Georgetown Tunnel
Reaching Great Lodes

The Georgetown tunnel has now
reached depth of some 500 feet,
and is being steadily driven ahead.
Some of the greatest producing
lodes in the upper end of the coun-
ty are ahead of the proposed course
of the tunnel. which when cut
should prove of very great value,
being cut at SO great a depth.
1t has been demonstrated that
the mineral veins of this district
are of greater value with increas-
ing depth which fact should en-
courage the operators, for there
are some of the greatest lodes in the
district within the proposed line
which lodes produced handsomely
from practically surface workings.

We Don't Have To

The story is told OF Texas edi-
tor who used to shoot his sub
scribers in the leg to remind them
of their unpaid subscriptions. He
is still living, is at leisure, and we
are told that his services are sought
by some of the Colorado editors.
The way the friends of the Sift-
ings-News have been getting in
line indicates that we don't have
to resort to such methods. Our
February subscription collections
were 62 per cent better than Jan
nary, 90 per cent better than De-
cember, $40 per cent. better than
November, 1900 per cent. better
than October and 1900 per cent.
better than September. That's
going some. We added two new
subscribers Monday, three on
Tuesday, three on Wednesday and
four on Thursday Of this week.
In our next week issue we hope
to have more spare and publish
an "honor rolf of the good friends
who have lately paid up and
those who have become new men,

0. H. Shaffer Called
10 His Last Rest

Death took away one of Idaho
Springs best known and most
highly respected citizens last Mon
day, March 6. when Orville ii.
Shaffer was compelled to give up
the fight and surrender to the
Grim Reaper.
Mr.. Shaffer had been in poor
health for some time but his death
was unexpected by his many
friends and came as severe shock
to all.
Orville H. Shatfer was a son OF
S. d. and Margaret NJ. Shaffer and
was born in Bedford, Iowa, March
"a, 1874. The family removed to
Colorado, in 1879, to Clear Creek
county in 1882, and in 1885 to
Idaho Springs where Mr.. Shaffef
established his permanent home.
When but young man he engag-
ed in the ore hauling business for
several years, but later turned his
attention to mining at which he
was very successful. He was al
ways ready and willing to lend his
aid to any movement that tended
toward the advancement of his
neighbor or the community. Hon
est and fair in all his dealings with
his fellowmen he won and retained
their respect, and perhaps no man
in the community stood higher in
the estimation of his fellow citizens
than O. H. Shaffer.
He leaves to mourn his loss, his
wife; his father, S. d. Shaffer of
Denver; sister, Mrs. Monroe
Chapman of Denver; three broth-
ers, W. l.. Shatfer of this city;
Thomas L. Of Salida and Earl of
Delta, Colo, all Of them being
present at the funeral service which
was held at the late residence
Thursday afternoon, Rev. Leonard
Mytton officiating. The remains
were taken to Crown Hill cemetery.
Denver, Friday morning, and laid
to rest beside his mother, who pre-
ceded him to the grave a few
months ago.
The pall-bearers were W. A.
Roberts, John Morrow, Herbert
Batchelder, s. G. McGinnis, George
Straub and A. E. Straub. The
business houses were closed Thurs
day afternoon during the funeral.

Some Wind

The windsrorm Monday night
was the most severe that has Wis
tied this section in wears. Numer-
Gus fences were blown down, win
dows blown in and loose articles
such as wash tubs and boxes were
carried from their tnoorings.
Houses were swayed sufficiently to
rock some people to sleep and
enough to keep others awake
wondering when the worst would
be over. A tourist reports that
he arose at 2 O'Clock, donned his
clothes, ate breakfast, packed his
suit case and was ready to run.
Since Monday the wind has con-
tinued to blow at times but con-
d,ions seem to have become ad-
justed and spring weather reigns.

Shower For Mrs. Meyer

Mrs. William Luke Bush was
''at home' Thursday from four
O'Clock until six in honor of Mrs
John Carl Meyer. Nearly fifty
guests were present to extend their
best wishes to the bride.
Mrs. F. l.. Colon and Mrs. Il.
B. Morton presided at the dining
room table in the center of which
stood huge white basket filled
with delicate pink sweet peas and
artistically draped white tulle. At
each end were glass candlesticks
holding white candles, each tied
with the white tulle. Miss Unis
Which and Miss Margaret Kimball
served the dainty refreshments.
The reception was in the form
of miscellaneous shower, and
after the guests had been served
everything was removed from the
table except the center piece,
when the gifts were brought in
and presented to the bride. Mrs.
Meyer received many useful and
handsome gifts of which she is
justly proud.
The afternoon was one of the
most pleasant of the season and
again proved Mrs. Bush a charm
ing hostess.

Meyer-Festabend

The ore is hauled by wagon to

the remainder shipped to Salida.
There is lack of teams to han

the leasers to be behind more than
two weeks with their shipments.
The same condition exists at the

The federal-aid road act and another

American government, the principle Of
cooperation between federal and state

this principle. They are therefore very
significant. Heretofore federal and

and usually receives attention out of
al proportion to his needs, and also
out of all proportion to his special

receiving any real injury from the

relatives. But when the child gets to
the cunning age it is different, espe-

must receive all Kinds of sense stimu-

Farm Lands Increase In vaIue.

The value Of farm lands of the Unit
ed States is estimated at $3.50 per
acre, as compared with $4O.S5 a year
ago, 4O.31 two years ago, $3.50 three
years ago and $3G.23 four years ago.
The census reported the value Of
farm lands in 1910 as $32.4O, and in
1900 as $1557 per acre.
In recent years the value of farm
lands has been increasing at the rate
of about . per cent year, or approx
mately 81 per acre per year. The ex-
ceptional Increase of the past year
may be explained partly by the reac-
ton in the southern cotton states fol-
lowing a temporary depression last
year, and partly by the stimulus given
by the war to prices, particularly of
grain.
