TROLLEY LINE.
Proposition to Build it to the Coal Field
Revived.

Proposition to Build it to the Coal Fields
Revived.
A proposition which, if carried out
means the construction of an electric
railway from Denver to the Boulder
county coal fields, is being urged by
George Stiles Of this city. He is re.
ceiving the cooperation of the mine
owners Of Erie, Lafayette and the entire
northern field.
AS the agent of a number of New York
capitalists, Mr.. Stiles in 1893 made a
preliminary survey of the route. He
secured enough data at that time to war.
rant report to the promoters that the
plan was entirely feasible and that the
traffic would return a fair interest on the
investment. 1t was found that the grades
would be slight, yet OF sufficient fall to-
ward the city to run loaded cars of coal
market at such small cost as to reduce
the tax to a minimum. "In fact" said
Mr.. Styles today, "the cars will come to
the city of their own weight end faster
than a motor Car can draw them back
empty
when the line was being discussed in
1885," be continued, "the intention was
to haul the coal for Is cents ton. Con-
struction of the road was dependent upon
the mine owners signing contracts to
give all their business to it. A portion
of them had agreed to do so and just at
the time the contracts were ready for
signature the panic came and overturned
the entire project, at least temporarily.
The gentlemen who had entered into the
preliminary negotiations announced that
they are now prepared to continue the
work. Mine owners who have been in
terviewed assert that the need of such
line is more apparent than formerly and
that they are willing to sign the papers
with the concessions asked by the New
Workers. Among the concessions sought
are portion of the coal land holdings of
each owner whose property is favored
by a switch.
"The estimates made five years ago
showed that the passenger traffic alone
would pay the operating expenses of the
line. The route suggested was past the
Westminster university. The renewal
of activity now advocated by the trustees
of that institution, who are said to con-
template its completion and the improve
ment of the lands adjoining, may lead US
to consolidate with them and build the
line jointly. In two or three weeks l
may be able to give the full details of
the scheme which will have progressed
sufficiently, l think, to say that the road
is assured" Denver Post.

And when was seated, and had tap
ped fresh bottle of ale. l opened my
mouth and taught my diciples saying:
Blessed are the poor, for they shall be
poorer.
Blessed are the rich. for they shall be
made richer, and shall taste of the good
things of this world
Blessed is the campaign liar for he is
my main dependence.
Blessed are the weak, for they shall be
kicked off the face of the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger, for they
shall have plenty of company.
Blessed are ye when men shall revile
you, and persecute you for my sake, for
you shall eat official pie at my hands.
Blessed are the politicians, for we are
in the same boat.
Blessed is the thief, for he shall have
abundant opportunities to steal.
Blessed is the lobbyist. for he shall
have the fat of the land.
Blessed is the banker. for his is the
kingdom of earth.
Ye are the salt of the earth; therefore
salt down everything in sight.
Let your torch-lights so shine before
men that they can see the eagle on your
hat, and glorify me, who art your politi.
cal father.
Take heed that you provide soup
houses for the poor, for hungry man is
liable to blow you up with dynamite.
After this manner you shall pray:
Our political father who art in Wash
ington, Mckinley be thy name. Thy
congress come, thy will be done in regu-
lar session as in extra ones.
Forgive US this day our usual cusslng.
Forgive US our political sins, even as we
forgive the Democrats who sin agains,

Lead US not into temptation of riches
but deliver us into poverty. for thine is

THE HALEY GOLD BELT.



L. W. johnson, proprietor of the
Overland takes very lively interest
in the development of the gold belt
west OF Haley says the Boise States
man. He Is Interested in that section
and the developments that are taking
place there add rapidly TO the value of
his property. He is one of that kind
of men who would take a lively in
terest in the development of any one
of the states mining districts even
though he owned no property in it.
But the fact that Mr.. johnson is the
owner Of the Oldest claim on the belt
gives him a special interest in that
section. and. moreover, is the means
of bringing him IA great deal of in
formation as to what is going on
there.
Talking about the district last even
ing, Mr.. Johnson said he was one of
four men working on the belt IA years
ago. His partner was George Stride.
They located the Alaska, In which
Mr.. johnson is still Interested. The
other two men there We're Captain
Gum and his partner, working the
Walcott property. Mr.. Johnson said
he took ore down to HALEY and was

was assured there was no gold in that
part of the country. The Alaska ledge
is from 10 to 100 feet in width on the
surface. II is in granite. with well de-
fined walls. There are porphyry dykes,
but these do not cut off the ore.

Gated the Alaska. work was begun on
the Camas No. .. Up to n year ago
the only hoist on the gold belt was on
the latter property. There are now
five running with a prospect of more
