Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-05-24

veins are as everlasting the great mountains in
which they are located. The other is the resort
business and the climatic and scenic advantages.
All of these are enduring the earth itself and
what reason there can be for statement that con-
ditions will not remain as good as they ere at
present is more than 1 AS a matter of
fact Idaho Springs will continue to grow greater
with both her resources and those who are alive
ten years from this will see a much different city
from the have at the present time

1 congratulate Editor Marshall of the News
now that he is again back in the harness fighting
the battles of the newspaper hero. Siftings is al
ways ready to welcome every proposition that will
make fight for Idaho Springs and its material ad-
vancement. There is reason why the News
should not become prominent factor in the de-
velopment of the city and district. Any time
Colonel Marshall desires poem 1 will write it
for him

Idaho Springs great fremen's tournament is
successfully launched and the state will be guaran-
teed of the most successful celebrations in its
history. Already it is beginning to partake of the
nature of state affair and companies from the
motest parts of Colorado are making inquiries
swarded. Nothing should be left undone in the
way of making it in every sense success.

1t strikes me that there ought to be prize baby
contest arranged to take place at the time of the
iremen's tournament. Idaho Springs has the
pretiest babies in the state and there is no reason
why there should not be a contest to see which is
the prettiest. R. c. Bonney, George Armstrong,
ID n IL
be selected to award the prizes. Let US have the
baby show.
R. c. Wider has sold out his Offices here and
moved to Georgetown. Mr.. Wider started the
Colorado Springs investors in pursuit of the Idaho
Springs district and is entitled to generous credit
for his avors to the district and to these investors
He is of the most successful promoters in the
west and Georgetown will be the gamer and Idaho
Springs the loser.
Editor Cunningham baby is a Republican and
this has tendency to worry the colonel little.
As rule the little folks call the parent daddy ~
but this calls his father Teddy" Whenever
the fond father hears this he wonders how it is
that the rising generation is so much in advance of
the past.
The Big Five association has tried cyanide in
treating the ores of the Boulder district and finds
that the sulphides in that section can be handled
successfully This means great deal for that Sec
ton and the same thing will mean good deal
here. The mining men should take an interest in
the proposition.
A state exchange states that Strawberry day
will be celebrated at Idaho Springs on June a.
Now this is unkind. Why not make it Glenwood
Springs. We not giving strawberries away in
this camp, although we raise several million BUSH
els each year.
Idaho Springs is to be congratulated upon her
