Denbigh Assets Will
Be Sold at Auction

At meeting of the DeDbigh
Silver-Lead Mines company held
in Georgetown last week, it was
decided to dissolve and sell the
assets of the company at auction.
This will give the minority
holders a chance to bid in the as
sets of the company. However,
they will probably not do SO, and
after the first Of the year work will
no doubt be continued on a larger
scale.
Last summer stockholders OF
this company decided to reorgan-
ize. After this had been done,
some of the stockholders objected
and the matter has since been in
the Massachusetts courts, more or
less. and $4,000 Of working capi-
tai has been held up. Since that
time Mr.. Bushnell Of Georgetown
has been carrying on work in a
small way.
But for litigation, large force
of men would have been employed
and large bodies of ore carrying
good values would be producing.
w. Fl. Staver of Idaho Springs
and H. s. Bushnell Of George
town are interested in this pro-
perty.

Funeral Of Democrats

There is some talk of holding
the democratic National Conven-

pliment to the state whose votes
reelected Woodrow Wilson on the

because OF the argument that Cali.

about as complimentary as il
would be for number of friends
to give man a surprise party be
cause he had sold gold brick to
one OF friends, and for this
reason California would hardly
appreciate it. But there might
be something appropriate in Civ.
ing California a chance to see the
convention because of her unfa
miliarity with such exhibitions.

Mining Mention From
Georgetown District

A very important strike has
been made in the Tobin mine in
east Argentine, which is being
operated by the Seven Metals min
ing company. Eighteen inches of
ore has been encountered that re-
turns we'll in silver and lead, with
a small percentage of gold, giving
returns of 500 to $3.50 per ton.
It is reported on what seems to
be reliable authority that the Gen.
tennial, which is located within
the town limits, is to be started up
in the near future under the man.
agement Of Tallmadge Kyner.
There are large ore reserves in the
mine, but owing to its present
physical condition much time and
money must be expended before
any of this ore can be extracted.
1t is reported that the Dives
Pelican-7: 7:30' properties are soon
to resume operations under the
management of Col. j. H. Robe
son, who is. we'll fitted to place
these valuable properties on their
production of former years, when
they We're among the largest pro-
ducers in the county. 1t is safe
to say that with the coming of
spring these mines will be giving
employment to from $50 to 200
men. bringing Silver Plume and
Georgetown back to their early-day
activities in mining.
Taken as whole, the future of
upper Clear Creek has very much
improved within the past month

When plans are perfected an article
will be fou1d in this paper giving
information OF the Victory Shoot
day"
QuestiOn.-Whst are the prevail
ing symptoms for trapshooting this
year? DO you think the price OF
ammunition will prevent many from
participating in the shoots? Is there
any effort being made TO promote
the sport. II so what are the pro-
posed plans? d. T. r.
Anderson. Ind.
Answer--The indications are that
this will be the banner year for trap
shooting. Many new clubs are be-
ing organized and old ones are
springing up in many places. The
determination to send a trapshoot-
ing team OF 10 men, with all ex-
penses paid, to participate in the
next Olympic games has stimulated
an interest and created much talk
among the followers of the sport
The price of ammunition has not
raised dispOrportionately with other
commodities. When il Is consid-
cred that labor represents so per-
cent Of the cost Of shells and labor
In this line is Chased as skilled, the
price is comparatively low. No, the
shell cost Will not prevent the red
blooCed sportsmen from participant
ing In the tournaments. Canadians
will contest in the G.. A. II. this year

TALABER WINS
WRESTLING BOUT
Imre Fails to Throw Chicago
Boy and Loses Handi-
cap Bout.

After an hour and a half of the
most gruelling kind of work, re-
fierce Lou c. Christopher awarded
the wrestling match held at Mag
var hall Saturday night 20 Louis
Talaber Of Chicago II was a han
dicap affair, Talaber giving away
so pounds to Istok Imre, his op-
ponent
At the start Of the match Tala-
Der was cautious and took no
chances with his heavier opponent,
but at that he was the aggressor
during the greater part OF the
match. Imre was introduced at the
Hungarian Champion" who had
agreed to throw Talaber twice within
an hour and half. He will now
advertise himself by some other
name, as Lou proved that he had
misnamed himself. Talaber weighed
16s while Imre weighed in the
neighborhood of 22O. He looked as
If he had been dining well Of late.
After the referee had called zone
hour" Talaber began to take many
chances, and several times it looked
as if it would be curtains for the
fat boy, but he was able TO wiggle
out of Talaber's holds with the help
of his weight.
Talaber's manager, Joseph La
vine announced that Talaber would
wrestle any man in the world up to
16S pounds.
In the preliminary bout Joe Sabo,
a local boy took the measure of
John Wagner, a lightweight wrest-
Ter of Chicago in handy style. This
is Joe's third appearance as a wrest-
Ter. and several wrestling promo
tors who were there last night put
Joe's name down in their books.
Sabo won the first fall in 10 min
utes and 40 seconds, the second in
six minutes and ten seconds. SabO
is conner and is fast making a
name for himself Wagner had
a barbed wire crouch on, and was
called several times by referee
Christopher for rough tactics.

dI IlCle lOudN. 4 ltei the remark OF
Barnes shorten the time 1 shall have
to. take to round into form this
spring. Nine tenths of the northern
golfers have not played a stroke
during the winter, and when we be-
gin in the spring we are all likely
TO be strong. AS 1 thought about my
game the day after the round with
Barnes 1 felt, although of course
could not be absolutely sure, that
my whole weakness consisted in
not waiting for the clubhead."
Perhaps this little golfng expression
needs a little explanation. In the
playing of golf 1 consider the proper
timing Of the meeting of the club
head and ball supremacy important,
yet it is probably the hardest thing
in golf TO bring about When
achieved, however, the rhythm of
the stroke is unmistakable 1t is
surprising how much Of the job the
clubhead. when properly introduced
does and it is not brute force that
makes the Clubhead do its work
properly. and that is why many a
slight chap drives as we'll as the big
husky ones. The college man with
his rush of youthful strength swings
at tremendous speed at the ball. and
sometimes it goes and usually It
does not Only the other day a
