LYcEuM COURSE FOR
GILPiN COUNTY ASSURED

So many people have asked me
during the last two weeks regarding
the Lyceum course which was pro-

seems necessary. Enough season

practically assure the success of the
course financially and the men on

The bureau has accepted our contract
and assures me they will furnish the

terta1nments who have not been CIV

tickets. This opportunity will be
given them in September when the
money for all tickets will be collect

free text book plan 1t has a num-
ber Of that plans advantages. Where
as, then, the student spent $500 for
books last year he will surely not
have to spend more than $500 this

1t is hoped and expected that the
students and patrons generally will
approve this action Of the committee
and will enter heartily into the plan.
As the rental will be calculated on
the actual cost price no credit can be
allowed. Students must bring with
them sufficient amount OF money
on Tuesday. September 5th, to cover

they must procure. Students can

GREAT ORE FROM THE BUCKEYE

Henry Stahl & Co., leasing the
Buckeye from the Gold Cup Mining
company received settlement for a
shipment Of ore this week that will
be included among the best ever min
ed in the Quartz Valley district.
There was twelve tons in the lot
that ran .921h ounces gold, 1896 sill
yer and 1870 lead to the ton. The
lead values being so heavy there was
no treatment charge on the ship
ment.
The shaft on the Buckeye is only
100 feet deep and the ore was taken
from stope. The shoot is pockety
and the width of the crevice VARIES
from one inch to two feet. The Sec
ton in which the mines Of the Gold
Cup company are located is honey
combed with crevice matter and it
is the belief of Mr.. Stahl that the
mother vein has never been found.
None OF the workings of the group
are very deep-that is not deep
enough, that the ground could be
extensively opened up and big
veins disclosed. This group Of mines
with the necessary development
would doubtless reveal one of the big
gest propositions in the county. The
naturalization is surely wonderful
close to surface and some very rich
ore has been produced.

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH
ASSESSOR THOMPSON AND
COUNT JENSEN ARE THROWN
OUT OF AUTO THAT PLUNGES
DOWN STEEP EMBANkMENT-
RUNNING AT NIGHT WITHOUT
LIGHTS.

j. V. Thompson and j. C. Jensen
have been offering numerous prayers
of thanks to the Supreme Being for
deliverance from death Tuesday ev-
ening. They were returning frcm a
trip to Rollinsville in Mr.. Thomp-
sons Ford, and at $50 o'clock while
running without lights ran off the
road and down Il ten,foot embank-
ment. Neither was injured to speak
Of, Mr.. Thompson receiving two ugly
cuts on the hands from a barb-wire
fence and Mr.. Jensen sustaining a
bruise on his tango leg.
The accident occurred near the
top Of Dunstan hill. Mr.. Thompson
had stopped on the flat to await the
return of w. ]. Stull who was giving
a couple of young ladies a ride around
the auto road under the chaperonage
OF Sheriff Gundy. Mr.. Thompson's
lights falling to burn, he wanted the
Stull car to act as pilot and he
thought he could follow the tail light
Instead of aiding him, the light caus-
ed MIR. Thompson to become confus-
ed and after running little over
100 feet he ran off the bank. The
bank was ten feet high and at the
bottom was wire fence. The car
turned completely over and when the
wind shield struck the ground, the
car was thrown again and when it
stopped was standing on the four
wheels as though it had been driven
into the Dunstan oat field and stop
ped. 1t was the most peculiar acci-
dent that could be imagined neither
Mr.. Jensen or Mr.. Thompson was
seriously injured or killed Is almost
beyond belief.
When the car made the first lunge
sideways, Mr.. Jensen was thrown
20 feet and when he lit, the noise
of the glass, breaking OF steel,
screeching of machinery and the
twisting and bending of tin that ac-
companies a Ford mixup, caused him
to increase his flight to escape the
debris. Mr.. Thompson retained his
presence Of mind and when the car
made the first turnover he slipped
from under the steering wheel and
ducked his head, falling clear of the
machine into the barb-wire fence.
The engine OF the car was still run
ming when Mr.. Thompson gathered
himself together.
Mr.. Thompson got into the Stull
car and was rushed to Central to re-
ceive medical attention. His injur-
les were dressed and after spend
ing a day or two in bed will be
ready for another hair-breadth es-
cape. Mr.. Jensen gathered up the
tools and other loose equipment and
came to Central in Jud Kriley's car.
Mr.. Thompson's car was run into
town yesterday morning and will be
laid up for repairs for few days.

OPENING OF
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
PROF. JEssUP INFORMS STU
DENTS WHEN TO BEGIN WORK
OF TERM NEW SYSTEM OF
RENTING BOOKS INAUGURATEp
THAT WILL MEAN BIG SAVING
TO PARENTS.

All students in either the Grades
or High school who desire to take
makeup axaminatio will be given
an opportunity to do so Aug. 80 and
81. Arrangements must be made to
take the examinations Wednesday
August 80 at 8 a. m.
The Central City public schools
and the Gilpin County Union High
School will open Tuesday. September
5, at 9 a. m. AN children Of Dis
trict No. 1 between the ages of s
and 16 must attend school unless the
have completed the eighth grade.
Children who are six or will be six
by November 18th will be admitted
to the Primary Department. All chill
dren of the county WHO have regu-
larly completed tie eighth grade will
be admitted upon their certificates
to the union high school. Parents
should see that their children start
the first day and that they attend
regularly.
The High School Committee have
been doing everything possible to in
duce eighth grade graduates from all
over the county to attend the union
high school. Although limited in
means during recent years they have
taken great care in the selection of
teachers and in keeping up the school
equipment so that in every way ex-
cept numbers the. school may be said
to have held its own and in some
ways has made progress. With the
intention Of continuing this program
of progress and of furnishing anoth-
er inducement to young peopae-te
attend high school they have decid-
ed to undertake the textbook rental
plan.
Heretofore, the books have been
handled by a local dealer and as high
school texts cost the dealer heavily
by the time his profit was added
the cost to the student was large.
For example, the Freshmen books
last year, If bought new, cost the
student about $500. In the case OF
a poor patron who had two or three
children OF high school age the mere
cost OF the books almost prohibited
their attending. Furthermore these
texts are often used for only one or
two seme esters and although they are
still in good condition are practical
ly never used again and are certain
ly never worn out so that the COM
munity Is sustaining every year an
economic loss of few hundred dol
lars.
Under the rental plan the books
rented to the students through the
teachers at an amount based on the
actual cost of the books. 1t is es.
timated that book will last three
one third the cost of the books will
be charged the students in the be-
lief that by the time tie books are
wcrn out the committee will have
money to purchase new set OF
books. The books will be taken up
at the end of the school year to be
used again the following year by the
next class OF students. By this plan
the patrons Of the high school should
be saved about two-thirds of the
present cost of high school books
and the high school committee shoult
not be out anything because 1t is
believed the rental is high enough

LOWER RATES ASKED
 ON PEANUT PRODUCT
Railroads Cited to Appear Before Commission June
 5 to Answer Request

Montgomery, May N.-tSpecial)-In re- sponse to large demand from farmers of diversified products for reduced rate on such articles as peanuts, peanut meal. peanut oil, velvet beans, velvet bean meal, soy beans, corn shucks and other similar articles, the state public service commission has cited the various railroads of the state to appear before that body on Monday. June 5, and show cause why they should not establish lower rates on these commodities.
 The citations were sent to the carriers of the state by Atticus Mullin, secretary to the commission, who also sent copies to tho manufacturers of peanut oil, vel vet bean meal, and others who are mak- ing a speciality of manufacturing such products.
 It is thought the reduction of the rate on the several articles enumerated above will stimulate interest in diversified farm ing. For some months past the commits sion has received numerous requests that it use its efforts to secure reduction in rate on peanut oil, hulls and similar articles, and the citation to the carriers is largely in answer to these petitions.
 The commission sent out citations to the manufacturers in order that they might be present at the hearing on June g. and it Is expected that they will be largely represented at the meeting.
