men HAVE A
NARROW ESCAPE
Rock Weighing 200 Pounds Co
ing at Full Speed Barely Es-
capes Striking Men Working
at Denver Tunnel; Rock Goes
Thru Blacksmith Shop and
Rolls Down the Mountain.

While working at the Denver
tunnel last week, three men, in
cluding the foreman of the mine,
John Puchert of Chicago creek,
narrowly escaped death when
rock weighing about 200 pounds
bounded between III 9 m, barely
grazing the cap worn by Nh.
Puchert.
The men we're putting the carb-
lte in the lamps, and were only
about two feet apart when the rock
bounded past them, sounding like
big explosion.
The rock had been dislolged and
started down the mountain by some
workmen who were telling trees.
1t had come such distance, gain
ing force at each turn, that it
struck the blacksmith shop, max
ing a tremendous hole where it
went in and again where it bounded
out, without stopping in its course.
1t was very fortunate, and al
most miracle, that the three men
were not struck by the rock, which
would have meant instant death,
We were unable to learn the names
of the other workmen.

train KILLS F.E.
H|NDMAN and WIFE
Former Idaho Springs Couple
Killed by Santa Fe Train
Near Flagstaff, Arizona; En-
route to Visit Daughter in
California; Burial in Denver.

F. E. Hindman, craftsman
with the Midwest refining COM
pany, and his wife were instantly
killed late Saturday afternoon when
the automobile in which they were
touring westward to Los Angeles
was struck by Santa Fe express
train two miles east Of Flagstaff,
Arizona.
Word of the tragic accident was
telegraphed to friends and rela-
tives here by the authorities at
Flagstaff, who have requested in
structions as to the disposition of
the remains.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hindman lived at
1926 Alcott street. They left this
city week ago Thursday for an
extended stay with Mrs. Hind
mans daughter, Mrs. O. H. Hind
man, OF Los Angeles. They in
tended to remain there until next
spring.
It is curious coincidence that
the husband of the younger woman
is also the cousin of the deceased
Hindman.
Hindman was 46 years old and
q member Of Highland lodge, A.
F. and A. NJ, of Denver. He was
born in Iowa and came here from
Oklahoma ten years ago.
Mrs. Hindman was 45 years old
and a member of Fern chapter,
Order of the Eastern Star, Dem
yer. Among the relatives surviv.
ing her are DIR. Arthur @. As
quith, physician, living at the
Colorado hotel.
Burial probably will be in Den
yer, it was announced.
The above story, published in
last Sundays Denver Post, relates
to Mr.. and Mrs. F. E. Hindman,
formerly of Idaho Springs. They
lived here a couple of years, leav.
ing two years ago to make their
home in Denver. 1t was only a
short time ago that they were Wis
iting friends IN this city. Mr..
Hindman was connected with the
Argo tunnel while living here, and
the family was held in very high
esteem. The fatal accident is
deeply regretted by friends in this
community.

MiningActivitiesI In and
Around Silver Plume

The Colorado Wasatch mill at
Silver Plume is nearing compile
ton and will soon be ready for a
tryout. This mill is being built
at the Mendoza dump and will save
the company about $4,000 a year
hauling expense, as their former
mill was abont one mile from the
mine. The mill will be equipped
with crusher, rolls. pigs and tables,
the product from the mine being a
heavy silver lead ore, and can cas-
lily be separated and saved. Mar !.
ager Palmquist is deserving of
credit for the substantial, we'll
patterned mill he is erecting SO
near the tunnel opening; also for
the plans he has formulated for
the further development of the
mine, which we understand the
company has agreed to back him
on, expressing confidence in both
the manager and the mine.
The Burleigh mill, operated from
Pelican dump material under the
management or G. {. Cole, is
grinding steadily day and night,
and is making big money for the
operators. There yet remains on
the dumps of this property suffi-
cient material to keep the mill
running steadily for four years be-
fore they need to touch the many
large slopes in the mine. With
one dollar silver this mill will stoI
only for repairs for at least ter
years.
There, too, are many similar
propositions in Clear Creek county
that can be brought from a sup
posed worthless mass of mine ma
terial to big money makers, such
as Mr.. Cole has done with the
Burleigh mill.
If you wish to see where the
goat glands are having effect in a
mining way go to Silver Plume
all mines being made new and new
mines being made producers.
The Buxton boys made new
strike on the Buster property a
few days ago, and probably have
solved the source of the many
feeders of high-grade ore they
have been taking out the past
year; also the source of the heavy
flow of water they encountered last
March. The boys have also taken
bond and lease on the old Blue
Bell property, across the gulch
from the Buster mine, and have
men cleaning out and fixing up the
property for a campaign of devel-
opment. This property produced
considerable high-grade ore in
early days.

LURAY. Va, July 1s.-Luray and
Page counties are eagerly watching
the developments attending the open
ing of another cave on the lands OF
James and Thomas Brown. In the
northwestern suburbs Of the town.
Work has been going on daily for
some time I'm an effort to effect an
entrance into what the Brown broth
ers and many others believe Ia a sub
.terranean chamber. The scene OF the
activities 10 at the base of a large hill
on the Brown brothers land. Tradt-
ton has for years had Ii that there
was a cave beneath the surface at
that point. Undaunted by increduious
ones the Brown brothers have . force
of men at work and have already
gone down to a great depth in their
search for what they believe IL an
underground wonder. SO far they
have not reached any formations OF
Significance, but the owners. with
many others, say that the character
of the limestone rock through which
they are going is pointing with un-
mistakable certainty to cavernous for
nations.
The place at which the opening 10
being made has been known for per-
haps 100 years a. a den for rabbits.
The opening that is being made 10
one mile northeast Of the famous
Luray caverns and 80 on one OF the
tiers Of hills that run from Luray to
the Luray cave. which was discovered
In August, 1878, by A J. and William
B. Campbell and others. 1t IL known
that the Campbells at one time en-
deavored to make an opening on the
Brown land. believing that the place
was promising from the topography
of the country for a cave OF great
beauty. There Is said to be q strong
current OF air at all times coming
from the earth at the place where
the present explorations are being
made.
