vertisements from Idaho Springs indicating
that certain postofice boxes were desirous
of getting married. One of the advertisers
was woman and we have it also from
good authority that she received the follow
ing reply:

Idaho Springs is starting right She has
captured the Jackson Park, she will cap
ture the Carnegie library, she has captured
game of baseball from Georgetown, there
is reason to believe that we may get the
cadet encampment, hotel is on the way,
the Red Men and Daughters of Pocahontas
will be here during the summer and for
tune seems to be knocking at the door every
day. 1t is pretty good scheme in these
schemes to follow the advice of the gam
bier: "Play heavy while you are having a
run of luck"
The meeting to secure the Carnegie lib
Springs. 1t was unanimous from start to
finish. If there were those who opposed it
they allowed silence to give assent. When
ever the people of a city get in a position
and condition where they can toll in the
harness in such loyal style there can be no
question regarding the future. Where one
half of the people are willing and the other
half hangs back the proposition is a differ
ent one. While we are on the right road
let us keep it and place Idaho Springs on
the map as one of the finest and largest
cities of the state. We have gold, silver,
scenery, health, wealth and everything to
form the basis of great city-let us employ
these factors to advantage.
The Lucania Tunnel company has issued
one of the finest prospectus we have ever
seen in this district. 1t is a poem of the
printers art and guide to the investor
that is well worth reading. 1t is worth
ones time to look over the oook-bubbling
over with historical facts and undeniable
facts pertaining to the present. This
method should always be employed in is
suing prospectus. 1t is a shame to make
them book guaranteeing millions, telling
impossible stories concerning the PROPOSE
tions advertised and in every sense foolish.
Yet the latter class appear to have the in
side track with the investor. The time is
not far distant, however, when investors in
mining will look with righteous suspicion
upon these promises of millions and get
rich-quick" propositions. The sooner that
time arrives the better it will be for the
mining industry of the state. The best ad-
vice we could offer to a mining company
would be that they should be careful re-
garding the matter contained in the pros
pectus. Make it SO that when party de-
string investment comes out to see the prop
erty he will find it better than the story in
the prospectus claimed that it was.
