Likes This District.

P. S. Stone, of Philadelphia, Pa, is reg
istered at the Club hotel. In speaking OF
the Idaho Springs district as a place for
investment he said he considered 1t the
best field for mining in the entire world.
"Nhat impresses me most favorably, "
said he, lis the stability of everything.
That is the most essential thing in any
community. The mines here are pro
ducers but you do not hear of strikes
that run up in the hundreds of thousands
and then never produce a five cent piece
Such reports as the above hurt a district
and that is just the reason why Idaho
Springs stands so well in the east"

Home From the East.

DIR. J. B. Finucane and wife, who went
east about five weeks ago, returned home
last Sunday. While gone they visited in
Lima, N. Y, the former home of the doc
tor. They report having had a most
pleasant journey, but were glad to be
able TO return to Idaho Springs. "The
east is good place to visit, " said the
doctor, but when you get down to good
living there is only one place and that is
Colorado, The people in the part of New
York that I visited are little shy about
making mining investments for the rea-
son that large number have been taken
in by fake companies However, they
are not afraid to put their money down
when they know they have an equal
chance and that the investment is a con-
servative one" The doctor and Mrs
Finucane both prospered by their visit.

The Best Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison Kan. Daily Globe
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle of
the night by whoop from one of the
children. The Group remedies are al
most as sure to be lost, in case of Group,
as revolver is sure to be lost in case of
burglars. There used to be an old
fashioned remedy for Group, known as
hive syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost so
much. 1t causes the patient to "throw
up the phlegm" quicker and gives relief
in a shorter time. Give this remedy, as
soon as the croupy cough appears and it
will prevent the attack. 1t never fails
and is pleasant and safe to take. For
sale by J. ]. Sherwin, druggist.

A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS.
Ball Given by Miners Union One of the
Events of Season.


Events Of Season.
1t was an occasion long to be remem-
bered. 1t will remain memory not
only by the members of Idaho Springs
Miners Union No 1856 but by large
number of the most prominent citizens OF
Idaho Springs.
The ball given by the union last Fri
day night proved even greater success
than was even expected. 1t was social
function not to be forgotten. In fact, it
was the event of the season.
Men and women of Idaho Springs do
not held themselves aloft simply because
they happen to be in company with the
man who produces the precious metal by
good, hard honest work. The citizens
are noted for their hospitality among all
classes. When the orchestra struck up
and the grand march was announced
there were nearly 100 couples in line.
Some were rich while others were not,
but nevertheless the feeling of good fell
lowship prevailed. 1t was happy crowd
and just the same as one large family.
All honor to the miner-the laboring
man. The people who attended this
dance we're there for the purpose of as
sisting the miners in noble and worthy
cause
In fact everyone present pronounced
themselves as having had a most enjoy
able time.
Good order prevailed throughout the
entire evening, and the entire program
passed as smooth as it would be possible.
The programs were the handsomest
ever presented at dance given in this
city. As each lady entered the door she
was handed a program to which was at
tached pencil. 1t was the intention of
those in charge to give the gentleman a
program with tassle but that move was
frustrated.
Much credit is due the management of
this social function. The executive COM
mittee consisting of John T. Crimmins
Thomas II. Hugo, Howard Tresidder
John f. Chandler and George Z. Seig-
rist. did their work well and at the con-
cluson it was found that a neat sum had
been added to the treasury Of the union.
Koeinsburg's orchestra furnished the
music and it was pronounced the best
that was ever in the city.
The grand march was led by Mr.. and
Mrs John T. Crimmins, and fully 100
couples were in line.
The supper given by A. II. Page, Of the
Saddle Rock restaurant proved to be a
rare feast. Mr.. Page is to be congratu-
lated on preparing such an elegant re-
past at SO short a notice. Eighty five
were present.
Among the most prominent people
who were present might be mentioned

LEADING MEN OF THE IMPE=

The firm of OakleyPaulin Co., have taken very active part in the development of the Imperial Settle ments Nearly two years ago this firm became general agents for the sale of water rights under the Imperial Canal Sysem and through their subagents which were located in all the principal towns of Southern California; large percentage of the stock of Imperial Water Con5 panys No sold n
 This firm is composed of Dr. J. w. Oakley, his brother H. C. Oakley and F. C. Pauln.
 When the California Development Company and the Imperial Land Company organized several weeks since by the retirement of George Chaey the members of the firm of OakleyPauin Company purchased large interest in the stock of those companies and immediately took active part in the management of their affairs

 ing for sixty miles through Lower California, and it was physical and financial impossi- bility to construct that canal from the Colorado River to the Imperial Settlements through United States territory However system of Mutual Water Companies were incorporated in California, the stock of which companies should be owned by the owners of the land to be irrigated on a basis of one share to each acre of land, and these companies were to obtain their supply of water from the Imperial Canal under a contract providing for a perpetual delivery of water at fixed price, which price enabled the irrgators to get the cheapest water in Arid America, con sidering the fact that an abundance of water could be had any day in the year These Mutual Water Companies were incorporated to furnish water to their stockholders only so that land owner who owned no stock could not get any water at any price.
 These Mutual Water Companies were also put on an equal footing as regards cost of stock and cost of water and there could be no prior right to the same, as there was more than enough water for all,
 Imperial Water Company No, was incor- porated with 100000 shares of stock to irri- gate 100000 acres of land. The land to be irrigated by this company is located between New River the west and Carter River on the east, and extends from the International Boundary line to point few miles north of the town of Imperial
 Imperial Water Company No was incor- porated to irrgate 100000 acres of land on the west side of New River to the northwest of Imperial.
 Imperial Water Company No 4 was incor- porated to irrigate I2,5oo acres of land be- tween the two rivers north of No l.
 Imperial Water Company No, was incor porated to irrigate 100000 acres of land, known as Eastside, located east of Carter River.
 Imperial Water Company No. was incor- porated to irrigate 25,ooo acres of land on the west side of New River next to the boundary line
 Each of these companies has a contract with the companies owning the Imperial Canal whereby 1t is to receive perpetuay from such main Imperial Canal water for as many acres of land each season as it has outstanding shares of stock at the uniform price of fifty cents per acre foot, which is equal to about two cents per inch for twenty-four hours flow The owner of the land is entitled to receive four acre feet for each acre of land for which he owns water stock, if he needs that much water, but is required to take one acre foot of water for each acre each year
 Each mutual water company owns its own distributing system of canals and manages that system and distributes the water under its control among it's stockholders.
 Cost of Water Rights.
 The stock of these Mutual Water Com panies is held at the same price in all of the companies This price has been gradually advanced as the settlement has grown, the present price being-Apr I5 1oo2-from $I3.5o to $I5.oo per share. This price is sub ject to further advance without notice. This price pays for the cost of the distributing sys- tenn of canals and for the right to perpetually

 GOO1 Cheap and
 Profitable Home?

tnOuSaluS-O1 peOple III the OIlted StdlSS- many of them on the Pacific Coast-yes, in Southern California-men of limited means, who would be very glad to secure tract of good, fertile land with good water right, on which they could build home and at the same time accumulate a property that would make them independents so far as this worlds goods is concerned, in few years time.
 Reader, if this statement fits your case it will pay you to read carefully this article, and then give the subject herein considered good, careful, personal investigation.
 Government Land.
 Fifty years ago the Great West was open to settlement and cheap land could be had, almost for the asking, in the Western States. People hocked westward and took up those lands made good homes, accumulated prop erty and built up States.
 Those lands are all gone now. Public lands that are worth having are very scarce. As rule if found at all, they will be found under irrigation systems; and irrigated lands as a rule are high-prced, because of the cost of the irrigation systems; but they produce bet ter crops thar lands that depend on the rain fall.
 Irrigation is cheaper than rain. Why? Be cause under a reliable irrigation system a rancher need never lose crop from want of moisture. Under other conditions-where the clouds must be depended upon for moisture, a partial failure of crops is the rule.
 Imperial Settlements.
 The only place in the United States of any importance where the searcher for home get good Government land under reliable 4. II 1f e.. Diego county, Southern California, in what is l<i.own as the Imperial Settlements.
 These Settlements will eventually cover about 5oo,ooo acres in California and about half as much more in Lower California.
 Nearly one third of that portion of the irr- gable tract in California has already been taken, and water rights secured for the same. Several thousand acres are now being put under cultivation and before the close of 1902 it is believed that fully I5oooo acres will be supplied with water
 The Irrigation System.
 Water for irrigating this large tract of land is being taken from the Colorado River, through what is known as the Imperial Canal This canal heads in California, then passes over the International Boundary line into 
 line into California, and is about sixty miles in length.
 This canal is the property of The California Development Company That portion of the canal in Lower California is the property of a Mexican corporation-La Sociedad de Yrri- gacion y Terrenos de la Baja CalifSre:a (Sociedad Anonima) the stock of .h1ich Mexican corporation is owned by The Califor- mia Development Company, and this Mexican corporation also owns 100000 acres of land in Lower California through which the I'm perial Canal passes

 It desirable that the owners of the land to be irrigated should own and control the irrigation system and water rights, so far as practicable but it was legal impossbty for them to own the main Imperial Canal, extend
