Good Liver
Remedy Free

When you suffer from any form OF
indigestion it is always we'll to take
something for the liver, as usually the
trouble lies there. If you are bilious,
have bloaty feeling after eating, if
you belch, if your skin is yellowish
you may be sure it is liver trouble.
What you need is something to stir
up the liver, to arouse the gastric
juices so that they will aid in the d.
gestion OF your food A very good REM
edy for this, and one highly recon-
mended by those who have used it, is
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin, which you
can obtain OF any druggist at fifty
cents or one dollar bottle. But If you
have any doubt about its merits, and
would prefer to try it first, send your
address to DR.. Caldwell and he will
promptly send you free sample bot
tie.
Thousands Of people first learned Of
this remarkable cure for stomach, liver
and bowel troubles through a free SAM
pie. Mrs. Frank Lilly of Plainview, Ill.,,
sent for one and it cured her and she
Is open in saying that she will never
take pills or strong cathartics again.
y. L. Bryant. the Postmaster at sardis.
Tenn, says he will never be without it
again. No sick person can afford to
ignore a remedy so highly endorsed as
this. It is good for all the family from
infancy to old age, because it is mild,
free from gripping and yet promptly eff
fective. Furthermore, results are alb
solutely guaranteed or money will be
refunded.
DR.: Caldwell does not feel that the
purchase of his remedy ends his obli-
cation. He has specialized in stomach,
liver and bowel diseases for over forty
years and will be pleased to give the
reader any advice on the subject free
him. Whether for the ei medical % aavi tce
or the free sample address him Dr..

I heard a tale of a cheerful skate,

ledgers and daybooks down, looked
them through with growing frown,
and muttered, your name is Pants

you didn't swear and you didn't lie
and you don't smoke or dance. You
passed through life with a high re-
nown and you cut more grass in your
native town, as my books do plainly
show; but you had one habit that
makes me tired; to outer darkness
you must be fired, and down with the
goats you go. Your wife was ever a

A NEGLECTED. DUTY.

This is the year in which the orig

OF February 8, 1865. the Colorado and
Clear Creek Railroad company was
Incorporated with a capital OF s5,O00,-
600, to operate a road from Golden
to Central and also up to Empire
City. In 1866 it was amended so as
to allow them a capital Of s25 900 900
and changing the name to The Colo

A LOCAL VIEW OF
THE NEWHoUsE

An article in one of our exchanges
noted the fact that 1t were possible
to enter the Newhouse tunnel at
Central and in half an hour come out
at Idaho Springs. This might appeal
to the imagination of some. The nov
city of such a trip would strike the
average tourist with unequalled glec.
A surface ride, from the point of en-
trance of the tunnel on Gunncl hill,
would require ten minutes to the de-
pot at Central; another fraction Of
an hour to reach Black Hawk by the
''high line"-either tram or Colorado
& Southern or by hack. A ride down
Clear creek on the Colorado & South
e-n to Forks Creek, thence a change
of route would be necessary to roach
idaho Springs, consuming an hour
and a half, more or less.
Were the tunnel on larger lines it
might prove an aid in solving the
transportation problem. From all in
formation at hand the Newhouse is
very valuable acquisition to its pro-
moters. How the mine owner. along
its route may view the enterprise
is not fully admitted. There is much
the tunnel must accomplish ere it be
recognized as benefit OF inestim-
able worth. The future will tell.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Littleton was very desirous for a
game between our basket ball team
and theirs tonight at Littleton, but
on account of two of our men being
forbidden by the doctors to play, and
on account of Rae Laird having drop
ped from the High school, the game
could not come off. So probably the
basket ball season is over until next
fall.
Mrs. Malta Seymour and little
daughter were visitors in both
schools last Friday afternoon. Mr..
committee. spent part of one after
noon this week in the High school.
Miss Laura Ayers visited several
classes in the High school the other
day. trying to see how good work her
sister, Lillye,, is doing.
The class in Psychology should
have good nerves, as they have been
giving that subject careful study late
ly. However, the study can not have
been ve-y profitable, as it appears
that student of Psychology, or even
a teacher of it. can jump about as
high and shrek about as loud as
anybody else when a mouse comes
around.
Miss Cody leaves this afternoon fol
Boulder for the spring vacation. Miss
Reed will spend the vacation at hel
home in Greeley. leaving tomorrow
morning.

Chamber of
Commerce

At the meeting held in the city hall
Monday evening for the purpose of
reorganizing the Chamber of Com
rmerce, there was a good representa-
tion Of the business men, mine oper-
ators and citizens OF the county pres
ent. A great deal of enthusiasm was
displayed, signifying the willingness
OF the people of Gilpin to encourage
and support a good, active CONNER
cial association.
A number of the officers, directors
and members of the old Chamber,
which has been dormant the past two
or three years, We're present. Boost
er talks were made and a get-togcth-
er spirit that was highly gratifying
prevailed the meeting.
Thomas Dunstone, one of the re-
firing directors of the old Chamber
OF Commerce, called the meeting to
order and was selected as chairman
of the meeting. w. j. Stull served as
secretary. A committee of three was
arpo'n II to solicit membership
among those present. The names of
thirty or more were secured. The
dues were placed at $500 a year for
BUSINESS men and mine operators, and
$500 year for mine workers and
other employees. A majority of those
signifying a willingness to become
identified with the organization,
agreed to contribute $1,000.
No action was taken upon the cleo
tion OF officers or board of di-
rectors until the organization is final
ly completed. A committe of three,
consisting of ]. r. Pratt, H. P.
Lowe and w. ]. Stull was appointed
to see the business men and procure
as many members as possible. An
other meeting is to be held within
the next week or ten days, when the
committee has had time to act. An
nouncement of this meeting will be
be on hand.
B. B. Vivian, local representative
of the Golden smelter which is be-
coming extensively interested in Gil
pin county was present at Mondays
meeting. Mr.. Vivian has been author
lied by his people to inform the
Chamber of Commerce that the Col
den smelter will lend their moral and
sinif,cial support to the movement,
realizing the need Of commercial
association to put the resources and
money making advantages of Gilpin
county to the front. Owing to an ac-
cident. H. P. Lowe, at present the
heaviest operator in this district,
could not be present at the meeting.
Mr. Lowe, however, was represented,
and had authorized a statement to
the effect that he was strongly in ac-
cord with the move to create COM
mercial body; that he was willing to
do all he could to advance the move

Boost Alice Road

There will be work for the Cham
Der Of Commerce right from the time
Of its inception. Among other things
to be worked for by the organization
is the proposed wagon road from
Alice, in Clear Creek county, to this
city. Bills have been introduced in
the Senate and House by Senator
O'Connell and Representative Will
Jams, providing for an appropriation
Of $2500 to carry on this work.
The bill is receiving enthusiastic
support from. the residents Of the
Alice section and will receive active
support from the Chamber of Com
merce here Besides benefiting the
local merchants through the trade
that will come from the towns along
the line of the road, it will afford
the fishermen of Gilpin county an
easy route to the Loeb Lomand, St
Mary's, Chinn and Silver group OF
lakes.
The entire distance to be covered
by this wagon road is nine miles. or
this three miles has been construct
ed and is now in use. There is
good road from Alice to Cumberland
gulch and then the route would fol
low the old ditch line to Mt. Pisga.
and from this point to the city ran
ches, where 1t would connect with
the regular county road.
George r. Stewart, a heavy prop
erty owner in the Alice section, is
in Central this week, talking the
proposition over with the business
people and e1listing their support.
Mr.. Stewart says the road will be
used by at least 200 people, residing
in Alice and vicinity.

Is Bound to
Consolidate

1t would appear that the editor OF
the Idaho Springs Gazette Is deter
mined to consolidate the counties Of
Gilpin and Clear Creek in some way
If not the government Of the coun-
ties, then associate the commercial
organization of Clear Creek with that
Of Gilpin. The Gazette is advocating
a "get together" policy and while
Gilpin may meet her neighboring
county half way on the proposition
Of working in harmony with her com
mercial association to advertise the
district, there is no particular induce
ment for Gilpin to favor the consoli-
dation of the two counties. Gazette
says it would mean a saving of $40,-
900 a year. 1t may be that the paper
knows what it is talking about in
this respect, but We doubt it. There
must be an awful leak in the manage
ment OF the affairs Of the adjoining
county IL the annexation would mean
such a great saving. On this side of
the dividing line the county govern
ment is most economically conducted
and there is no complaint on the
part of the taxpayers. This is the
prime reason that Gazette's consol-
idation idea is not meeting with en-
couragement here. But speaking of
united action on the part of the two
commercial organizations, Gazette
says:
"Gilpin county is preparing for Wig
orous season Of publicity and Promo.
ton of mining and associated indus
tries as is indicated by an editorial
the Gilpin organization has been
noted as one of the most aggressive
and successful in the country. 1t
does things in such excellent and
forceful manner and has been of un-
told assistance in advancing that
splendid old mining district.
while our suggestion of consolida-
ton of Clear Creek and Gilpin coun-
ties has been received with little
commentator in Gilpin county We
are not discouraged ana IN cOnncc-
ton with the revival of the Gilpin
county Commercial Association We
wish to suggest closer relationship
between the commercial associations
of the two counties. Clear Creek
county organizations have. gotten to-
gether and much good is resulting
from the harmony of action that has
been established. In the same man
ner and with equally valuable results
can Clear Creek and Gilpin combine,
and the tender of good will and de-
sire fo- closer friendship is hereby
extended to the Gilpin people. No
prejudice or other obstacle should
be allowed to prevent this much to
be desired association. Clear Creek
and Gilpin are one in every natural
and industrial feature and with such
a community of interest there should
be community Of effort for the ad-
vancement of business and social
conditions"
Gilpin observer., 1911-03-23
Protecting
the Public

1t Is possible that some one may
have been induced to invest too heav-
lily in questionable mining stock and
these would ask protection in somc
form or other-going to the trouble
of an appealing to the legislature
for such. That it is an important
matter is evidenced by the action Of
the legislature of Pennsylvania, where
bill has been introduced designed
to protect investors against the sale
shares or certificates of stock in So
called wild cat" mining companies.
To show what is expected of those
who go to Pennsylvania to procure
capital for developing a mine, the
measure makes it mandatory that the
corporation or company file with the
secretary of the commonwealth a
statement of the financial condition
of the company, the location Of the
property, plans Of same, amount Of
development work; in fact, the law
now before the Pennsylvania house
of representatives is exacting in its
requirements before any one may at
tempt to promote mining deal in
that state. That no one may misun-
derstand the conditions, the propos-
ed law requires the secretary Of the
commonwealth to keep for inspection
by the public any and everything
relating to the mine in an explana-
tory sense. And any officer of a min
ing company making a false state
ment regarding the property will be
liable to a fine of five hundred dol
lars. Any other person, in connec-
tion herewith, violating the provis-
ions Of the proposed law, may incur
fine Of one thousand dollars and i'm
prisonment. The officers are exempt
from Imprisonment, but may be SUBJ
ject to fine, as stated. But this
part may be amended when the bill
reaches the senate.
There may have been a number of
mining propositions offered Pennsyl-
vanians as we'll as others, which were
hardly up to the legitimate. But it
may be reasonably expected that the
majority offered the public had a SUBJ
stantial basis. The promoter should
not be held up to contumely because
of the failure of the property to pro-
! duce anything like expectations AS
has been repeatedly stated, the mine
may have encountered all sorts Of
vicissitude and all operations ceased
on the eve of strike; but that Is
merely an aside.
However, no one is likely to OBJ
ject to Pennsylvania action in the
matter. 1t is bound to aid. in that
it will bar from the public all that
seems unfair in mining. With real
ly meritorious property, company
would not hesitate to place itself on
record; in fact, it would court inves-
tigation.
The act may give the public more
confidence. In that it could material
/ ly aid mining enterprises, assured
by the record that the company was
all that could be expected. There Is
no harm in the law, on the contrary,
/ it may help the situation. 1t would
assure the investor that he is in a
measure protected. Having access to
the report Of the property. should
things not go as anticipated, the
company could not be held respon-
sible while the investor, should he
! lose, could not complain.
