THE MINING BOOM.

That the revival of interest in the
Colorado mining industry is going to
work great good for the La Plata
district we have no doubt for the
richest and most valuable prospects Of
the state are found there and the re-
gion is practically as yet unexplored.
The old saying that "gold is where
you find it" seems to be true, some
of the most barren prospects ever
known have developed the best mines
of the state and there is no case re-
corded where man having once found
it ever failed to want to find more,
hence the revival of interest in pros
pecting is indeed a revival and not
n new creation.
When the great reserves" were
created and prospectors prohibited
from seeking locations thereon, the
business of prospecting appeared to
have taken a slump in Colorado but
now these conditions are changed, the
prospector, engaged in a legitimate
search for precious metal, is as free
to enter on a government reserve in
the pursuit of his calling as he was
in the early free" days of the state.
We are told by an old timer that
prospectors have been shut out of
the La Platas for several years but
that, with the orders allowing the
work to again be engaged in, the
mountains will this summer be full of
eoger seekers after the rich ore which
fills the range. Denver is raising a
"jack pot" fund to be used in send
ing prospectors out into that new ter
ritory just opened up by the Moffat
road, shrewd business men are tax
ing an interest in this new form of
speculation and they feel tt;.s. both
directly and Indirectly. it will lie a
profit paying investment and that "A
great toom will be experienced at the
capital city.
Why would it not be wise thing
foi Durango to do just what Denver
is doing? The expense of grubstak-
ing small number of experienced
prospectors and sending them up into
the La Platas for the season would
be small and the returns might be inn
mense, not only in personal profit for
the investors but in the benefit which
would come to cur city by the location
of few rich mines il the district.
We are willing to confess, right
here and now, that our private advice
on this matter would not be cheap at
seven cents column, for we are the
among ten thousand when it
comes to tenderfootism, but these
ideas are the ideac of more than one
old and experienced miner with whom
we have talked and it certainly looks
to us like a chance to get private
wealth and civic prosperity at very
small expense and make the store
houses of nature pay even that.
If it is a good scheme let's act on
it and act quickly, he who hesitates
is lost and then, beside, you know
Il is said that "The Lord hates
coward" II 1t is true that it is a
generally accepted idea that the La
Platas are full of gold let's prove, or
lisprove, the fact.

Media, Pa. Mrs. Morton Il. Dickin-
son, whose husband is a leading
physician, returned lately from a trip
t, South America, bringing with her
Il pet monkey, which she calls "Tom"
Her next door neighbor, Mrs. Henry
C. Snowden, whose husband is the
richest man in town, despises that
monkey, but Tommy" likes the
Snowdens, and hangs around the
house all the time. Mrs. Snowden and
Mrs. Dickinson have fought, and
fought over Tommy" and at last
Tommy entered Mrs. Snowden's ath-
room, when she was taking bath,
and bit her on the ankle. That was
Too Much, and Mrs. Snowden has
sued Mrs. Dickinson for damages.
A man who has once been to college
never gets over it. Governor Dix, of
New York, is Cornell man, and he
had the most fun one day lately. The
students arrested the governor, and
fined him fifty cents and charged him
80 cents cost for making eyes at pret-
ty girls on the campus. The telegraph
says that Governor Dix enjoyed the
joke hugely.
1t is related in the telegraph that a
London police officer became infatua-
ted with 16-year old grid. The girl
felt badly about the police officers
love for her, and asked his wife what
she could do. The wife told her there
was only one thing on earth for her
to do: jump in the river, and the girl
jumped.
