Central City people have decided to hold a celebration and fire tournament on the Fourth of July, and are now hard at work on the details. It is likely that a good share of the population of Gol den will attend the Gilpin county cele bration, not orfly because they will be certain of a good time, but for the reason that the citizens of that county j turned out en masse to attend the big | celebration held here last year. The Golden fire department will" receive an 1 invitation to participate in the tuuma-! ment.—Golden Transcript. E. F. McCafferey, agent for the Sing er Sewing Machine company for Jelfer- j son and Clear Creek counties will be in j Centra! and Black Hawk one week j every month and those needing supplies can phone orders at the Colorado House, Black Hawk.

They are well satisfied with the showing being made J of late by their mines, good - pay ore • being taken from several points in the various workings. Manager George Collins of the New ' house tunnel, was in the city yesterday ' on matters connected with the contracts : regarding the extension of the tunnel. 5 He says the work of procuring the sig ' natures is not progressing as rapidly as 1 he had hoped for. It is difficult to see ■ some of the mine owners and others are 1 deferring the signing of the contracts, ! asking more time in which to consider the proposition. However, Mr. Collins feels certain he will be able to close all the contracts within a reasonable length i of time, when the extension of the tun : nel will be pushed. 1 • There is counterfeit money in circula ■ tion in Central and the residents and • business men want to be on their guard ■ for the “shovers of the queer.” At the ! ball game Sunday some generous heart j ed soul contributed a phoney half dollar. | The imitation was discovered at the , bank when it was presented with other ! money for deposit. The half dollar piece | looks as though it is made of lead and | tin and in order to detect its worthless \ ness comparison with the genuine is ; necessary. j A special meeting of the board of j county commissioners was held yester day and a contribution of $600.00 made to the Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of advertising the county.

Three or four very difficult questions were propounded to each of the gradu ates and these they were required "to answer correctly and to the satisfaction of ull present. Although some of the questions were extremely hard, the , graduates proved equal to the task and answered not a few of them properly. Before becoming full fledged members of the Alumni it was necessary for the graduates to take oaths that were not only solemn but most binding. These were administered by Sherman Harvey in his characteristic tone of voice and manner. Dancing wus indulged in after the Alumni ceremonies and a delightful time was had until after midnight.
