last Friday from the east, where
he had been looking into the mine
financing proposition. He said to
a representative of the Slftings-
News. that he is better satisfied this
time than any time that he has
been east in attempting to raise
money, and that he had five large
financial corporations ask him to
secure mining propositions for
them. They believe, and he be-
lieves, that mining will be the in
dustry of the country, and that
all of the mining camps are bound
to pick up soon.

property, located about two miles

LOCAL COMMITTEE
PROTESTS CUT
IN RAIL SERVICE
The Idaho Springs Committee
Presents Its Protest Against
the Curtailment of Train Ser
vice on the Colorado & South
ern Railroad; Decision Ex-
pected Some Time In May.

Objection was made before the
Colorado utilities commission on
Monday and Tuesday y IL -
Ut the Gear Creek mining district
to proposed reduction in passen-
ger service on the Colorado &
Southern railroad.
The railroad petitioned the CON-
mission for permission to reduce
passenger service to one train a
day. AT present two trains each
way between Denver and Silver
Plume are operated over the road
Under the proposed arrangement
the one train would leave Silver
Plume at $40 am, arriving in
Denver at l1:50 a. m. On the
return to Silver Plume the train
would leave Denver at 2:l5 p. m.
and reach its terminus at 5:25 p. m.
By this schedule, Superintendent
E. e. Mitchell testified, the COM
pany could save $500 per month.
Under the present schedule the
trains leave Denver at $40 a IN.
and 3:15 p. m., and in turn leave
Silver Plume at $40 a, m. and
2:05 p. IN.
Superintendent Mitchell pre-
sented figures to show that the
road lost on this division in 1919
the sum of SlO7, 600 and $4,000
in 1920.
He said the population of the
towns along the line, particularly
Silver Plume, Georgetown and
Central City, had materially de-
creased since August of last year
on account of the slump in the
metal mining industry.
1t was protested by citizens of
this district that one passenger
train per day would not adequately
serve the needs Of the travelling
public.
The Idaho Springs committee
also pointed out that the time
between trains in Denver was SO
limited that it would necessitate
a two-day layover in Denver in
order to transact any sort of bust
ness with local merchants.
Among those who protested the
change were Mayor E NJ. Mos
cript, W. A. Roberts, Fl & Maehol,
w. J. Woodward and J, W. B.
Smith of Idaho Springs, and Fred
P. Dewey of Georgetown.

Metal Miners Are
Commenting JayneS

The work of Charles L. Jaynes
of this county in the legislature
has been praised by many organi-
cations in the mountain region.
but the most gratifying evidence
of appreciation of his efforts is
found in a communication thanking
him for the work done by him in
behalf of the metal mining indus
try. Tuesday Mr.. Jaynes received
the following letter from NJ. B.
Tomblin. secretary of the Colorado
Metal Mining association. and the
same speaks for itself. 1t shows
how this important organization
feels towards Mr.. Jaynes for his
services in its behalf:
Ny Dear Mr. Jaynes: am directed
by the executive committee of the Colo
RADIO Metal Mining association to express
the thanks Of the organization and its
members for the effective CO operation
and service you have rendered during
the session of the twenty third general
assembly. In legislation affecting the
metal mining industry, the association
has always found yon eager to render
al possible aid to beneficial legislation
and prompt to oppose anything harm
full.
Particularly are the mining men of
the state indebted to you for the out
standing and effective fight you made
against the senate blue sky bill, the en-
actment of which would have seriously
retarded the rehabilitation of the min.
ing industry in Colorado.
Personally expressing my thanks for
the many courtesiss / received from
your hands during the session, and with
best. wishes ~ Tho future, remain. 70.

THE CoRONER'S
JURY INDICATES
WALTER (. BEHR
Bad Character Killed Wednes-
day Night; Got What Was
Coming to Him; Trial In Dis
trict Court Will Bring Out
SOM . Damaging Evidence.

At the coroner's inquest held
over the body of Thomas Adams
last Saturday, at the city hall, the
jury returned verdict of jnsti6ca
tion. The .9ury was composed of
Ell. Deis, D. J. Donnelly, X. ].

Berry. and Geo. E, McClelland
While there has been some
criticism regarding the killing of
this man who saw fit to carry big
gun, dangerous knife, lot of
shells. bunch Of peculiar looking
keys. a bottle of dangerous looking
fluid, and a lot of other stuff that
no law abiding citizen would have
use for, one must wait until the
trial at the next mouths term of
court to learn the true character
and the dangerous disposition of
this man Adams, or Saugh, as he
was called
The writer is in a position to
know that there is much evidence
to come out that willopen the eyes
Of some people. This man Adams
was one of the most dangerous
-sssr who ever came to Idaho
Springs. and was one of the rot
tenest fellows who ever came to
the district. He was SO rotten
that it had affected his mind to the
extent that he was a moral and
ehysical degenerate.
we are going to make the pre-
diction that after Walter E. Behr
has been acquitted next month
that he will be publicly thanked.
While Mr.. Behr has not been put
in an enviable position, we want
to say that he has done the
community a great favor by re-
moving this fellow.
Withhold criticism until you
have heard the true story of this
character that has been removed
by death, and let the truth govern
your decision as to whether the
killing was justfable. Walter E.
Behr has not gone on the stand to
tell his story, but he will tell it
when the time comes. Other facts
will come out to prove what we
have said in this article.
The Siftings News is reluctant
to criticise a man after he is dead,
but we are just as unwilling to
criticise a living man when he
does his duty. The safety of the
people of the community was at
stake when Walter Behr shot
Thomas Adams, a man who was
more dangerous than has yet been
made known, and that is the reason
for the attitude of this paper in
regard to the shooting of this bad
man.
The verdict Of the coroner's jury
does not acquit Behr and he must
stand trial in the district court,

FORD'SSTORE IS
BROKEN into
Luny Man Breaks Into Fords's
Store Thru Glass in Front
Door, but Sees Dog and Makes
Flying Exit; Is Caught and
Taken To Denver.

Taken To Denver.
Idaho Springs is having her
share of excitement of late, and in
addition to the thrilling events
which have taken place, a robber
broke into Ford's grocery, evident
ly having entered thru a securely
locked door, by breaking in the
glass-anyway, there are witness
es to the fact that he made his exit
thru the glass.
About one O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing, Mabel Hoffman and Jewel
Ragland, who were sleeping in the
formers room, which is across
from the Ford store, were attract
ed by loud crash, and Immediate
ly got up and looked out the win
dow to ascertain the cause. Their
first view was the leg Of man
stuck out of the door, which was
soon followed by the man himself.
He wore a dark brown overcoat,
as we'll as the girls could make
out from the electric light, and he
was bare headed. which exposed
a dark head of hair surrounding a
good sized bald spot at the back
of his head. He was very tall and
slender, and when he got out of
the store. he stopped long enough
to adjust his clothing. gave has
ty glance thru the window, and
after looking around to see if be
we're seen, walked leisurely west.
rhe dog in the store then began
to bark, and it was probably the
sight of the dog that caused the
man to change his mind, and not
loot the store, as Mr.. Ford reports
that, as far as he knew, nothing
was touched.
This same description answers
that of the man whom City Marshal
Ives was chasing over town the
same night. and whom he finally
caught He had been to the home
of Mrs. Ora Shaffer, and various
places, and while he did nothing
desperate, he succeeded in alarming
the residents of the city by knock.
ing at their doors.
The man had been at the Hot
Springs hotel, and had someway
gotten away from DR.. F. H. Weber,
who had seen that the fellow was
"luny", and b d contemplated
taking him to Denver the next
day. SO, accompanied by DR..
Weber and w. A. Keelor, the man
was speedily taken to Denver by
auto on Tuesday morning, and
while the community is rid of this
man and would -robber, the
people are wondering what will
happen next

DUMONT MINING
DISTRICT SHOWS
new ACTIVITIES
Albro Extension Mining and
Milling Company Expects to
Be Large Shipper of Ore In
Near Future; Several Service
Tunnels Are Being Driven.

Dumont, Colo, April l3.-The
Albro Extension Mining and Mill
ing Company is working their
property on Albro mountain which
is an extension of the we'll known
Albro Mine with production of
about 81 900, 900, and is still pro-
ducing. Many of the leading mines
in this district are either shipping
or getting ready to ship.
As soon as transportation is
provided for, which will be upon
the completion of tramway from
the mine to the road, the Albro
Extension Mining & Milling COM
pany expects 10 be one of the lar
gest shippers in this district. The
company is the owner of what is
known as the Heliotrope mine
which has an excellent showing
for the amount of development
work done on it. The principal
values contained in the ore is silver.
Ore taken from one of the tunnels
shows values as follows:

In addition to the ore in sight
in the different tunnels there is ap-
proximately 400 tons on the dumps
which has been hand sorted and
the high grade sent to market. 1t
is estimated that the general aver
age OF the ore in the dumps will
be $40 per ton, although some of
the samples therefrom show values
as high as $3.50 per ton.
There is great deal of activity
in this district, thousands of dol
lars are being expended in open
ing up the various properties;
these numerous undertakings prove
that experienced mining men bs ck-
ed by capital know the possibilities
of this field and are slowly but
surely bringing it to stage of de.
velopmeut that will insure them a
handsome return for the term and
money invested.
The Dumont district has many
natural advantages from mining
stand point seldom enJoved by the
average mining district, it having
splendid roads, climate that will
permit operation the year around,
plenty of water for mining and
milling. purposes and cheap trans
portatiun from the mines to mar
ket. There are number of SER
vice tunnels being driven which
when completed will add greatly
to the value of the different prop
critics in the district as they will
reduce the cost transportation to
a point where very low grade ore
can be handled at profit.
Viewed from any angle this pro-
gressive camp, without a doubt
will take it's place among the lead
ers of the mining districts of Colo
rado.

Unlettered Presidents.
From His Home Paper

At least one OF our Presidents, pos
sibly two, never went TO any kind Of
school. The father of Andrew John
son died when the lad was five years
old, and his mother could not spare
the money to educate him. This con-
dition of poverty caused Andrew to
be apprenticed to tailor. He worked
long hours and hard. One day
man brought book to the shop and
recited many selections that 1t con-
tanned. Andrews ambition was stirred.
With the mans help he learned the
alphabet. But he made no real prog
ress until his marriage. His wife read
TO him as he piled the needle. She
helped him to learn to read and write.
She was his school. Largely through
her careful, patient instruction be was
enabled to become the mayor OF the
town In which they lived.

From His Home Paper
The Jessamine Journal has the fol-
lowing concerning the candidacy of
Mr.. Baxter, which will be read with
interest here, as indicating how he is
regarded in his home town where
every man is best known. The
Journal says:
William ]. Baxter, county attor-
ney of Jessamine county, has an
nounced his candidacy for Common
wealth's Attorney of the 25th dis
trict, composed of the counties of
.iessamine, Madison, Clark and Pow
ell, subject to the action of the dem
,cratic primary, August 6, 1921. Mr..
Baxter was born in the Logana
neighborhood, this county, and was
reared and has lived all his life in
Jessamine. He attended school and
graduated from the Nicholasville pub
lie schools and holds a four-year
course, Bachelor of Arts, and year
course, Bachelor of Law, as degrees
at Kentucky State University. Up
on graduating in law he took prac-
tice in Nicholasville, and later was
elected county attorney to fill out the
unexpired term of the late W. M.
Watts, and later nominated and
elected for a full term without OPP
position. He has made an energetic,
careful, efficient official, and now
seeks an advancement which his
friends think he deserves. He has
all his life been interested in farm
ing and actively identified with every
thing in which the farmer is con-
cerned. His democracy is "all wool
and yard WIDE" There have been
but few campaigns since he attained
his majority that he has not lent a
helping hand, and his services have
always been in demand at party con-
/ ferences and during speaking cam
