DANGEROUS FAKES.
Tricks to Introduce Alum Baking Powder,
which Should be Exposed.

There has recently been attempted at
some of our grocery stores, and also at
dwelling houses, by agents who are try
ing to sell alum baking powders, what
the exhibitors call a baking powder
test. They pretend to show by some
boiling test that pure cream of tartar
baking powders contain something
which every woman of intelligence knows
they do not.
1t does not need a chemist to expose
this trick. Cream of tartar, which is
the chief constituent of the best and
most wholesome baking powder, is Or
iginally clear. white crystal. This is
ground into fine, creamy flour in
which form, mixed with baking soda it
is present in the baking powder Cream
of tartar, when mixed with water and
boiled simply returns to its crystalline
form, and that is all there is to the So
called test.
The matter of special interest to the
public is to know what these people
offer in place of cream of tartar pow
ders of well known purity and estab-
llshed reputation against which these
ISLANDERS are directed. They are offer
ing baking powder which official
analyses have repeatedly shown is
made from alum, drug so we'll recog-
nized by physicians and scientists as
injurious to health that in many coun-
tries its use in bread is entirely pro-
hibited! So cheap and inferior are the
ingredients of this powder that it costs
to make less than three cents pound.
No prudent housewife will knowingly
put such stuff as this into her food.

That portion of the Colorado & South
ern railroad lying between the east end
of the Newhouse dump and the bridge
below the Wilkie mill is being straigh-
tened and large gang of men and
teams is now engoged in doing this
work. If this is the beginning of
systematic method of taking many of
the useless curves out of the road the
Improvement will be most gladly vel
coined. In conversation with one of
the officials of the Burlington system
few days ago, a representative of the
Siftings- News was informed that the
people along the line of the Clear
Creek division would haye no cause to
regret that the c.. 4 S. had passed into
the control of the Burlington, and as
soon as they get around to begin the i'm
provements, our citizens would be we'll
satisfied with the changed conditions
If this great western corporation that
does things in a thorough busines man
ner and that is putting its lines into the
highest state of efficiency will look to
its interest, it will either make this
standard guage road from Golden to
Silver Plume or else put the present
line in proper shape by improving the
bed and electrifying the cars. While
the former would be preferable, yet the
latter with its electric cars running
more frequently during the day for
passenger service would be wonder
full improvement over the present an
tiquated mode of travel. Since the
building of the Moffat line the decrease
in travel up this way during the tour
ist season is very evident and some
thing should be done to counteract this
There is no better summer trip than
the one that passes through the irriga-
ted fields between Denver and Golden,
then up the winding gulch with its ever
changing scenery to Silver Plume with
the famous loop as a climax, then on
the Argentine Central to the very sum
nit of the continental divide. AS one
day trip there is nothing in Colorado to
excel it and the railroad should be in
such condition to amply cope with its
rival on the north. There is no ques-
tion but that the Burlington officials
will see the point and act on it as it
can be made one of their best paying
! feeders.

Boosters at Work
The spirit of boosting has invaded
the First Presbyterian church of our
city in most unique manner. The
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
church of the United States meets in
Denver from May Goth to May 30th and
through the endeavors of Mr.. John
G. Roberts, the honor of securing
gavel to be used at the sessions of
this General Assembly and to be pre-
sented to the newly elected moderator
was given to the first Presbyter ian
church of this city. At the annual
congregational meeting of the church a
committee of three was appointed con-
sisting of John G. Roberts, F. E. An
COVE and Rev. E E. Jones, to secure
as fine specimen of native free gold
bearing rock as possible, have the same
made into a gavel and present it to the
General Assembly. The committee has
secured through the cooperation of
John w. Anderson and Royal K. Gra-
ham, specimen from the Columbia
mine showing free gold over the entire:
face of the rock, and which is valued
in excess of 100000 per ton. The
work on the gavel is row in pro-
cess. Coming at the time OF the fifteth
anniversary of the discovery of gold in
paying quantities in this state, it will
prove splendid advertisement for
Idaho Springs among the 1900 dele
gates representing 279 Presbyteries
and 10. OF churches in this country.

Standard Group. owned by W. T.
Chappell and located up Fall river
about four miles from it's junction with
Clear Creek. The section around this
location is showing up in fine shape and
there is no question but what the fu-
ture will place it among the large pro-
ducing camps of lower Clear Creek.
In this locality are situated such prom
Using properties as the Golconda, AL
MAIDEN, lngham, Phillips and many
others and in all of which are excellent
snowings of ore and from which many
good shipments have been made. The
Standard tunnel is now in distance of
about 700 feet from the portal the veins
as cut are numbered and the last one is
No. 10. Several of the veins hereto
fore cut have made very large and
paying shipments but the last one is
the best thus far encountered. The
vein is fully eight feet wide and con-
sists of good mill dirt the entire width.
Scattered through it are streaks run
ming from half of an inch to two
inches permeated with gray and yell
low copper. 1t will not be drifted on
for sometime as Segelson and Beckman
have contract to extend the tunnel
for one hundred feet and have com
pleted about fifty three feet of this
contract. AS soon as this is all com
pleted, the work of drifting on both
sides Of the tunnel will begin and in
this manner there will be no lnterfer-
ence either with drifting for the con-
tractors. The Standard group consists
of twenty four claims. 1t is equipped
with mill costing with machinery etc
about k$25, 900 and is up-to-date in
every respect. The plant includes
twenty stamps. plates, tables, COM
power drills and steam power appli-
canoes. The strike is attracting
great attention and samples of the ore
are sought by everyone who mines or
goes near the property.

west from the tunnel line six inch
streak has been encountered which in
dicates permanency. The ore was
opened on the hanging wall and assays
show good values. This lateral is being
extended to intersect the Kinda lode
and the prospects now are that the vein
now encountered will continue the re-
naming didtance.
