Capt. Styles and son, Harry, We're

Anna mountain properties. They
have been doing considerable develop
ment work on their claims this

ore in sight. They have been faith
full prospectors in the Tin Cup dis
trict for many years and deserve to
reap a goodly reward for their efforts.

H. w. H. Tanney Of Somerset, candi-
date for the nomination for commits
sioner from the second district on the
Democratic ticket, was a visitor in
Pitkin several days this week While
here he met most Of our town people
and modestly stated his errand. Mr..
Tanney is very charming gentle
man, unasuming and quiet, but a
man who makes friends readily. He
is prosperous ranchman, having a
nice place on the Muddy near Somer-
set. This is the first time Mr.. Tanney
has appeared in the political arena,
but if he makes as good an impress
sion in every district as. he has in
Pitkin we prophesy for him a nice
majority at the primary election.
l.. o. Wallace returned Friday last
from the Gold Cup mine where he
went to assist in opening up and
blowing out the tunnel. The ma
chinery was easily put in order and
the air was started into the tunnel
However after three days of blowing
it was found that the air line had
developed holes which prevented the
full force of the pumped air going
the entire distance into the tunnel
and only about six hundred feet was
fully cleared. Consequently oper-
ations were suspended until the air
line can be repaired or replaced
with new pipe, there having been
found several hundred feet that
needed repairing. When this is done
it is thot probably that the Gold Cup
will be operated all winter, that
