FIRST oILPIN COUNTY BOY
TO DIE IN THE SERVICE

Edward John Goldberg, enc of the
Gilrin county boys who left here two
weeks ago today to enter the service
of his country, died at Nogales, Ariz.
Tuesday night, June 4th. The cause
of death was not stated in the tele-
gram, but 1t is presumed that he died
from the effects of the serum that
is injected into the recruits. His
sickness was of only few days dur
aticn rs letters were received by
friends here, written by him last
week and at that time he gave no
irtimation of be'ng i'll. The first
telegram received by his parents
stated that he was ill in the hospital
and tie next one contained the al
armirg news that his condition was
serious. These were received Tues
day.
The officers in charge of the camp
at Nogales were wired yesterday to
ship the body here, where it will be
buried. The Central City lodge of
Elks, of which he was member
Will have charge CT the arrange
E.ents. If FOSSIL lie military escort
will be provided and the first Gilpin
county boy to give his life for his
country's cause will be accorded all
the hCnors BETTING the soldier who
makes so noble a sacrifice.
Edward john Goldberg was son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Goldberg and
was horn in Leadville, April Sth,
1888. He came to Gilpin county with
his parents in 1895, they locating in
Arex. He attended school there and
nine years ago the family removed
to Central, when he took up mining,
and had since worked i'm the various
mines of Gilrin county and the Ned
erland section.
Beside the father and mother, he
leaves four sisters and two brothers,
and innumerable friends in Gilpin
and Boulder counties. His sudden
death is as sad as his life was clean
and his purpose sublime.
Arrangements fer the funeral are
deferred, awaiting advices from No
gales as to the time the body will
be started homeward.

RED CROSS NOTES

Red Cross Week is over and
ttcnks to the efficient work of Mr..
Stuu ard the other members of the
War Council, aided by many willing
hearers, Gilrin county has again
81 own her loyalty to the cause by
raising more than her quota of
two thousand dollars.
Cne of the Red Gross posters says
The Red Cross Means You" and
Americans have been made to see
ard feel that they are not giving to
the Red Cross but that they are U.S.
ing the Red Cross as their agent to
heal ard help the wounded and the
suffering. To quote another poster
THE Red Cross is the Warm Heart
of America" and the people of the
country have proved it by their won
derful sum of One Hundred and Sew
enty millions, which was raised in
lest weeks drive
. N'Ao'N AOeobAS diiipht thS many Pi e
liminary demonstrations which pre-.
coded the actual work was the great
Red Cross parade in New York
City. 1t was proof overwhe Ginning OF
the interest of president and people
and of the vastness of the Red
Cross itself. At one time Fifth av.
enue for three and cne-half miles
was filled from curb to curb with
lines of Red Cross women in theiI
uniforms. The hendred of thous
ands of onlookers must have learned
then, if they did not know before
the extent, the activity, and the war
, led forms of service of the American
official relief organization. To the
intense delight of the people, Presi

placed himself at the head of the

SMELLING CHARGES
WILL BE INCREASED

The following letter has been re-
ceived by ere shippers from the A.
s. & r. company:
Denver. Cello. May 81, 1918.
Dear Sir:
The Director General of Railroads
has ordered a very radical increase
in freight rates uron nearly all COM
modities, effective June 25th This
advance is particularly drastic as mp
flied to rates upon sn elter products,
which will be practically doubled.
The cost of smelling and refining
will also be materially increased by
the increased freight charges upon
coal, coke, limerick, etc.
While tie new rates do not be
come effective until June %, they
will effect all ores purchased by us
during the month of June as it takes
several weeks to sample and smelt
these ores, and load out the bullion
products. 1t becomes necessary,
therefore. to take the new rates in
to account at once in making our
Purchases. 1t will be absolutely nee
essary to make the entire amount of
the advance charge against the ore
as our present operations will not
permit the absorI tion of additional
costs. Please note, therefore, that,
effective June 9Th, we will deduct an
additional " per cent per unit made
short tine ago, and not be in ad-
diucn to this deduction. The inten-
ton is to apply the schedule of Jam
uary 10, 1918, as originally issued,
making deductions from quotations
as fellows:
In the case of lead, we will de-
duct so cents Ter 100 pounds from
the New York quotation, and use
this reduced Quo:at'on in place of
the full New York quotation as here
tofore. In the case of copper we
will deduct 6k cents rer round from
casting quotation upon all grades.
These new rates will apply to all
purchases on and after June 5th,
1918. Very truly yours.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
A GRAND SUCCESS

Tuesday night the opera house was
crowded to it's very doors with the
cultured of the city to witness the
presentation of the drama, "A Pearl
of the Orient" by the High school
class of 1918.
The, drama consis. ed of four acts
and was performed by all with the
case and elegance of natural-born
artists, but there are a few that sre
worthy of individual mention on ac-
count of their exceptional cleverness,
and the mention Of them will in no
wise detract from the laurels of the
others.
Wilbur Richards, as leading man
who was about to he married per-
formed his Part with that ease that
would characterize him as one
schooled in the art, far beyond his
years, and led to the belief that his
manner and grace were inherited.
Mrs. Gill. as Aunt Paradise, the
colored cook, was also hypnotist,
and her mastery of the mystic art
made latent to all that naure had
been Of great assistance in the de-
velorn. emit of this mysterious, power
grant ed but to the few.
MILFORD Fritz as Hemachus Mel
ancthon, proved to be as droll as his
appelation. His ia sal twang and um-
couth manner at a society wedding
brought forth repeated applause
from the audience and convinced his
listeners that he would be star &C.
tor in the movies.
The fourth or closing act was the
wedding with all it's attendant up-to-
date features Systematically carried
out, especially that of little Muriel
Matthews, a mere tot, who acted as
flower girl and proved to be the lit
tile queen of the evening.
Too much credit canrot be given
those who had the training i'm charge
as well as the manipulator of the iv-
DRY keys that furnished suitable
music for every act, and the High
school class of 1918 will go down in
school history as the banner class.
