Mining Activity in the

Manager Terry has all the pre-
liminary work completed and is
now ready to push the Hall tun-

already intersected by the tunnel.
The Colorado Central mill is

of June. An increased force is
again employed in the mine, the
development proving the stupen-

The recent strike reported on
the Ruler vein by the Onondago
company continues to improve in

more development regular pro-

ore is heavy galena, carrying good
values in silver and lead and

reserves ahead of the production
is the one which insures success
and if more extensively followed
we would have more paying mines.

a substantial brick building, the
plans and specifications for which
are now being made by promi-

1t was at first thought the present

an expert examination showed it
would cost more in the end and
give less satisfaction, hence the
determination to utilize the old
brick and construct an entirely

mission to construct and extend
the state highway within the city
limits of Georgetown SO as to
make an equitable grade between

was IA keen disappointment to
those who advocate the building
of such road.
The state highway commission
has declared it state highway;
the attorney general has ruled that
they had perfect right to make
such declaration; but the county
attorney has held otherwise, hence
the failure of the commissioners
to act.

Bank of Clear Greek county. met
with the commissioners and offered
to give his personal bond for
double the amount of $3.50 asked
of the county as its share of said
construction, so as to indemnify
the commissioners and the county
against any action that might be
brought.
The state has appropriated
$500 towards the construction
and asks the county to put up
$3.50.
Those who are enthusiastic re.
garding the construction OF the

they regard this piece Of road with
