A Rich s.rlk. in tn. E,k Mountain

Special TO the Denver Tribune. Republican.
GUNNIsoN. Colorado, November 12-
A short time sgo a rumor reached Gunnison
that "Old Man" Meagher, who has since 1880
been driving blind tunnel into a mountain
at point about half way between Crested
Butte and Irwin, had struck an immense body
OF rich ore. The old man was regarded as a
sort OF a hermit, and his vagaries had ceased
to attract very much attention, so the matter
was treated lightly.
A few days ago A. G. Cory, Alex. Myers and
Sandy Frazier, Of Irwin, were shown some Of
he mineral and invi ed to visit the tunnel,
which they did ut once. To say they were
surprised at the revela'i m would be express
ing but half the feeling which overc Ime them.
On reaching the end Of the tunnel body OF
ore five and one half feet had been ploughed
thr ough The ore is a rich silver glance, sui.
phuret and galena 1t runs from $500 to up
in the Thousands to the ton, and is the most
important strike ever made in the Elk Noun
tains. The old man has almost gone crazy
over the immeDtity Of his sudden wealth. The
towns OF Crested Butte and Irwin are equally
excited over 1t, sni prospecting in the vicinity
OF the tunnel in two feet Of snow Is now being
done by many men. The strike Is four miles
from the railroad with all the way down
grade.

AETER many hundred years Of wait
ing use has at last been discovered
for that musical instrument of torture
called the bagpipe. Last year a Spanish
soldier was brought to hospital in
Havana in state Of catalepsy and for
three weeks showed no sign Of return
ing consciousness. Electricity and the
other we'll known remedies had no ef-
feet, and at last the doctors ordered
the bagpipes to be played near the bed,
whereupon the man promptly recov-
cred consciousness. It would be inter-
estipg to know what his first remark
was, but we will wager 1t was not in
the form Of blessing. There is possibly

siderable length OF the river and insure the

posal annual appropriations OF not less than
one million dollars should be made for the

For conducting the survey OF the river and
for obtaining the data necessary for a proper
study Of the important interests in their

Politics OF the Future.

Out of something over ten millions of
voters, some $50 600 at the last election
east their ballots for the Prohibition candi
date Governor st. John. This does not.
however, represent the real feeling of the
community on the necessity of the nation
taking hand in restraining, ifnot abolish
ing, the sale of Intoxicating drinks. 1t is
a remarkable fact that wherever the single
issue of Prohibition and anti-Prohibiton
has been represented to the voters, the Pro
hibitionists have succeeded by overwhelm-
ing maioriteS. This was true of Maine,
Iowa and Kansas, the only three States in
which the naked issue was presented with
ont entanglements with party, personal or
local questions. 1t is admitted by the
shrewdest politicians that were total pro-
hibtion put to vote in Ohio, Michigan.
Wisconsin and Minnesota, it would be
sanctioned by the people of those States.
and at the rate at which the temperance
sentiment is growing, there is little doubt
OF its ultimate adoption by the whole ma
tion. But there are many impedimcnts in
the way of its advocates. The politicians
are all opposed to the agitation, and hence
the party machines, the regular organiza-
tions, do what they can in keeping it from
coming to the fore at election time. Then
the courts of the country have so far acted
in the liquor interest. They have partially
nulified the will of the people in Ohio
Iowa and Kansas. The liquor dealers, of
course, are very powerful; but with all
these drawbacks the horrors of the liquor
traffic are so obvious that the public senti-
ment against it is steadily deepening The
women of the country are on the side of
prohibition. Moral issues with our people
always win in the end. From Demorest's
