S4,0O0,0O0 Orders
Given For Tungsten

Boulder. Colo.--Colorado's tung-
stem district is coming into its
own again, orders for 100000 of
concentrates having been placed
in Boulder yesterday. Of these
orders, the Primos Chemical COM
pany received 50 100000 and the
Wolf Tongue company the remain
der.
Lessees from these companies
who obtained leave to quit the
field when prices went down, have
been recalled and assurances have
been given that prices far in ad-
vance of those paid recently will
be given for the ore to be mined
under the new orders. 1t is said
that there is no stored concentrate
at Boulder or the neighboring
camps and that little if any ore is
awaiting treatment except in plants
that have eastern steel connections.

NOPOStOffice Location
Selected As Yet

There were but four bidders for
the postotfice contract and the
government still has the matter
under consideration.
Sol Weinberger offered the
government the choice of either
the room he now occupies or the
former Gem theatre building, re-
presenting his brother Simon of
New York.
Lafayette Hanchett offered the
room just vacated by A. Brostrom.
Albert Hall put in bid on his
vacant room in the Hall block.
Mrs. Mary Trathen made a new
proposal on the present postotfice
location, and having the equip
ment already in position and the
postoffice established in her build
ing, is conceded to have an advant-
age over competing bidders.
The government agent, who was
here recently, had nothing to say
regarding the several bids, but
carefully inspected the several
places offered and his recommend
ations, whatever they We're, were
forwarded to Washington where
the selection will be made.
1t is rumored that Mr.. Hanchett
proposed to equip his building with
new and beautiful mahogany fix
lures of the most modern type and
to fit up the room in such way
as to make its selection most de-
sirable.
Erwin L. Regennitter. John
Rohner and others who had the
matter under consideration decided
to not submit bids. The owners
of the building occupied by the
Gazette were also figuring on max
ing a bid, but at the last moment
withdrew from the race.

New Wagon Road
To The Comet Mine

E. F. Fitzgerald, manager of the
Comet mine located above the
Lamartine, has a force of men now
at work on the property and has
everything in good shape for
winters campaign of strenuous
work. A wagon road has been
built to the mine connecting with
the one built by the Onandago
people to their property. This
will be a great benefit as it will
shorten the distance of hauling
the ore and supplies to and from
the Georgetown market. Mr.. Fitz.
gerald has had charge of the Comet
mine for the last year and has un-
bounded faith in the property, and
from the present indications his
faith is very we'll founded.
Mr.. Fitzgerald is an experien-
ced and practical miner and knows
how to make every dollar inves-
ted bring good returns.

SilVer'S Advance

An advance of / points was real
lied in Mondays quotation for bar
silver, the price closing at 72.125
cents per ounce, the highest since
last May. The average of 60 cents
per ounce, or gain of 30 per cent
over 1915, is confidently predicted
for the present year.
The last week has witnessed a
big jump in silver, with the new
high price remaining fairly steady.
London reports that America has
been selling freely. India has
been showing little interest and
China exchange has been steady.
Stocks at Shanghai remain fairly
constant at 100000 ounces in
bars and 16,5OO,OOO in Mexican
dollars.
The Notwithstanding Deut-
schland received silver valued at
S15O,OOO, say 10000 ounces, for
shipment to Germany.
Silver bullion shipments from
Tonopah last week totaled 1922, ,236.

The demise of Mr.. Mallalieu
causes particular sadness because
he was man with an exception

everybody, generous almost to a
fault, and with an enviable dis

with the Siftings-News as editor

careful to offend nobody, and tried
his best to be of service wherever
he could. He neglected his own
welfare to be accommodating to
others. In his passing the world
loses a splendid character.

Night Fire Destroys
CucumberS and Spuds

What gave promise of being II
disastrous conhagration was quick
ly extinguished at 3 o'clock Mon
day morning. and the Marching
ton row of buildings and perhaps
other property was saved from
destruction.
Fire starting from some unknown
cause in the corner store room oc-
cupied by r. B. Widom as a fruit
and vegetable store was eating its
way up through the wall and
spreading to the upstairs rooms
when discovered by Ralph Will
kins, who sent in the alarm. After
several efforts to call the fire boys
from hereby alarm box that was
out of commission, it was found
necessary to run to the Gem Elec-
trio plant to sound the alarm. The
loud siren call aroused the fire
fighters and the blaze was soon
under control, but not until the
stock was completely ruined by
fire, smoke and water
Insurance was carried on the
stock to the amount of $500, and
there are those who have their
doubts about the fire being acci-
dental. 1t is said that consider
able portion of the stock had pre-
viously been removed. Mrs. Widom
had gone to Denver and Mr..
Widom was over in Central City,
having departed at O'Clock Sun
day afternoon with load, and
leaving the place without any at
tendant.
F. w. Feiler, adjuster, and Her
bert johnson, local agent for the
insurance company, were both
thoroughly satisfied that the fire
was accidental and paid Sl71.53 to
cover the loss by fire, smoke, water,
and by the freezing of vegetables
as result of exposure. Some
additional insurance was carried
on the household goods, but with
another agent.
Mr.. Widom informed the Sift
ings that large quantities Of goods
consisting of chickens and case
after case of canned goods had
been stolen from the place and he
is of the opinion that the building
was fired by some unknown mis-
creant to cover up the theft. q
The building is owned by S.
Marchington and George Engberg
of Centerville. S. d. There was
no insurance on the building and
Mr.. Marchington is not prepared
TO say what will be done with it..

BOARD OF HEALTH
 HOLDS INTERESTING
 MEETING LAST NIGHT
Many Subjects of Vital Interest to the City's Welfare Dis
 cussed.

The Board of Health of the city of Seward, composed of the. city clerk, police and health committee of the council, health officer and the marshal met last night at the office of the city clerk for the report covering the year 1915. The city health officer, Dr. Romig, handed in his report for the year which showed for that period seven births and five deaths. No mar riages were reported to the board this year by the ministers as required by the ordinance, who have therefore become delinquent.
 Five cases of measles and two of humps are the contagious report for the year.
 A resolution was passed to have the  health ordinance printed, and every one is advised to read over the or dinance carefully before the first of
 .lter which date the ordinance will be enforced stringently.
 In regard to the garbage of the city the health officer reported that it Wa. his belief that the great number of flies last summer was due to the un- removed and uncovered manure and garbage cans. The employing of a city scavenger was recommended who should remove garbage cans and manure from stables once a week and the garbage at residences at least once every other week. It is also pointed out that all garbage recept- acles shall not be open.
 A site for a quarantine hospital a mile and a half south of the city on the creek this side of Lowell point was recommended, and also the cree ton of a suitable building at that place.
 The officer also reported that there is always a fresh supply of vaccine and antitoxin on hand to handle any epidenmic that may arise here.
 It was pointed out that there were very few cases in the past year for free medical treatment although the board is organized and prepared to handle any in case such should be necessary.
 The health officer reported that the city was abundantly supplied with good pure water.
 He also reports that the stores and restaurants have been inspected three times during the past year and for the most part found them in good condition. He reports that few of the restaurants have kitchens too small for the business and would therefore recommend that improve ments be made immediately.
 The report also pointed out that the city sewer system was very poor, tha, sewers emptied into the bay at the foot of each street and tended to con taminate the beach and waterfront. For this reason, and that the sewer is not large enough and not deep enough in the ground, and therefore of danger to health, the board recom- mends the appointment of compet- ent engineer to change the present system and have same empty in other places than at present.
 The matter of exit signs and exits was also taken up last night. All
