And Heavens frustrated plan

That heralds the Reign of Man!
This teeming earth bears plenty,
For every human need
One grasps the shares of twenty;
Men suffer for his greed.
Patience little longer;
Thesdays are now but span,
When wrong shall die. and the wronger,
In the glorious Reign of Man!
We make for the rich their money;
We toll that the few may thrive;
We hoard great stores of honey,
For the drones of the human hive.
In the sweat of thy brow shalt thou

Is Heavens appointed plan,
And one of the hopes we cherish,
Is to make it the Law of Man.

The numerous mining strikes
that have been made during the
past few months should give con-
fidence and inspiration to all who
are interested in business as we'll
as IN mining. 1t is the success in
mining that has made idaho
Springs and is the main business
that will continue to support the
city. There are other attractions
that will help in the support of
the city, such as the tourists, the
ranch industry and the like, but
the main stay of out section and
its principle support must be the
outcome of the mines. The re-
turns from any one of the big
mines, such as the Gem, the New
Era and others will bring more
revenue to the town than all the
other sources combined. Hence,
is behooves Idaho Springs to fos-
ter in every possible manner this
great industry tina. for years has
been the backbone and sinew of
our prosperity, that has support
ed us when all the other resources
have been mere bagatelles COM
pared with mining. The fact is
that we have neglected this great
industry. We have not boosted
it as it should be. We have not at
all times laid aside our jealousies
in its interests. We have been
too afraid tha: some one will pros
per in which we want TO directly
share when we should be satisfied
with sharing i'll indirectly. We
