An ordinance which might be enforced In Russia was introduced and it provides that pawn brokers shall furnish dally to the chief of police and the city clerk a list of the goods pawned to him and a description of the persons pawning them. The ordinance produced numerous skeptical remarks from the aldermen regarding the feasibility of enforcing it, but it went over under the rules.

Seven street grades were presented to the council from the office and were referred to the street ommttteo. It was nearly 11 o'clock when the council adjourned. Mayor Robinson in presenting the re- lort of the investigating committee, rhieh has been published heretofore, nude a brief statement of the causes padlng up to the investigation. He tated that the finance committee of the ouncil in the course of its regular in- estlgatloH of the books of the treasurer collected a large amount of data rhich it presented to the auditor re-, luestlng that he tabulate same.

The discussion of the wide tire ordnance, which was handed in by Ai- Ashwqrth of the ordinance eom- hittee, was very lengthy.

The jrdinance provides that all vehicles yeighing of themselves over 1,000 founds and with their burdens over Lr.00 pounds shall have tires of four belies In width, this not to apply to any iow in use having tires of three inches over and it also regulates the speed automobiles to ten miles an hour and ovides numerous other rules to gov- the including the censing of the chauffeurs at $2 a year. 1 The discussion took on a ludicrous turn at times, some of the aldermen presenting the most dolorous situations, which they suggested might arise from the operation of the wide tire ordinance. Aldermen Banning and St. John Ubed their own cases as illustrations of the hardships the ordinance might Work. President Donaldson, of the Good Hoads association, which fathered the Sjfdinanee, made a brief address to the fijpuncjl in support of it and Secretary Klen also took an active part in the Kscussion.

The ordin- ce was then ordered published. Alma St. John announced that the of his having voted to have the nning thought that the city should for (he equipment of wagons now infuse with the wide tires. Remarks made by Alderment McIntyre, Capell, Ashworth, Clark and Patton and the ordinance was taken up sec- ordinance published should not he construed to mean that he will vote for the ordinance, but merely to assist in getting it before the people. Petitions were received from residents of Bast Kiowa street asking that the original grade on that street between Prospect and Institute, be maintained.

Mr. Capell stated that the city engineer had written him regarding the matter and he had expected he would be there but as Mr. Case did not come in the matter was passed. A report from City Treasurer Voorhees to the effect that he has $1,192.49 on his hands, being the.interest on the city hall fund, was received. The money was ordered turned into the general fund for apportionment.

A letter was handed in by the mayor which came from F. J. Hooper, asking to be released from the bond of F. B. Hammond, because Mr.

Hoop er is now living in Denver. The clerk was instructed to notify Mr. Hammond to secure a new bondsman. Mayor Robinson appointed John Heide as special policeman without pay and re-appointed Inspector of Weight, and Measures Dvorak, both being confirmed by the council. President Clark recommended, on behalf or the finance committee, these transfers of funds, which were adopted: $100 to the damages and legal expense fund, account of the city stenographer for salary: $100 to the extra police and incidentals fund: $100 to the sewer department and the trans fer of all money in the construction fund to the maintenance; $300 from the construction fund of the water depart ment to the assistant water commis salary; $50 to the maintenance and $25 to the tapping funds of the same department; $1,000 from the election fund to the interest on warrants; $300 from the health department to the engineering maintenance.

Mr. St. John stated that a report on the High Dine reservoir would probably be forthcoming at the next meeting. On motion of Mr. McIntyre a proposal from Contractor Atkinson to change the atone work on the new city hall to granite, the work proposed being most ly for $750, was accept ed, the change being simply to comply with the changes made some time ago and to conform to the remainder of the building.

Alderman Capell reported regarding the petition of residents of Wahsatch avenue for more water on the street stating that arrangements would probably be made to give them more. Attorney S. H. Kinsley addressed the council regarding the matter as a representative of the petitioners. Mr.

Capell also reported on the offer of Patrick Dee to trim the trees for $1 a. tree and to trim them and re move the debris for $1.25. He thought that this was a very good offer and pointed out the great need of having the trees trimmed. While there is no money available to pay Mr. Dee, Mr.

Capell stated that Mr. Dee has offered to wait for pay until the appropriations are made. A long discussion with trees as the subject, followed, the mayor making remarks on the sub ject, agreeing that it might be a good thing if the trees were properly trimmed. The matter was finally referred to the street committee. Alderman St.

John reported progress with the Santa Fe toward securing new' underground crossing at Costilla street. He stated that while no defin ite settlement had been reached it had been agreed that there would be no abutments under the bridge and that the walks will be six instead of ten feet wide. Reports from the fire department superintendent of the cemetery, health department, police magistrate, building inspector and auditor were received and went on file or to committees, Accom panying the report of the auditor was a communication which called attention to the fact that the city treasurer KLONDIKE GETTING IS EVIDENCE Reasons Why The Weekly Gazette of Colorado Springs RECEIVES AND- SHOULD RECEIVE THE SUPPORT OF ALL IN- TERLSTED IN THE GROWTH AND WELFARE OF COLORADO. is the best weekly newspaper published west of the i Mississippi river. is devoted first, and all the time to the material welfare and interests of the entire state.

Thomas Kelly, a prominent real estate man of Pueblo, and a Democratic politician of the southern kind, was here yesterday on a brief business visit, onferring with W.

8. Jackson. Mr. Kelly represents Mr. Jackson in Pueblo where the latter has considerable property.

Included in his Pueblo holdings is an interest in a large tract of land in the heart of the city, taking in a picturesque settlement known as formerly the toughest portion of Pueblo. It is inhabited largely by foreigners and negroes and is made up of adobe shanties stuck on the side of The tract also takes in which, as the name signifies, is populated by Italians. Interested with Mr. Jackson in the property is James N. Carllle, the recent Democratic candidate for state treasurer and quite a number of others.

The tract is certain to become very valuable some day but for many years the foreigners have been permitted to squat upon it and build their homes. Men and women living there now were born and raised upon the tract and finally they had come to regard the land us their own. Some months ago the owners began to take steps to either make the squatters pay rent or get off the tract, in order to establish their title and to prevent trouble over it in the future. Mr. Kelly as agent for the owners took a prominent part in the matter.

Suits were instituted against scores of the squatters and In every case the verdict was in favor of the owners, although the squattera, many of whom are quite wealthy, fought strenuously. Whenever a squatter against whom Judgment was rendered, refused to pay ground rent for his house, Mr. Kelly simply set his household belongings out in the street and this had the effect of bringing them to time. Some of the wealthier squatters, who own stores and other business houses on the tract got together and sent a representative to Washington to present the matter to the Italian ambassador, but nothing w'as ever heard from the Italian government. Then an old American resident of Pueblo got his brain to working.

went to Washington and returned with a startling array of evidence to prove that the original government filing upon the tract which was homesteaded away back in was illegal. He stated that he had had introduced in congress a bill which would enable him to contest the filing in the general land office. However, nothing more has been heard of this either. Inasmuch as the American Smelting Refining company has its huge Pueblo smelter plant located upon pact of the tract it itl likely that the contest if it is ever instituted would be fought with some vigor. cquatters are as docile as lambs said Mr.

Kelly yesterday, discussing the matter, pay their rent or they move, it make a great deal of difference to the owmers what they do, and generally they NEW MARKET MINE AT WARP HAS BEEN BONDED AND LEASED J. S. Danser, who has just returned from Ward, Colorado, reports the district to be decidedly on the boom. Mr. Danser has been looking after the interests of the Cardiff Gold Mining company, of which he is secretary and manager.

This company owns about 50 acres in the heart of the Ward mining district and only one-half mile from the town of Ward. The company recently installed a complete plant of machinery and the work of development is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible by C. G. Helnrecy, an experienced Cripple Creek miner. The principal work will be done on the shaft of the Cardiff claim which is now about 200 feet deep, it is planned to sink this shaft at least a hundred feet deeper when the directors are confident a very little drifting will develop a regular shipper.

The Cardiff claim is on the same vein as the New Market and Morning Star, on which properties important strikes have been made very recently. Heretofore Ward has been considered a strictly sulphide district but the recent strike on the Morning Star shows the very peculiar combination consisting of or gray iron tellurium and free gold, closely mingled in the quartz which often yields several dollars to the pound. At first the free gold was considered copper and several thousand dollars worth of ore was thrown on the dump as the parties working the mine did not expect to find free gold. The rich ore was taken from the 860-foot level and the first shipment yielded 45 ounces and the second 56 ounces per ton. The New Market has a large vein with two feet or more of solid iron and some tellurium which yields an average value of $200 per ton.

This mine, although the strike was made only a few days ago, is reported to have been bonded and leased yesterday for the sum of $40,000. The agent for the parties taking the bond and lease is a prominent mine superintendent, well known in the Cripple Creek district, and is very enthusiastic over the deal. He says thcra is more than $40.000 in sight and predicts a great boom in Ward the coming spring. He was shown ore from the Cardiff and on comparing it with that from the New Market and Morning Star stated that all ol' it undoubtedly came from the same vein and that with depth the Cardiff would be equally valuable.

Dory has been working with Chief of Police King on the case and now has hig plans laid so that he can get his men, at least the remainder of the leaders of the gang, on a notice. There are at the present time, nine of the grafters under artest in Hot Springs, for implication in another such bunco deal and Dory is now making an effort to land the other ringleaders. Dory, according to his own story has been in this city a number of times, including the time that he lost part of his coin and the present time.

About three weeks ago he came to the Alta Vista and registered there, but desiring no publicity to be attached to his presence here moved and took apartments at the Elk hotel, where he thought there was less likelihood of being discovered. He registered at the Elk Monday morn, ing under his true name and address, C. Lory, Petersburg, but this was suddenly changed to C. Long, Petersburg, owing to the fact that the name had been recognized by a Gazette reporter and inquiry had been made as to his whereabouts. When first approached on the subject, he manifests great interest in regard to the story of the race, but denies that he is Dory, for reasons best known to himself, of course.

He denies that he is called the and that he was ever Interested in such a fake foot race, but admits that he knows the real Dory, whose name is C. but he is no relative of the man, although Petersburg is a very small place. The fact of the matter is, Mr. Dory has good reasons for wishing to remain hidden in his search for the men who robbed him. One of these reasons is, he is afraid that the men will get away, before he can place them under the clutches of the law.

It is believed that these men have a number of allies In Colorado City who will immediately upon hearing of presence wire to their confederates and put them on their guard, Mr. Lory has prepared for this however, and expects to have his men in a very short time. see," said the last night when forced to acknowledge that he is the real article. am trying to keep dark in this business in order that I may make doubly sure of the capture of these thieves.

Ryan bad a number of letters from the club, all ritten on letter heads belonging to the club. Such men as Burns were among the people mentioned in the letters and as I had heard considerable about these men and knew them to be very wealthy, I took the whole thing in and thought everything carried out on the square. I offer to take any part in the race, however, and told them so at the start.

The plan was that, in this race, one of the principals, the man was to stumble in the getaway and let the "Montana win. if I should put up some money on the they said 1 was sure to make something. I passed the proposition up. but as I happened in be eontemplating a trip to Seattle. told them might stop off on the way out and see the race.

It seems that Dean was the man who was to represent the "Millionaire club" in the race and Ryan was to do the stunt on the other side. The had vanished. Well, I was again asked to back one of the men but 1 refused and later they asked me to put up a side bet This I finally consented to do; $20,000 was the amount of this bet and I placed it upon Ryan who had the place as the fake winner of the race. The event was not pulled off until about 10 days after I got here. It took place just a little northwest of Colorado City.

You turn north a little way from the Hoffman house and after a short walk you reach a little valley where the race was pulled off. Of course the result was just exactly opposite from I was told it would be and as a result my man Ryan lost out. Of course, here was where the mightiness of the club" asserted itself. Although I had lost the $20,000 to one who was supposedly a rustler, Rodgers came to me with tears in his eyes, saying that he did not have the money to pay his bet. He had also bet on Ryan.

Rodgers came to me on his knees, and crying like baby and saying that he was an Elk and a K. of ami all that and saying if I did not help him out until yesterday when the lad passed away at Roxbury hospital.
