hear Miss Helen Culver, grand

Miss Culver gave several NUM-

BANKER BROWNS
IN CLEAR CREEK
Luther Ickes Loses Life in the
Raging Water IS Miles East of
Idaho Springs; Body Taken to
Fort Collins for Burial.

Luther Ickes, the young man
of Denver who was drowned in
Clear Greek waters Sunday between
Golden and Idaho Springs, was in
this city at about three o'clock
Sunday and stopped at the Sift-
ings- News office for a little chat
before returning to his companions
who were spending the day in the
canon fishing and tramping He
said that he had caught a ride to
town, expecting to catch the after
noon train back to Golden, but
missed it, SO started out on foot,
hoping to catch a ride, which he
probably did
After reaching his companions
he. with Clayton Wilcoxen of Den
yer, was wading across the stream
when the swift current suddenly
swept Ickes off his feet and carried
him into deep pool, where he
disappeared. Young Wilcoxen, af-
ter trying to reach him without
success, finally managed to pull
himself to the bank, and notified
men who Immediately formed
searching party, but the body was
not recovered until the next day.
Wilcoxen was in Denver hos
pital in a serious conditions re-
sulting from exposure, and is suf-
fering from water on the knee.
Ickes was a young member of
the law department of the Colo
RADIO National Bank of Denver, and
was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. G. S.
Ickes of Fort Collins, his father
being cashier of the Farmers Bank
and Trust Co. there. The body
was taken to the Golden mortuary

ORE IMPORTANT
COMMERCIALLY
After Many Months Chemist
Discovers that Ore Is Almost
Pure Apatite, Calcium Phos-
phate in Great Demand.

The Denver Post of last Sunday
published the following account of
the accidental discovery of vafua-
BILE ores at the foot of Floyd hill;
Three years ago Lon McCul-
laugh, a prospector living at 2601
West Eighth avenue, filed on a
claim at the foot of Floyd hill
near Idaho Springs, believing that
he had found evidence of gold.
When an assay showed that the
amount of gold in the ore sam
pies was negligible, be threw the
specimens into his back yard in
THEE weeks ago his ne3ghbor,
William Doyle, living at 26o3
West Eighth avenue, discovered
the samples and took them to the
Rev. Father A. w Farstall, pro-
fessor of chemistry at Sacred
Heart college, for another analy-
SIS. Father Farstall's report shows
the ore to be almost pure apatite,
a calcium phosphate in great de-
mand in making artificial fertiliz-
ers.
Doyle and McCullaugh have
formed a partnership to develop
the claim and McCullaugh left
Denver last week to complete the
assessment work, as the curtail-
ment OF the import of potash from
Germany has made this mineral
commercially important.
The claim lies at the foot of
Floyd hill, three miles up Saw
mill gulch from Idaho Springs, on
slight eminence known as Santa
Fe hill.

PROPOSED ROAD
TO ECHO Lake
Prominent Idaho Springs Men
Meet Forest Service Heads;
Local Bureau of Mines and
Commerce at Work on Plans.

The proposed au m o b e
highway connecting our Chicago
Greek road with the Mount Evans
highway to Echo Lake is meeting
with favor, and for the purpose of
making plans, and providing the
best ways and means for the con-
truction, three of Idaho Springs
progressive citizens Mayor E. M.
Moscript, j. H. Nankervis and
w. A. Kelso met Col. w. B. Gree
ley, chief Of the United States
forest service, A. L. Peck, chief
supervisor of Pixies national for
est, w. F. R. Mills, general mana
ger of the municipal water plant
of Denver, and three other men in
terested in the forest service, but
whose names we were unable to
secure, at the Moscript mill Sun
day.
While the chief aim Hof the visit
was to consult with the forest off
cials Mr.. Nankervis and Mayor
Moscript prepared a sumptuous
dinner, cooked on the camp fire.
with Nankervis as chef, and con-
sisted of beef steak, French fried
potatoes, biscuits, coffee, and can
teloupe. This was heartily en-
joyed by all.
The Bureau of Mines and Com
merce of Idaho Springs is now in
communication with these depart
lments regarding the ahoYe pro
posed road, which it is believed
will be successful. However, the
only way this great road can be
secured is by the hearty coop
GRAFTON of Idaho Springs citizens.
1t cannot be done by one man, or
few men, but every man inter-
ested in the building up of this
town and vicinity, must put a
shoulder to the wheel.
This road, if it can be accom-
plished, will mean much to
Idaho Springs as now does the
Floyd Hill road. Let US every
one get behind the movement and
put Idaho Springs to the front.

GEM MINING co.
INTERESTS SOLD
TO FASTENERS
Deal Involves Much Mining and
8 :, Property and Is the Big Deal
of Years; Will Establish BIZ
Monthly Pay Day for Help.

One Of the biggest mining deals
of recent years in this section OF
the country was closed this week,
when the Gem Mining and Milling
company Of Idaho Springs was
purchased by company, tinancd
by eastern interests. The deal in
cludes the sale of the Gen mines,
the Freighters' Friend, the New
ton mills, and the Gem power
plant; they VIII also take over the
Franklin and Silver Age mines.
R. B. Lamb of New York, con-
sulting engineer, and member of
the company, is now in the city
looking after the interest of the
new company, but expects to re-
turn to New York in the near fu-
ture. Mr.. Lamb has visited Idaho
Springs a number of times, and
his interest in the company will
occasion his visit here at various
times.
w. E. Renshaw will still retain
an interest in the new company.
and will be president; Brigadier
General Sir Henry M. Pellatt, G..
V. O., OF Toronto, Canada, will be
chairman; b. W. w. McDougall
will be general superintendent,
and George G. Cochran will be
mine superintendent.
In an interview with Mr.. Lamb
this morning, be states that the
greatest hindrance to the project
is the lack of workmen. They
could at present use about thirty
men, but after this month. will
need more. With the pre- en- t
shortage of men it is hard to ac-
complish a great amount OF work,
and as an inducement for more
laborers, the company is going to
conduct a bi-monthly pay system,
which advantages it is hoped will
appeal to the men. thus being the
means of keeping the company
supplied with the necessary work
men.

a short visit in Idaho Springs while
