Owen Now Starting
the Gum Tree Mine

John Owen started small
force of men at work on the Gum
Tree mine at Freeland this week
They are now busily engaged in
cleaning up and putting the shaft
in condition for vigorous cam
paign of work during the summer.
As soon as the roads are in con-
dition to haul coal to the mine,
steam will be raised and work
commenced in full blast.
The Gum Tree is one of the best
properties in the Freeland dis
trict that is noted for large bodies
of silver-lead ore. 1t is the in
tention of Mr.. Owen to extend the
levels and also to stope out ore
from the ground that is already
opened. In the past the working
Of this mine was expensive on ac-
count of the immense inflow of

New Bank Planned
for Idaho Springs

If present plans do not miscarry
Idaho Springs will have four banks
before the middle of next week.
Application has been made to the
state bank comptroller for charter
for "The State Bank of Idaho
Springs, with a paid up capital
stock of $4,000. The signers of
the application are A. A. Slower,
III. A. Elliott, W. &. Arkills, Her.
bert johnson and Adolph Nelson.
It is understood that r. Z. Schir-
mer, Joseph Meyer and number
Of others are also back of the pro,
posed new bank. Representatives
of one or two Denver banks were
here during the week to interview
certain business men and obtain a
general view of the existing con-
ditions locally. There has been
some talk of the new bank loca-
ting, temporarily at least, in the
tOOAA INV sOOSullCd ny tue Nolu
Electric company, and the electric
company would then move next
door. Several locations, however,
nfb understood to be under consid-
Grafton and the Siftings has not
learned definitely the full details
of the plans, as Mr.. Stover, who
will be cashier, is out of the city.
A general protest against the es-
tablishment of fourth bank in
Idaho Springs has been registered
with the state banking department
by the three existing banks and it
is the opinion in some quarters
that a charter will be refused.
When Geo. E. McClelland and
associates secured control of both
the Merchants and Miners and the
First National banks it was gener-
ally understood that a merger was
to be effected, but this has not yet
been accomplished and its realiza-
tion may not be concluded for some
time, if at all.

Foul Air Causes
Partial PARALYSIS

Bert Wright, A. NJ. Atkins and
John Morrow, while working in
the Bellevue Champion mine at
the head of the canyon, putting
up gallows frame, we're partially
overcome by foul air and with
difficulty made their way out of
the place. After getting to the
surface they revived and none of
them thought any more about it
until last Saturday morning when
Mr.. Morrow became partially
pafalyzed on his right side. He
at once consulted DR.. Fraser, who
applied well known remedies but
the case refused to yield to treat
ment, and Mr.. Morrow was advised
to go to Denver, and enter St.
Joseph's hospital which he did last
Wednesday afternoon He was
accompanied to Denver by B. j.
Jacobs.

Citizens Ticket Carried
Without Opposition

In snow storm which con-
tinued thruout the day the voters
of Idaho Springs went to the polls
in good number last Tuesday and
reelected the present board of
alderman, advancing E. NJ. Mos
cript to the office of mayor, and
electing James Underhill and
Horace Jones to places on the
council now held by G.. G. Stumm
and Mr.. Moscript. r. V. Peecher
was elected city clerk without
opposition to succeed B. A. Holley
who declined the office.
Again Idaho Springs is able
to obtain the services of its lead
ing business men to administer
the affairs of the city, VIII o
voluntarily relinquish the salaries
allowed them by the law and devote
themselves to the public service,
solely in obedience to tn e ir
patriotic feeling and desires for
improvement of municipal con.
ditions.
The new officers will be sworn
in on Monday evening, April 16.
Mary Pickford is indeed
versatile little actress. At the

beautifully portrayed, and even
at close range the features are

OF course the curls help. Such
plays are worth while. No one
can be harmed by them, and iu-
calcula BILE good must be done by
the showing of such a picture.

Former School Head
AttainS Prominence

Mrs. Elizabeth Gleason, county
school superintendent, recently
received copy of an address made
by Milton G. Potter to the meeting
of the National Association Of
Superintendents at Kansas City.
AS Mr.. Potter was superin-
tendent of schools in I d a h
Springs, it should be a matter of
interest and pride to us to know
that he is one of the most widely
known and highly esteemed school
men OF the country. Milwaukee
invited him to become her super
intendent, as he had such signal
success in St. Paul. He is still
the head of the Milwaukee school.

Wonderful Result OF
Mining Engineering

After many months of difficult,
expensive and dangerous work,
connection was made last Monday
with the shaft of the Prize mine
by a raise up on the vein from the
level of the Argo tunnel. The
old shaft on the Prize vein had
been sunk to the depth of $50
feet and the raise is $40 feet high,
making distance of 1870 feet
from surface to the tunnel level.
A cross-cut 70 feet in length was
driven from the top of the raise
to connect with the shaft but the
raise will be continued on for
another hundred feet, where it will
connect with the shaft on the same
pitch that it has carried all the
way up, thereby giving a direct
connection between the surfa ca
and the tunnel level.
The survey for this work was
made by w. A. Funk, the we'll
known mining engineer Of this
city, and when everything con.
nected with the work is taken into
consideration it is one of h Q
finest pieces of engineering ever
accomplished in this county or
state.
The old shaft Of the Prize mine
was first surveyed from top to
bottom, then line was run to the
Grand Army shaft from the sur
face, thence down that shaft and
thru 100 feet of a drift to the
Gunnell workings, thence thru
these old workings on down to the
level of the Argo tunnel, from
there back to the starting point of
the raise, thence up the raise to
the top, where the line of the
crosscut was located and the cross
cut driven accordingly, and con-
nection made with the shaft within
less than two inches of the
original calculation.
The work had been watched very
closely by number of our prom
inent mining men, all of whom
are pleased and most of them sur
prised at the accuracy of the
original calculations made by Mr..
Funk.
The Prize mining company have
had long, hard seige of expensive
work to accomplish this end, but
under the able management of a
practical miner and engineer, 0.
Barlow Willmarth, they now have
a mine opened which will without
any doubt prove to be one of the
best in the two counties.

Still Getting Packages

Judging from the liquor receipts
for March-235 packages-t h e
people of Clear Creek county who

the closing of the saloons. Idaho
