Gilpin observer., 1907-01-03
APEX AND VICINITY

A business man Of this camp-one who
has prospered and put by several hun
dreds of dollars, and especially so in the
past two years-is rank knocker. How
does this sound to you, Mr. Pine Creeker?
This same business man went to Central
City and hourished his hammer in good
shape; said that he hadn't made dollar
in the district and that the camp was
going down hill, when it is in better con
dition than it has been for years. Can
you guess who this man is? We only
hope that this item will reach his gaze,
and if he then doesn't take tumble, he
can prepare himself for an elegant roast,
and we think we are there in delivering
the goods in that respect. No names
will be spared and shouldn't be at this
time.
The local matter was left out last week
on account of our New Years edition
and not having the space.
The residents of this district were
highly eleated over the New Years edi
ton of The Gilpin Observer, as consider
aole mention was,made of the different
mines of our camp. We are pleased to
note the fact that The Observer is doing
its utmost to further the interests OF this
camp and of our people, and We think
your paper is deserving of our most
heartiest support.
