AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.
A 5,ooo-ft. Tunnel To Be Driven
On The Ruby Chief.

After about fifteen years of in
operation, due to litigation, the
Ruby Chief group of mines, above
Lake Brennan, near Irwin, was
last week bonded and leased to a
company of Illinois and Iowa
capitalists, the lease heing dated
June l, 1900. The consummation
of this deal wns due to the inde-
fatigable efforts of S. G. Robinson,
OF Cripple Creek, who deserves
great credit for his work in inter
esting capital in this district. To-
gether with Mr.. Robinson and the
other parties interested, the mines
were examined last week by State
Senator James G. Berryhill, of Des
Moines, who looks upon the pros
poets afforded by this property as
very fattering. The working cap
ital of the company will be $4,000.
The old Robinson saw mill and
20 II. p. boiler are being moved
from Pittsburg to the mine, where
they will be installed and the mill
put to work cutting lumber to erect
new buildings, after which an air
compressor will he put in and the
lower tunnel, which is now driven
500 feet, cleaned up and re-tim-
bered. Work will then be pros
ecuted in this tunnel all winter and
it is the expressed intention of the
management to drive it a futher
distance of 5000 feet before June
l, next, if possible, At that time
a lo0-ton mill will be erected and
shaft sunk on the property tocut
the vein at a greater depth.
This property has in the early
days produced large quantity Of
good ore and the oreis easilymilled.
II is located in reasonably good
place for advantageous operation,
water and timber being close at
hand in abundance. The men who
have taken hold Of the claims
realize this and, having a large
amount of capital at their COM
mand and an excellent knowledge
of mining, are bound to succeed.
The Importance of this pnd9r-
taking to this section is great, be-
cause Of the direct results that will
accrue and also because of the
influence it will have in encourag
ing other mining companies 10
launch new mining enterprises ia
this district. May the Ruby Chief
handsomely reward its new oper-
ators is thesincere sentiment of all.

STATE VS.. NATION.

There is no other political arGu-
ment for the people of Colorado so
convincing as the examination OF
the manner in which the affairs Of
the United States have been CON
Quoted by the Republican admin
istration and the way those Of the
state have been mismGnaged by the
Fusionists in general and the
Democrats in particular.
Previous to the year 1893 the
state of Colorado was in the front
rank of American commonwealths
in point of education, general in
telligence, wealth, business credit
and sagacity, good order, oppor-
tunities for success open to all and
in many other similar lines, Be
cause of these things Colorado was
regarded as a model for other wes-
tern states, and was the favored
destination Of the capitalist and
the immigrant. In that time Colo
RADIO was Republican state, be-
cause states of high intelligence
under prosperous conditions are
usually Republican. But in 1893
collapse of one of the leading
industries of the state occasioned
q most disastrous political blunder.
The Democratic party, ever watch
ful for such chances, took up the
slogan of free silver regardless of
any knowledge of the subject, sin
cerity in its professions or posi-
bility of accomplishing any practi-
cal results. Silver was made an
exclusive political issue, and plan
Of fusion ineugurated that raised
demagoguery and incompetency to
a premium and rendered party re-
sponsibility and discipline an i'm
possibility. The result was exact
ly as explicitly predicted by those
Republicans who stood by the
party. In exalting what was pure
ly material issue to the exclusion
of all other considerations, that
moral element which alone preser-
yes public affairs from corruption
was removed from the politics of
the state. After the voters had
been continuously assured that
they must vote the fusion ticket
for every Office. however inconsid-
erable, and for every candidate.
without reference to capability,
it is no wonder that disorder has
ensued. With the half a dozen
parties to the fusion scheme differ
ing among themselves in the most
fundamental political principles, it
is no wonder that men have been
elected to Office who were conspic-
uously unfit both in capacity and
character for theirpublie positions.
With the radical doctrines of op-
position to capital which have been
preached in the press, and the
election to public, Office of men
who openly advocated social and
industrial revolution, il is not sur
prising that civil disorders have
been frequent and industry and
investment hindered and discour-
aged. The present period sees the
state discredited and dishonored,
its statutes encountered with long
haired freak legislation. an alarm
