The interest taken in the directory re-
ports, that have been sent out by the
Idaho Springs Commercial Association
by many of the mining companies is
source OF great encouragement. Oca-
sionally one will say the reports are mo
good" and then ask why the Association
is not doing more. That is just what it
is aiming to do as preliminary in Sc
curing such reports and those who OBJ
ject to making these or neglect to do SO
are the ones who should be the last TO
criticise. What is needed is the hearty
CO operation of all companies and all
persons interested in mining. 1t we
show the right spirit and interest it will
become infectious and the visitors, in-
curriers' and prospective investors will
catch the boosting fever. Every COM
pany doing business in this mining dis
trict should lend helping hand and az
a preliminary, it can be done by filling
out the blanks promptly and sending
them to the Association. Don't toss
them aside for a future day but Do 1t
Now. In helping the Association to get
complete directory, you are helping
yourself. There is an old saying that
Lord helps those who help themselves
SO get on the right side.

Base Ball Booming.

The game Of baseball between the
teams of the Western Packing COM
pany (Stock Yards) and Idaho Springs
last Sunday afternoon was . good one,
thoroughly enjoyed by all present
both those who paid for admission and
the large crowd that stood on the out
side to get something for nothing
There may be an excuse for the small
boy who tries to crawl under the cir
Gus tent, but the grown man who can
raise the price, to stand on the outside
enjoying the fun at the expense of
others, is cheeky affair. The plea
sure Of the game is the result of hard
work on the part of the players in
training and during the game and also
is made possible by the liberal con-
trlbutions of a few. Hence to see
grown people on the outside watch
ing the game instead of patronizing
the inside, is decidedly cheap john"
proceeding. 1t is hoped that such will
realize the righteousness of this me-
thod of watching game and con-
tribute their share by paying at the
gate. The score resulted IL to 8 in ia
vor of our home team. The playing
was good, the inside attendance was
fair and the outside on-lookers was
large. The batteries were Gallagher
and Costello for the visiting team and
Mitchell and Menzmer for the Idaho
Springs Baseball Association. By the
date of the next game it is the inten-
tion of the management to have the
ground enclosed and persons seeing
the game for nothing will have a
chance to peep through knot holes or
cracks in the fence. Will any grown
up person or sport do this.
