A Colorado Tunnel.

A gigantic tunnel which is estimated
to cost $3.50, 600 and require ten years
to finish, is being constructed in the
Leadville mining district for the pur-
pose of draining the mines. 1t will
be at least five miles long. and will,
when completed, leave to easy access
millions of tons of good ore that can
not now be gotten at and probably
never could be handled without the
use of proper drainage.

CHEROKEES AGREE TO SELL.
The Government Commission Offers to Pay
Over Eight and a Half Millions for the Strip.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Dec. ia special to
the Times from Tahlequah. /. T.. says: After
more than two years of negotiations and
four visits of the Cherokee commission to
Tahlequah, an agreement to-day was final
ly consummated whereby the Cherokees
agreed to part with their title to the
strip, and only the action of the United
States is needed to make it public land. The
price finally agreed upon is s.595. .736. 1914.
The two commissions decided upon the
terms of the agreement this afternoon and
it Will be Immediately submitted to the
National Council for ratification. 1t must
then be ratified by the Congress of the
United States and all rights, title and
interest will then be relinquished by the
Cherokee nation.
The United States commission arrived at
TahleQuah Nov. 10 and Immediately q COM
mission was appointed by the Cherokee
Council to confer with it. Daily sessions
of the commission have been hold since
that time. Every grievance Of the
Cherokee nation was discussed aud all was
provided for before the price of the land
was considered. The collateral questions
were all aettled week ago and by them
the Cherokees are secured in their home
tract from the annoyances that they have
heretofore suffered. By the first article of
agreement the United States agrees to re-
move all persons within the whole tract of
the Cherokee nation W ho are recognized to
be unauthorized persons within the intent
and meaning of the treaties heretofore
made by an act OF Congress enacted IN
pursuance thereof. By the second article
the Cherokee nation is secured In it's
whether natives or adopted. BY the third
article the fifteenth article of the treaty of
July 10, 1896, by which other Indians can
be located upon the home tract, is abro-
gated. The fourth article provides
that the United States shall render
an account of all money due
the Cherokee nation under all the
treaties from 1915 to 1868. and if such ac-
counting shall be incorrect OF unjust then
the Cherokee nation may bring suit in the
Court of Claims for any alleged or declared
amount OF money due them aud uniustly
adjusted In such accounting. The fifth
article provides that those Cherokees now
residents upon the strip may take eighty
acres of land each, which shall cover their
improvements.
By the terms of the agreement the Cbero-
KEGS relinguish not only the strip, but all
claims or interests OF any kind or che racter
they may have in the land lying west of the
nInety-slxth degree. which we're conveyed
by them to the Osages. Poncas. OtOes. Mis-
souris and Nez Perces, though, as far as the
Cherokee nation Is concerned, it has re-
linquisbed all its claims to these lands
which under the patent were set apart to
that nation as an outlet.

Senator Plumb was born in Delaware

in his fifty fourth year at the time of his
death. He was not a college graduate. but
left the common school for the printers

journeyman printer. in 1856, In the bloody
days of the historic and newly organized
Territory OF Kansas, walked into that Ter
ritory, and with vgor and indefatigable
energy which has, throughout his life, been
his chief characteristics. the young man
plunged at once into the thick OF the
hot political strife. which was then
waging over the slavery question. lie at
once went TO the front, and was chosen a
member of the Leavenworth constitutional
convention of 1859 He was admitted to
the bar in 1861, when the place of his adop-
tion became a State of the Union; served in
the Legislature IN 1S6-: was chairman of
the judiciary committee, and subsequently
Reporter of the Supreme Court. When the
war broke out he entered the army as sec
Ond lieutenant In the Eleventh Kansas In
fanny, and served successively as captain,
major and heutenant-cOloDel of that Tegi-
ment. and was commissioned colonel of
the same regiment IN August, 1872.
After the war MIR. Plumb, returning to
Kansas, was elected n member and Speaker

and in 1876 was chosen United Senator TO
succeed James NJ. Harvey. Republican. He
took his seat in 1877. and has represented
his State as Senator ever 81 nee that time.
His term of office would have expired
March 3, 1895.
Undoubtedly Senator Plumb has sue
ceeded in stamping his strong Individual
ity upon the legislative history of the
United States in more permanent character
than have the majority of his colleagues.
He was n man of most positive views. but
always had a keen appreciation of the line
of separation between the impracticabe
and the expedlent. His devotion TO Repub-
lican principles was beyond question. but
he never besitated TO point ont what be
regarded as mistakes in the policy outlined
by the party leaders and to use his best
efforts To correct them, He was peculiarly

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Richard Mans
field has issued instructions to his manager
TO discontinue the use of Autographs and
printing of all kinds for use in windows
and on walls. and to confne all advertising
exclusively to the newspapers. Hell firmly
convinced that this is the only proper way
to reach all Glasses of theater- goers. Says
Mr.. Mansfield:
The influence and tremendous power of
the press as an advertising medium is
making itself felt more and more every
day, both IN business aud theatrical circles.
A man who does not read the newspapers
never attends the theater. The weekly ex-
penditure for printing, at low average,
Is $50. which makes for season of forty
weeks 5000. In event of 100 com panies
adopting my system. which is a small ratio
of the number OF companies on the road. it
would give to the newspapers throughout
the country yearly revenue of S60O, 0O0,
which l am satisfied would bring greater
and more satisfactory results both to the
theater-going public and the attractions"
