Sunday last was really the first day of
the tourist and three cars were filled with
sight seers. 1t is claimed that if the strike
in Denver keeps up the people out of em-
ployment will put in their time riding over
the Loop and seeing the sights.

The conservation of water is becoming
the paramount question in Colorado. The
farming industry has expanded so literally
that the need of water for irrigation pur-
poses begins to appeal to the people. The
conservation of the forests will soon become
an equally paramount question The peo-
pie might as well meet them now as any
time.
A Denver mill man was in the city last
Saturday and in the course of his conversa-
ton admitted that he had visited the mill
at Wall Street and also the new one at
Rowena in Boulder county. He states
that the new processes for the treatment of
low-grade ores in that county are succeed
ing admirably. In some Instances the
steady and permanent saving of values
amounts to 90 per cent of the assay values
of the ore. The roasters, according to the
statement of this gentleman, "sulphides
are reduced to sulphates and completely OK
idized in from 80 to IS minutes" At the
present time these lowgrade mills are at
tracing general attention and it would paw
the mining men OF the district to look them
up and determine what there is in the.
stories in circulation concerning the success
of the projects.
1t pleases us to hear of the recent pro-
motion of John J. Goodrich better known
as Good Road Goodrich. He is well known
IN this city, having been travelling passenger
agent for the Rock Island at Denver and
royal good fellow in every part of the state.
He was promoted from Denver to Memphis
some time ago and now he goes from Memp-
his to St. Joseph, one of the most prominent
OF the Rock Island points. He leaves
the position of district passenger agent of
the Rock Island at Memphis to take even a
better one at St. Joe. He is bright rail-
road man and in every way merits the.
successful run of promotion he has had.
Every stranger that comes to the city be-
comes interested in the hot mineral springs
first and the mines as a later proposition.
This does not mean that the mines are sec
ondary but it does mean that people are
cognizant of the wonderful opportunities
presented by the springs for the city. ANY
business man from the east, or any man in
any manner connected with business propo-
sitions knows the value of these springs if
capital could be applied and the properties
made what they ought to be. The time
will come when these springs will become
one of the most valuable assets of the county
and when that time comes the people will
be surprised to think that it returns SO much
and that the proper effort in the direction of
making it a success had not been made be-
fore.
! One OF the interesting features connected
with the mining business now is that the.
investor from the east who visits Idaho
! Springs also visits Rollinsville before his re-
turn. The people of the east realize what
it is that has made the pioneers of Colorado
rich men. They realize that the man who
succeeds is the man who is willing to place
himself in the position of these pioneers and
the man who is willing to take the raw mat
