the attendance of last season, was
present and appreciated the work OF the
local boys, which enabled them 10 win
hv the score Of 81 to 10.
After the first few minutes of the first
period IL was evident that unless the
visitors could show more team play and
more ability 10 break up the team play
Of the home team they could not win.
Dunlevy played the first two periods at
left forward and then retired in favor
of Cavanaugh, who went in ut center.
Harlow moved 10 left forward.
Harlow in the first two periods had
sn almost unerring aim for the basket
and was closely pressed for honors by
Dcnning. In the last period Denning
got one basket and tied Harlow for
heavy scorer of the evening. Flynn
and Boss showed the best work for tho
visitors, although Lincoln held his per.
sonal opponents seoreless.
The game was late in starting as
the visitors did not arrive until the $50
train. A dance followed the game. The

Something TO the
Game of Coli

Why is it that man who does
not himself play the game of golf
has the idea that the fellow who
does is spening his time foolishly?,
asks Col. Bogey of the Denver
Post.
1t must come from the fact that
such man is not familiar with
golf, a game recommended and
played by the worlds best physi-
clans, as the greatest health re-
storer, keeping the young well and
extending the life of the old, be-
sides being a game that holds the
interest Of all who play.
Many man will say frankly
that golf has extended his life and
given him years of pleasure in
place of miserable existence of
pain.
There is no amount of money
that a devotee Of golf will not spend
to travel to the place that will give
him the best course. What an
opportunity for Idaho Springs.
What golf enthusiast would not be
gladfor the opportunity to play the
popular game in our bracing at
mosphere? We are close and con.
venient to Denver. We have the
grounds. We have already organ
lied the Idaho Springs Golf Club.
The grounds are being put in first
class condition. 1t remains only
for our local people to get in be-
hind the proposition and make it
great big success.
Are you a member of the club
Have you gone down to the links
to get started in the game? Have
you challenged d. G.. Holland or
Sam McGinnis, two of the local
experts, to play a game?
Let's play golf.

Daily District Now
Making Good Showing

E. R. Wiley was down from the
Daily district the first of the
week and reports the camp as be-
ing very active.
The Doctor mine, under the
management of Thomas Fisher, is
now one of the leading mines of
the district. A force of twelve
men are now employed, and more
will be put to work as the develop
ment proceeds. A new bunk
house and assay office is now in
the course of construction, and a
power plant is to be installed dur
ing the coming month, also mill
of a daily capacity of thirty tons
will be built at the mine. Large
bodies of concentrating ore have
been blocked out in the mine and
it will be an easy matter to supply
the mill with all the ore it can
handle and also make big saving
on transportation charges.
The Lively brothers are now
operating the Wheeler mine and
have opened up a foot of ore that
will assay 500 per ton.
Operations have been temper
arily suspended on the Clear Creek
Grand property pending the ar
rival of the officers of the company
who are expected here within the
next few days, when the work will
be resumed. E. r. Wiley is de-
veloping his own properties and
has a splendid showing. Several
other mines are being developed
and all are showing up very we'll
and the future for the Daily dis
trict is very bright and rosy.

Chime Clock Is
Already Installed

The big new chime clock which
was illustrated in last week Sift-
ings was placed ON the front of the
First National bank yesterday and
has proved master attraction to
all people.
American people are most Ia
miliar with the famous Westmin-
ster chimes, the most beautiful
and effective ever designed. Orlgl-
mating in the early dawn of the
Christian era in the famous West
minister Abbey, the harmony OF
this chime has spread around
the world. 1t remained for the
First National bank Of | d a h 0
Springs to bring these beautiful
chimes to our city, and that they
are appreciated by one and all is
but putting it mildly.
Every day of the week the chimes
will be sounding their message
to some sad message that their
time is fast ebbing away-to others
a message that now is the time to
do things-the time to save money
for the proverbial rainy day, and
that when placed in the bank 1t
draws interest day and night, grad
ually adding to itself.

Not Now
jeanette

My children used to wear good
clothes,
They held their heads up high;
No leaky shoes exposed their toes,
No rents you could descry.
But now they're images OF woe,
They're blots upon the scene;
For every coin l get must go,
To buy some gasoline.
l used to often give a plunk,
At charity's behest,
To give some wanderer a bunk,
Wherein his bones might rest,
To furnish breakfast for some bo,
Road-weary, starved and lean,
But now my dollars all must go,
To purchase gasoline.
Walt Mason.
