Greatest "Bore'' Of the Age-The NOR
ster Projected Tunnel.


For some time past the Territorial
pspsrs have contained brief refer
eUcss to 8 proposed tunnel, which
vas to be Carried through the Rocky
Mountains, from q point near Black
Hawk, and coming out in Middle
Park. These items were rehgiously
copied by the Eastern press, but the
story sounded Munchsusenish, and
people in general were 10th to believe
in the mammoth enterprise.
Now, however, it is known that
the project has been fully insugu-
rated, and that its protector is on the
ground, with ample means and labor
to prosecute the work to completion.
From the Black Hawk Journal we
obtain the following particulars re-
garding the proposed work:
'"rhe tunnel will be about twelve
miles long. Its greatest depth will
be 6,000 feet, at James Peak. 1t
will make Middle Park readily scces-
sible from the eastern portion Of the
Territory; will show what is the
mineral and geological character Of
this section, and will tolerably exten-
sively advertise the country as the
scene OF an enterprise twice as large
and hundred times as important as
the Mount Gents tunnel. Col. Heaton
will use the diamond-pointed drills,
and thus not be obliged to keep
IN operation numerous blacksmith
shops. They will be driven by ma
chinery. And it is expected that the
tunnel will progress az the rate OF five
feet per hour, or sixty feet por day
Early next year the work will com
mence from Middle Park.
"Already considerable work has
been done. The mountain has been
graded down for the face of the tun-
mel ; a flume l 800 feet long has been
built from the creek by which q fsll
of 25 feet is obtained for the purpose
Of turning an over-shot wheel, by
means of which the tunnel is to be
supplied with sir +; strong levee has
been built to prevent the waters of
the creek from OVERLOOKING and en-
barrassing operations in the tunnel
large clearinghouse, 60x25 feet,
and two stories high, has been built
substantial bridge has also been
built over the creek on the road lead.
ing to the Make Gulch country.
"The objects Of the tunnel are to
afford means of working the dis
covered mines rapidly and eheaply,
to discover and open new veins, and |
to afford a track for a railway. 1t
will strike the Bobtail first Of known |
mines, and 100 feet below the present |
tunnel.
"The effects of the success of this
enterprise can hardly be estimated.
1t may cause to pass through our
section and under our mountains all,
or nearly all, the trans-contineDtsl
travel.
"The company, by name the Sierra
Madre Tunnel Company OF Colorado,
have ample capital, and will push
the project rapidly to completion.
Though the enterprise is OF such
as to dazzle the imagin-
alton and to stagger and bewilder
the Judgment, yet, if the mining re-
sources of the country are what we
all believe them to be, it is not CHI
and is sure to be O source of
profit to the company and Of incalcu-
liable benefit to the Terrltory.-Dsn-

SUGGESTION To Horse BREEDRRs.-
The following is from an article in the
RHraI NeW Yorker There Is another
most essential condition of success
with all young stock, and particular
ly with colts, which is, that they should
be born as early as it can be contrived
Aor them TO come in the spring, as
strength and all the age which can be
gained tells wonderfully in their favor
through the winter Whoever goes
through the country at this season will
see colts rough and weak and even il
they call at the great breeders of trot-
ing and high priced animals, the poor
colts will be the worst looking objects
on the premises for, although much
attention has been paid, and good
food given, the appetites have failed,
or the food has not seemed TO tell.

BE Kind to Your Horse.

However often horse stumbles,
from any cause whatever, do not shout
at him, for the animal breads to be
chided. Do not shake the reins, for
his mouth is much more sensitive
than your lips are. Do not use the
whip, for the horse Is naturally so
timid that the moment you begin to
correct him, he becomes SO terrified
that he looses control of his own rea-
soning faculties, and in his wild terror
plunges, and resrs, and fails to obey
The right course to pursue is to speak
quietly but firmly to the creature
Comfort the trembling animal with
the magic of your voice, and bring
back those perceptions which help your
horse to guard against repesting the
act of stumbling. This manner o.
procedure is tar more human and
reasonable than to yell at the animal
and lash him fercely, thus frightening
and bewildering instead of teaching
him what is expected of hin.

BENEFIT OF TRADE Give your
sons trade. One man with-ao trade
is worth thousand without one. The
hosts OF young men in every large
city who apply for employment and
fail to get it, for the reason that
they can not truthfuIly affirm that they
are educated or especially fitted for
any particular business. constitute q
potent argument in favor. reform.
Under the apprentice system, We
should have lever ignorant mechanics
and incompetent business men. A
trade is fortune in itself.
