article relates that one stopped
Ford car the other day ana held
it at bay until one of the passengers,
more daring than the rest, jumped
out and cranked the machine, and the
explosion caused by the oxygen con-
taminating the hydrocarbon of the en-
gine, scared the bear and he started
down the road on a run with the
Ford in hot pursuit, until the bear
left the main line and took to the
brush.
Our winsome and obliging county
assessor possesses a Ford car that is
used for the purpose of delivering tax
schedules throughout tie different
parts of the county. The other day,
as Jim was traversing that portion
of the county, near Mammouth gulch,
a huge jack rabbit thought to initiate
the Guy hill bear, and planked him
self in the middle of the road, but
Jim sounded his Honk, and the jack
fled down the road with the Ford
, in hot persuit. After running for
about a mile, tie jack took TO the
mountain side, also the Ford. and Mr..
Jack was overtaken, and captured by
the machines impulsion, that jammed
him into the bell mouth of the es-
cape valve. and Sunday the Thomp-
sons were served with a rabbit din
ner free of charge.

OLD TOWN NINE


James Bawden and company, les
sees on the 15O0-foot level on the Old
Town mine in Russell Gulch, have
entered the big ore shoot now being
worked on the 1200-foot level, by
Hutchens and company. They have
driven into it 20 feet and have a
streak OF ore fifteen feet wide, with
neither wall exposed, They have start
ed an upraise, and also started to
sink a winze on the shoot, from the
1300-foot level to connect, they having
leased the ground from the 1900 to
1500-foot level.
Tsy have also leased the ground
west of the shaft, on the 1500-foot
level, and after much dead work, are
just now entering an ore shoot west
from shaft. 1t is to be hoped that
the lessees will reap a fortune from
this ground, that will forever place
them on easy street.

AMONG THE MINES
WOOD MINE

The Wood mine, in Leavenworth
gulch, has just finished sinking two
75-foot lifts. One station being the
350-foot level, and the other being the
425-foot level. The streak of ore
encountered in sinking the entire DIS
tance, will average from eighteen
inches to two feet wide. All the dirt
from sinking of shaft after sorting
out the smelling ore, was put through
the concentrator and over plates, the
concentrates averaging over OF. gold
per ton, and the amalgam from the
plates averaging ozs. gold per cord.
The smelling ore returning from 31a
to ozs. gold per ton. The stations
at these two levels have been com
pleted and drifting will be started
at once ON the above sized streaks
of ore. and ere long we will hear
from the Wood as one OF our main
shippers.
