One OF the Delta projectors of the Iron
ton Telluride tunnel scheme has started
for Scotland, where he will try to interest
the people in the project. 1t is big
scheme and We should like very much to
see it materialize. for it would give en-
ployment to seversl hundred men. and
SINE big gold aud silver veins and ore
bodies would unquestionsbly be tapped.
-Ouray Plaindealer.
1t is rumored in Telluride that spec.
cial train will be sent in here shortly

privileges are afforded by these meetings.
We have with us two evangelists Of age,
experience and suecess-and they are
competent under God, to lead the people
into pastures green, and into fields Of
richer soul life and usefulness. Every
body come.
