The Dark Side of Cripple Cr-i-k.
The following is taken from a letter re
ceived by a business man in this city,
from a man now in Cripple Creek, Colo.
"This place is crowded with men nut
of work all kinds and classes. There
are more miners hero than can find em
ployment, and until more claims are
k'tter developed, there will be no need
of them. There is some pneumonia
here, but not near so bad as has been
represented.
"Rents are fearful ; you cannot rent a
small 10x12 shanty for les than $50 per
month. Again, there is no knowing
whether this is to be a permanent camp
or not. There is any amount of gold in
the hills, but the trouble is the east
ern people are liable to get "taken in"
often by buying stocks.
"This is a poor town; nearly every
body is broken or nearly so; girnhUm

going. I have met several people her,,

The following from the pen of Henry
Lockhart in an article in the Southwest
Magazine for January is to the point
and well worthy of considertion.
"New Mexico is always waiting for
'outside capital.' If it would put a lit
tle of its own capital into the means of
turning its already developed resources
into money, when it is shown to be ab
solutely safe, it would very soon have
"ample capital of its own." We have
been begging and praying for ''more
railroads" for years. Why not devote
a litttle energy and money in convinc
ing railroads that there is something to
I come for hy utilizing the means prov
idence has placed at our disposal and
which will return us tenfold, railroad or
no railroads."
