The whole consists of approx
mately los acres.
The Gem con. psry owns its
hydro. electric and feam electric
plants, and with the acquisition of
lall the properties, both under
ground and otherwise. is one of
|hhe biggest mining industries in
hthe state.
f The Argo tunnel is 12x12 feet
and is more than $4,000 feet long.
1t is the greatest transportation
tunnel in the world It cuts the
Gem properties in such a way that
it will be source of great profit.
1t is a two-track tunnel splendldly
equipped and electrically operated.
At its mouth are located bins,
power p ants, shops and mill faci-
titles. The porta is on the
tracks of the Colorado & Southern
railroad, on the outskirts of the
city. With such facilities the
Gem company will be able to mine
and mill with a new constructed
plant lower grade ores than other
mining companies in other parts
of the country.
The purchasing of the Argo
makes possible wonderful develop
ment under the most economical
conditions of one Of the most pro-
ductive aera in the state. The con-
solidated operations of the COM
pany in the past have made pos
sible the most economical operation
of the many paying properties Of
the Gem company. Practical min
ing men consider the Gem among
the best of the state. and now since
the acquisition of the Argo pro-
perty, TO its already modernly
equipped plants, makes it one of
the most resourceful in the coun-
try. It's mill sights, concentration
plants, power plants and mining
properties make it about the most
attractive proposition of the dis
trict or even the state.
R. B. Lamb, consulting mining
engineer. made it possible for the
Gem to make this big deal with
Frank A. Schirmir of Boston of
the Argo Mining, Drainage, Trans-
portation and Tunnel company.

LARGE CROWD AT
LIBRARY BENEFIT
Opera House Filled to Capacity
With People of Idaho Springs
and Surrounding Towns; the
Music Good; $3.50 Realized.

The much advertised vaudeville
which was given at the opera house
Monday evening for the benefit of
the public library, was played to
capacity house, and is said TO be
the third time since e. j. Deis has
had the handling of the reserved
seat tickets, that the house had
been so com mpletely sold before the
night of the performance. The
people OF idaho Springs and COM
munity showed their appreciation
of the cause by the splendid atten-
/ dance.
After all bills are paid, the COM
mittee gives a rough estimate that
the library will have received about
$3.50, which will be deeply appre-
ciated by the library board.
Leach's orchestra gave the open
ing number, and played at inter-
vals during the evening. Their
pieces were snappy and, as usual,
appreeiatiye.
The vaudeville was under the
management OF Mrs. Mary @, Al
len and Mrs. G. e. Carpenter. with
MRS. w. E. Renshaw directing the
mn tteai u'Gm6ers 81 The ladies'
quartette. Mrs. Sprague Stewart
was the accompauist, and played
with her usual grace and ease.
Those taking part, together with
those having charge, worked long
and faithfully 10 make the program
a success, and are to be commended
for the efforts put forth.
While the program was too long
to justify comment on each NUM-
Der, the first number, sa X O.

As
INVESTIGATOR
Senator Rensiaaw Leads Debate
for Investigation of the Ad-
1aiAistration Of President Al
stesx xo.s- Of he sssgss1gsgyi Of h A fines.


The state senate, by a vote of 10
to ID, yesterday passed resolutions,
which were previously passed by
the house, providing for joint
committee to investigate the adj
ministration Of Victor A. Anderson
of the School of Mines at Golden.
The lieutenant governor announced
the appointment of Senator Ren-
shaw and Senator O. &. Banister
as mem bers of tie committee. The
house mem bers are Representa-
tives Dickerman, McGinnis and
Linkins.
Senators Renshaw, Booth, Dick
inson and Church led the fight for
the adoption of the resolution.
Senator Adams opposed it on the
ground that it was not good policy
to appoint smelling committees
to investigate charges made upon
street CO. aerB.
Senators Church and Dickinson,
speaking for the resolution, said
they we're friends of President
Anderson, but favored an investi-
CATION because they believed it,
was due Anderson that the criti-
cism OF the school and his man.
agement Of it be cleared up.
Senator Booth took the position
that every friend of the School Of
Mines should welcome the investi-
CATION and vote for the resolution.
For friends Of the institution to
vote against the resolution, he
said, would be an admission that
there was something they wished
to hide.
Senator Renshaw, speaking for
the resolution, made it plain that
he was unaltefably opposed to the
plan to place the school under the
management Of the board OF re-
gents of the state university He
said be believed now is the right
time for holding an investigation
of the schools management.

not making known at this time the
amount involved The develop
ments in the Gem properties have
been 50 encouraging that the off
cials have seen fit to make this big

The Argo {Newhouse) tunnel
has the distinction of being the
pioneer of tunnels intended to
operate on the sportation basis,
driven thru the mining properties
of others as a transportation prop

same rights accorded to railroads
in their overland work. This great
tunnel has cut many rich mines,

There is nothing that is greater
misfortune for a person TO have than
a bad reputation, except a good one
If you have a bad reputation every
body talks about you. II you have a
good reputation. everybody does you.
People may scandaliae you II you have
a bad reputation, but II you have a
good reputation everybody victimi1es
you. The reason the Bible tells us to
do good by stealth. and not TO let our
right know what our left hand doeth.
is to put US wise to the dangers we
run II We ever get known as generous,
or hospitable, or good scout.
Probably the reason there are so
many hard-boiled eggs IN the world
Is because, if you give any indication
of being soft. you are immediately
squashed all over the place. We can't
be a little liberal, a little helpful, a
little neighborly, and let II go at that.
onoe you establish a reputation along
those lines. you become a SHINING
mark for every CRATER and dead
beat who hears Of you.
Take the matter of giving. for in
stance. Everybody who has ever
tried helping people knows that once
you give to an individual you are
never done giving 10 him or her.
Right then and there you acquire a
permanent liability. for the recipient
seems to think that you are a sort
of checking account in a bank that
he or she can draw on at pleasure.
Nor are these parasites grateful.
On the contrary, they seem TO think
that they are doing you a real favor
in giving YOU a chance to exercise
your phianthropic gifts, for they al
ways begin their touch by saying: II
know how generous you are and that
you will be glad TO contribute towards
buying me a Limousine, or that YOU
VIII be delighted 10 send me a box Of
or send my little Willie to
Harvard or whatever il is they want.
You may pay the rent for family,
and foot their grocery and coat bill
for ten years regularly. and they viii
take 1t as a matter. of course, and
feel hard towards you because you
don't do more, IL you have the fatal
reputation for being kind and beneyo-
lent, and then they viii have fits of
gratitude over fifty cent present that
some tight fisted individual sends
them. Funny thing. but haven't you
seen IL a thousand times?
Same way about hospitality. Get A
reputation for being hospitable. and
you run free hotel from then on
until you are eaten out OF house and
home. Ask relative 70 come and
spend the day, and he or she stays
Tor months. People whom you scarce
y know descend upon you, bag and
baggage, at tho most inopportune
lines.
Every mall brings you letters from
guests who are passing
four way, and want to stop OFF in |
'our city for few days, or who have |
oeen ordered to the country for nniaf |

and fresh air. and who. knowing how
hospitable you are, feel sure that you
would like to have them come and
make you a little visit.
| And. fool that you are. because you
have been idiotic to acquire this repu-
tatton. you lack the nerve to shut
your door in their faces. SO they
come, and stay, and stay, and stay.
and upset all your plans and take up
all your time. and crowd you out OF
the butcher and grocer. and they take
1t all es no more than your duty.
They have no gratitude nor appre-
citation for what you have done for
them. They do not remember the
hundreds of dollars they have sponged
out Of you that they would have had
TO spend on hotel bills. If they had
paid their way. But let some rich
friend or acquaintance invite them to
tea, and give them bread and but
ter sandwich. and they talk their
tongues of about il.
Same way about lending. You are
human and kind. II you are a man
you would like TO lend your car to a
friend now and then. or IL you are
woman, you would like to lend a pref
ty wrap, or an ornament to some girl
but you dare not do Il. For well you
know. IL you once gain the reputation
Of being a lender, you would never
have any use OF your property. Nor
would you have the property long,
beca use people who borrow never take
the slightest care Of the thing they
haze borrowed
It is equally as disastrous to get.
the reputation of being a good wife
and mother of the patient. seif-sacri-
flcing brand. You know the kind of
woman who Is the henofn of heart
interest novels and plays; the kind of
woman who is the theme of the home
and mother sob songs; the kind of
woman who works her fingers to the
bone for her family, and eats the
back of the chicken, and wears the
cast-of clothing of her daughters,
and who stays put. and keeps the
home fires burning while all the bal
ance OF the family are OF having a
good time.
You would think that her husband
and children would worship her on
their knees, and that they never could
thank her and love her enough for all
her sacrifices, and labor for them. But
do they? Not so that you could notice
It. They actually believe that mother
enjoys being martyr, and that she
has some curious taste that makes
her prefer strfngy chops to tender
ones, and that she doesn't care a thing
Tor clothes or going about, or want
any Iyelier amusement than Just be-
