A general feeling of confidence
that activity in the district will
rapidly return prevades the COM
munity now that work has actually
been commenced on the extern
sion of the Newhouse tunnel. 1t
seemed that the continuation of
this enterprise was the only sal
vation of the camp. The drainage
the tunnel affords was the only in
expensive means of unwatering
the big properties on Quartz hill
which had yielded the bulk of the
output of the county before the
water became too costly to handle
with pumps. 1t is fact too well
known to admit of doubt or specu-
lation that countless bodies of good
pay ore are exposed below the
water in virtually all the big mines
IN the kill With the workings
once drained this ore can be mined
with a profit, which precludes all
probability of further inactivity.
Many of the owners of these i'm
mense properties are men of wealth
who are only too willing to ad-
vance money for development
where a return on the investment
is assured.

Women Who Wear We'll.

= It is astonishing how great o change
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brlliance vanish like the bloom from Il
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the check
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

Gilpin county is receiving con-
siderable advertising through its
uranium discoveries. On the front
page of the News yesterday ap-
peared quite an article regarding
the German mine. This mine is
owned by Bishop Matz, of Den
yer, and is considered to be worth
upwards of million dollars. There
are several mines in Giipin county
that contain large deposits of ur-
anium ore.

The Observer will publish a re-
view of the mining operations in
the camp for the past year, the
fore part of January-perhaps the
last of this month. This will not
be special edition, nor can any
idea of the extent of it be given at
this time. The Office has in COM
tempatiom m t important
change in the mechanical equip
ment. This is the installation of
linotype, machine for setting
the body type of the paper which
is now set by hand. The com-
pleteness of the review number
therefore depends upon the amount
of trouble or inconvenience occas-
ioped through the installation of
this machinery.

The supreme court has handed
down a decision that slot machines
are not gambling devices and that
their operation is not contrary to
law. We presume this decision is
final but trust that local parties
will not overdo the matter if they
again bring them into use as was
the case when slot machines were
permitted year or two ago when
there were as many as five and six
of the machines in every saloon.

President Roosevelt has more
than met his equal in the Panama
canal controversy when he assails
Joseph Pulitzer of the New York
World who suggested that thor
ough investigation should be made
into the canal project. 1t is true
that the president gave the New
York journalist a severe grilling
IN his last message to congress,
but the manner in which Pulitzer
reialiates is most scathing, cuts to
the quick, and withal is decidedly
the truth. Pulitzer in a siz-
cling editorial says of the stren-
uous Roosevelt:

1--WE say this not in anger, but
in sincere sorrow. The World has
immeasurably more respect for the
office of president of the United
States than Theodore Roosevelt
has ever shown during the years
in which he has maintained reign
of terror and villified the honor
and honesty of both public officials
and private citizens who opposed

purposes
