Ten Men Entrapped In Colorado Goldg;
Mine with no Hope Of Escape.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COL, Jan. 6.--The-i
Cripple Creek district has heen excep--
tlOnally free from serious mine acci-~
dents, but its reputation in this re-
spect received serious setback yester-
day by a cavern in the Anna Lee mine.
at Victor, belonging to the great Vor---
mand company. The last reports place
the number of men who are buried un---
der thousands of tons of rock at ten.
The Anna Lee mine is located near
the summit of Battle mountain sand is.
one of the finest equipped mines in the
state. Its working shaft, which is.
down 900 feet, is the deepest in the>
camp. The shaft is double compart---
ment one and vertical, from which
levels are driven every so feet to CUT
the immense ore chimney which lies
some distance from the shaft and has
an incline of about seven degrees.
Ten men. including General Mana
ger John Harnan and Assistant Supt
Sheldon, were caught in the cave-in..
and at this writing there does not seem
to be the remotest possibility that any
have escaped. Well posted miners saw
it will be miracle if any are taken.

THE SARATOGA COURSE FAVORED.
PROBABILITY THAT 1T WILL BE SELECTED
FOR THE COLLEGE REGATTA.

The latest developments in the contest over the
question as to- which course will be chosen for the
college regatta show that the Saratoga course is
gaining In favor and that it will probably be decided
to have the regatta take place on Saratoga Lake.
There seems to be much doubt as to the possibility
of obtaining a clear course at Poughkeepse. and
that was probably an important factor In making
many people who favored that place at first take
sides for Saratoga. The main opposition TO Sara
toga has come, up to this time from Columbia Uni
versity But 1.-The Columbia Spectator In Its
issue Of yesterday. to look upon the Saratoga
course as already selected. and 1t shows that the
Columbia opposition is waning. 1t says: Several
the daily papers recently have had articles con-
corning the selection OF the course that would lead
to think that Saratoga was as good as selected
the of the race next June In certain
respects the dailies IRE not far wrong Cornell has
certainly deserted Columbia and Poughkeepsie and
is now violently In favor Of Saratoga as she was
before OF Poughkeepse. What induced her to do
this only surmise. Harvard, however, is
probably the cause as she has all along been against
Poughkeepsie claiming 1t to be dangerous TO row on
such large stream She claims that the oarsmen
should always be considered before the spectators.
and although not more than twenty people will really
be able to the whole at Saratoga, 1t looks at
present If that place would be the scene of the
struggle In considering rough water. ETC.. IT might
be well to consider that in 1874 the regatta at Sara
toga had to be postponed three days account OF
rough water. Let us hope there will be no opportu
nifty for such thing to happen again. Whatever
course is selected however. 1t seems to THE Spec
tator should be selected pretty soon 1t is rather
late In the season. and only about six weeks before
the time when the crews will want to 90 to the place
where they will row"
The friends OF the Saratoga course loud In :'cir
praises of the Spa village and its lake, and say that

attractions make 1t decidedly preferable any other
