DAN WILLIAMS DIES

Dan Williams, resident of Black
Hawk for years, died in the Canon
City penitentiayy the fore part of the
month and was buried in Mount Oliv-
ct cemetery on the Sth inst. Leak
age of the heart was the cause of
dea'h. Williams was incarcerated in
the penitentiary two years ago, be-
ing convicted of numbering three in
fants in his house in Black Hawk. A
change of venue was taken to Gold
en-, where the defendant thought he
would receive more impartial trial
than he would in his home county.
Upon being found guilty, Williams
was sent to the pen for life. The
details of the crime with which he
was charged are too revolving to'bear
repeating. Williams leaves five or
six children. He is said to have car
ried insurance amounting to $4,000.

SCHOOL NOTES
(By Ruth Tomlin SOM.

(By Ruth Tomlinson).
Last Friday afternoon test was
given the high school students. The
test consisted of one hundred ques-
items, taken from the Independent
magazine. The questions related to
current events, books, authors and
widely known men. The grades were
low and every student was surprised
at being unable to answer some of
the questions. They are all hoping
that when next years test is given,
they will be able to answer more Of
the questions which it would benefit
them to know.
Delbert Taylor was absent from
school Monday. He was spending
his vacation in Denver.

DAVIS VISITS oATMAN

E. w. Davis returned Thursday ev-
ening of last week from California,
where he had gone to attend the fu-
neral of his uncle. Upon his return
trip he went to Oatman, Ariz., to in
vestigate one Of the greatest boom
camps in the history of mining. He
saw w. F. Gray, who went from here
TO Oatman a year ago and became
interested in one of the biggest and
what promises to be one of the rich
est groups Of mines in the Oatman
district. Mr.. Davis says Mr.. Gray
did not exaggera.e in the least in
writing to friends in Central and
telling them of the wonders of the
Arizona mineral deposits and was
right in claiming that veins only six
fest wide are regarded as stringers.
The ore is found in dykes which run
from 80 feet in width to so and 100
feet
Since the excitement commenced
year ago, the population of the Oat-
man camp has increased tremendous
" and everything teens with activi-
ty. There is all kinds of work and
the miners are receiving the top
wages. Mr.. Gray has made good and
is on the road to wealth. He is
heavily interested in the Times group
owns several houses, and is connect
Cd with two banks. Mr.. Davis claim
to Central within a few weeks to at
tend to some business matters and
enjoy short visit with friends.

SENSATIONAL BOOM AT RO[uNSV|L[E
UP BY THE scoRE-oNE HUNDRED SOLD IN MONTH";
FREIGHT BUSINESS IMPROVES THOUSANDS DOLLARS.

One town in tie county is enjoy
ing phenomenal growth and it is
necessary to visit the place every day
or two to keep in touch with the
numerous changes and improvements
and the rapid increase in population.
This is the town of Rollinsville in
the northern part of the county,
which has been dormant the past 12
or 10 years. The place is literally
a bee hive of activity and hustle
Two or three months ago it would
have been difficult problem to have
mustered a corrora,'s guard. Now
the population of Ro,linsville and the
territory continguous will easily num-
ber 500 and this number is being in
creased with the arrival of every
train. Over 100 lots have been sold
in the last month and surveyors are
kept busy laying cut more ground.
The passenger and freight traffic to
the town has reached such gigantic
proportions, the Moffat road put on
another daily train to be known as
the Tungsten Special"
During the past few weeks, the pas.
senger and freight business to Roll
linsville has increased several thou
sand per cent. Before the boom, the
freight receipts of the railroad run
from $4OO to $500 month and is now
averaging $1,000 day. This is for
freight consigned to Rollinsville alone
and does not include that which is
unloaded at Rollinsville and hauled
to NederNand. The Moffat road does
not intend to wait until the commits
sioners OF Boulder county see fit to
repair the road from the Gilpin coun-
ty line to Nederland, but have let
q contract to a man at Steamboat
Springs to bring his plows and grad
ers and rebuild the wagon road to
facilitate the hauling of freight by
wagons and trucks from Rollinsville
to Nederland.
All the business places in the town
are feeling the effects Of the un-
precedented revival. The grocery
store Is doing wonderful business
and the postoffice is swamped, des-
pite the fact that additional help
has been employed. The one hotel
is feeding 100 and upwards ait every
meal and the hungry have to wait
their turns to get a seat at the ta-
bles.

COTTON MARKET WATTS ON

Light Buying by Spot Interests in
Liverpool

NEW YORK. March S.-The cotton
market this morning was dull and feature
less. with the exception of a small supply
from Wall street and light buying by
spot interests and Liverpool the transac-
tions were without significance, The open
ing tone was steady and prices were l to
4 points lower. the largest losses in the
late months. a waiting attitude on the
part of usually important operators was
noted, and discussions of the outcome Of
the political situations in Washington
and abroad indicated the attitude of the
traders.
Liverpool buying of May and october
checked the opening decline. and. when
recent sellers saw that offerings were
being absorbed prices rallied some or
points above last nights closing figures on
covering. Reactions to about last night $
closing figures followed on reports that
the British Government was commandeer-
ing room on the White Star liners for
munitions and grain to the exclusion Of
cotton. but the selling did not become
active or general, and prices ruled steady
during the middle of the morning with
the trade waiting for reports from the
Southern spot markets.
