as much, and sheep with waist meas

ordinary tape-line are now proudly ex-
hibiting their combined avoirdupOis at
the annual fat stock show at the en-

Stock exposition or, in fact, any other
organization for the exhibition of live
'meat."
No fewer than 5000 individual con-

ready snugly quartered on the grounds,
and several thousands Of delayed eX-
hibits are en- route. The show opened

or real estate investments tourists may
have made, which could be justly estimated
at several millions. He estimates the So
iourn of tourists at five days with an ex
penditure of $50 each.
Taking this as a basis then our benefits
to be had from possessing a tourist hotel
can easily be estimated. The hotel will ac-
commodate on an average sixty guests who
will spend five days in the city, which will
make total of 1880 tourists entertained
annually. At pro rata expenditure of $50
each it would bring into Idaho Springs
something like $2Io, 900 annually. Now
let us make an allowance for the winter
months and cut the total into-just to be
liberal, not that we acknowledge the justice
or need to do so-still leaves a grand total
of $Ioo, 500. Tourists generally make in
vestments while on their tours.
You say these figures are dreams maybe
they are, but a man gets good salary down
in Colorado Springs for making them to
a progressive organization of business men.
The figures are from source that cannot be
questioned very readily in Idaho Springs.
The grand total of S21e,ooo should be ac-
cepted as the great benefit such hotel will
be to the city. There is more apt to be a
waiting list of applicants for accommo-
dations at the Bradley hotel than a sign

not another pound of ore is mined before
that time
The principal office of the company is
located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, where many
of the most prominent and wealthy men of
the city are stockholders. The company
also has many stockholders in Idaho Springs
The company is the first and only one or
ganized in Clear Creek county within the
past twenty years that has paid dividends
monthly since its organization Please let
me get just little sarcastic, and ask why
some of our egotistic mining men of self
fame''-who calls Mr.. Bradley's work luck
has not been doing some of the same kind
of dividend paying. 1t is not that they
have no ore bodies equally as rich and ex-
tensive, for they have. What is the reason?
Besides paying dividends the company
has purchased large groups of valuable
mining properties in different sections of the
district; all of which, prospectively, are as
rich and will prove as profitable to the COM
pany as their present workings
AT the annual meeting in June next pro-
positions will be proposed and voted on
changing the name of the company from
"The Blue Ribbon Mining and Milling
Company to "The Blue Ribbon Mining,
Milling and Investment Company" and in
creasing the capital stock from $500 ooo'
to "$I 900, ,ooo"-the company having out
grown its present name and capitalization.

ALEX GREYHOFFER WRITES OF BRADLEY HOTEL.
Some Talk OF the Commercial
Benefits to the City of Idaho
Springs and Our People.

AT first thought one hardly realizes
the financial importance of the new
Bradley hotel to the city, and to everyone,
whether he be business man, a professional
man, a miner or laborer. 1t is an enter
prise that will benefit ALL and will receive
the cooperation of all. 1t should be so,
whether one has schemes of his own to
promote or not. And why, because it will
bring into the city something like $Ioo, 900
annually, without estimating cent that
guests of the hotel may invest in our mines
or real estate, or in building homes here.
Let us figure some and see if the state
ment is only a dream or has some sub
stantial foundation on which to stand.
Colorado Springs has grown to be the
greatest resort and tourist city in Colorado,
with a very few of the natural resources of
Idaho Springs. The secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce in that city is paid large
salary annually to look after the tourists
business, and which is repaid as best tod in
his recent report. In this report he makes
especial mention of the increased CONNER
cial benefit to the city of nearly s. 900, 900
yearly from the completion of the Antlers
hotel. He does not figure on any mining

The Blue Ribbon Mining, Milling
and Investment Company and
Its President and MANAGER.

MNE can not speak of the grand success
of the Blue Ribbon Mining and Mill
ing company and their workings without
speaking of j. N. Bradley, as so much of
the real personality of the man is in its sue
cess and work. 1t is all very we'll for some
of the ''would-be expert" mining men tell
ing me that his success is simply luck. 'Tis
not true, but far seeing foresight and con-
servative management of good mine. He
has been mining and leasing in Clear Creek
county for the past twenty years and has
been as equally successful with all of his
undertakings. Who can show a better
record? But it is my intention to write of his
company rather than of the man; but, as
1 have said, writing of the Blue Ribbon
company is only another way of writing of
Mr.. Bradley and his successes.
The Blue Ribbon Mining and Milling
company was organized less than a year
ago, and has paid dividends since the first
of July last, of one and two per cent per
month, and there are sufficient funds in the
treasury of the company to pay one per
cent dividend per month to June Ist next.
And this will be done without breaking in
on the working capital in reserve, even if
