IDAHO SPRINGS A WINNER.

Mr.. Charles A. King returned from
an extensive trip to Memphis and other
points in the South this week and his re-
marks concerning the general feeling to-
ward Idaho Springs as tourist point as
well as mining district will be of inter
est. He says:
81 found the people of the South with
abundant capital to invest and with a
warm place in their hearts for the Idaho
Springs district. There is no difficulty
experienced in financing mining propo-
sition if one goes at it in the right way
and is floating a proposition that is fair
to the investor as well as to the promot-
err. So far as the tourist business here
is concerned, we could fill big hotel in
this city every summer with guests from
Memphis alone. They complain of the
accommodations, and righteously so. l
found that the Shining Mark and the
Mining Shark the little book was doing
some good and working along the same
lines myself, it acted as an aid because
it shows that the people here are inclined
to be fair with the outside INVESTOR
Mr. King strikes the keynote when he
states that the people will willingly in
vest if they are assured that they are in
vesting in a proposition where it is not
all one-sided and in favor of the promot-
err 1t is about time that some of these

The opinion expressed by L. c. Rob
ertson, editor of the National Banker of
Chicago, shows we'll for the district and
expresses what every visitor would ex-
press were it possible to have every in
vestor here on the ground. During the
past year the people of the East have
been placed in a position where they
could determine the merits of the Idaho
Springs district and the volume of capi-
tai that is being brought in best ipdi-
Gates the feeling of these Eastern people
in regard to its permanency and its fut-
ure prospects and opportunities.

Two more communications have been
received calling attention to the very bad
grammar employed in the paper. If we
can discover the name of the writer, we
will show him line or two of grammar
that will appeal to him as being pretty
good. 1t is mighty mean to chide fell
low for lacking that which he did not
have the cash to obtain-an education.

The idea of a board of mines where
every property can be listed is not bad
one-let us hear from the people and
bring out the good and bad side of the
proposition.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-12-13

New strikes are so common in the
district that they cause but little COM
ment. In every section the good news of
good luck and big strikes follows devel-
opment. This is a condition of affairs of
which we can all feel proud.

soon be in shape to proceed again and
that it will represent everything new and

Keep saying good words for the dis
trict. The truth is good enough and the
citizen of Idaho Springs who can tell it
even as good as it is, represents a highly
eloquent man.

Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-12-13

In preparing for Christmas 1 want to suggest
to readers of Sftings that they purchase their hol
iday goods here at home where it is possible for
them to do So and in most cases it is. Denver
merchant stated the other day that prices would be
high in Denver this year on everything, that the
merchants were paying exhorbitant rent and that
they compelled to charge big prices for every
thing Under such circumstances there is no reas-
on why the people should not be able to purchase
Just as cheaply here at home. Every dollar you
pay out here at home goes to help home people.
If Mr.. Nelson, Mr.. Weinberger, Mr.. Anderson or
any of the merchants prosperous it stands to
reason that the people will enjoy some of their
prosperity. Every time you take dollar to Den
yer it takes just that much out of circulation here
in Idaho Springs and the circulation at home is
what counts in the total of prosperity. Keep
this in mind. We believe the merchants here will
soon begin to realize the benefits to be derived
from newspaper advertising. We believe they will
find that it pays to tell the people their prices on
bargains through the newspapers Let the people
get in the habit of looking at the advertisements
to see where they purchase what they desire
the cheapest and they will quit much of their
dealing with Denver stores. In the mer-
chants here are largely responsible for the fact
that many people purchase in Denver. They do
not tell the people what they have the Denver
merchant does and a result the readers of the
Denver papers do some of their shopping in Den
yer. If our home merchants would stop to think
of this proposition they would see where the Den
yer merchant is winning He is good advertiser
and keeps his goods and his prices constantly be-
fore the people. He would do this year after year
and pay the prices he must pay for contracts with
the Denver papers if 1t did not pay him. Siftings
would like to see the merchants of Idaho Springs

Dental possibilities, at least on the
democratic side Of the house. And
this, after all, may prove the great
est possible blessing TO the country
generally and the democratic party
in particular. If there is any one
thing that the democratic party
needs more than all things else it's
a leader. This we will n ever have
