BARABOO COW
TESTING ASSOCIATION

The Foreground list is rather small
Ghis month, as most of the COWS do
not come fresh until later, and those
that are fresh are rather low, as
pasture is all gone and they are not
yet up to their full feed.
Most of the farmers are feeding
silage and gradually feeding more
grain. Those who have clover and
alfalfa hay and homegrown grains,
such as oats and corn, are not buying
much feed except some bran. They
get the protein in clover and alfalfa.
Feed is very high priced this year
and quite a number Of the farmers
say they can't afford to buy it, but
the price Of milk and butterfat is 60
ing up too, and no farmer can afford
10 let his COWS starVe. Some form Of
protein feed should always be bought,
such as cottOn-seed meal oil meal,
brewers grains, or gluten feed to
mix with the homegrown grains, if
short in protein roughage, as the
COWS will have to be kept and fed
some during the winter, or they will
run down in flesh and drop off in milk
so they can't do anything, even if
they do get good pasture in the
spring.
The following is list of owners
who COWS gave forty or more pounds
of butterfat in one month, ending

Tranway Relegated
TO The Scrap Heap

The Gilpin County Tramway,
the pride of the Little Kingdom
of Gilpin' and at one time the
busiest and best paying railroad
in the country, is to be relegated
to the scrap heap. Itwas built
more than twenty years ago for
the purpose of hauling ore from
the mines on Quartz hill and in
Russell Gulch to the mills and
samplers in Black Hawk. but when
the Argo tunnel undercut these
mines at a depth of from 1900 to
25OO feet, most of them were work.
ed from the tunnel and the ore
brought out on the Idaho Springs
side. Others were closed down,
thereby cutting off large amount
of business formerly done over
the tramway, and instead of being
the dividend payer that it was in
former years it has been a losing
proposition for some years.
: The railroad will be sold at
public sale. and any one wanting
fine scenic railway has good
chance to buy.

Major Anderson has very pro-
missing showing in his Seymour and
Old Glory veins which are located
about one mile from town on Mill
creek. A cross-cut tunnel was
driven 80 feet and intersected this
property at the junction of the
veins which separate into two veins
as they 90 west and into Red Ele-
phant mountain. One-hundred-
forty feet of drifting has been done
on these veins and there is good
ore showing in several places.
Small shipments have been made
from this property that returned a
value of over 70 ounces silver per
ton, besides small amount of lead
and copper. These are continue
alton to the east of the rich silver
lead veins on Red Elephant noun
tain which carry silver to the value
of from 300 to 500 ounces per ton,
and with development they may
prove equally as good.

Local Merchants Enjoy
Brisk Holiday Trade


through one entire year as a dry"
town, or at least without saloons,
and those who predicted year of
stagnation in business are forced
to admit that business has inn
proved.
With some of the merchants
business was little slower during
the year, due to various causes,
but the Christmas trade was SO
much better than year ago that
the total business for the year
shows an increase. The store of
N. Weinberger is in that class,
having enjoyed one of the best
Christmas trades in the history of
the store.
The grocerys all did a thriving
Christmas business, their sales
during the week preceding Christ
mas passing far beyond their ex-
pectations. The sales for the year
with the grocery merchants exceed
those of 1915 by from FIVE to
twenty percent.
The Mines Supply company re-
port better business throughout
the year, and Christmas trade far
in excess of previous years, due
to the stock of electrical appliances
they carried this year and to the
fact that they advertised their
wares.
Miss Anna Hoist, who embarked
in business eleven months ago, has
enjoyed steadily Increasing trade
from the very startssand her Christ
mas trade was saleavy that a clear:
lance ssle viii not be necessary.
She is we'll pleased with the out
look for the new year.
The Deis bookstore reports the
best trade in years, and both E. A
Eaves and S. B. Bitterly, the
jewellers, have enjoyed an increased
business thruout the year and a
better holiday trade than a year
ago.
Adolph Nelson has witnessed a
steadily increasing trade thruout
the year, this years sales being
the best for five years. At his
Georgetown and Silver Plume
stores the Christmas trade was
nothing short of remarkable, in
contrast to the lean years that have
passed into history.
The local druggists, too, have
experienced the same general in
crease in business during 1916
that has been in evidence in all
lines of trade. The bank de-
posits are better. The Colorado
-& Southern continues to give us
two trains daily each way, and the
new year for the Hot Springs and
other hotels gives every promise of
being the best ever experienced.
The johnson Candy company,
with with nothing to sell but
candy, did a phenominal business,
owing, no doubt, to the fact that
they are putting out particularly
fine line of goods of their own
manufacture.
The Marchington store did not
anticipate big holiday trade this
year owing to the high prices of the

Tobacco Is. Factor
In The Old u. S. A.

The following taken from a recent
issue of the Ciger Makers Official
Journal published at Chicago, gives
some idea of the tremendous and
far reaching in fuence of tobacco.
What some consider filthy weed
isn't exactly king but it certainly
is factor in the industrial and
commercial world as the clipping
will testify,
The secretary of the Tobacco
Merchants association of the
United States, has issued brief
in opposition to any legislation,
contemplating to raise she taxes
on any of the tobacco products.
from which we quote the following:
whether tobacco is or is not
laxury, the fact remins that
"31 100000 people in the United
States use it.
"42S,S79 retailers sell it.
"l9, 1000 factories manufacture it.
100000 farmers raise it.
81 .225, 100000 acres of farm land
produce it.
"175,O 900 wage earners work at it.

DumOnt Camp Is,
Becoming Very Active

The mining business, ib the
Dumont district has not baen for
many years as active as it Is an the
present time. The old reliable
Albro mine operated by Swanson,
Dingle Il Co. continues to turn out
its usual tonnage OF good ore every
month. An average. of twocars OF
smelling ore are s6nt to the smelter
per month and a. hundred or more
tons of mill dirt is treated at the
mill at Dumont in the same length
of time.
G. W. Lefchen is sending out
car of smesaing ore from the Syn
dicate mae twice month, besides
large, tonnage of good mill ore.
Mr.. Lerchen has always claimed
that the Syndicate mine should be
at the head of the producing mines
in the district and from the pres
ent indications it soon will be.
R. Stanhope and associates, cap
italists from Ohio, are doing
good work on the Senator property
and are sending out a very nice
tonnage of good grade ore.
The Bolthoff mill has been COM
pleted and will be in commission
the first of the year. and will be
supplied with ore from the Bolthoff
mines which are located in North
Springs gulch. short distance
from the mill. Work has been
carried on in this mine for several
years and the ore has been blocked
out and left standing. 1t will now
be taken down and sent to the
mill and smelters.
A Denver syndicate headed by
Mr.. Holloway, one OF the big
grocerymen of Denver, has taken
over the English Belle group and
have a large amount of good mill
dirt and also a fair sized streak OF
solid ore that is good for 500 per
ton.
George Chapman continues to
push the development work on his
claims and the showing grows
bigger and better with every round
of shots.
Every resident of the hustling
camp of Dumont is very optimistic
over the outlook for the coming
year, and predict that the dawn of
the long-looked. for prosperity is
here.
