Fires of Week in Other
Colorado Towns

Two disastrous fires visited Tellu-
ride Tuesday morning and destroyed
five business houses, with resultant
loss Of $4,000. 1t is believed that
fires were incendiary, but altho sever

directly connected with setting the
fires. Four of the locations destroyed
were fraSe. Insurance carried was
light, and there will be heavy losses

Indian H e ad
S m oking Up

A large column of smoke just east
of the "W" on Tenderfoot hill, there
since the Fourth, attracted SO much
attention that two different crews
were sent up to put out the fire.
Under Sheriff Lehan took two men
out early on the morning of the fifth,
whose efforts, while checking the fire,
to great extent, did not entirely ex-
tinguish it. In the afternoon il be-
gan to burn up again, and DR.. john
son of the College, took a crew of
eleven teachers and students, arriving
at the scene Of the fire about seven
o'clock and working until ten. They
put a wider trench around the burn
ing area, which covered about an acre,
moved logs, SO that it would be impos-
sible for them to roll over the trench,
thereby spreading the fire, and put
out what they could Of the flames.
The general opinion is that theblaze
was started from some careless camp
ers' fire. The flames were almost en-
tirely in the underbrush and along
the ground, but several trees were
badly scorched, and the probabilities
are that it would have spread to a
much larger confagaration If left to
itself. There is heavy fine for this
carelessness.

VULCAN SOLD
SAYS REPORT

Reports are current that NJ. w.
Bacon of New York, recent purchaser
Of the Good Hope at Vulcan, has now
completed deal with J. A. Hime-
baugh Of Colorado Springs, owner Of
the Vulcan and an undivided one-half
Of the Mammoth Chimney lodes, for
the operation Of these properties.
Final confirmation of this is lacking,
but il true, it gives Mr.. Bacon control
Of one Of the best mining groups in
Gunnison county. if not in the west.
Except for few spasmodic attempts
there has been no consistent mining
done on these claims for nearly 20
years. Litigation has kept them tied
up at practically surface development.
Let us hope that Vulcan now has an
era Of real mining ahead If it, for the
inevitable result will be tremendous
impetus to the industry IN Gunnison
county as whole.

PLENTY OF FUN At THE
JULY Fourth CELEBRATIONS

The College fish fry and picnic Of
this Fourth, was one of the liveliest
affairs ever put on, with about 500
people in attendance. The eats
were delicious; the mosquitoes were
conspicuous for their absence, and
the fun was there in plenty. One of
the features of the afternoon was
horse shoe throwing by the men, in
competition with which the ladies
started a baseball game. Another
attraction was young eagle which
someone frightened out of its nest,
and which was CALAMITY fed and re-
placed by DIR. johnson Of the college.
The main part Of the dinner, Of
course, was made up of trout, which
were French-fried in boiling lard to
a delicious brown by DR.. Quigley and
other members Of the faculty and
student body serving as cooks AZ

were greatly enjoyed.

Council Acts on Sewers
and Mosquitoes

At the regular meeting of the
town trustees Tuesday night, much
, discussion occurred over the ciogging
Of the sewer outlet in District No. /.
Due to use for irrigation on land be-
longing to Adams Bros, it is back
ing the sewage into cellars in the
south end of town, since, in order to
get it into the irrigation ditch neces-
states raising the water level. This
is menace to the health of the
town and some way out is necessary
at once, according to DIR. Hanson. city
health officer, who explained the
danger.
f. NJ. Calkins asked for a permit
to fence certain lots and streets in
South Gunnison, but the matter was
postponed.
A dozen citizens appeared before
the council members and asked that
water bitches in town be allowed to
run steadily instead of turning them
off three days in the week. They
complained that gardens and lawns
were suffering. especially in the lower
portion of town. This alternating Of
water is due to the effort to kill the
mosquitoe larvae, which are still brot
into town occasionally thru overflow
of the Hartman ditch into the city
ditch. II all our water came straight
from the river, there would be very
few mosquitoes, according to DR.. J. C.
johnson. As long as the danger of
overflow exists, the mosquitoes will
poster US, altho practically all other
sources Of the wiggletails have been
eliminated. However, the mosquito
season is about over for 1928.
By unanimous vote the Town Coun-
Gil decided to discontinue turning of
the water in the bitches at regular in
tervals, until such time as the care
taker Of the so-called Hartman ditch
allows this wiggler filled ditch to
overflow again into the city ditch.
This change is made possible because
by vigorous action the city ditch is
now carrying only water direct from
the Gunnison river and is thus free
from the wigglers which hatch into
mosquitoes.
We understand that w. A. Gillas-
pey has charge Of the flow Of water
IN the Hartman ditch.

Narrow Escape in Auto
Accident Yesterday

When It WAS learned that the car
of b. +. killey, en- route TO Vulcan,
yesterday morning, met with disaster,
friends of the family feared that the
results would be tragic, until definite
information was obtained. However.
Mr.. killey and family appear TO have
gone thru one Of these escapes that
are nothing short of miraculous.
When the ear in which they were driv-
ing tipped off an enhanlSment at a
sharp curve just this side of the
Jointed Rod Resort, and after tipping
completely over. landed on one end in
the bushes and small trees, the most
serious result was cash across the
forehead Of the youngest member of
the family, Cameron, who is only five
years -pld. The rest of the party
were scratched and bruised to a great
extent.
The accident seems to have been
caused by the killey dog, which was
riding on the running hoard, jumping
off and barking at another dog. He
was struck by the car, and whether
this collision on such narrow rad
was q cause of the overturn, or wheth-
err Mr.. Killey's attention was momen-
tairly distracted from the car at
such a critical point, it is hard to say,
for almost simultaneously with strik-
ing the dog, the car ran off the bank
and landed on the radiator end, the
bushes holding it in this position.
Mr.. and Mrs. Killey and their two
boys were the occupants Of the car,
the boys being asleep in the rear seat
when the accident happened The
family were on their way to Vulcan,
where Mr.. Killey owns mining claim
and it was for the purpose of work
ing this that they were leaving Gum
nison. Mr.. Kiliey plans to make the
trip as soon as the car is repaired,
his wife and children following when
the condition of their injuries will
permit.

DEATH VISITS
WALKER FAMILY

The whole community was saddened
last Friday by the news Of The deakh
Of Mis- Annette Walker, daughter Of

her bed until her death, which took
place At three o'clock Friday after
noon, June 10Th.
Deceased was born February 9th,
1891 at Doyleville. When four years
Of age, her parents moved to Kansas
and four years Of her life were spent
in that state and Arkansas.
The family returned to Colorado
and resided on ranch on the Upper
Gunnison until about two years ago,
making their home from that time
in Gunnison.
Miss Walker became a member of
the Methodist church when she was
twelve, and was all her life a faith
ful Christian in the largest sense of
the word, bearing her sufferings in
patience.
The death of this young girl, still
! in the bloom of young womanhood,
IS the first to occur in the Walker
family of nine children, and leaves q
void in the hearts of friends as well
as her devoted family that can never
be filled. Besides her mother, Miss
Walker is survived by two sisters,
Mrs. j. Walter Wilson of Bayfield,,
and Miss Kate Walker Of Gunnison;
six brothers, John, of Fort Lupton,
Archie, of Cottage Grove, Oregon;
Richard, who lives on the home ranch;
Ralph, who teaches in the college and
high school here; Carl, who is a mem
Der of the faculty of the Cripple
Greek high school, and Robert, now
studying pharmacy in Denver. All
the members of the family except
Mrs. Wilson, were present at the
funeral. Mrs. Wilson, being the moth
of baby few weeks old, was un-
able to make the trip to Gunnison.
The funeral was held Tuesday aft
ern0on at 2:30 from The Community

and preaching comforting sermon
to the sorrowing relatives. Intern,ent

MARSHALL PASS SNOW SHEDS
GO UP IN BLAZE JULY FOURTH

At about three o'cloek Wednesday
afternoon, the,snow sheds on Marshall
pass caught fire some 200 feet west
OF the depot, the result Of which
was a complete annihilstion Of the
depot and all surrounding buildings,
including everything but 200 feet Of
snow sheds west of where the fire
originally started.
The opinion of soma Is that the
fire was caused by a carelessly thrown
firecraeker; of others, that n spark
from passing train was blown on
to one Of the dry buildings. The pro-
perry was, of course, covered with
insurance, yet the expense will be
considerable.

COMES FROM ENGLAND TO
LOOK OVER LAKE CITY MINES

Lake City Silver World
The arrival last week Of s. B. Salt
er from England to look after the
well nigh forgotten Dutch Girl and
Igo claims at Carson camp, recalls the

extension Of the Hamilton and st.
Jacobs properties, finally Civ
ing up the undertaking as HOPELESS but
leaving the Dutch Girl and Igo a.
q part Of the legacy Of his endeavors.
And it has been claimed by some
familiar with the vein tendencies Of
Carson Camp that Mr.. DeG0lyer pass
ed over the outcrop Of the lode he
was seeking at the entrance Of the
tunnel. Il is to be hoped that Mr..
Salter win be able to prove whether
or not this theory was well based.
