Bertillon's Remarkable Triumph

BeruIion, the expert who won unenvi- able notoriety in the Dreyfus case. has at last vindlcated his claims for his system of detection. A mysterious murder was committed in Paris lately and no clue was Iett by the murder except certain finger marks on a window pane. The streaks were photographed and enlarged and Bertillon identified them as belonging to a man who had undergone the anthro- bpometrtc system eight years ago. The man was found and arrested and the murder has been proved against him.

next year will bring an end to the
weary waiting.
Lewistown has grown in Importance
until railroad builders realize that
to obtain the business OF this great
section the road must come to the
city and though the grade was diff
cult to establish and necessary term
inal property Is expensive, yet no 9TH
er our was scarcely considered.
From the people, they have asked but
a right of way and certain guarantees
for the future, which have. with the
ull consent of the citizens, been CIV
on them by the council. After com.
pletion there will ne much more COM
m%unication with people in other cit
les of the state than now and Lew
istown will be brought nearer by the
equivalent of thousands of miles to
the great markets.
What effect the advent of a rail-
road may have on the growth of the
city only the future can tell. But
while a temporary boom may posi-
bly, result II certainly will not injure
the city for the business men are not
of the boom kind: they know values
when they see them; they won't be
stampeded and they won't be dis
couraged. Probably all will continue
in the same even tenor OF the past.

Whatever this is, should be added to
the production of the district. We feel
under obligations to the Daily Mining
Record, of ColoradoSprings, for the many
kind references it has made to the dis
trict and especially is this true during
the past year. The visits of Mr.. New
ton and Mr.. Reinert to the district per-
sonally has accomplished a wonderful
amount of good not only to the district
but for the Mining Record. They have
been afforded an opportunity to witness
the resources and possibilities of the dis
trict with their own eyes. They are men
who understand mining and have lived
in Cripple Greek where the eXertion of
the proper energy in the proper manner
has brought results.
Today they are helping the Idaho
Springs district and we believe that the
time will come when the district will
prosper as it never has before and when
its production record can be recorded
along side of big ones like Cripple Creek
