Idaho Springs, "the Carlsbad of
Colorado" lies midway between
the foothills and the snowy crest
of the Continental Divide. Its
elevation is 7,54S feet above sea
level and 373 feet higher than
Denver and is surrounded.Ly many
pine-clad peaks, some OF which
rival Pixies Peak in picturesque
grandeur. Looking through the
window Of the sitting room of
the Sw. Lutheran parsonage on
the Sunny side of Idaho Springs,
one can see the suow-capped top
of Big Chief which is about nine
miles away, and close by il are
lower peaks called the Squaw and
the Papoose. Near by town is a
peak called Filtration Peak, which
is easy to climb. There are sev-
raj hundred gold mines surround
ing Idaho Springs and few min
ing tunnels, one of which, the
Argo, the greatest mining tunnel
in the world, is four and one alt
miles long. An Idaho Springs
gentleman took hold of the Hoo
sac mine, located about a mile
abo.e town, against the advice OF
his friends. He has been pound
ing away on that property tor
twelve years and in that time has
succeeded in developing mag
niiceut mine. Engineers who
have examined the Hoosac pro-
nounce it one of the biggest ore
shoots IN Colorado. The ore is
a straight sulphide carrying gold
silver and copper. The opening
of this mine indicates that all that
is required TO reach large ore
bodies in this section is the de-
velopment at depth OF scores OF
mines which are at present entire
" idle but which would become
profitable after a reasonable amount
OF work expended upon them.
Twenty mountain lakes annual
ly stocked with trout, are within
a radius OF fifteen miles. Living
springs of hot water containing iii

mineral so beneficial IN the cure

have been cut through to tap these

the body is entirely eliminated by

nothing that the boys have done in

counties that had corn clubs this sea-

contained five varieties Of corn.

THE LATE CAPTAIN W. W. BRAD.
SHAW.
(By Rev. J. Russell Crawford

For more than generation a
missionary of the American Sum-
day School Union, ranking as
the oldest missionary in its serv-
ice, and widely known through
out his State, meanwhile ever
active as member and officer of
the church of his choice and a
familiar figure among Kentucky
Presbyterians, was the late
Capt. w. W. Bradshaw, who en-
tered into rest at Columbia KY,
on November 20.
Possibly no man living was so
familiar with the many trails of
the Kentucky mountains, or
knew so we'll and sympathetically
the people of that noted section.
He was their loyal friend and
was ever a welcome visitor
where most men are regarded
with an unyielding suspicion. A
successful school-room expert
ence, covering number of
years, equipped him as a teach
er, and this ability he conse-
Grated to the Lord and dedicated
to the neediest of people. Evan
gelistic in method and untiring
in his efforts he reached with
the gospel message literally
thousands Of our neglected high
landers. His success in his
chosen field was widely known,
until his name had become a
household word throughout the
church in the State.
While Capt. Bradshaw ardent
ly loved his church, yet no man
could say that he was sectarian.
Broad, charitable and catholic in
spirit, he was first fall a Christ
ian man. His church recognized
in him a leader, a safe and wise
counselor, and was always heard
with delight and profit before the
numerous church courts which
he attented. He served on many
important commissions and COM
mittees. He carefully cultivated |
and maintained the grace of CIV
ing. His special delight was in
assisting poor preacher boys in
their educational careers. Many
are the men to-day in the active
ministry who owe debt of graf
itude to his generous and noble
heart.
. BY toll, self denial and judi
cious investments he accumu-
lated a comfortable estate, but
was overtaken by a financial dis
aster. Though enfeebled by the
weight of years and ill health, |
yet in spite he remained I'M
daunted. In characteristic fash
ion he kept talking and working
for his church, and even in
creased his ALREADY liberal offer
ings, in the face Of all his re-
verses. Thus the life and death |
of Christ was felt III the human
soul. Write mockery or ali else
and fill the soul with an ambi- |
ton not born of the world but
born from above.
The pastor never had a truer
helper than Capt. Bradshaw. In
his busy career he found time to
study the problems that confront
the pastor. and in most tactful
ways proffered his help in their
solution. No man was better
posted on what his church was
