armed at the time, but the above is the
most reliable account. Crary was
brought here and lodged in Jail.

TUNNELIlNG tbs ROCKIES. scheme
is now on foot for running tunnel
through the Rocky Mountains. This
may seem a prohgious enterprise at first
TO thu casual reader, but the parties who
have the matter in hand are sanguine of
the most complete success. For some
time past gentlemen have been investi-
eating this matter, and they have arrived
at the conclusion that tn project Is
feasible in every particular. The idea is
to tunnel the mountain from a point
about one mile below Black Hawk TO the
Middle Park, running in a northwesterly
direction. The tunnel to be run will, II
is presumed, cut many rich veins of gold
and silver, and thus a great mining in
terest win be developed. Money for the
prosecution of the work is furnished by
English capitalists, who are sanguine OF
the ultimate success Of the enterprise.
Some idea OF the magnitude Of the task
may be gathered from the fact that the
tunnel, if completed, will be twelve
miles in length. 1t is intended to make
it large enough to be used for railway
purposes, and so, il road is ever to be
constructed to the Middle Park, it will
find its most convenient route through
the tunnel Denver News.
