of activity which is very gratifying to
the residents of Idaho Springs.
The ground on which the activity is
taking place is the Memphis and Ida
no Springs Gold Mining and Milling
Company's property and it is consid-
cred by the best judges in this district
to be the most promising undeyeloped
territory in this locality
Mr. Chas III. Fuller of this City VIII
have charge of the development of this
property and this fact IN ITSELF is
evidence that there Will be something
doing" for Charlie Fuller is considered
one of the most energetic, tn rough
going and competent mining men in
Clear Creek Coun,y and seldom picks a
dead one." He has been super'ntend-
ent of several of our largest mines and
his management of mine is recog-
nized as being efficient to a marked de
gree.
When seen by the representative of
the Siftings, Mr.. Fuller said:
| Yes, we have started force of men
on the Belman shaft of the Memphis
property and propose to develop this
mine both by this shaft and in the
NeWh use tunnel. We have new
Electric hoist purchased and euroute
here, which is of sufficient capacity to
sink to 1900 feet in depth. And we ex-
pect to equipp this mine with the most
improved machinary
In my opinion this ground gives every
evidence of being as well mineralized
as either of it's neighbors and l can see
no reason why it cannot be developed
into as great mine as either The Gem
or The Sun and Moon My reosons for
this statement are that the veins which
have been discovered on this property,
both on the surface, in the several shafts
which have been sunk and in the New
house Tunnel compare favorably with
any vein system in this district.
This is particularly true of the veins.
which have teen intersected by the
choice ground continued
the Newhouse Tunnel, and the showing
on this property in the tunnel is as fine
as can be seen on any property in the
, tunnel.

Following the example of the Nation
. and State, the republican party of Clear
Creek county has placed before the vo-
: ters ticket that should and will meet
y their approval. The Siftings- News be-
u lievs in fair square deal in politics
and in conce ding the good standing of
4 those on the opposition ticket and hav-
, ing T. highest regards for them as
: citizens and neighbors. yet it sees NO
reason why the republicans should not
r vote the ticket straight from top to
bottom. Our ticket is composed of
men of the highest standing, socially,
Intellectually, morally and business
, like. They are men who will conduct
= the several Offices in most commend
able m amer. So ne Of them hav. alraa-
dy been tried and have measui ed up to
the right standard. They will continue
to do SO and will have the hearty CO.
operation of those who are associated
with them on the ticket No exception
can b taken to these candidates by
any fair minded man. In the daily
walks of life they command the respect
J and as candidates and subsequently
sue cessful nominees they should do the
same. There will be no mistake made
in voting the straight county ticket.
There will be no mistake in voting the
judicial and senatorial tickets. There
will be no mistake made in voting the
congressional and state tickets. There
will be no mistake made in voting the
| National republican ticket There mill
