consigned the rest to the junk sailing up
Salt river, the present campaign, we say,
IS but the logical development of cam
paign methods which has been going on
in this country since the Blaine-Cleve-
land contest in 1884
The McKinley-Bryan campaign in 90
served to crystaliZe the sentiment which
had been growing in favor Of saner
methods in national political contests.
More campaign literature was used,
there were fewer spectacular displays,
and greater dependence placed upon the
intelligent consideration of the questions
at issue than upon unreasoning enthusi-
asm and blind party allegiance. And the
contest of 1900 served only to develop
and emphasize these methods, and as we
have already said, the present campaign
is but logical development of the
methods of the preceding contests.
Washington Irving, in his Rip Van
Wrinkle, gives us a glimpse of the po-
litical conditions which in the early his
tory of this country marked the contests.
Old Rip, after his 20 years of slumber,
comes back to find the political debater
drawing his crowds upon the street cor

MEkr OF FUTURE POLICY.

The changing room on the Newhouse
tunnel dump belonging to the Consoli-
dated Gem Mines company. took Ere in
soue manner at $40 O'Clock Thursday
afternoon, and was completely DESTROYED.
The alarm was sounded and the fire de-
partment responded quickly, considering
the muddy condition of the streets. A
bucket brigade was formed as soon as the
FIRE was discovered and by hard work
kept the FIRE from spreading to the other
buildings on the dump. The FIRE depart
ment had hose laid up to the FIRE and it
was but short time until the blaze was
extinguished.
The building was used as a storage and
changing room for the employees, and the
origion of the confagration is not known
Superintendent Carr had been in the
building but a short time before, and was
the only person there for some time. II
is possible that the fire started from a
candle dropping out of bug" or by
lightning striking the wires. The dam
age will amour, to fully $500 and there
was no insurance. Superintendent Carr
lost a valuable kit of tools.

testified to by witnesses that the doctor
would withdraw all suits upon the pay

two other conditions, and this was later
admitted by the doctor himself.
The probable result of the admission
will be that the doctor will get nothing

1t has not been the custom of the Con-

particular attention to rumors regarding
the operation Of Its properties, but for
the satisfaction of citizens and business
men. the management states that there is
no foundation whatever for the rumor
that the Gem mines will suspend opera

with the work already done. which will

The yearly production has steadily in
creased until today more ore is being
taken out than ever before The --latest,
machinery equipment is being employed
on all Of the properties. thus reducing the
cost of production. Tunnel mining hrs
been universally adopted as best suited

today there are over 50 miles of projected

As mill center, Idaho Springs IS one
of the largest in the west. In addition to
testing the ores of Colorado; Central
