LOOKS AT
GENEALOGICAL TREE
Sons Of American Revolution
to Organize Chapter
in Salem

Now that the Daughters of the Am
eriean Revolution have stronglf or
ganized chapter in Salem and the
Sons of the American Revolution are
preparing to form an Oregon chapter,
general interest is now being taken
by many Salem people in their an
cestors. In fact, according to Miss
Cordelia Marvin, state librarian, the
study of genellogy is now becoming
quite popular and the state library IS
having calls daily from those who are
interested in tracing their ancestry to
the Revolutionary days.
For those who would like to know
whether their family tree extends back
to their neutrality-suspicious. and
whether said individuals served either
as a soldier or sailor in the Revolution
ary war, or gave aid and comfort to
the Revolution forces, the first step is
to consult at the state library tine AM
erican and English Genealogies in the
Library Of Congress. This book Will
give list of those whose genealogies
have been prepared and are ON record.
If one is pretty sure their ancestors
were on the right side about l40 years
ago, the next step is to find out wheth-
er the family mas ever proven up. If
the place where the original family
lived is known, it is easy enough to
write back and secure information, as
parties are to be found in almost all of
the cities and towns in the east who
make it a business of looking up fam
lily trees for those who believe they
had ancestors worth knowing. But do
not write any of the big Libraries in
the east as they are not in the busl-
ness of looking up or ferreting out de-
srable family trees,
For those who wish to study geneal-
ogy, the first thing is to learn where
one s ancestors lived. Each state in
the east has records especially of the
colonial period. Maine has complete
record of every soldier or sailor that
served during the Revolutionary war.
For those in Salem wno are interest
ed in the study of genealogy, the fol
lowinC books are on file at the state
library:
Boston, Selectmen's minutes and
town records.
Connecticut, Public records of the
colony.
Connecticut, Vital records.
Delaware, Archives.
Keorgia, Colonial records; Revolu-
tionary records.

Arg0 Mill Was
First 10 Reduce

A visit to the Argo mill is all
that is neSded to convince the most
skeptical that the mining industry
in Clear Creek county has taken
on new lease of life, and that the
prospects in the mining field are
brighter than they have been for
several years. The big plant is
being operated to its fullest capac-
ity and is turning out a finished
product equal to any plant in the
state. The purchase of ores in the
last six months shows steady
and healthy increase both in guam
tity and quality.
More shan four months ago the
management of the Argo mill re-
duced the deductions on copper
ore from one-and- -one-half percent
to one percent and their competi-
ton probably had as much to dc
with the later reduction by the
smelter combine as any organized
movement on the part of the metal
miners. The Argo plant was the
first one in the county to make
this deduction, and in so doing
showed that they were interested
in the welfare of the shipper and
willing to pay for the metal his
ores contain. Nearly all the ores
produced in this section contain
more or less copper.

Tennessee Company
Continues Development

P. w. Welcb, resident manager
of the Tennessee Mining and Mill
ing company, continues to push the
work ahead on the companv's
holdings on Chicago creek. The
property is located about one mile
west of the Little Matte mine and
Is developed by IA shaft sunk on
the King Solomon vein at the
point of discovery, and an adit run
on the vein. also by cross-cut
tunnel which has been driven 100
feet. AT IA distance of 900 feet the
King Solomon vein was encounter
ed, and it is on this vein the work
is now being done. Drifting has
been done both east and west of
the tunnel, the west drift being
about 300 feet and the east one 400
feet.
A raise has also been put through
to connect with the upper work
ings, thereby giving good circu-
lation of air in all the workings of
the mine. The mine is equipped
with fine compressor plant of
sufficient capacity for all purposes
and with all of the necessary build
ings. The King Solomon vein is
the western extension of the famous
Matte mine, and has in the past
produced some very high grade ore
and there is no question Of doubt
but what there is plenty more of
the same kind Of material to be
found.
Mr.. Welch and associates possess
those staying qualities, which is
one of the necessary qualifications
to insure success in the mining
business, and the Tennessee Min
ing company is destined to meet
with success.

No Change In Train
Service Just Now

In last week 5 issue of the Sift-
ings reference was made to the eff
forts OF the people of Clear Greek
county to induce the Colorado and
Southern railway to continue their
present train service through the
winter. The company had an
nounced thatthe train which comes
up in the morning and goes down
in the evening would be taken off
after Tuesday, October II. leaving
only one passenger train each way
daily, but providing passenger
coach for the local freight train.
E 5. Kohler, vice president and
general manager of the railroad
announced Thursday of this week
that he would order the service
continued at least until January l.
Mr.. kohler is of the opinion that
the train will not do sufficient
business through the winter to pay
its way but does not wish to be
arbitrary in the matter and dis
please the patrons of the road.
Should it be demonstrated that
the train is at least paying expen-
ses, the service will be continued.
Mr.. Kohler says. But if it can be
shown by the company that the
loss is burden it is expected the
people will consent TO the with
drawal of the train without protest

Daddy Mclean Will
Have New Gallery

The many friends of L. Mclean,
the pioneer photographer who has
just passed his 73rd birthday an
niversary, have joined together and
erected for him brand new photo
graph gallery on the ground be-
tween the creek and the railroad
on the south side of Miner street.
The building is already nearly
completed and is SO well located
that it cannot be overlooked. Mr..
Mclean occupied his former loca-
ton above the depot for more than
thirty years.
The new building is substanti-
ally constructed and will give en-
joyment to the friends who helped
to build it, as we'll as the pioneer
photographer who will occupy it

Reduction In High
Cost of LiVinu

The thought uppermost in the minds
of every housewife and home owner to-
day is that of the gradual but persistent
increase in the cost of all Housekeeping e
commodities
Various explanations have been sought
and given covering this important ques-
tion with but mediocre results, as far
as the alleviation of the condition is
concerned.
Generally speaking, the trend of costs
for all everyday necessities has had an
upward tendency for the past five to ten
years but the abnormal dilation of
prices in the last year has brought every
one of US face to face with a problem
of no mean significance
And so, just at this tine, it is indeed
a pleasant and welcome surprise to learn
that one of the most useful as well as
most necessary items in the couduct of
our homes, has been reduced in price
| We are referring to the commendable
action initiated by the United Hydro
Electric company. and announced to the
people of Idaho Springs and Georgetown
throught the columns of this paper last
week. The gratitude of the people in
the community is due the United Hydro
for being the first to take the lead in
the matter of helping to reduce the
already too high cost of living.
1t might be said, parenthetically. that
an interview with the new management
of the United Hydro company discloses
the fact that the company is desirous of
making still further changes in its
methods of charge just as soon as the
increase in business, which is sure to
come, warrants the change The COM
pany also expects to furnish, without
obligation to its patrons, the free service
of number of its specialists, whose
duty it will be to give advice along the
lines of illumination and domestic usage
in the home and most efficient and econ
omical application of electric energy to
the various business houses along the
most modern lighting and power
