April Snow Storm Demoralizes

While in Denver and various
other parts Of the state the storm
was accompanied by a 81 mile

drifts, in Idaho Springs no wind
was stirring and the temperature
was just barely low enough for it
to snow instead of rain. The snow
fell Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

ing. only to start again with
renewed vigor.
The temperature not being low
the snow melted rapidly, but even
at that it was not difficult to mea-
sure from eighteen to twenty
inches on the level in various
places when the storm stopped.
The down train Saturday after
noon got only to Forhs Greek, and
waited there for the up-train
which had the right Of way. But
the up-train was stalled at Arvada.
The wires were down, preventing
the sending or receiving of word.
The train at Forks Greek carrying
twenty-six passengers for Denver
remained at "pie junction until
Sunday evening, when with the
assistance Of an extra engine it
was pushed back to Idaho Springs
and there was no train down until
Wednesday. The long hours pas
sedat the Forks were spent in a
good natured way and the passen-
gers and crew Joined in making
the best of an annoying situation
The greatest trouble along the
line seemed to be between Arvada
aud Golden, where the snow had
drifted badly under the high wind.
The big rotary snow plow was
not available for the Clear Greek
line until Wednesday morning
Its coming, pushed by three
steaming, smoking, snorting loco
motives. was the occasion for an
ovation, and soon after the rotary
passed thru, train was sent down,

chasing tickets to the metropolis.

Mormon Secrets Exposed

At the Third Worlds Christian
Citizenship Conference held in
Pittsburgh recently, more than a
whole day was devoted to the con-
sideration of Mormonism. DR..
James E. Talmage, a Mormon
apostle, came all the way from
Salt Lake City to ask the privilege
of speaking before the Worlds
Conference in defense of the Nor
mon faith. When his faith was
assailed, he asked for opportunity
to reply. After considerable dis
oussion, he was granted the priv
lege of speaking five minutes, but
he was soon interrupted with boots,
Kisses, and catcalls, SO that he
could not be heard. He stoutly
denied all the charges that were
brought against the church.
Mrs. Lulu Loveland Shepard
asserted that every Mormon was
required to wear a peculiar under
garment. In describing the ma
ture and significance of the under
garment she said:
when the garment is first put
on in the Mormon Temple, the tie
at the neck is of red, signifying
the blood atonement. Over the
right breast is square, and over
the left is compass, these
signifying that if the Mormon
breaks the. oath or reveals the
secrets, he will be quartered.
"Across the abdomen is slit
signifying that if the wearer
reveals any Of the oaths or se-
crets, his bowels will be removed
anddragged on the ground. Then
across the knees is curved line
signifying that the wearer's legs
shall be cut off at the knees for
violation of the oath. These gar
ments are never wholly removed
from the body.

girls in my home as servants" she
continued, "and when they bathe

NEWS ESTABLISHED 1898
stFTiNGs ESTABLISHED 1900

What is perhaps the greatest
strike in the Idaho Springs dis
trict in many years has been made
il the Arizona and Morning Star
mines by Walter B. Stewart, who
has the properties under lease and
option.
These mines are on Seaton
mountain, only two miles on an
airline or three and-three-tenths
miles by wagon road from Idaho
Springs, and practically adjoin
the old Sun and Moon mine which
has produced more than a million.
Mr.. Stewart started work Janu-
airy 15, first cleaning out the aban-
doned Morning Star shaft, which
is 25O feet deep. He then started
drifting east on the 150-foot level
for an intersection of veins which
show on the surface. 1t was. cal
culated the veins would be reached
at l63 feet, and sure enough, on
April 3, at point just 1853 feet
and 3 inches east of the Morning
Star shaft he commenced cutting
ores and has been in ore ever since
and is not yet into real vein inter-
section. The following ore bodies
have been cut: thirty inches of
mineral which assays $b9.76 per
ton: seven inches which returns
S17.30; eight inches which goes
SIT; and eight inches of high
grade stuff worth $118.8O. This
shows an average OF over $52 per
ton, and an actual lot shipment,
run of mine, returned over $53
per ton.
While driving this drift, Mr.
Stewart got thru from the bottom
of Morning Star shaft into the
Arizona shaft, which is $40 feet
deep. There he foundan old stope
of gold, silver. lead and copper

The oath which every Mormon
takes, as Mrs. Shepard gives it, is
as follows:
"You and each of you do cove
nant and promise that you will
pray and never cease to pray AL
mighty God to avenge the blood
of the prophets upon this nation,
and that you will teach the same

531 and in France 447.
Since 1913 the increase in ton miles
per capita carried by the railroads Of
the United States was more than the
total carried by either of the two other
countries in that year. In comparison
with the total of 63l carried by the
railroads In Germany and the total Of
447 carried by the railroads in France
the increase carried by the railroads in
the United States since 1913 was 759

Charles c. Sauer and Mr..
Capes had quite an experience.
They grew impatient at staying
on the train at Forks and started
out to walk to Golden. After
walking thru two miles or more of
snow, which became deeper the
further they went. they decided to
abandon the idea and return to
the train. They managed to get
back to the Forks only to find the
train had gone back to Idaho
Springs. Then they walked thru
the storm the entire distance to
Idaho Springs eleven miles.
Great quantities of mail came
in with the resumption of train
service, and everybody went to the
postofice eager to get good
bunch of letters.
Twenty-Five guests at the Hot

prolong their stay. and boarded the
