finished product why shouldn't new
conner to Marble feel rather cheerful
over the future of the town: The only
way this town can fail to enjoy good
healthy growth will be for the anar-
chists tc take the country, overthrow
the seat of government and cause men
to want marble about as much as a
starved dog wants an ice cream soda.
AN ENORMOUS PAYROLL.
Later on this paper is going to un-
dertake a detailed description of the
marble industry here. 1t will not be
technical description. iull OF inysti
Styling terms, but. rather, plain story
in plain language of a remarka able in
dustry. The reason why this paper
wants to do this il because it is a sub
ject of vast interest to many persons
whom The Booster hopes to reach AS
a regular weekly visitor and because
the subject is worth all the attention II
Marble newspaper can bestOw upon it.
Any industry that turns loose upon Il
community 30, 900 every month and
gives employment to $40 or 600 men.

rather important, in the humble esiim

PLENTY OF RESOURCES.
There are other reasons apparent to
Il newcomer here why the town is u
good place in which to live and why
its permanency rs live town is as
sured. The first a I'd most important
OF these reasons is that there are 9TH
er resources all around the town. The

editor is reliably informed. They are
preparing now to open up for spring
work. AS vet the lead and silver in
dus,ry in this vicinity is in its i,fAn-
'cy Mines of both kinds lie adj; :
ce1t to The town and their richness has
been satisfactorily proven. There are
coal deposits of incalculable magni-
tude all about Marble just waiting for
development. One Of these days men
with money are going to take hold of
these things and fetch them 10 the light
of day. That will mean more money.
more population, and more business
for Marble. It's bound to come be-
cause as time goes on there will GER
tainly he no dimunltion in the COM
merciul demand for lead, coal and sill
YER. In fRct, even now, there is a cry
ing demand for silver in the breeches
pockets of the editor of The Marble
Booster. 1t is to be hoped that the
stringency will not assume such SER
ious proportions as to cause the editor
to elope with that hunk of silver ore
now doing duty as door weight at
the Tischhauser & Starr emporium.
HOLSTERS IN THE MAJORITY.
The second reason why the town OF
Marble looks good to a newcomer is
ON account of the character OF the cit
izenshlp. There are more generous,
hospitable, g0od-natured folks In this
town than vou often find in a town the
size of Marble. The Booster expects,
before II has become very ancient, to
uncover u few KNOCKERS, for what
town IL without them? Like death and
taxes the '.knocker' cannot be avoid
ed. But they can be placed in such Il
hopeless minority they cannot proiita-
bly, open their ''yawp." And that sp-
pears to be the condition in Marble.
The boosters certainly are IL the rust
ncr,rity. More potcer to them.
Among other reasons for taking up
permane residence in Marble might
be mentioned the wonderful climate,
the grand, inspiring scenery; the fine
drinking water and many advantages
which city man never enjoys.
Toward the newly arrived editor of
this paper the people Of Marble, with
whom he has bccOsne acquainted, have
shown disp0sition that warns the
