success of NJ. w. Tanner in connection with his
cyanide tests The idea is gaining ground.

1t is hinted pretty strongly that C1 ar Greek
county will get candidate for state office the
Republican ticket this fall and if the hint proves
a reality the people regardless of politics will ap-
preciate the honor.
81 find conditions exceptionally fattering in
Idaho Springs and the district, said Codnty As
Meyers this week. There is little doubt that
this end of the county is enjoying a splendid
measure of prosperity, and Georgetown is looking
much better than she did"

Interest in mining is growing every day in the
district and on the outside. The representative
mining of Denver do not hesitate to say that
it is easier to interest capital in Idaho Springs
properties than in any other in the state. Idaho
Springs has the lead this year.

The Boer has finally come to close. There
is little doubt that England would have in the
contest because she had the preponderance of men,
numerically. She did well, however, when she
exhibited the spirit of mercy in dealing with the
Beers. The war has been unfortunate and it is to
be hoped that the time may when will
be thing of the past.

Why not have that baby show in connection
with the fremens tournament The idea appears
to have taken well and all the papers in Gilpin and
Clear Greek counties appear to think the sugges-
ton good one, and also that they have babies in
their respective towns that will beat anything in
Idaho Springs. When Brothers Blair, Miner,
Laird, Clark and Cunningham refer TO babies they
say "our babies.' We do not believe they are JUS
titled in such language when speaking of all the
babies that would attend such prize show.

Mike Mullins of Lamartine has abundance
of the native wit suggested by his name. The
other day he telephoned down to one of tine gro
GERS to have an order filed. Among the various
things mentioned, lastly two or three bales of
hay, corn, oats and other horsefood
"Who they for?" asked the in the gro
Gerry store.
"Fer tn horse, ye d-n fool ' was the reply
of the genial Mike, and the groceryman has been
telling the story around town for the past week

The difference in the appearance of everything
in connection with the mineral springs indicates
that the Big Five federation proposes in the near
future to make the springs of the finest resort
places in the state. The appearance and prospect
not in the least improbable that there will be hun
dreds of more tourists than there has been here
before. 1t is true that there still many tenters
with us, but they would not be tenters if they
could find some place where they could live with
out sheltering themselves with tents.

1 was always believer in the idea that credit
should be given where credit is due, and while
Sftings has the reputation of being partisan
paper, believe it show more fair items to its
opponent than any other paper in the county. Last
week County Commissioner Coppard did good
job when he succeeded in getting the Bear Creek
voting district through and established a voting
place for the people down there. Charley Crosson
circulated aaound and succeeded in getting the sig
natures to the petition and then Commissioner
Coppard worked like good fellow to get it
through. For this Mr.. Coppard deserves credit.

John f. Vivian, secretary of the state central
committee, is certain of favorable results in the
campaign soon to be inaugurated Prom the
statements we receive from conservative sources" {"
said Mr.. Vivian, ''the question of the election is
practically settled right now. The Republicans
are all in the harness working and leading Demo-
Gratis in Denver and the state have practically
pledged us their support in roofing out the present
administration. Such men are taxpayers and men
who know what the present administration has
accomplished to tear down rather than build up.
The conditions are plain and the need for a
change persistent that the response of the voters
will settle it easily that Democratic friends
will hardly know that they have been in the race "

When one visits Denver these days just as the
political horizon begins to cloud a little he cannot
help but contrast the expression of the people
with that of few years ago. There can no longer
