who invests should know when he makes
the investment just what his chances are
He should be given to understand that the
mine will be conducted as good, fair, hon
est and honorable business proposition. 1t
is unfair to him and unfair to the district to
promise dividends i'll month
A mine that can pay dividends with a
months work needs no capital to get it 60
ing, as rule. Prospects must be except
ionally fortunate if they pay dividends in
three months or in three years.
The investor must take into consideration
the investment on his capital even if the
prospect pays i'll three years. If it is not
capitalized beyond reason the stock ought
to be worth dollar per share when it is
paying dividends. He pays probably one
fourth of that amount for it.
Under such circumstances he is several
times winner if it pays him in three years.
He has not only added to the value of the
property but the stock is worth four times
what it was when he purchased it and is
paying him good interest on the investment
The investor will find himself in much bet
ter shape when he comes to the conclusion
that these sensible features of mining should
be taken into consideration when he invests
his money.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-04-04
WHAT THE DISTRICT MUST DO.

The Idaho Springs district will succeed
and will come to the front within the next
five years as one of the most successful
mining districts of the state. 1t must not,
however, endeavor to crowd affairs too rapid
ly. 1t must not become so anxious to pay
dividends that the dividends are returned to
investors from the stock sold nor must it
neglect to develop the mines properly in
order that dividends may be forthcoming
for short time in order that the proposit-
ion may obtain a reputation as stock prop
osition that pays dividends. The stock
proposition must be conducted as fairly and
honestly as it is possible to conduct one.
The Eastern investor might just as well
realize one time as another that mining is a
business proposition. 1t requires capital
and experience to make mine Time is
another essential. Mines are rarely made
in day but requires years of hard work
and considerable expenditure. The man
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-04-04
IS GROVER IN CLOVER.

There is some reason for the belief that
the powers representing the majority of the
Democratic party nationally are grooming
Grover Cleveland as man to defeat Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
AT the present time it cannot be disputed
crat of the east and would poll larger vote
than any other man who could be named
Of course it is true that he is not popular in
the West but the fact remains that New
York, Chicago and one or two other of the
great cities of the nation really elect the
president.
What pleasing prospect to the Democ-
racy of Colorado? What glad songs they
would sing should the stuffed prophet be
again nominated as the standard bearer of a
party that had repudiated Bryan and the
Kansas City platform. And yet it is not
impossible and in many ways it might be
said that it is probable.
We imagine the people in Georgetown
who have kissed the hand of Democracy so
long and so faithfully would be pleased to
nave d1 OppOl " Cast d IOI the
old man Maria from Buffalo, recently of
Princeton.
1t is pretty hard to guage the feeling of
the Colorado Democracy at this time tits
pretty safe to say, howevey, that the real
leader of last fall, Charles S. Thomas, is
one of the brightest in the state and if he is
not white wing he has changed feathers
quite recently.
1t is pretty safe to say that if not Cleve-
land it will be some man who wears the
character of clothes so far as the political
questions of the nation are concerned.
Democracy in the West will have abundant
opportunity for weeping and wailing and
gnashing of teeth when it DISCOVERIES who
has been nominated for the presidency. 1t
will have one advantage, however, it can
vote for Theodore Roosevelt and realize
that it is voting for president who will re-
present the interests of the West
The change to come to the Democracy of
the land of co1umbine is liable to be one
that will set it thinking.

THE SPIRIT OF ENERGY.

There is a great deal of difference be-
tween the man who accomplishes something
for the community in which he lives and
the man who refuses to do anything, ex-
cept it be something that will tear down.
We know of men right here in the dis
trict who, when asked concerning some
mining proposition of which they practi-
cally know nothing will say "It is no
good because it is out of the belt" or, if it
was properly managed it would amount to
something" and expressions of this char
acter.
Time has so oft denied the alleged know
ledge of these so-cal1ed and self constituted
experts that it would look as if they would
begin to take a tumble. Once in while
you encounter a man inthe mining business
who is so benighted and dense that he still
believes in the theory that in order to build
up his own property he must destroy the re-
putation of someone else. In other words.
he believes that his property is good because
the other fellows isn't. Now this is argu-
ment for you, but it represents some of the
theories still prevalent in the district.
Every. mining district has its experts
the Idaho Springs district is no exception to
the general rule. These experts are hot
experts-they are simply people who prey
upon the public-parasites who feed upon
the flesh of the investor and of the pro-
moter-vermin who draw their nourishment
from both sides.
The Eastern investor will always do well
to avoid prospectus filed with opinions
from so-called experts. AS a rule such
opinions are paid for and are written just as
the publisher or editor of the prospectus de-
sires to have them written.
There will always be field for the hon
orable expert-the man who is real ex-
pert in the field of mining and we suppose,
ON the other hand there will always be
field for the alleged expert-the jack leg
miner who is to lazy too drive a drill and
probably not capable of so doing if he de-
sired. Every once in a while one encounters
a slob miner, who cannot hold job in any
mine, who has cash enough to purchase a
pair of high top boots, smear himself with
rock slime and step out into the world an
expert 1t is too bad this class of animal
must be tolerated but it will not become ex-
tinct as long as mining is one of the live
factors of the industrial world.
