Leadville and Silver Cliffs, the new
mining camps of Colorado, are lively
business places just now, but their fame
will be short lived. A few brief months
and they will return to the obscurity
from which they SO suddenly sprang.
Such has been the history and fate of
Rosita, Alma, Sunshine and other
mushroom towns in the Centennial
State during the past three years. Un-
fortunately there is nothing at Lead
vile and Silver Cliffs to insure perma-
nent prosperity. Those who are doing
a comparatively good business else
where will find to their sorrow, when too
late to avert financial reverses, that it
would have been vastly better to ''let
well enough alone.D

DISTRICT COURT.
The Proceedings observation-disclosures of
the Helphenstine- Draper Contest
RftI Criminals Sentenced.

In tho case of H. II. Helphenstine
vs. G. A. Draper the demurrer of de-
PENDANT was sustained and plaintiff or
dered to pay costs of the suit. The
reasons given by Chief Justice J. W.
Fisher for rendering such opinion are
set forth by him as follows:
"This is an action in chancery filed
by the plaintiff, praying for an i%njunc-
tion to restrain the defendant; the
county clerk, from issuing a certificate
OF an election to one George A. Draper,
whom 1t appears by computation of the
votes cast at the late election was
elected to the office of sheriff of Lara
mic county, in the territory of Wyom-
ing.
"The plaintiffs bill sets out that
there were informalities at several vot-
lug precincts as would have justified
the canvassing board in rejecting said
returns, and that they should have
been rejected, and that il only the
voters legally cast had been canvassed,
that then the plaintiff, who was a cam
didate for said office, would have been
elected.
Every honest and properly disposed
citizen will readily admit that in a gov
eminent like ours, where the law pro-
vides that a candidate receiving the
majority Of the legal votes is entitled TO
the Office, and where u return is made
which gives the place to a minority
candidate, there Of course should be a
remedy provided by law to correct SO
gross a wrong.
SIT was said by the solicitors for the
plaintiff that there is nc wrong with
