BEGINNING A NEW YEAR.

Though we are apt to think that
New Years has been observed since
the year one, such is not the case
In fact, there is no mention Of the
day as a Christian festival until. the
fifth century, and even now the He
brews celebrate their New Years In
September, for their calendar is ar
ranged according TO the new moon
which makes New Years movable
holiday. Today. however, there is
scarcely q nation but observes this
season of the year in some manner
or other, though customs differ in
most localities.

Use Limestone.

One hundred and eighty tons of pull
verified limestone were used in Grant
county during the past season. AS
soon as local supplies are developed
and made available, this amount will
be greatly increased, as the benefits Of
limestone are shown through expert
ence in all parts of the county.
Fifteen samples Of rock were sent
TO the soils laboratory at Madison TO
be tested for available lime. Two
natural beds of finely pulverized
limestone were examined and plans
are under way to develop these beds
for the use Of farmers in the vicinity.
These natural beds test 100 per cent
neutralizing value Still other de-
posits of this kind are to be found in
this vicinity wherever the deposit has
been opened up or exposed by q road
or ravne.
Cooperation of County Newspapers.
There are nearly 1000 farms in the
county alone. There are 10 county
newspapers that make weekly visits to
the home in various parts of the coun-
ty. In order that the services of the
county agent might reach each farm
home frequently, a half column or
more Of farm notes have been sent to
every newspaper in the county nearly
every week. This material appears
in most Of the papers regularly.
The cooperation of the county
press in supplying an opportunity for
the county agent to speak to the
readers of the county papers has
helped materially to establish the
work and get the cooperation of the
people.

MARRIAGE OF
POPULAR COUPLE:
William I. Clark Chooses One
of Idaho Springs Prettiest
Girls for His Bride; Wedding
Ceremony Simple But Very
Impressive; The Young Cou-
pie Expect to Live in Denver.


Unattended and witnessed by
only the immediate relatives and
friends, yet one OF the most i'm.
portant weddings Of the season,
was that of Mss Verda Rowse and
William I. Clark, which took place
at the home Of the bride on Colo
RADIO street Sunday afternoon, Sept.
Is, at one o'clock, Rev. Recter W.
johnson officiating The impor-
tance of the wedding was due to
the decided popularity of the
young couple and the fact that
the marriage had been expected
for some time. Asters and dab
las, banked high in a corner of
the parlor, made pleasing setting
for the bridal party as the sacred
rites were said, and added to the
attractiveness Of the bride, who
wore suit of blue tricotine
Following the ceremony a sump-
tuous wedding feast, including A
huge cake beautifully decorated,
was served. covers being laid for
the bride and groom, Rev. and
Mrs. Johnson, Edmund Rowse
Howard Rowse, Marian and Isabel
Rowse. Mr.. and Mrs. Jeff Clark,
Miss Lonisa Theobald. nnd Miss
Adessa Bates.
Mrs. Clark is one of Idaho
Springs fairest and most highly
respected members of the younger
set, and having been left without q
mother at tender age, has been
wonderful in her home life, taking
full charge of the household duties
and caring. as few young girls
could, for her two younger sisters.
Much credit is due her for her
efforts, and Mr.. Clark has shown
good, sound judgment in choosing
his life partner She was born and
raised in Idaho Springs and was a
senior in high school last year, but
never completed the course. It is
seldom one sees beauty and useful
ness com bined in one person, but
Mrs. Clark has been blessed with
both. She is the daughter OF Ed
mund Rowse.
The groom is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jeff CLARK of this city. and is
young man of sterling quality.
Having a most pleasing personal
ity, he makes friends readily and
keeps them. Until the last two or
three months he was employed
with the Gem Mining company in
the Offices here, but later went to
Denver and is now doing clerical
work in the Offices of one of the
railroad companies. He is a splen-
did young man, and is deserving of
a successful life.
Sunday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark went to Denver by auto and
will spend two weeks or SO there
before settling down. They will
perhaps make their home in Den
yer.
The Siftings.News joins most
heartily in extending best wishes
to this popular couple.

SEVERAL MINING
DEALS PENDING
Bright Outlook for the Winter; !;
the Sternberger and Lotus
Mines May Be Taken Over;
the Gem Soon to Be Back to
Its Old Time Condition as a
Producer and Aid to Leasers.

For the past few weeks there
have been all kinds of rumors in
circulation regarding mining con-
ditions here and the proposed re-
sumption of work on several old
properties, but SO far we have been
unable TO confirm any of the re-
ports from reliable sources. While
it is well known that several deals
are pending along these lines, there
has been nothing of tangible ma
ture appeared on the surface yet.
One of the largest deals in prog
ress is that of taking over the
Sternberger holdings on Fall river
and the Lotns group in Gilpin
county. If the parties who are
putting this deal thru are success
| full in their undertaking it will
mean much for Idaho Springs, as
The properties included in the deal
cover large territory and there
must be very valua BILE ore bodies
in some of the claims.
Another deal is that Of the Little
Matte mine. just how far this
has advanced we have no reliable
inn ormation, but we do know that
the Matte group is one Of the best
properties in the district and should
be made one of the best paying
mines in the county. The mine is
well equipped with hoisting plant
and mill and the ore is far above
the average grade of ore mined in
this end of the county.
Preparations are also being made
for the resumption of work on the
Yukon property at Alice. w. @.
Bickford. president OF this COM
pany, was here few weeks ago
and stated that he expected to have
the mine in operation by the first
of October Mr.. Bickford is due
here within the next few days. and
when he arrives, work will no dou ht
be started.
1t is also reported that the Black
Eagle property has been financed
with sufficient capital to do large
amount of development, which if
done will result in the opening of
a large bedv of good ore.
The Gem mine will within the
next month be back TO its old time
condition and the usual force of
day pay men at work. Also na-
nerous leasers, as the Gem has
long been the old standby for leas-
ers In this city.
