Mr.. j. F. Jones, of Denver, Uesi-
dent of the Parkside Mines company,
was here on Sunday in consultation
with his associates. Speaking of ad-
vertising he remarked that 'the girls
who sell specimens at the trains are
doing more to calls the attention to the
tourists in reference to this being a
mining camp than any other single
agency. Everyone who goes through
takes notice Of these busy little mining
merchants and when the train leaves,
the passengers talk Of the mining in
dustry. 1t is firmly impressed on
their minds through these vendors of
minerals" He also said that while at
the depot in Denver he .uotieed party
discussing whether g@to Idaho Springs
or around the Loop but finally decided or
the latter. He thought that if there
could be some way to call attention to
the attractions of Idaho Sprins through
extensive advertising, our city would
get large number of pleasure seek
ers who want to spend a day in the

George D. Parks writes the Siftings-
News that the Springs deal is moving
along all right and is going through.
There will be five companies on the en-
erprise one of which has just been
completed. Amidst financial depres-
sions and other drawbacks the promo
t.rs have kept steadily and quietly
forging ahead on this proposition and
success is going to be their reward.
No doubt those who said st won't go
through will soon look wise and
change their tone to II told you so"
when the results begin to show. This
paper has had faith in the proposition
since it first announced to the public
concerning the deal.

The grubstaking proposition will no
doubt answer its purpose but the mines
in the old camps are good enough as
they are further opened up. For in
stance there is the lease known as the
the Shaffer- King lease in the eleventh
level of the Gem. The members of
the leasing company are w. l.. shaffer,
A. H. Roller, George Ford, Horace
King and O. II. Shaffer. Last Mon
day they opened up four foot streak
of ore that runs 30 percent in lead
and in one week they took out 100 tons
of ore simply in the drift from re-
turns of which they got over $7, 900
with three men doing the woIk. This
week they will take out the same ton
mage. An average of 500 week for
each man does not look much like
scarcity of ore. The drifting will
be continued as long as this body
keeps up after which the lessees will
begin stopping The men interested in
this company are all practical mining
men, combining Herewith capability
in assaying and milling.

want to be fair with the Crane Go.
 Alderman MacFayden stated that the Board of Park Commissioners were men working for the best in- terests of the city. He held the same opinion, of the members of the Streets and Sidewalks committee These two bodies had met and de- cided upon a route, which he con- sidered was the best. He could not see where there was a ''nigger'' in the wood pile. The extension was for the benefit of the whole city and not for the Second district alone.
 Alderman Garrity would have the board know that George M. Flames, president of the Park Board had stated that from Iranistan avenue at Atlantic street to the dyke was but a stones throw. He wanted the board also to know that from South avenue at Iranistan avenue was the same distance.
 Alderman Jackson inferred that the question was bigger than any two aldermen, and that because the two aldermen from the Second district did not favor Atlantic street it was not because they were right. Alder man Jackson added that it had right along been intimated that there was could not see him. If there was one there, he would be the very first to change his opinion.
 Alderman Mahoney looked upon the matter, as he put it, "a whole farce" He could see in the Crane Co. deeding Atlantic street to the city nothing but the future closing of South avenue. The proposed exten- sion was a round about way, and favored but by few in the South End.
 Alderman Paddock stated that when South avenue was first men, toned there were objections because of the grade crossings, the industrial railroads, that cut under the viaduct and the disadvantage to the children in the Sacred Heart school. All these considerations were now eliminated. ''I'm glad for one thing" said the Alderman-Senator, I've are beginning to look to the interests of the work ingmen. Their interests demand that the extension go down South avenue, straight. Therefore I'll oppose the Atlantic street route.''
 Alderman Paddock was the last to speak on the proposition, after which the vote was taken, with the stated result. With the announcement of the result there was considerable ap- plauding by the spectators.

That George Chaychowski. 566 Crescent avenue. and his brother-in- law have been gunning for one an- other for several weeks was disclosed in the city court today when George was on trial for carrying concealed weapons, and discharging fire arms in the city limits.
 George told the court, when ques- tioned as to why he fired his pistol several times, that he had been drink ing. But when Judge Wilder asked him why he carried the pistol, he ex- plained that he was married four months ago, had quarreled with his wife, and her relatives had started gunning for him.
 He armed himself with the revolver in self protection, and the only reason he could advance for firing the gun in the streets near his home was that he had been drinking. He was sen tenced to jail for 30 days and fined $5 and costs
