improvements Started
AT Hot Springs Hotel

The continuous over crowded condi-
ton of the Hot Springs hotel during
the past few weeks has made additional
acco m m d t ons imperative. The
eleven new rooms over the kitchen and
dining room will be finished at once.
Manager Dan G. Holland was down to
Denver Tuesday to conclude the nego-
tiations with Mr.. Meyer and the neces-
sary funds were placed at his disposal to
proceed at once-with the work and the
furnishing of the new rooms
The work will involve a considerable
job of plumbing, lathing, pastering
and carpenter work. The rooms will be
beautifully finished and the plumbing
fixtures will be the best the market
affords. The furniture and floor cover
ings will be in keeping with the other
high class appointments of the popular
hotel. The total expense of the new
improvements will run close to $1,000.
The Mines Supply company will start
Monday on the plumbing.

Cincinnati Mine Now
In High Grade Ore

Only three months ago Messrs.
Oscar johnson and John Stasney
secured a lease on the Cincinnati
mine in ellison gulch. They con-
Guided to sink a new shaft about
200 feet west of the old shaft and
have had some ore from the start.
Within the last twelve feet, how
ever, solid streak of high grade
ore has been exposed that varies
from six to ten inches in width.
They now have nearly a car ready
for shipment.
The CINCINNATI vein carries the
highest grade of ore of any vein in
the gulch and it looks like johnson
and Stasney have picked a winner.

Beautiful Picture
By Local Talent

Have you noticed the beautiful
painting "a Scene in Estes Park" >
on exhibition in the window of
Deis' store9 1t was painted by c.
T. Clymer, who recently removed
to Idaho Springs to engage in the
manufacture of cigars. The pic
ture is pronounced true TO the
scene it is intended to portray and
is but sample of the many beau
tiful works of art Mr.. Clymer has
produced.
We have heard it remarked that
, if his cigars are as good as his
pictures they must be first-class
and those who smoke them say
they are.

Clear Greek county lost another
influential citizen and man of af-
fairs when death claimed County
Commissioner John Stewart Thurs

Herd of Elk TO
Arrive Saturday

Forest Ranger w. B. Kelso
went to Denver today to receive
the carload of elk being supplied
by the United States government
to roam the mountains of Clea
Greek county. They are being
brought from. the jackson Hoe
country in Wyoming where they
have become quite numerous anc
are being transported by the
railroad companies free Of charge
as a donation to the public.
1t is expected they will arrive
in Idaho Springs Saturday fore
noon on the com bination train but
should there be any failure in
making train connections in Den
yer they will be held over in Den
yer until Monday as the men
in charge are adverse to having
them brought up on the evening
train as it would be too late to
care for them as is planned. The
animals will be unloaded at the
switch at Roberts mill and will be
expected to follow trail to the old
Sol Nichols ranch on Soda creek,
and considerable interest has been
aroused by those who are anxious
to see the elk turned loose to their
new freedom.
In addition to the contributions
for the expense of capturing the
animals and bringing them here,
as reported in last weeks Siftings,
we add the following contributors:

Contract Let For Bio
Five Tunnel Drive

More good news for Idaho
Springs was verified when the con-
tract for driving the Big Five tun-
mel an additional 1000 feet was let
last week. 1t means the employ
ment of more men and the Big
Five will open up vast territory
Of virgin ground which is UNI
loubtedly rich in gold. silver, lead
md copper.
The Big Five has already inter
sected the Lake Bellman and other
big mines near the head of Virgin
ia canon from which thousands of
tons of rich ore has been taken out
and large bodies are still in sight.
Within the next 1000 feet the big
mines of Russell Gulch will be
undercut at a depth of from 1900
to 2OOO feet, thus affording an
economical method Of working
them and transporting the product
to the mills and samplers of Idaho
Springs.

You are weak

which is conveyed by animals or
birds who eat of the carcass.
Use every precaution cleaning
up, disinfect all sheds or stalls
where sick animals have been,
and burn ali the litter where the
dead animal has been bedded,
Keep your herd vaccinated at
all times with a vaccine from a
reliable company, for it is the
only successful way of combating
and preventing the disease.
Calves should be vacclnated as
soon as they are old enough to eat
forage. 1t is best to vaccinate
early in the spring before turning
the herd OUT on the range, and
again in the fall when taking
them in. If you use the pellet
form, be careful the pellet does
not roll out before injecting the
needle. Roll the pellets in vase
line or lard So they will adhere
to the needle.
The loss Of one animal will
more than pay for vaccination or
the entire herd in many cases,
50 it looks like a pretty good
economy to spend a little money
as a precautionary measure. Do
not wait until blackleg appears
in your herd. Do it now. NY ]. c..

TO CHECK BLACKLEC
J. c.. Taylor Writes Concern
ing This Disease.

Every stock grower should be
on the alert for the appear
ance OF blackleg in his herd or
within the community. The dis
ease caused considerable loss las,
fall and winter, and the sections
that had losses may have a re-
occurrence of the trouble this
spring. Animals dying from the
disease were not always proper
ly desposed Of, and where such
cases occurred it will pay to be
doubly cautious. Watch your
herds closely and if they were
not vaccinated last fall, do so at
your earliest opportunity.
You had better order your vac
cine right now and have it on hand
for you will want to vaccinate be-
fore turning YOUR stock out any
way. Government vaccine may be
secured free Of charge from your
state veterinarian, or at WASH
ington, D. G. Do not wait, but
get it now.
Blackleg is most virulent,
rapidly fatal, infectious disease
of young cattle. All young cattle
that have begun to forage for
themselves are most susceptible
until they are two years old.
Cattle over two years old may
become affected but such cases
are infrequent. It is a mistake
to believe that only the fat cattle
contract this disease, for cattle in
poor condition, rundown vitality.
are probably just as susceptible
and do become infected.
Tne symptoms of blackleg are
very characteristic and easily rec
ogniZed by careful examination.
The most important symptom is
the swelling which invariable ac-
companies the disease, occurring
under the skin and located on the
thighs, the shoulders, the neck,
flank or the rump. When strok-
ed or handled peculiar cracking
sound is heard under the skin,
due to collection of gas formed
by the germs as they multiply.
1t is a we'll established fact that
the germ which causes the dis
ease will live in moist soil for
three years and still produce in
fection. Being enclosed in thick
case. or spore as it is called, it is
very resistant to cold, and when
kept in darkness will live for a
number Of years. These minute
organisms gain entrance to the
tissues and muscles through
wounds and abrasions of the skin;
sometimes by the mouth, tongue
or throat; slight wounds caused
by stubble, barbed wire, thorns,
briars, sharp or pointed parts of
food.
There is no cure for the disease,
but prevention. Whenever a
victim dies the carcass should be
promptly burned or buried deep
