A Leading Reformer.

Yesterday one Of the most pro
mincnt Reformers in the State, not a
visionary man. but che Of the most
far seeing leaders, when asked about
the primary out ook, expressed his
view of the situation thus: Evans
will poll hi full strength on the first
ballot On that ballot all his friends
and all those who will vote for him
If he is not elected on the first ballot
and Earle makes the second race
with him, all the Relormeis who
voted against Evans on the first bal
lot will vote for him or the second TO
save the Reform movement They
think that the election of Judge
Earle to the senate at this time would
be death blow to the Reform move
ment-and it would They deem
his election the defeat Of ey erythlng
they have been fighting for. But if
there is to be second race, aud Dun
can is to make the race with E'ans
Evans would have polIed his full
strength on the first ballot and Dun
eau will poll the vote that both him
self and Earle would have polled
In this case Duncan will be elected

through car line of the west.
The line via Denver and Kansas City
to Chicago in connection with the Chi

The Same Old story.


The same old story which has been
enacted over and over again in our
camps has been worrying the men who
have been working the Morning Star
at Silver City. The mems wages are
several months behind. Mine operat-
ers trust to the blindest kind OF luck to
take the money out of the mine, and
falling in this, the miners, the board
ing houses and the merchants are all
left in the lurch II mine managers
would only make it rule not to en-
ploy man until at least one months
expenses were put in the bank, they
would thereby stop these ''Heads I win,
tails you loose" adventures from max
ing SO much trouble. That the Morn
ing Star is a very valuable property,
there is little or no doubt; but even the
best properties, without mill, and not
fully developed, cannot be made to pay.
With the Flint and Alta properties
both away in the rears, with poor men
made to suffer therefor, this latter de-
fault ought to make men think Of these
things. Make the owners show up
their ability to pay before you strike
pick in the mine

to use his name as friend of bimetal-

told a truth which has been quite pat

A miner says that if the eastern peo.
pie knew how rosy and bright the out
look throughout the wild and woody
West is, the people footloose enough to
take Horace Greeley's advice would be
falling over each other in their hurry
to reach the Rockies, Sierra Nevadas
and Cascades. All over the West come
reports of a revival in mining, the res
urection of districts long supposed to
be dead and forgotten and the opening
of new regions hitherto supposed to
be barren. The great mother lode of
California is receiving an attention by
investors never given before; in Utah
the Mercur district is creating boom
end steadily adding a population that
is a genuine surprise to the conserva-
tive old Mormons; the Trail Creek re-
gion of British Columbia is waking up
the sleepy old Canadians to realize
golden dreams; but especially in Colo
RADIO is there a revival and activity that
astonishes the most sanguine and para
lyzes the croaker. Cripple Creek is
coming up to expectations. The old
reliable San Juan is preparing for an
active summer; Lead vile is developing
a gold belt that is to be world beater;
old Gilpin, Clear Creek and Boulder
show signs of quickening, and reports
from all over the Centennial state show
that the miner is at work in practical

the wreck and ruin of a false, unwise,

Mr. D. M. Steen, the Boise flour mill
man has made arrangements to put up
a combination quartz mill in Biose and
has announced tnat he will have itrun-
ming in six weeks, and will mill ore for
$3.50 per ton. There is no doubt aoout
the ability of the miners themselves be-
ing able to supply ore enough to keep
it prof itably running. But good
plant of this character constructed, say
at Boonville, ought to be an invest
ment which would make the owners
fortune.

From all accounts received from sec
tions along the Pacific coast and in the
East, Alaska will receive rush of peo-
pie that will not be consistent with the
present progress and amount of work
that is now going on, and for what is
mapped out the coming season, says
the Alaska Record. Alaska at present
can support so many people and no
more, and should an influx occur, hard
ships and suffering will follow. At
present Alaska has no great industries
outside of mining which the wage earn
er can seek employment to earn live
lihood, and in a crowd unless a person
has sufficient means to carry him
through, either in some business under
taking or for a seasons prospecting.
this is country he should steer clear
of. Any kind of a business venture re-
quires certain amount of capital, and
it also requires capital to prospect for
a mining claim, and when found, more
capital to open the claim up. Gold
nuggets do not grow on bushes, and it
takes both mans hands and his pockets
to release it from the earth's dark cav
erns. The yellow metal is as elusive in
Alaska as elsewhere, and unless you
are prepared to hunt tor it, do not
come.

Suckers,

The oft quoted saying of Hungry Joe
that "a sucker is born every minute,
viii probably hold good for many ages
yet to come 1t was demonstrated with
great force in DeLamar within the past
few days, when couple of not very
prepossessing but evidently very
smooth individuals succeeded in taking
in not less than ninety men up about
tho mines to the tune of five dollars
each, on sick benefit insurances scheme
which bore on its face, as well as in the
men who worked it,, every evidence of
its being most paIable fraud and fake.
The men carried some printed matter,
showing that one Of them was "Vice-
President" of an insurance company,
with headquarters in Oregon The
Company proposes to pay a sick ben
eft of S15 per week to its members. who
pay So in advance and So per month
The scheme don't require any very
bright mental calculation to show that
it is fraud, and nobody who gave up a
five dollar note has any assurance of
any responsibility of the company ex-
cept the assertions of couple of stran-
gers.
In this and almost every other state,
a law is in force, requiring insurance
companies to undergo an investigation
and secure license before being permit
ted to do business in the state. This is |
required for the purpose of protecting
just such yerdant people as these fell
ows who have been caught. OF course
these insurance men kept away from
the business men and newspapers, but
that made but little difference, as the
class they caught would not, as rule,
spend dollar on a subscription to
paper, or take the advice of well-in-
formed business man before giving up
their money. We, however, hope that
some one CT them viii borrow copy of
the NUGGET and read this to the others
before the next monthly payment is
lue.

TESTIMONIAL EVlnENCE.

Wonderful Proof of Cures That Are hsins
Performed in Boise by DR. Darrin.
There can be no doubt nor question
of the curative powers of electricity,
Judging from the extraordinary cases
of cure performed by DR.. Darrin. Tho
great advantage of electro-magneti
treatment is that it brings relief in a
large number of cases confessedly be-

of electricity upon the public by his re-
markable cures.

lowing card, coming as it does from
Mr. Newton. He is SO well known in

Commence Right Now.

No power can stay the tide of East
ern capital now seeking investment il
Western mines. The whole country has
the mining craze. The stampede OF
inventors and speculators to Colorado
has set in and they are coming by the
train load President Jeffrey, of the
Denver & Rio Grande, fears the roads
will be unable to provide sufficient cars
to handle the business, Denver, Colo
RADIO Spring and Cripple Creek will soon
be full and overhowing.
These people are not on pleasure
bent. They are coming West to buy
mining stocks, to buy mines, to "get in
on the ground hoorn They are coming
to Colorado because Colorado has ad-
vertised herself and her resources, and
they have heard more and read more
about Colorado mines than about those
of any other State. They will invest
their money there, and their invest
ments will result in the development
of more mines and in the upbuilding
of the State.
Utah and Idaho are interested spec
tators to this activity Further than
this they are hardly in it, and why?
These two States produced nearly
twenty million dollars worth of gold,
silver, copper and lead last year. New
districts are being opened up, new dis
coveries made in old districts, and in
viting fields are presented to the in
vestor. But not one person in hun
dred who starts for Cripple Creek
dreams there is anything beyond. The
Mercur gold belt is beginning to at
tract some attention, simply by reason
of its merits, but the possibilities of
the field are comprehended by but few
people in the east. No adequate effort
has been made to advertise this region.
If Utah and Idaho desires assistance
in the development of their mining re-
sources they must invite it. They may
assure each other of the possession of
great riches and felicitate themselves
upon their resources, but all this does
not bring in one dollar of outside cap,
ital They must disseminate informa-
ton broadcast, and there is no better
time to commence than right now.-In-
ter Mountain Mining Review.
