Chicago Creek will be recognized as one of the
greatest producing sections of the Idaho Spring.

Sftings has correspondent in Denver who
sends articles for publication with regularity that
is pleasing but he writes such horrible hand that
it is impossible to decpher it. If the gentleman
desires to see his matter in print he should have il
typewriter life is short for the uniuitiated
decpher all the signs and sombols intended for
letters. We believe the matter is good and would
be interesting but it is terrible to contemplate from
the sense of expert handwriting.

The Typo tunnel, up Soda Greek, is assuming
proportions right along and is becoming some
thing of landmark in that section already. The
fact that Santa Fe mountain has produced such
rich float in the past and that it has always been
considered exceptionally rich point is adding to
the efforts of the printers to penetrate the
tain and see what it contains. Since the Typo
Mines and Tunnel company started work on this
mountain, old time mining men have once again
taken interest in this section.

As was to have been expected there is some
complaint regarding the moving of the resorts and
it is even stated that some of them have not been
moved Opposition all develops to proposition
of this character for this class of people have their
supporters. While the support may not be open
it is covert and technical. The fact remains how
ever that the great majority of the people, be-
lieve ninety per cent of them are opposed to the
idea of having place of disrepute running within
a few yards of the cemetery.

Mr. Seidler showed the proper spirit when he
.t.-
tion to Idaho Springs and succeeded in getting the
invitation accepted. Whenever any lodge or assoc
iation sends delegate to a meeting it should
send someone who will dig out results as Mr.
Sedler did There is no reason why Idaho Springs
should not become one of the greatest convention
cities the state In future years the big Troca-
dero will answer the purpose of an auditorium and
be large enough to seat the largest of the conven-
tions
Idaho Springs captured game from the Denver
base ball fans last Sunday and is happy result
Now they say that Manager Rowe can handle a
winning team in good shape. 1t is always the
case. When fellow is winning at base ball he is
right in the swim and is the best for the place
When he loses then the opposite is always chalked
up against him. AT the time he is the same
fellow and is exercising the same judgment but the
facts with him in the case and against him
in the other. hope the boys will get winning
streak and atone for ell the losses made in the
forepart of the season.
During the past week we have received dozen
letters of inquiry concerning mining propositions
in this district We have stated over and over
again in these columns that we did not have the
time to devote to replies to such questions Be-
sides, this cannot all these questions
satisfactorily We cannot visit all the properties
personally and inspect them and before we can re-
ply to many we have to ask the of the prop
erty and take their word for it. Under such cir
cumstances the writer might just as we'll believe
what he sees in the prospectus. Get an engineer
to visit the property.
1t does fellow good to meet a man like Dan
Mason who is interested in the Golden Hecla the
Bowman Development company and the Mason
consolidated company operating in the Idaho
Springs district. Mr.. Mason is a man who be-
1ieves in mining as mining should be done He is
not believer in the idea that any proposition that
will sell stock is good enough but has made it his
business to find out what there was to be had and
what the prospects for success before ventur-
ing his own capital or asking others to Join him
From what am able to learn the Golden Hecla
contains some splendid values and when it be-
comes known that this company has met with the
success it really has there will be influx of peo
pie to that section of the district. Mr.. Mason is
good-natured, good-hearted and it is too bad that
we cannot keep him here permanently a citi-
zen 1t just such men Mr.. Mason we need
here in Idaho Springs. Those who can step in
