A Mighty Enterprise.
Proposed Tunnel Through the Rocky
Mountains.

lFrom the Denver COLI Rocky Mountain News.l
A scheme is now on foot for running
tunnel through the Rocky Mountains. This
may seem prodigious enterprise at first TO
the casual reader, but the parties who nave
the matter in hand are sansuinc of the most
complete success. The idea is to tunnel the
mountains from point about one mile be-
low Black Hawk TO the Middle Park. run
ming in northwesterly direction. The tuil-
mel TO be run will, it is presumed, cut many
rich veins of gold and silver, and thus a
great mining interest viii be developed. Money
for the prosecution Of the work IL furnished
by English capitalists. who are sanguine OF
the ultimate sitecess OF the enterprise. Some
idea of the magnitude of the task may be
gathered from the fact that the tunnel, II
completed, will be twelve miles in Length
1t is intended to make it large enough 70 be
used for railway purposes, and so, if road
IS ever 10 pe constructed to the Middle Park,
it will find its most convenient route through
the tunnel. 1t Will be called the Sierra
Madre Tunnel Company. and the ineorpo-
ration papers for its organization have al
ready been filed. a

DIR. Gardner has not gone to

He will take with him an arsenal,
consisting of two revolvers, a bowie
knife, sword-cane, and ammunition.
His delay was occasioned by his de-
sire to become a little more perfect in
the handling of these dangerous
weapons, before he attacked the Lone
Star State.

Omaha.

Proceeding southwest to Corinne,
it veered round and came East nearly
to Cheyenne; thence it struck off
south and visited Denver; thence
northeast to a point near the Mis-
souri, river, where it turned round to
the northwest and arrived in Omaha
pell-mell, at the rate of thirty>fve
miles an hour. The wind and snow
here blew from all directions
not knowing which way to turn, until
finally a little additional blowout
was sent down frsm Fort Benton on
u northwest, which collected the
four winds and turned them to the
southwest.
The thermometer ut the Signal
Service Office indicated 80 above at 6
o'clock, and only ii above at II A. NJ.
The Eastern trains all came in on
time this morning, but the Union
Pacific train from the West was two
hours and q half late.
The o. & S. w. train from Lincoln
Mt $50 this afternoon is stuck in a
snow-drift at Newton.
Taken altogether it is the liveliest
blowout of the season, and this has
been the most wintry day that we
have had.

steiner Heard From.

Our citizens well recollect Steiner,
the nronaut who made a balloon as
cension in this city last Fourth of
July. lie is now in Milwaukee, Wis
c~onsin, where, as the Chicago Times
informs us, che proposes to launch a
machine in the ethereal vault which
will tack to right angles with the
wind. lie kindly offers to allow
Milwaukee the pleasure o fseeing him
and his machine, on condition that
tho chamber of commerce of that
town will raise q thousand. dollars to
defray his expenses ofthe experiment.
We would not advise any amateur
erOnaut to waste any time or money
on this fellow, who is, like all the
rest of the balloonists who have ap-
peared in these parts recently, an ir-
responsible adventurer ranking along
side with the circus sidc-show pro-
p%rietors in his devotion to or know
ledge of science.

MASQUERADEsBALL
A Gay and Festive Scene.

The grand masquerade ball of the
Concordia Singing Society, for which
preparations had been made for some
time past, came off last evening at
Turner Hall. At an early hour In
the evening the galleries and every
available inch of space outside of the
ballroom, were occupied by specta-
tors, among whom were many OF
Omah,'s most prominent citizens,
who came to witness the fun.
The ballroom was deliberately and
tastefully decorated for the occasion,
none but maskers being admitted to
il.
The opening dance was performed
by n troupe of seven genuine Pawnec
Indians, introduced by Julius Meyer.
They created a great deal of interest,
and their performance was one of the
best entertainments of the evening.
The ballroom floor was well filled
by maskers, who danced to the de-
lightful music furnished by the Oma-
ha City Band. Among the many
characters represented were Queen
Elizabeth, Marie Antoinette, Maid of
Orleans, Daughter of the Regiment,
Queen of Night, fisher girls, ladies of
the olden time, washer-women, Star
of the Night, negresses, &c.
The most prominent gentlemen
characters were Emperor Wilhelm,
Louis PHILIPPE, Africanus, Red Cloud,
Won Moltke, a down-east Yankee,
counts, knights, Italians, Spaniards,
Ministries, his Satanic Majesty, and
"Big Heart" an Indian, and an inti-
mate friend to the members of the
press, who took occasion to interview
him.
The costumes of all were richly
gotten up, and were very appropri-
ate for the characters represented.
The fantastic throng of dancers,
who moved about the room, some
gracefully, Others clumsily, as occas>
ion demanded, formed a varied and
exciting scene, which delighted the
interested spectators, who enjoyed
the merrinent of the masquerade to
the fullest extent. Attwelve o'clock
Prince Carnival and Columbine made
their grand entree, and Joined in the
march. Unmasking then!followed and
supper was served; after which the
dance was resumed, and continued
till five o'clock this morning. Never
was there a merrier assemblege coll
lected within the walls of Turner
Hall, and in every respect the Con-
cordia masquerade may be pronounced
q most brilliant success.

HOW HIGH IS THIS FOR
All About the Storm.

Last evening about s o'clock the
weather changed suddenly, and snow
began falling gently, and continued
till an early hour this morning, when
the storm increased, and the wind
sprang up, blowing a perfect gale,
drifting the snow in clouds hither
and thither. Drifts soon piled up,
and the snow came thicker and faster,
as the fury ofthe wind became greater.
Never before did we start out for
local items under NOSE discouraging
circumstances. But q few men could
be seen upon the streets, and those
only when we happened to run up
against them, and have our eyes
opened by the shock of the collision.
In half the places we visited, we
found the proprietors sitting on the
counters playing seven-up with their
employees for the drinks and cigars.
Giving up all hopes of picking up
any startling news, we concluded to
write up the weather, and according
ly interviewed Barton of the Signal
Service Office. From him We learned
that the storm started from Fort
Benton, last evening, and swung
around the circle as indicated by the
following diagram:
