having consumed It himself, and
whether he dosed Sam with anthony
or corn salve we never knew. What
ever it was, 1t killed the miner in about
three days, and the doctor got out of it
by explaining:
"He was beyond saving. He had
probably inherited febris finitus from
his parents, and working with the
shovel and pick had gradually pushed
the. ventricle against the pulmonary
pylorus until the hearts action was
stopped" .f aN
We accepted the explanation, and
he was next called in to see miner
named Dobbs. The man had touch
Of rheumatic fever, but his case was
diagnosed as a "transcendent case of
carotid. artery threatening to interrupt
the workings Of the lateral tibia," and
he was dosed accordingly. AS near
as we could learn, the dose was made
up of rosln, black pepper and bacon
grease, and perhaps the fever killed
Dobbs instead of the medicine. At any
rate, he died in couple of weeks, and
the doctor could not have saved him.

A Flying Hotel.

"The Golden State Limited" recently
placed in service between Chicago and
California by the Rock Island System, is
beyond doubt the most practical train
ever constructed. Bath rooms, barber
shop, library, dining service, electric
lights, electric fans-in fact every con-
trivance imaginable.
The Rock Island was the first line to
establish low excursion rates between
the east and Colorado, and the officials
will not cease to expound every effort to
continue to increase the popularity of its
resorts. With this in view, it will not be
surprising to see in the very near future
such trains as the "Colorado Flyer" and
the "Rocky Mountain Limited" similarly
equipped.
One thing is certain, there is never
anything better than the Rock Island
Service, and its dining car system is in
comparable.

We Disagree With the Investors Review.

|
The Investors Review is New York
publication, protesting to guard the in
terests of its readers, and prevent then
being swindled by purchasing wildcat
stocks. In any such honest attempt, BY
anybody, anywhere, we heartily concur
and our concurrence is still more en-
phatic if the matter in hand be intelli.
gently, as well as honestly handled.
In a reply to a correspondent this pub
lication says that it has an 'unfavorable
opinion OF these widely advertised min
ing companies, A good wine needs no
bush, and good mine no push"
The Siftings certainly think that point
is badly taken; for while the sentence
may be snappy, cute and epigrammatic,
1t is, in our opinion. quite untrue; for a
good mine does need "push," and plenty
of it, even in the advertising line.
The development of good mine costs
money, often quite lot of it; and it is
very rare indeed, that the locator of a
really good mine has money enough to
make mine out of his prospect; and the
only way this can be done is to get
others to join him in doing so.
Nowadays the easiest way to get any
thing is to advertise for it; and this re-
fers also to the getting of capital. Even
great financial houses likeJ. P. Morgan
& Co, when they have any financial Of
ferings to make, place them before the
public through large advertisements; and
if these kings of finance find it necessary
so to do, it certainly is not likely that
the every day mining man, who needs
capital, can do otherwise.
Another reason why we don't believe
the little flip statement of the writer
above referred to- is that in these days Of
loud-voiced, big, space-flling mining
and other fakes, there is no chance fol
the honest mining or other enterprise
unless it makes itself heard, not in the
same crazy, megaphone voice as the
fakir, but with the distinct utterance Of
the well-worded advertisement of the
business-like mining undertaking.

New Company Organized to Build Mill
and Smeltsr.
One of the greatest mining enterprises
of the present year was recently launched
by the filing of the incorporation papers
of the Treasure Mountain Mining com
pany. The purpose of the company is to
operate the Mary Ann group of mines at
the head of Geneva gulch in the SOUTH
western portion of this county, to build
and operate a large concentrating mill
on Geneva creek near the properties for
the treatment of the large quantities of
low-grade ore developed. and to build ex-
tensive smelling works near Denver.
The company owns eight claims, in
Guiding the Mary Ann and Lady Louise,
extending 5000 feet on the famous Rath-
bone vein on which in the immediate
vicinity are located the Pennsylvania,
Great Republic, Silver Cord, Silver Ware
and other heavy producers. In the
Mary Ann and Lady Louise the vein is
thirty feet across, carrying several large
streaks of smelling ore and the entire
vein filling is profitable mill dirt.
There are several thousand tons of ore
developed from which regular shipments
will begin soon.
