ore from the Sullivan mine that had been roasted
in a furnace until the gold protruded from every
part of it. He entered into conversation with the
lawyers and represented that he was resident of

"You fellows cannot afford to sneer at the dis
trict until you know what it is,'' he remarked in
his commanding style.
They ventured that he would have to show
them and he said he would So when he aghted
from the train at of the sidings he walked
around and seemed to pick up rich piece of float
Here is something just picked up" he ex-
claimed and both lawyers came and looked at the
spectacle. There he had piece of rock as large
a goose egg which practically covered with
gold
Their eyes protruded in astonishment and one
of them came to him with the remark: This is
the most wonderful thing I ever I retract
everything have said against the district. You

place where you picked up that gold and when the
train returns myself and partner propose to stop

The people who live in the east end of the city
should take trip Sunday to the west end
and see the bridge being built by the county
and the Big Five. 1t is pretty structure and one

Glenn Carruth, who handles photo supplies and
develops the majority of the negatives taken by
by tourists states that the present year has been
the heaviest in that line in the history of the city,
far as his time here is concerned. All this is
good advertising. The photographs of Idaho
Springs best tell the story and show what we have
where words and figures would fail

out with one of the finest Photographic outfits in

President Birkins of the Chamber of Commerce
is doing hustling for the city and district.
The meetings of this body accomplish a great deal
of good and should occur often. There is every
to believe that Idaho Springs stands at the

there is question TO whether any other city in
the state can show the same splendid evidences of

complish a great deal of good and we are inclined
to believe that it will,
