that Idaho Springs needs more effective ad-
vertising. In the course of his remarks he
makes this statement eff every company
in the Idaho Springs district, or any ten
companies in the Idaho Springs district, ac-
complished as much in the way of adver-
tising as the Big Five Federation does, Ida
ho Springs could then enter into vigorous
competition with Cripple Creek
This statement is unquestionably true.
There is no gainsaying the fact that Idaho
Springs possesses the advantages, the ore
and everything that naturally contributes
to great mining district. II order to
make it great however, proper methods
must be advanced, proper energy must be
exerted, capital must be attracted to the
district and applied to the development of
the mineral resources.
There was time in the history of Grip
pie Creek, when the stock company was
decried, because the close corporations were
desirous of hogging everything for them
selves. The same spirit that prevailed in
Cripple Creek is manifestly apparent in this
district today
For some reason there are those who be-
1ieve it i'll advised to ask outside capital to
come into the district and help to develop
the mines, and make them what they
should be-
The energetic spirit of Cripple Greek pre-
vailed, the idea of stock companies held the
upper hand, and as a result, while it is true
that the wildcat element played its pranks,
and some investors suffered, the general
outcome shows itself in the production of
ores in Cripple Greek, which reaches from
one and one-half million to two millions of
dollors per month.
There can be no doubt that in the placing
of Idaho Springs upon the stock basis, that
the wild cat element will enter in to greater
or lesser extent. 1t is unfortunate that
this cannot be avoided. The investor must
protect himself, if he places money blindly
against the pretty sounding prospectus and
loses, it is largely his own fault. If he in
vestigates thoroughly and personally ifpos-
sible, and then makes his investment and
loses, he will at least know that he has
been treated honorably and has had what
might be termed in the vulgar vernacular,
IAN honest run for his money"

BEGIN TO ADMIT THEIR ERROR.

1t is just bit interesting at this time,
and especially in this section of the country,
to take glance backward at the political
situation and the proportions it assumed in
1906 AT that time Mr.. Bryan was the
candidate of the Democratic party, with
silver as the paramount issue. Colorado
gave him the most unanimous vote of any
state in the union. During these stormy
periods, it was considered dangerous to a
mans business interests to say that he was
in favor of the Republican candidate for
president. Business men in many of the
cities and towns boycotted the Republican
who had the courage of his convictions,
and stood by what he believed to be right
Leaders of the Republican organization
were boycotted, and abused, and the over
jealous disciples, in one or two cases, espec-
tally in Denver and Colorado Springs, re-
sorted to violence in showing their hatred
toward these men who had the courage of
their convictions. AT that time E. Benja-
min Andrews, president of the Brown uni
versity, and who became one of the most
active friends of free silver, went to Lincoln,
Nebraska, for the purpose of developing
new life in Mr.. Bryan's own state. In
1893 he was the unquestionable authority,
so far as the silverites were concerned.
Last Saturday in addressing a class at
the state university of Nebraska on the
subject of ''Ethics in Money he gave ex-
preston to these remarks: II confess the
r. Al, 7 fCr Of
years regarding the production of gold.
The output in gold has increased enor-
mously since 1890. By 1897 it had COM
pletely checked the fall which prices had
been undergoing since 1873, and since 1899
has caused a considerable rise in prices.
''From the advice of the great geologists,
both in this country and in Europe, and
the opinions of the practical miners of Col
orado whom l saw when visited Colorado
in ISo3, believed the greatest outputs of
gold were past | am willing to admit that
it was an astounding mistake and that l
was in great and inexcusable error. l now
believe the present enormous output of gold
will continue
This is a wonderful change when taking
into consideration the beliefs of few years
ago. Still more wonderful, however, is the
fall of the ideas expressed by Mr.. Bryan.
He told the people that the price of wheat
and tie Irice of silver would travel hand in
hand and that as one went down, the other
would fall Since that time dozens of illus
trations have come up to disprove this the
ory.
When silver was at its lowest ebb wheat
was selling at good price, almost reaching
its highest point; while on the other hand,
while wheat has been at the bottom of the
ladder, silver has been climbing toward the
top rung.
To the man who possessed the courage
of his convictions in 1896, these little ad-
missions that come out voluntarily, are in
deed interesting.

REPRESENTS A GOOD INVESTMENT

1t cannot be said that mining represents
the only good investment in the Idaho
Springs district Aside from the splendid
opportunity at present for making big in
terest on the money invested in the con-
struction of big hotel there is abundant
room for capital in the construction of cot
tages and terraces.
One gentleman purchased four lots for
81 900. Upon these he will construct five
houses that will cost him not to exceed
81, 500. They will represent little two or
three room cottages but they will be rent
able either i'll summer or winter and will
bring him from $40 to $50 per month net.
This will give some idea of the possibil
tiles open for the investor if they will take
advantage of them. No one need fear to
build-Idaho Springs will grow greater
with each year of the future. There is
nothing that can hold her back for she pos
sesses the resources that will make her
great.
Another feature that shows the need of
more cottages is the fact that rent is so high
not ought to be such that the workingman
is taxed too high for his rentals, for this
materially diminishes his earnings. 1t is
fact that higher wages must be paid
where living, or the cost of living, is so
much higher. We do not believe anyone
will gainsay the fact that Idaho Springs is
place where it costs considerable to live.
No proof is needed of this aside from the
monthly bill presented to the man who
rents or buys groceries.
Conditions in this regard can be changed
and we believe they should be changed.
Let us have larger number of cottages
that will rent at lower price than they do
now. 1t will mean success all round and
while the investor will not be able to get
the principal and interest back in three
years, the workingman will have chance
to lay little something by for rainy day,

WHAT ADVERTISING WILL DO.

In another part of this issue appears an
interview with Mr.. Frank Esham, editor of
the Commercial Tribune, of Denver. In
this interview he calls attention to the fact
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-05-30
I23

There appears to be considerable content
ion and the expression of considerable venom
as the result of the alleged action of the
school board. Before criticism is coming
the citizens should first determine positively
that some action has been taken. 1t is
manifestly unfair to accuse the board of do
ing something that it has not done. The
board is responsible for its acts. If it fails
to secure faculty that accomplishes as
much as the last one did the people will
hold it responsible and when the proper
time comes ask it to step down and out.
Of course this cannot atone for any mis-
take made and the harm that might be done
for the pupil population, but it is about the
only thing the citizens can do. So far as
the Burro is concerned he believes that the
past school term has been eminently salts
factory and inquiry develops the fact that
majority of the people are with him. The
board, however, may succeed in getting
even better material. If it can we will be
the first to take off our hats to tiff it does
not it should be censured in unmeasured
terms and unquestionably will be.

There is no doubt that the Labor Unions
lost in the recent battle with the Citizen S
Alliance of Denver. 1t did not lose be-
cause the people do not believe in the right
of labor to organize-no man will deny that
right to the workingman. 1t does deny
him the right, however, to picket, boycott
and resort to violence. 1t denies him the

Burro's
Brtefs..

An inquirer wants to know why it is that
so many properties become involved in
litigation as soon as it is proven that they
possess value. We can answer that by
saying that half the promoters pay no at
tention to the question of title. They make
any kind of a representation to sell a piece
of property and then let the company fight
the battle after it is Incorporated, attemps
to patent and runs up against the obstacle.
There ought to be some method of holding
these shysters responsible for their misre-
presentations, but as a rule, there can be no
method for they are themselves irresponsible
impecunious and reckless of their assertions.
AS soon as they have received the purchase
price of the property, or what ever they
are to receive out of the proposition they
become mil1ionaires. 1t is this class, as
rule, that heeces the Eastern man. No
responsible business man would attempt to
do what these people do for they have
sense of honor that would rebel at these
tactics. There is little danger where in
vestors are dealing with responsible parties
but they should always ascertain whether
they are or not before they attempt to deal
with the alleged mine managers and expert
sharks that prey like vultures upon the in
dustry and upon the investor as well.

And it seems that the Masons had one of

able fact that the citizens of Denver-less

1t is good for them to come up and see us

that we have over a half million on deposit
in the two banks or something like $500 per

visiting members of Oriental lodge made
a splendid impression while here. Sunday
morning every local mason was singing the
praises of the visitors from Denver. 1t is

New Orleans. La, Feb. 1S.-Early LiV
erpool advices were more favorable than
expected and our market in sympathy
opened to 3 points higher and improved

and interior receipts. The subsequent
weakness in Liverpool superinduced a
break of seven points from the top, but
near the close fresh buying was instru-
mental in establishing an advance of 3

closing practically unchanged from yes
terday's figures. The semi weekly in
terror receipts at the thirteen leading in
terror towns were $4,000 against $4,000 last
year. And the shipments were $4,000
against $4,000 last year The port re-
ceipts of the five days aggregate 100000
against 114,000 last year. The wire ser
vice throughout the country is poor, ow-
ing to the recent blizzard, and has no
doubt curtaled business to a considerable

for several days. Notwithstanding this
values hold remarkably well. There is
less demand for spots and exporters

leans. The movement to New Orleans is
evidently due to the speculative activity
in the cotton market. While New York
Exchange is at discount at Chicago it
is not probable that there is any large
movement of currency from the, West
to New York. Sterling Exchange con.
tinued strong in this market. These va
