House DOinqs,

The plans for the new opera
house building shows thatit will
be one of great credit to this city
the faca de will be of a highly
ornamental character. In the
center of the building WILDE the
entrance ten feet wide and seven
teen feet deep with double doors
at the rear opening into the foyer
of the auditorium. On each side
OF the entrance will be room
about 16 feet square, one of
which will be used for 1.-THE office
and the other for store room,
From the rear of the auditorium
to the orchestra there will be an
incline of four feet which will
make all seats desirable for see
ing the stage. The seating cap
acitp will be $50 and with an
open box or loge on each side
with seating capacity Of about
ten the full seating capacity will
be olo. On each side of the large
stage there will be two dressing
rooms. The floor of the orches-
ira part will be two feet lower than
the floor of the room so that
the top of the piano will be even
with the floor of the stage. The
stairs will be ON the east side of
the building. The upper floor
will be banquet hall as stated in
the last issue of the paper. The
building will be of brick with met
al ceilings and as near as fire
proof as possible. The exits in
case Of emergency will be ample.
In fact the entire appointments will
be of the safest and nest conveE.
lent nature. No better sight
could be selected as it is in the
the heart of the town and most
venient for the public. The
upper story will be great ac
commodation. 1t can be used for
dances, social gatherings private
and club entertainments. 1t will
be adapted for card parties that
are given by society people as il
can be rented i'll an afternoon at a
reasonable figure and thus remove
the annoyance attended on a fami-
ly giving large card party at home
where so imuch, work is required
both before and after. The
scene shifting portion will ex-
tend to the top of the building and
where it passes through the second
story there will be suites of rooms
OH each side, one for the accommo-
dation of ladies' and the other
for gentlemen and will be fur
nished with all modern conven-
fences. In room will be a stove
for making coffee and china
closet for keeping such dishes as
may be needed for the accom- m oda-
tion of small parties. 1t is expect
ed that the building will be open
for show purposes about the first of
May. 1t will be great addition
to this com munity.

Fred Stroehle is having the
preliminary arrangements made
tor the garage and will have it
ready to immediate the tourists
IN motor cars by the time next
season opens. This will be a
special induce for the people to
drive up here from Denver over
hne boulevarde, feeling that they
Will have place in which to leave
their machine in perfect safety.
Being near the machine shop of
Stroehle and Sons, any repairs
that may be needed can get
prompt attention while all such
extras and supplies as are need
ed will be kept on hand. The help
and facilities for cleaning machines
Will be always available. Another
attraction will be the keeping
OF machines for rent and this
will be literally patronized
by parties who wish to
take a run to Denver on pleasure
trips or to attend theatres on
moonlight nights. There are
some other decided Improvements
that are being considered but the
publication of which is held in abey-
ance pending more mature plans
Let not your hearts be troubled
Idaho Springs is forging to the
front from all points of view and
mining will receive strong inl-
petus along with the other good
things. Let's keep pulling togeth

Most Feasible Route

MOST fedSIDIc KOutS
Idaho Springs is the only city
having hot mineral springs IN the
Rocky mountains that is located
close to a large city like Denver.
There is no other place that has
mineral waters with so diversified
curative qualities. The tourists
who come to Denver along with
the Denver people will find that
nature has done everything pos
sible in waters, climate, scenery,
mining and close proximity to a
metropolitan city that is attrac-
tive. With the early completion
of ample accommodation for tour
lists, health and pleasure seekers,
this city will offer the greatest
inducements to such classes.
Just think that it is only 81
miles from Denver by train about
two hours ride and 81 miles by auto
mobile road. Even with the old
steep grade, machines have COW
cred the distance in one and a
half hours while the elimination
Of this grade through the liberal
and active work of our own peo-
pie this distance can be covered
in much less time. Let US COM
pare these conditions with other
watering places in the mountains
Sulphur Springs is log miles
from Denver requiring six hours
to make the trip. Steam boat
Springs is PA miles distant and
the schedule time is 10 and I-2
hours. The nearest over to Glen
wood Springs via the Colorado
Midland is about 285 miles re-
quiring about IA and I-2 hours
while the distance by the D. &
r. G. railroad is 800 miles i'll
volving about the same time
To Pagosa Springs is a long trip
Of p hours covering distance
Of 42I miles. Hence to reach
these places requires a long and
more or less tedious trip while
Idaho Springs is reached BY a
lovely ride through the fertile
garden spot of the valley until
the foothills are reached and then
a most delightful, refreshing trip
up Clear Creek through noun
tain grottoes, between lefty peaks
and by train or over the noun
tpins by motors where one passes
through balsam perfumed pines,
romantic raviues, floral fields, over
the summit of peaks by very easy
stages where the snow capped
Continental Divide greets the eye
throughout the summer and pass
the many open spots where at
tractive ranches prevail. The trip
is the Paradise of travel. 1t must
be seen and experienced to prop
erly enjoy. Arriving here one
can enjoy such hot tunnel bath
az will drive weariness from the
flesh and trouble from the mind,
or cure one of rheumatic, stomach
or kidney troubles and rejuvenate
the individual. We ha the long
sought for Fountain of Youth.
