"I will not go to see Anna Held unless
can hold her myself, is the way they all
sang in the city last week.

Idaho Springs is the strenuous city. She
has the largest per capital deposit of any
city of the size in the state-nearly SI7o.
1t is about time Uncle Sam was doing
something to tilt the postoffice into the
higher class. We are not inclined to find
fault with the government but it is mighty
slow at times.
One of the excellent features in connect
ion with mining is the fact that home
people are beginning to interest themselves
in the various stock companies advertised
and incorporated in the district. This really
expresses more than anything else for
where home man is willing to interest and
invest his capital there is an opportunity for
good investment for outsiders.

1 am told that the Blue Ribbon company
means business and that it will be the first
to erect a good hotel for Idaho Springs. 1t
will be up on the hill and an elevator will
be run to accommodate the people-a prop
osition that will interest tourists and I'M
doubtedly become one of the most popular
propositions of the city in a tourists sense.
The report that Governor Peabody would
veto an eight-hour law if passed by the

window of his pawnshop, as it were, with
the notice attached For sale at S4. oS-
Unredeemed pledge" Is it coming to this
in national affairs?
Just so long as the Denver News and
Times continue to run pictures of their
political friends as they do just SO long will
the Republicans of the state have reason to
know who the real Republicans are. One
day the Times published the pictures of six
Democrats who contributed to the election
of Senator Teller and the next day it was
kind enough to publish the pictures of
Goudy, Stewart Mears and Stevens
Republicans who contributed to the election
of Teller. Isn't this. nice nest of love
birds?
81 know that representatives of the funds
of various insurance companies of the East
have been out here looking up the mining
interests remarked we'll known mining
man the other day. "This was the first
step in the direction of the wonderful sue
cess of Cripple Greek. The insurance COM
panies find mining splendid outlet as an
investment proposition but they place it
where it is absolutely safe. The gentlman
who was here i'll the interests of the syndi-
cate stated that the conservative nature of
the Idaho Springs district had attracted the
attention of investors of this class and from
what he said to me considerable capital will
be forthcoming in the future from that
