CURE FOR "COLD FEET." 1
Just Listen to General Warren
,1 Make His Talk.
j A representative of I III: MlNI:l chanced
to find General Warren alone In his olficc
jne day till. week, reading over n bunch
of letters from people everywhere, who
had seen llie Sunipter Townsite com
pany's advertisement in this paper. They
ill want to mine to Snmpter, ol course,
and this pleases the General. He talked:
" I here Is going t he ' bigger stam
pede to this (.amp during the next sl.x
mouths than to any mining district in the
history of the West. It will continue for
:i year or mote. I am playing the game
for the present great business activity toi
Continue two years. Uvery day we get
many letters from every direction, the
w titers ol which state their intention to
Come to Snmpter at an early day to live.
"Ynuask whatefleil the building ol I
the much talked ol mails trom I. a ( irande ,
and I'eiidletou to ir.iuite and Canyon
City will have on this tow u. Remember,
the roads ,ue not built yet, but I hope and
believe that our or the other will he con-
strutted In time; the unuitry over that '
way needs .1 railroad. Hut before .1 pound
ol fielght or a passenger is hauled into j
Giant louuty by steam, Snmpter will 1
have a population of .'o.ooo, with electlU
toads ruiiulug to all the Impoitaut stir-1
founding camps. I have no doubt but
that the iniiiull will grant us the fran
chise we are now ashing lot, and if this'
Is done, we will he opriatlng elettik tars
to Itourue bv the middle ol the mining ,
suiumei. It those r.illtoad builders over .
tit l.a drande and I'eiidletou areatrillei

date them."
I hen ( irneral Warren handed to t lit
wtilri the compauv's bank book, opened
at the February account, which showed
that he has at hlstommaud enough money
In a loial bank to burn a wet mule. He
haul: "We don't owe a dollar, and have
nil hand siillkleut available luuds to
Cany out all of our contemplated plans.

"We aie in the market to buv anything
that Is good In this settion of the country.
I have ottered to purchase both the electric
light ami waterworks plant, paying 2$
per cent In twenty-four hours and the re
mainder hi thirty days. I am of the opin
ion, how ever, that these properties can't
be bought. Ai. Vinson knows a good
thing when he sees It. There are other
pal lies in town now trying to buy these
dividend payers."
