Gilpin observer., 1907-11-28
From the Files of Tho Observer, Week
Ending November 3Oth, 1887.


Wells, Hogan and Leidinger started
up the Ohio lode in Spring gulch.
The Observer said: Brother Fuller
ton wants to know why the Observer
and others who are finding fault with
the laws of congress in regard to mines,
did not frame or suggest better mining
laws. In the first place, we would say,
that it is easier to find fault with a law
than to frame one. In the second place,
the editor of the Observer whether from
his resemblance to Herr Most or not, was
never consulted. And in the third place,
the aforesaid editor did not at that time
occupy the controlling, moulding and
guiding position which he now holds.
He was at that time roofing for blossom
rock or doing some equally useful bust
ness. If we had few practical miners
in congress they would understand their
business, but they would not have
money enough to buy the necessary
votes. You see the point?"
