The
power of the Internet
William A. Shaffer grew up in Troy, Ill. His father was involved in
coal mining, and William himself grew up to be a part-time professional
photographer and did work for newspapers in the Troy area. In the
early 1970s he was passing through Lincoln and spied this old coal
mine. The structures intrigued Shaffer as a photographer and interested him
as the son of a miner, so he snapped these shots. Last week, 40 years later, he came across the pictures, went searching on the
Internet for
Lincoln newspapers and found Lincoln Daily News. When he emailed the
photos to
us, he said he wasn’t sure what kind of reception he would get from a
local paper, but he wanted to try to share them with our community. He
also said that through the years, these have been some of his favorite
shots. Thank you, William, for sharing them with LDN and now with our readers.

A
jogger runs
with two
dogs in the
snow along
the north
side of
Lakeshore
Drive in
Chicago on
Friday.
The 1.1
inches that
settled on
Windy City
streets and
sidewalks
marked the
latest first
seasonal
snowfall of
at least an
inch in the
Midwest
metropolis
since at
least 1884,
when records
were first
kept,
National
Weather
Service
forecaster
Matt Friedlein
said. The
previous
record was
set on Jan.
17, 1899.
Friday also
broke
Chicago's
longest
streak of
consecutive
days without
an inch of
snow. The
city went
335 days, or
about 11
months,
without at
least an
inch,
Friedlein
said.

A photo marked
"not to be published" that shows a teenage Diana Spencer before
she became Princess of Wales has been sold by a New Hampshire
auction house for more than $18,000.
The photograph shows a group of friends relaxing during a ski
trip, with Diana reclining on a bed, a young man seated
behind her and a bottle of whiskey on the window sill. It was
acquired by a British newspaper just after her engagement Prince
Charles, but someone at the paper wrote "not to be published"
across it, presumably because it would've embarrassed the royal
family.
RR Auction in Amherst, N.H., says the photo sold in the online
auction Thursday to a real estate investor from San Diego for
$18,306, well above early estimates.
