Denver.
For the first time in years there
is sorrowful scarcity of mining
men in the upper end of the coun-
ty. All here now are employed,
and every man coming into the
camp can obtain work within few
hours and still the cry for more
men prevails. An example of
this was shown last week when a
man drove a car up from Denver
and the following night went to
work in the Capital. With the
various metals at a high water
mark, a great many of the enter
prises which were idle for years
are being again placed in shape
for operation, and those proper
ties which for years have been
working but half shifts have in
increased their working forces SO
that within another month or two
even the present number of men
employed should be at least dou-
bled.
New machinery is being in
stalled at the Linn mill in the
north end of Georgetown, prepar-
atory to mmencing active work
by the Mid Colorado Mines COM
pany. At the time of closing
down this property some weeks
ago, due to the death of one of the
the largest stockholders of the
company, large shipments of zinc
concentrates were being made
from the mill. AS soon as the new
machinery is installed, Manager
O. Hara anticipates that the saw
ings from the mill will be greatly
increased and the tonnage made a
great deal heavier. The ore is
plentiful at the mines at the Min
eral Chief, il having been stored
in every available place, SO that at
present, without further develop
ment being made, there is enough
mineral on hand to keep the mill
going to its full capacity for some
time.

West mine is preparing a ship
ment of over 40 tons of ore, which
be anticipates being ready during
the week.
Mrs. Eva A. Stevens. Mrs. Mary
A. Bates and Frank Stevens, all of
Idaho Springs, were in attendance
at the County court last Monday
proving up on the will OF w. J.
Stevens, deceased.
Holcombe, Harper and Co.
have started STOPPING on their prop
erty in the Capital mine. Assay
returns from the streak taken the
first of the week showed the usual
high values, especially in gold
which ran much higher than any
test made to date.
We hear on good authority, that
Sheriff Straub endeavored to make
purchase the other day of some
household necessities and when it
came to pay for them found it
necessary to solicit the aid of a
friends pocketbook. Rather hard
on the Sheriff to be denied credit,
but the merchant surely must have
been ignorant Of the identity of
his customer.
The continual talking around
town of the opening of the Sisters
hospital seems to be all volcing
sentiments in its favor. Denver
parties have been communicated
with and present indications are
that if the required financial assist
ance be assured by the mine op-
orators, and with the cooperation
of the business men, once again
the hospital doors will be open TO
the public.

mine and promises to have a big
item for publication in the very
near future, which promises to
open the eyes of the mining
world.
| Manager Phil Graham had his
base ball club lined up last Sunday
against the second team and is
very we'll satisfied with the show
ing made by them. Eddie Appel,
last year a member OF the Idaho
Springs club, has reported to
Manager Graham, and also a catch
er from the Nebraska State League
named Harris. The team as it
lined up Sunday looked good
enough for an, of the best semi
pro teams of the state, and by the
first of next month, when two
more of the hest players of Den
yer will have reported, he feels
that he will be ready to take on
the best teams that Denver now
boasts of, and be victorious.
Ernest Miller came down from
the Santiago last Saturday, where
he is operating lease, bringing
with him a sample of the streak
which he has but lately opened
up. Assay returns give the ore a
value of $50 to the ton, and tho
the streak is now but six inches in
width, the general aspect is that
the streak will increase in width
as a greater depth is attained.
Joe Camplebb. leasing in the same
mine, made shipment last week
to the local sampler which returned
him $50 to the ton. These two,
aud half a dozen other leasers in
the same mine are all in ore, and
as soon as the roads are opened up
a little better, promise to ship
heavily, as they all now have every
available space at the mine filled
with ore awaiting transportation.

Almost Got Shook

A. V. Eldridge, western repre-
sentative of a large tobacco con-
Germ, says he has kept careful
count since he got west of the
Mississippi river, and to date, be
has met exactly 200 people who
barely escaped with their lives
when the Lusitania went down.
In that time he has been in only
three states, Missoui, Kansas, and
Colorado. "If every other state
furnished as many passengers for
the Lusitania as these three states
did, don't wonder that the ship
went 10 the bottom" he said yes
t-rday to Greeley friend. cts
almost enough to make a fellow
think some of these people were
safer than they imagined. 1t

ew of mine.

PAYNE PALMER
 WOULD EQUIP
 BASE HOSPITAL

If the order of Dr. E. Payne Palmer to the war department and referred to the Red Cross Military Relief Service, materializes, Phoenix will become the site of the first military base hospital in connection with the probable Mex. ican campaign. The local surgeon has rendered an offer to the government to fully equip and maintain at his own expense a base or field hospital, pre- ferably the former and to have it in readiness to receive the wounded or sick of the United States army at the first moment required.
 A day or two ago pr. Palmer ad- dressed telegram to Surgeon General Gorgas offering to equip a base or field hospital. His tender carried with it the promise to furnish all necessary surgeons, nurses. supplies and fixtures. A reply was sent in which it was indi- cated that under the army medical de- partment regulations such an offer could not be accepted direct, but could only be made through the Red Cross. His communication was referred to that organization.
 Yesterday Dr. Palmer received the following telegram:
 Washington D. C., June 24, TIC. "Dr Payne Palmer,
 Phoenix.
 Your generous offer to equip and maintain a base or field hospital at your own expense has been referred by the surgeon general of the army to this office which is charged with the duty of organizing assistance for the medical department. A base hospital is a great and very expensive organi zation. Its equipment costs twenty five thousand dollars. A description of it's organization and function is be- ing mailed. Would suggest that you consider the alternative of organizing and equipping a field column which corresponds to an ambulance company and can do field hospital work also.
 Its personnel is five doctors and eighty six litter bearers and other per sonnel. Please reply if you are willing to organize and equip one such. Units pass under control of the medical de- partment soon as called upon in time of war and-are not under control of Red Cross after they pass into army medical service.
 Colonel J. R. Kean.
 Director General Red Cross Military
 Relief" |
 Speaking of his offer to the govern ment which he has repeated to the Red Cross, Dr. Palmer said last even- ing:
 Phoenix can establish at a minutes notice, an adequately equipped bas' hospital and be in a position to imme- diately care for three hundred wounded or sick soldiers. I have arranged whereby I can utilize sufficient of St Joseph's hospital to accommodate no less than that number. Rooms tha now contain but one bed could easil.

June 25.-Willam Rob- ertson and Thomas Snyder Americans, were killed in fight with Mexicans twelve miles east of NacoZari, Sonora, according to information received here today at headquarters of General T. F. Davis, commanding the military dis trict of Arizona Another report late today said third man, John Watson, a watchman, was killed, but efforts to confirm it were unavailing.
 The report to the military officials stated the two men were killed while attempting to catch horses. Whether they encountered Mexican civilians or soldiers or in what manner the shoot ing was brought about was not known here.
 General P. Elias Gales, commanding the Sonora military, has promised to make an investigation, it was said at headquarters of General Davis.
 Snyder was 55 years old and has lived in Sonora for about twenty years. He owned a mine near AriZpe, about 25 miles west of Nacozari. When Americans were ordered to the border

 Colonel Borquez also reports that some time after June 20, an American force three thousand strong, with sev- enty cannons and machine guns, one hundred motor trucks and a large number of mule wagons was at Puerto Las Varas, which is about forty miles east of Fl Valle, and some twenty five miles west of the Mexican Central railway.
 Previously. he says, on June 19, onv thousand Americans sallied to Puerto Las Varras from San Geronimo, to which point they returned.
 In La Cruz, he adds, the inhabitants are reported to have armed themselves to drive the Americans away, it being charged that they carried away two hundred peaceful citizens from the town Eventually they let all but two of these people return to their homes Two they took away, asserting they were Villistas.
 Colonel Borquez reports that many abuses are committed by the 'inva. ders," particularly by the Apache scouts. He says the latter often ar rive at a main camp without prisoner entrusted to them, and when asked re garding the whereabouts of thei

Civil guards replaced the soldiers on the Mexican ends of the two interna- tional bridges tonight. The garrison, having been further depleted by the recent departure of fifteen hundred troops to Villa Ahumada, the Mexican field base, S3 miles south, railway men and others having business connections in the Mexican town said that not more than a few hundred soldiers remained within it's corporate limits. However, on the American side military duthori- ties made preparations as though the entire garrison was in occupancy, it being pointed out that it is possible that some of the troops which have left are stationed in the hills a few miles outside.
