MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.

J. n Bradley, owner of the cold soda
spring under his property and near the
hill, has expended a considerable amount
to fix it up and place electric lights in
side the tunnel so that the people might
enjoy it. He has borne this expense
alone and is a public benefactor to that
extent.
Some culprit or migrate, however, or
probably more than one, entered the
-unnel the other night, pulled down the
wires and destroyed some of the incan-
descent globes. Mr.. Bradley authorizes
us to state that he will pay $50 for any
information that will aid the arrest and
conviction of the guilty parties and the
general public will stand loyalty by him
in his effort to discover who the guilty
parties are.
Idaho Springs has several cheap
sports who load themselves with booze
and get an idea that they own the city.
They lack the sentiment of the real
sport, man who possesses honor enough
to prevent him from doing injury to
others.
The city can well afford to aid Mr..
Bradley in furnishing protection for his
vested rights and property in the city,
and especially is this true where Mr..
Bradley has borne the expense of fitting
up the place for the general public and
permitting them to enjoy the benefits
that accrue from it.

the good work We must say to our
friends that the good work cannot all be
done at this end of the line. In order to
help it along they should have their home
papers copy the articles they believe
worthy of such use and should show
them to their friends. The entire in
vesting public of the east can be educated
in this manner so they will realize that
mining should be placed on the same
basis any other investment is placed.
Because they read of the Mackays,
the Floods, the Clarks and the others
that have become milionaires in mining,
they should not feel that they are in
vesting with the probability or even the
possibility that they will meet with the
same success. If their investment fails
to reach such expectations they must not
feel that mining is failure. Invest on
the theory that the capital properly
managed ought to bring good returns if
invested in good proposition.
In order that you may know whether
the proposition is a good one or not thor
ough investigation should be made.
Look into the management of the COM
pany. Look into the question as to
whether it owns its own property or not.
See that the title is good. See that the
men interested are such men as you
would trust as associates in any other
line of business. If they are not do not
invest with them in a mining proposition
any quicker than you would invest with
them in some other proposition. Ascer-
tain what the capitalization of the COM
pany is. If it is such that the division of
profits makes each ones proportion all
out of reason do not invest.
All these things should be taken into
consideration. Find the amount paid in
salaries. Make the investigation thor
ough and in every way satisfactory be-
fore you invest your money. If possible
come out and see the property for your
self. After you have invested do every
thing you can to help it along. Help
sell stock and do your part to make it a
success. This is the proper way to con-
duct mining proposition. 1t is the
proper way to do before investing and
the proper thing to do after investing.

ABOUT MINING INVESTMENTS.

We have received several letters of
commendation since the publication of
the article entitled is Mining Gam
ble?" In that article an effort was made
to show that mining would be on a much
better plane would investors investigate
thoroughly before they placed their
money in a company. In other words
that they would benefit mining and bene-
fit themselves by making the same inves-
tigation before investing in a mining
property that they would make before
investing in mercantile establishment
or in any line of business.
The idea is certainly pop ular one
and many of those who have written us
from the east have asked us to keep up

SANTA FE ENTERS THE LIST.

1t is encouraging to note the general
trend of investment toward Santa Fe
mountain. In the early days it is stated
by the pioneers that this was the most
promising and successful field for the
mining man. Capital was not applied
and as a result where it was applied the
results were greater and a majority of
mining men will go where returns are
coming in most rapidly. They do not
stop to think that the application of
little capital to some other portion of the
district would make it fully as valuable
as the developed portions.
The driving of the Typo tunnel
through Santa Fe mountain has again
Last week over 100000 was invested in
the immediate section of that tunnel and
the reason it was invested there is be-
cause the people were of the opinion that
capital would be invested to develop the
mountain and show what it contained.
This shows the amount of good already
accomplished for themselves and for the
district as well.
There is but one way to bring sue
cess and that is to toll for it and to risk
the capital that brings it. For years
people, or at least some of them, have
quietly sit by and stated that there was
but one mining section in the district
and that was shipping right along. They
did not stop to think that the only reason
that was in the lead was because it had
been developed depth had been obtain
ed to give value to the ore bodies. The
same will be true of Santa Fe mountain.
Already vein has been encountered
that shows the values to be found in the
mountain where respectable depth is
reached.
The people need not be surprised to
find that Santa Fe mountain takes the
lead in the district. Chicago Creek has
surprised the people this year with its
rich propositions and big strikes and it
now begins to look as if Santa Fe noun
tain would soon be following the same
good lead.

MOTHER OF BLIND
 TOM IS BURIED
SHE SAID SHE WAS OVER go. BUT IT IS PROBABLE SHE WAS OVER foo-REMAlNs TAKEN TO oEoR- CHA.

The remains Of Charity wiggins. who died Monday night in Birmingham and who is said to be the mother of Blind Tom, the famous musical prodigy. were shipped yesterday afternoon to her daugh- ter. Nettie Livus. who lives at Columbus. Ga. She will be buried today under the trees of the Bethune plantation in Geor- gia where she passed many of her happier days.
 The aged negro woman was so old that she did not remember her own age. She said she was over 9o but she has son living on the plantation of Dr. Bass on the Chattahoochee river in south Georgia, who is said to be over s5 years old. If this is the case 1t would be almost i'm possible for his mother to be less than 100 years old and she is probably several years older than that.
 Charity Wiggins belonged to Wiley Jones and when Blind Tom was born her owner was disappointed and sold mother and son to General Bethune. When Blind Tom was still in short clothes his musical ability was discovered and he has since become a world wide wonder

A Millionaire Tramp.

An eighth wonder has been added to the original seven. Several hundred people sat in the parquet of the Jefferson thea ire last night and wondered why they had paid their good money to see "A Millionaire Tramp The question is un- answered by those not familiar with the term "advance man" used in the the atrical business He is the one who goes in front and hands cut the dope which is supposed to tell the people whether or rot the show is good. The man In front of "A Millionaire Tramp" is a genius and his labors deserve a better cause. He filled the Jefferson theatre last night and the audience was forced to watch a play which would be thrown out by a 10 70 and 30 cent show crowd.
 If the play was anything like as good as the actors it would DC something worth seeing but it is the worst seen here In many days. It would not be just to the actors to couple their names with the production.
 The gallery was pleased at portions Of the performance and some of the lines were good enough to win applause from the people in the pit but 1t was spasmodic and more to relieve the situation than any thing else.

Eleven Are Sent Concerning
 Alleged Gambling
IRE ADDRESSED ID HOTELS
One Proprietor Returns His Letter and Another consults Lawyer-It Is Said Forty Gambling Places
 Are In the City.

Eleven letters addressed to several of the leading hotels and the proprietors of several of the largest saloons, were sent out from the office of Chief of Police Austin yesterday instrueting them to close up the alleged gambling rooms in their p1acessat once. The alternative ex- pressed was that a policeman would be stationed at the door of the building and the names of all persons entering taken and kept as a record.
 The letters were delivered and Chief into effect within the next few days, probably before the end of this week, and that it would be strictly enforced. He believes that this method will break up the gambling. at least for a time, as it did in the case of the Alabama club, which was run over the Peerless saloon.
 The places to which letters were sent are the Florence hotel, the Morris hotel, the Metropolitan hotel, the Eagle hotel, the Opera House hotel the Peerless sa- loon the Stag saloon. the Crescent saloon, the Manhattan saloon, Pete Goss' saloon and one to Rickmans saloons. but 1t is understood this one was sent by mistake.
 It is stated by a prominent man to whom one of these letters was addressed that there were forty gambling places in the city.
 One Letter Returned.
 The letters are causing considerable trouble, and one of them has been re- turned unopened. The letter was ad- dressed to Tom and Harry Rensford. proprietors Of the Stag Saloon, over which, Chief Austin alleges, there Is a gambling den. Tom Rensford carried the letter to Chief Austin's office and pre- sented 1t to him. stating that he knew nothing of any gambling den over the Stag Saloon and that if there was one he had nothing to do with it, neither did his brother. He stated to the chief that he had leased the second story to others and was not responsible for what was done there.
 Will Rutherford, proprietor of the Man haitian saloon, said he had received a let ter from the chief and that he was re- turning 1t by the morning mail, accom- panied by a note stating that he had nothing to do with any gambling house and knew nothing of one.
 Will Consult Lawyer.
 M. Lesser of the. Metropolitan hotel said he had received the letter and will consult lawyer. claiming that he has nothing to do with a. gambling house and that such a abatement injures his char acter. He states that a suite of rooms is leased to a party, but he has nothing to do with the rooms, not even having them cleaned up.
 M Clifford, proprietor of the Morris hotel stated that he had every room in the house open for inspection at any time by any person who wished to enter l them.
 1 P. r. Goss would not acknowledge re- ceiving letter and refused to talk.

CITY COUNCIL TO
 MEET THIS EVENING
PETITION OF THE PEOPLES HOME TELEPHONE COMPANY TO BE ALLOWED TO INCREASE ITS RATES WILL COME UP.

The city council will meet tonight and several interesting matters will probably come up. among them being the petition of the Peoples Home Telephone company, which seeks to be allowed to raise its telephone rates. The petition was re- ferred to the Judiciary committee several weeks ago. and 1t is expected that 1t will make report at the meeting tonight.
 The water rate and fire protection ques- ton may bob up. but in what shape 1t is not known.
 Mayor Drennen was at his office for several hours yesterday, but could not say whether he would be able to be pres- ent at the council meeting tonight or not. He was in excellent spirits, but very weak from his confinement of four weeks.
 Those who called at the mayors office yesterday while he was in expressed pleasure at seeing him again in his office and congratulated him upon his recovery.
