Triumphs Of Modern surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be re
moved entirely; bones are spliced; !;
pipes take the place of diseased sec.
tions of veins; antiseptic dressings
are applied to wounds, bruises, burns
and like injuries before inflammation
sets in. which causes them to heal
without maturation and in one-third
the time required by the old treat
ment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts
on this same principle. II is an anti.
septic. and when applied to such in
juries causes them to heal very quick.

The Id h O Springs Festival

The people Of Idaho Springs have re
solved to hold a festival about the middle
Of next August. beginning on the eigh-
tccnth Of the month. To il visitors from
all parts oi the state viii be invited, and
the residents OF Idaho Springs viii to the
utmost OF their ability contribute 10 the
pleasure of all why may take advantage
Of this opportunity 10 zee their town.
Many towns on the plains OF near the
foothills have made provision at different
times fof festivals Of this kind, but il viii
he something almost unique for mouH-
tain town like idaho Springs to venture
along this path. In the fact that it is a
mountain town there will however. be All
added attraction. for residents Of Denver
and other cities on the border OF the
plains enjoy nothing more than little
excursion into the mountains.
This occasion viii give the people Of
Idaho Springs an opportunity TO present
the attractions Of their town as tourist
or pleasure resort For years We have
been disposed 10 find fault with them ina
irieadly way for paying less attention
than they should TO this one OF their ad-
vantages. They have been 30 occupied
in developing the mineral resources of
the adjacent mountain region that they
have seemed 10 have little true or inelin-
tioa to advertise the attractions Of Idaho
Springs IN other respects. In truth. how
ever. il has everything that one could
ask in pleasure resort, and this fact
should become more widely and generally
Republican.

list Of the many gigantic enterprises
in prospect for this ciiy and camp in the
near future would he long one, and the
publication OF ], for general distribution
throughout the east and among prospect
i've investors would result in incaicuable
good to the entire community. In the
first place, the resumption Of work on tho
breast of the Newhouse tunnel would ap-
parcntiy lead all other enterprises from
the fac; that il is one of the largest tunnel
enterprises in the wes, and will open up
a vast extent OF mineral territory that has
practically laid dormant. 1t would open
the vast ore bodies of the great Saratoga
and Old Town mines rs well as develop
others that viii probably prove of equal
value when the famous Quartz hill section
is cut. Il gives TO this mineral belt easy
access TO the railroad at little expense
and reduces TO a minimum the task OF
unwatering the properties. The adyant-
age of the tunnel has already been dem
ons,rated in the completion OF the Gem
raise through which today there is coming
great quantities OF ore for the Newton
mill. and as the ground Is developed il
will make the erection OF the proposed
mill at the portal OF the tunnel impera-
tive in order to avoid the transportation
from the mine to the mill. And the day
is not far distant when the Lakewood
road will connec, the tunnel with the
owners of the road are likewise closely
connected with the tunnel and the mines
which i, intersccts.
There are already a dozen or more
custom mills in operation here now and
several more contemplated. but even with
this number they are unable to at all
times handle the business that is offered
to them. and as the many new properties
that are now being developed commence
to ship the product, the congestion will
become more apparent.
The early resumption OF the great
Stanley mine predicates unusual activity
in that section and the confidence that it
inspires will have very saiutary effect
The Central tunnel is driving away
with commendable zeal and daily open
ing up territory that carries large and
valuable veins, and mill Wilt be built
opposite the portal to handle all the ore
that can be taken from it. Surveys for
this mill have been made and work on
the structure will be commenced shortly
The Lucania is driving ahead steadily
and has no superior in the west as a tun-
mel proposition. In point Of distance to
cut the mineral belt of Quartz hill ii has
great advantage in distance, and even
now is working in ground that is rich in
mineral wealth.

No HHrTKR news vas ever given to the
people Of Clear Greek and Gilpin counties
than the announcement that all differ
enecs had been adjusted between the
Saratoga and Newhouse tunnel COM
panies, and that within the month work
would be resumed at the breast Of
the Sewhouse. The effect OF this good
news i far reaching aud Of vast impor-
tancc to this city. and the men who have
united to make this thing possible are
entitled to the congratulations of the
people of both counties. This work will
have the effee, OF stimulating interest in
all mining enterprises in this section, and
materially aid less fortunate companies
in interesting capital with which TO com
p.etc their plans, for when the owners of
the Ncwhouse demonstrate their belief in
the mineral resources of the comfy by
putting a vast siim Of money into a tun.
mel enterprise, II is an assurance to all
that there IS no question as to the relia-
hility OF mining investments here. While
the plans OF the tunnel company at pres
ent only contemplate driving to the Sar-
atoga, it is reasonably expected that once
that great vein is cut the tunnel will be
continued to Quartz hill in order to de-
rive the transportation benefits that will
come from Gilpin county's great mines.
1T il stated that as low estimate at
least three-fourths Of the taxpayers of the
city are in favor OF the issuance OF the
bords whereby Idaho Springs would Sc
enre an adequate water system that would
meet the needs OF a rapidly growing com
Iuunity. In fact. the only expressed
opposition, Il il may be called such, arises
from desire On the part of some to know
IN a measure just where the money raised
from the sale of the bonds would be ex-
pended and to what end. This question
Is answered by the written statement OF
Of the city council which appears in
another column, and is as near complete
recital OF the irtent Of the officials as can
be made without the actual plans and
specifications of an expert who had spent
weeks of careful work going into the
most minute details. The details in the
statement are taken from the report OF an
engineer from the surveyor generals
Office, and have been compiled with great
care From it one can readily see that
10 section OF the city has been neglected
and that the plans provide for system
that will equip this city for all time to
come and not excelled by any other in the
country The members Of the council
are anxious that the taxpayers should be
fully informed as to the plans for the sys-
tenn and will aid any one in any way
possible TO become acquainted with the
proposition.
