APEX HAPPENINGS
n

President Tapp, of the Ever
green Mining Co., visited the
property on Thursday.
H. j. Barker left for Black
Hawk Friday evening to attend
the Elks' dance at Central and
while he danced the hours away
the snow kept piling up and block
ed the roads so he has not been
able to return to Apex yet.
Miss Lorraine Williams and
Willmetta Renck left Friday for
Central to attend the dance and
have been unable to return on ac-
count of the snow.
Carrie Verne left Friday for
Central to attend the dance and
returned Saturday morning, ac-
companied by Mrs. George Athan-
aston. BY the time they reached
Apex the snow was so deep and a
blizzard blowing, that Mrs. Ath-
anasion was compelled to remain
until Monday, when she and Pete
jacobson walked to Silver Creek
and from there phoned to Central
for conveyance of some kind to
take them. The Snyder brothers
came out with their Colt Eight
and took them to Central. They
felt no i'll effects from their eX-
perience. The storm was so bad
that the men were unable to get
to the Evergreen mine on Sunday.
Joe Katta, one of the engineers,
was on duty for forty hours, be-
ing unable to use skis. He had to
remain where he was. George
Bronson, the champion skier of
Apex, carried him food and since
the trail is broken and Mr.. Katta
got home, he spends all his spare
time learning to use skis so that
he will never be caught like that
again.
C. A. Mcneil left Tuesday for
Central on skis. The snow was
soft and he had a hard trip. I'M
portant business called him to
Denver and he wanted to be on
hand when the train left Black
Hawk.
Mrs. George Kurtz and children
are snowbound at the Goebe,
ranch.
Foster and Darrow Mabee ar
rived from Denver Saturday.
About forty inches of snow fell
from Friday night until Monday
night. For April it is even with
the storm in April 1900, when AZ
inches fell from 6 p. m. April ID
to 6 a. m. April 16, but there was
no wind. This storm was accom-.
panied by high wind and cold
which has left our roads in bad
condition. No mail from Friday
until.

Solution of Gold Problem

The general public is slow to
realize that gold and it's produc-
tion is affected by the high cost
of living just the same as the in
dividual. For instance, the man
with an income of $4,000 in 1918
found on October 81, 1919, that
this income had automatically
been reduced in purchasing pow
er to $4,000 in terms of all COM
modities. In other words, $4,000
in actual gold was only worth
$4,000 in comparison with it's
purchasing power six years be-
fore. ,-f
The gold miners cost of opera
tion in producing gold has in
creased in proportion to the in
dividuals living costs but, in
stead of getting increased price
for his product to offset this in
creased cost of production, the
gold miner still continues to re-
ceive S2067 fine ounce for his
gold, the figure established sew
eral hundred years ago.
The result has been inevitable.
In 1915 the U. S. gold production
was $101, 100000; in 1918 it was
down to $6S,OOO,0OO; and this
year it will probably be down to
$50, 100000 or S60,000,000. 1t has
been impossible to increase the
price of gold without upsetting
the standard of values thruout
the world but at last satisfac-
tory solution seems to have been
found. A measure is being plac-
ed before congress which provides
that premium of $40 per fine
ounce shall be paid to every per-
son producing gold in the United
States; said payments to be made
out of funds to be provided by an
excise tax of so cents per penny
weight ($10 per ounce) on its use,
manufacture or sale of gold in
the United States for other than
coinage or monetary purposes. In
other words, $40 an ounce would
be added to all gold used for COM
'mercial purposes other than max
ing money. This would provide a
fund sufficient for the government
to pay gold producers an addition
al $40 an ounce to cover their
greatly increased cost of produc-
tion.
Something must be done as our
gold supply is disappearing. AT
the end of five year period if
conditions were again normal the
excise tax could be removed. In
the meantime gold production
would be greatly encouraged. In
the interest Of the manufactures
and gold producer alike this ques-
tion must be equalized or the man
ufacturer will soon be out of gold
for manufacturing purposes and
most of the producers will be out
of businesS,-Manufa

The Elks scored a great hit
with their dance last Friday even
ing. The hall was crowded and
dancing lasted until 3 a. m. Music
furnished by the Idaho Springs
orchestra was par excellent. Cam
outage punch was served during
the evening and at midnight the
dancers sat down to a generous
service of sandwiches, cake and
coffee. The Elks contemplate CIV
ing another dance in the near fu-
ture to satisfy the insistent de-
mands of the dancing fraternity.

Tony Dallapietra passed thru
town today with about thirty head
of cattle. Having no feed for
them at Russell Gulch he is TAX
ing them to the Gundy ranch
where he has hay to feed them un-
til the snow disappears and they
can rustic for themselves. He was
assisted by ]. w. Baldwin, Char
lie Mangelson and Fred Cassa-
granda.

Morris Hazard, clerk of the
district court, received check
on the last mail before the snow
storm for $500 from the Aetna
Surety Co., Denver, the amount
of the bond forfeited by Edmund
Fuller who was to have appeared
in the district court at the April
term to stand trial on the charge
of having obtained labor and SER
vices under false pretenses. The
money will be turned over to the
county.

GRATED with the fascinating block
printing in June colors! Why not,
since the girl-who-does-things may
learn this craft?
The block Is of soft wood, a trifle
larger than your design and sand
papered smooth. One of the baby's
building blocks will do. Draw a
pattern of simple flower, leaf, or
conventional ornament on heavy
tracing paper, paste it to the block
and cut out the background around
the pattern with sharp pen knife.
Clamp the block down to your
working table while you do the
carving. Be very careful to keep
the edges of the design sharp, and
do not chip the wood
Dyes or oil colOrs are the ones to
use. Oils give the prettiest results.
Squeeze the paint from the tube
into saucer and mix it with tur-
pentine to the consistency of cream.
Add few drops of mucilage. Fold
several thicknesses of soft, old
cloth and lay it in the saucer.
letting it soak up the color to make
a pad for your printing. The soak
ing and even spreading of color on
this pad will help much with the
success of your printing
The block, before printing on any
material, should be pressed sew
eral times on the color pad and
then wiped off with a cloth in
order to fill up the pores of the
wood and be in good working con-
dition.
Unbleached muslin, pongee silk,
cheese cloth, denim and coarse
linen are excellent materials for
block printing. Stretch the cloth
tightly and smoothly on a board,
after marking it with basting
thread or pins to show you where
the design is to be printed. Press
the block on the pad and then press
the pad, face down, on the cloth,
it with small wooden
if you want the color deep.

brown eyes.

too. They bought him clothes. and
when September came, William
started to school. just like other
boys and girls. He learned to be
good and kind, and not to be sell
fish with his playfellows. Also.
William learned to ride, and Farmer
Higgins bought William little
spirited pony.
William was very proud of his
little pony, and he named him
"Doodles." His friend had a pony,
and they often went riding around
the mountains, for they lived at the
foot of a mountain. William loved
the woods and mountains, and he
often watched the sun set in the
west. First, the sun would reflect
bright pink and then it would
fade into very light pink, and
when the sun went down William
would write in his diary and
describe the colors in the sky
every night.
And now, dear children, who read
this story, try and be kind like
William, for when he is man and
marries he will tell his children all
about his life in the orphans Home

That fills the air with music rings;
love the Red Bird and the Kite,
The little Squeaking Owl that
boots at night.
God has created all things good,
The birds and flowers and shady
woods, 49,.
The many joys this world does
bring,
| love all kinds of lovely things.
