Held as Alleged Deserters.

Statements Of the soldiers that the
blood had spattered on their clothes
while they were witnessing a sheep
killing were not believed by the
Washington detectives. and they so
stated. At that time they had -
had an opportunity to converse with
Gamble and Newman. who had been
turned over to the military authori-
ties at Camp Lee. Petersburg, as al
legged deserters. The detectives learn
ed that the soldiers. who were accom-
panied by Mrs. Burgess. had been ar
rested in Richmond sor driving the
stolen automobile on the wrong side
of the street, and, being without
much cash capital. were unable to
gain their liberty
Police examination OF the car. re-
vealing the uniforms beneath a seat
OF the automobile. convinced them
that the men were soldiers. and prob
ably deserters, and military authori-
ties at Camp Lee did not hesitate to
take charge of them. They were
taken to the camp and placed in the
guardhouse, and probably would have
been returned to GAnburnie for court

Mining Activities Of
Upper Clear Creek

J. III. Lewis and company.
leasers on the Scepter property,
are meeting with well deserved
success in their efforts to again
place the property on the pro-
duction list. 4 good force is EN-
ployed, and shipments are to be
resumed in the near future.
There is very noticeable act
ivity in mining circles that BODIES
much for the entire county as there
are numerous inquiries for prop
critics that can be made to pay with
the judicious expenditure of money.
To the writer's way of thinking,
Judging from an extensive and
varied experience, the best pro
position for parties with limited
capital to tackle is prospect" in
good locality, and with reason
ably fair showing The reason is
obvious.
Andy Watt was in town the early
part of the week placing in escrow
lease and options for his property
on Silver Creek to a syndicate of
Denver capitalists, who are pre-
pared to carry on campaign of
development that is bound to be
productive of the very best results.
The property adjoins the 10 Rey-
nolds, which has been and is still
one of the best producers in the
county.
The cross.cut of 700 feet which
was run from the lowest workings
of the 10 Reynolds. has reached
the Two Sisters vein, and estab-
fishes the permanency of the mine
as a producer. The ore is of the
usual high grade for which the
surface workings were noted, with
streaks varying from 6 to IA inches.
The vein has been intersected
about 200 feet below the old work
ings, thus giving a large territory
of mineralized ground thatis bound
to return handsome profits. SO
pleased are the operators with
their showing that there is some
talk of pushing Princess of India
tunnel ahead 11OO feet and inter
secting the vein about $50 feet
below their present workings
This move would obviate the nee
essity of hauling, as the portal of
the tunnel is within short distance
of railroad tracks.
