Taxes Lowered In colorado,

Denver.-The first real evidence Of
tendency on the part Of government
al authorities to heed the demand for
lower taxes in Colorado is to be found
in property taxes assessed for all pur-
poses for 1922, to be collected in 1928,
as shown by the records of the State
Tax Commission, based on the reports
Of county assessors and county treas
urers. The reports show an actual de-
crease in the total amount of taxes to
be collected in 1923 as compared with
1922. This is the firstt ime decrease
has been shown since 1916, when the
total amount Of taxes collected was
about 100000 less than for the pre-
ceding year. Total taxes collected that
year, however, were but $20,538,O 900,
compared with more than $42,OOO,OOO
to be collected this year.

D. q r. G. w. WILL SPEND $4,000, 900
FOR NEW EQUIPMENT

Denver.-Recent disclosures have
brought to light the fact that Federal
Judge j. Foster Symes has authorized
the receiver of the d. & r. g. w. Rail-
road Company to expend for road i'm
provements of various kinds, almost
$12,00O,O0O. This amount of money
takes into cognizance the fact that
there has been expended from July 81,
1922, up to March 1. 1923, over one and
one-half millions of dollars and the bal
ance is included in new equipment Or
dered. Fifty new four and six-roOm
cottages for employees ut Soldier Sum
NIT, Utah; 160 miles of narrow gauge
lines in Colorado will be relaid, with
70-pound rails; forty-five miles of the
main line will also be relaid with heavy
rails. Extensive improvement in yard
tracks at Pueblo, Walsenburg, Salida,
Grand Junction, Colo, are in the pro-
gram, together with large extensions
regarding passing tracks and industry
tracks in various points in The state.
The enlargement and improvement of
shop terminals at principal points, In
Guiding new and modern tools and ma
chinery Is another item ON the bill, to-
gether with improvements and rebuild
ing of steel and wooden bridges, and
the rebuilding of existing equipment,
including locomotives and freight cars,
and last but not least Is large sum
donated, and orders placed for the pur-
chase of twenty mountain type pas
senger and freight locomotives, and
ten heavy AIallet type helper locomo-
tIves, ten Mikado narrow gauge loco
motives, 800 new stock cars Of forty
ton capacity, and 100 new narrow
gauge stock cars. The locomotives,
both passenger and freight, and stock
cars are to be delivered Aug. 1, 1923.
This will go to the entire territory in
the state Of Colorado through which
the D. & r. G. w. travels, and Of
course will be wonderful help toward
the handling Of passenger and freight
service in all those localities. Perhaps
the greatest real assistance from this
large expenditure is the fact that 1t
will give the western slope an oppor-
tunity to ship their crops Of fruit and
vegetables this fall without such loss,
because Of lack of freight cars, as has
been experienced in the last few years.

discovered by Carter. The diagram below shows
the location Of these two tombs In the Valley Of
the Kings. The mummy is that Of Sethos ], a pow
erful Pharaoh Of the nineteenth dynasty (1328-
1908 B. c.. This mummy Is in the museum at
Cairo Tut-Ankh-Amen's mummy, II found, will
look much like It.
The photograph at the lower right is part Of
what the excavators saw directly in front Of them
when they broke through the door of the first
chamber. The spotted animal Is a COW Of gilt In
laid with ebony, one Of the supports Of royal
ceremonial couch Its head is emblematic of Hat
hor. the cow-headed goddess Piled up under this
couch are boxes containing mummifed food.
To the right is seen the foot of another couch.
the supports of which are lions The big box in
front of 1t contains the kings underwear To the
left is the head Of third couch, the supports be-
Ing a NEUROLOGICAL animal of the underworld. Upon
this couch Is large wooden casket, with white
panels. bearing the cartouches Of the names of the
king and queen. Under this couch Is the kings
chair throne.
Under the same couch is an ancient breach
through the sealed doorway of annex to this
first chamber. Through this can be seen masses
Of objects stacked up five feet high.
The four aabaster vases shown are piled up at
the head of the Hat-hor couch. They are Of de-
sign never before found.
These articles are but part of those In this cham
ber. There is apparently everything that king
could use from silver boomerang for hunting to
chariots and personal jewelry. In the northeast
and northwest corners are two enormous portrait
statues Of Tut-Ankh-Amen.
Here Is a mind's-eye diagram Of Tut-Ankh-
Amen's tomb, so far as 1t has been opened up:
The tomb Is in the form Of 7, with the entrance
at the small end, facing east First twenty steps
down. Next an east and west passage 80 feet long.
Next north and south room. 21 by Is feet and 0
feet high. At the south end Is second room, not
yet opened At the north end Is the room contain
ing the catafalque believed to hold the mummy.
on this last room is another. without door, full
Of miscellaneous articles, including works Of art.
The catafalQue. on which the attention Of the
archaeological world Is centered, gives every EVIL
dence Of containing the mummy Of Tut-Ankh-
Amen It is 18 feet by 12 and 12 feet high It
practically fills the chamber. The outer case Is
apparently cedar, eaborately ornamented both out
side and inside; only Egyptologist can describe
It. Heavy doors, which oren few inches, disclose
second case, equally elaborate. which Is sealed.
Between the two cases is mass Of jewelry, prin-
cipally scarabs. section of the wall will have to
be demolished to remove the several cases.
Perspective of Egyptian history: 1t should be
remembered that Egypt was old in Tut-Ankh-
Amen's time. Its continuous civilization dates
from about 5000 b. c. and Its written record begins
about 5000 b. c.. The Sphinx, hewn from the liv-
Ing rock for purpose not yet settled, is believed
to be older than the pyramids. which were built

Howard Carter is an American who went to
Egypt thirty years ago to paint In water colors.
He did work for the Egyptian Exploration fund
and achieved large reputation as an archeoogi-
cal draughtsman. He was made government In
srector Of antiquities for Upper Egypt. The late
Theodore NJ. Davis of Boston obtained a concession
In 1901 and Carter took charge Of exploration.
Davis at first very successful. Later his luck
changed and Lord Carnarvon took over his c0nces-
sion in 1914. During the war Carter was in the
British Intelligence service. This Ia Carter's first
big find for Carnarvon, who got discouraged more
