A RAPID TRANSIT.
LOCAL PARTIES HAVE IN VIEW a
FETCHING ATTRACTION.
FIRE lADDIEs WORKING HARD
THEIR NEW YEARS EVE BALL WILL Ex.
Gel ALL THOSE PRECEDING.

That Idaho Springs next season vii
have double-power automobile added ,c
her numerous attractions is very prob
able. The project is being carefully con
sidered by a number of our prominent
citizens, from the standpoint of both
public policy and possible dividends. II
is argued that one or more automobile
routes to different points of interest will
be quite a drawing card and serve to
prolong the stay of summer visitors.
The plan of the promoters, some o'
whom. by the way. have for years been
active in stocking and otherwise improv-
ing different lakes in this locality, is to
raise sufficient funds to put the different
private wagon roads to lakes in good CON
dition, build new connecting roads where
deemed advisable. purchase one of the
very best machines in the market, and
convey tourists and others to scenic re-
sorts for a moderate fee.
For year past there has been consid-
erable talk OF inroducing automobiles in
this citv, for their novelty and as a fash
iouable amusement The favori,es ol
fortune whose surplus time and money
hang heavily on their hands. would by
this means be greatly relieved, it was ar
pued. The talk. however, has developed
into something more practical, aud il
carried out in its entirety. should result
IN great benefit all around.
.t. \ ..d,s,N. aud pfhes
mountain points automobiles are operated
successfully, pursuing their wav over
rough aud steep roads. indicates that the
contemplated venture is feasible in this
locality, where the roads are said to be
in better condition and certainly of no
worse grade.
II is argued that the grade between
here and the different lakes is gradual.
aud the machines coaid cover the dis.
tance so swiftly that the transition from
our Italian cline to the eternal glacier at
the foot of James peak, or to the work
shop of the storm king at Edith. Chicago,
Hassell and other lakes. that no fatigue
would be experienced.
A. Bossa OF this city, an experienced
chauffeur. has offered to cooperate in
the venture. In fact, he has for some
time bad in contemplation the purchase
and operation of an automobile. and it is
largely through his efforts that Others
have become interested. He has had
experience with automobiles on mountain
roads. and says the highways surround
ing this city are superior to those near
Leadviile and other Rocky mountain
points.
The successful, introduction OF auto
mobiles here, it is thought, would tend
toward the repairing and building OF
roads TO various points OF interest. as
well as the erection of suitable buildings
for the housing of tourists

LING ON PUBLIC PURSE.

AT the resumption of work in the dis
trict court. last Monday the first case
called was that of Richard Daily, who
was charged with stealing coal by the
wagon load from the Gold Coin mine.
and the complaint further added the
charge of burglary as it was cited that
DALEY had forced his way into the build
ing to get the fuel. The defendent,
while admitting that the coal was taken,
denied that il was done with felonious
intent, and proved extenuating circum-
stances. SO that under instructions from
the court the jury rendered verdict of
not guilty.
The disposition of this case cleared the
docket for the hearing of the cases CON
nected with the dynamiting cases and
the subsequent labor troubles of last

Godfrey Carlson returned the middle
of the week from sojourn of several
days in Denver. Speaking of the Ward
lode, in which he is one of the prime
movers, he states that the installation of
stamp mill as well as a holster is but
the question of a little time. Recent
tests at different mills of the vein matter,
outside the smelling streak, have proven
the values to be very satisfactory. The
intention is to put in large boiler and
engine, of sufficient power to run large
mill. But ten stamps will be installed at
first, but the foundation and other parts
of the mill will be of sufficient size to
permit OF enlargement when desired.
While there is seemingly no question as
to the future of the mine and the ultim.
ate necessity for large mill to treat the
extensive ore body, Mr.. Carlson argues
that it is better to build up slowly than
to begin on too extensive a scale.

JUST A LETTER.

Daytona. Fla, Dec. IL, 1908.
r. v. Connerat. Savannah, Ga:
Dear Sir: The PIERCE 61a H. P.
Stanhope 1 now own is the third au-
tomobile, all gasoline, I have had 1t
is the first one of which I could say
a good word at the end of the first
1000 miles. After running the PIERCE
1000 miles / cannot say too many
words in its praise. 1t might be said
that 1000 miles proved nothing, but
l have run mine that distance with
out any trouble at all. 1t has always
been ready to run, and to run per-
fectly. I have laid out just FIFTEEN
CENTS for repairs; that was for SOL
dering gasoline pipe. I have made no
repairs myself One thousand miles
isn't five thousand miles, but it is a
good starter. The first machine
owned, popular light runabout be-
gan to break pump connections the
first day, and a broken wire in some
inaccessible place is no small cross.
Then the cooling system was always
leaking and drizzling or getting into
the cylinder, or streaming out of the
cylinder from a faulty gasket. Next,
the main shaft bent. There was al
ways some kind of trouble. But l
wrestled with it for 5000 miles; then
l sold it and bought an s H. p. run
about. The chain soon stretched,
high speed clutch wore out, carburet-
tor gave no end of trouble water got
into cylinder, thought cast in one place.
In every way it was an aggravation.
l sold 1t at a sacrifice I bought the
PIERCE. That seemed to be made to
use. The material seems most excel
lent, the workmanship the same. In
every way it shows evidence of de-
sign. From my experience so far I
do not hesitate to recommend it to
intending purchasers who are willing
to pay for a good thing, and I can
assure them it will not pay to buy
a cheap automobile, or one at the
same price os the PIERCE if it is
lacking in one or many respects. It
is almost no work to care for a
PIERCE, other than such care as one
would give to a horse carriage. 1t
has no chain to keep clean, no external
fly wheel to throw mud up among
the machinery where it is almost inn
possible to get at. There is no pump
to get out Of order, in spite of which
fact the cooling system has been per-
fectly satisfactory. Judging from my
experience in the use of gasoline autos
and from examination of the favorite
machines sold in New York and Bos-
ton, and from riding in them with dem
onstrator, the PIERCE is away ahead
and 1 do not believe the nearest com
petitor is in sight. Very Truly Yours,
