In closing this letter wish to exc
press my unbounded confidence IN the
future of this great camp.
With the diminished production Of the
mines Of the Transvaal. IL not their
entire suspension, in consequence of the
existing war. the inevitable result must
be to stimulate the development and
production OF this great American gold
field. Capital win seek investment here
as naturally as water seeks It's level,
and there Is no longer any doubt in
view Of developments already made,
that It is destined to become the most
prolific gold producing district Of the
United States or any other country.
While this is true. and the mineral
resources Of Cripple Greek exceed the
widest dreams of the Argonaut. and
fortunes are being accumulated with
marvellous rapldlty. stlll there 10 danger
in the mad speculation that rules the
day. No one who is not familiar with
the value OF properties, or the personnel
of their management should invest
money in any of the myriad companies
now operating in this camp. In some
cases organizations are effected for the
sole purpose of realizing on sales Of
stock, and investors should either insi-
tute rigid personal examination. or be
guided by the advice and Judgment Of
others who are familiar with the loca-
ton and output Of the mines.
There are many legitimate enterprises,
conducted by honest and reliable men
that are fairly sure to furnish satisfac-
tory remuneration to the investor. but
here as elsewhere the professional pro-
moter lies In wait for his victim. and
the Lord does not temper the wind to
the shorn lamb. on the storm-swept
and snow clad hills OF Cripple Creek.

Denver News: The four Sundays of
November are observed as fete days in
Holland. They are known by the cur
ious names Review. Decision, Purchase
and Possession, and all refer to matri-
monIaI affairs, November in Holland
being the month par excellence devotec
to courtship and marriage. probably be-
cause the agricultural occupations OF
the year are over and possibly because
the lords Of creation from quite remote
antiquity have recognized the pleasant
ness of having wives to cook and cater
for them during the long winter.
On Review Sunday everybody goes to
church, and after service there is a
church parade in every village, when
the youths and maidens gaze upon
each other, but forbear to speak.
on Decision Sunday each bachelor
who Is cseeking ~ wife approaches the
maiden OF his choice with a ceremon-
ious bow, and from her manner Of re-

to acquiring urgently needed new
equipment attracted additional atten-
tipn to the subject. Another Incident
having far-Feachlng influence on senti-
ment was the announcement Of the
closing Of contracts by the great rail-
road companies for steel rails next
year to the extent Of 100000 tons, pre-
vious to the advance in the price. Sew
eral Of the largest railroad companies
have delayed these contracts Rppar-
emily with the hope that the prices OF
iron products would relax.
Money has become easier at interior
points during the week and the pressure
upon New York has somewhat relaxed,
but has not ceased. Rates for money In
New York have consequently been very
firm on account Of the already depleted
condition OF bank reserves. The firm
ness Of foreign exchange Ia spite of the
stiffness OF money here and Its relaxa-
tion In London, coupled with the fact
that foreign houses have been large
lenders Of money at the stock exchange
suggests that the return Of securities by
foreign holders has been on a large
scale. though there was no evidence Of
such transfer through the usual COM
mission house channels. The easy COM
ditions in the London money market
have detracted from the influence of the
war in South Africa on the stock mar
ket.
The market for railroad bonds has
been active and broad through the
week, and prices are higher. United
