Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-04-11

The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Argus Mines and Tunnel company,
held last Saturday brought out one fact
and that is that the local people are pleased
with their investment in the company and
pleased with the progress that has been
made. Outside stockholders also expressed
their appreciation of the good work done
1t is worth something to the outside stock
holder to know that local people have con
hdence in mining enterprise and to know
that where they have placed substantial in
vestment they will have substantial inter
est and will exhibit that interest differently
from what they would were they holding
whatever they might have in the way of
promotion stock as gift. The company
has accomplished more in one years time
by hand work than any other mining prop
osition in the district and the record of the
expenditure than $40, 900 shows that
it has been remarkably conservative in
everything.
Thursday Of last week Manager Allison.
of the hot soda springs was roaming around
cripple. A cane supported his emaciated
form and his clothes were of ancient and
holy date. On Sunday morning he was
seen dressed up after the manner of one of
the 400, his step was elastic, his voice was
musical and you could not see all his smile
and all of Santa Fe Mountain at the same
time. Besides this he was the father of
big girl born to him and Mrs. Allison on
the night previous and, was whistling

Springs mineral water will do for a man
If anyone should be grateful in his heart
and write a testimonial it is Manager Al
lison. Little Clyde, three years old and
past, had this to say concerning the in
truder; cit amt very big and has little
dinky toe nails and not much hair and not
any teeth at all but it is all right guess.
This is No. q in the Allison family-two
boys and two girls and the happy father
and mother are receiving all kinds of con-
gratulations.
yer as result of differences with their en-
p1oyers and the lack of eating facilities for
the population of the city again brings out
the idea that there is something wrong with
both sides to the labor proposition There
is no reason why the innocent public should
suffer from the wrongs committed by either
side. There is no reason why a man &C
customed to ordinary food should be com
PEELED to make raid ON a furniture estab--
lishment and eat up all the mattresses or
devastate the managers in the livery barns
in order to appease his hunger. There is,
something wrong when the innocent pub
lie suffers for the wrong of either the union
or the employers. 1t is proposition that
comes to the front in all strikes and lock
outs and is something that some kind of
legislation should be made to cover

Now that the election is a thing of the
past we will leave it with those interested
to say whether or not it would not have
been better to have had two tickets repres-
enting the local platforms and principles of
the two old parties. Is it not fact that
there would have been less personal feeling
today between the various candidates and
the people generally?
L. L. Roberts came up from Denver Sun
day and states that he proposes to remain
here now. Lou was not on the payroll dur
