A Tunnel Through Pixies Peak.

It is reported that the actual work ON
the tunnel through Pixies peak was be-
gun eight miles from the Cripple Creek
goldfeld The work is done under con-
tract with the city of Colorado Springs,
and the tunnel is to run from Beaver
Creek canyon to West Beaver creek.
bringing the water down the canyon
and into the control of the waterworks
at Colorado Springs. The tunnel is
1000 feet above the sea level and is to
be over o mile and half long. The
workmen will drill through solid gran
lite, and tunnel by z feet will be
built. The contract calls for the COM
pletion of the work within two years.
The price to be paid is SIC per foot,
and at this rate it is estimated that the
work will cost $3.50, 900. Workmen
have begun operations at both ends of
the proposed tunnel Owing to the fact
that gold has been found in paying
quantities in so many places near Grip
pie Creek, the contractors have great
expectations as to the result Of boring
through Pixies peak, and sufficient
number Of claims have been secured tc
protect any find that may be made dur
ing the progress Of the work. Railway

POISONED BY MORPHINE.
Edward Durrell Thought He
Was Swallowing a Dose
of Antipyrine.
He Blames a Drug Clerk for the Mis-
take, but the Latter Indig-
nantly Denies 1t.

Edward Durrell, painter living at COS
Pine street, was taken to the Receiving
Hospital last night suffering from NOR
phine poisoning.
He said he was suffering from a head
sche, and went to Simpsons drugstore,
COB Montgomery street. He asked the
clerk to give him a dose of antipyrine.
The clerk gave him a dose and he swal-
lowed it. He mad not walked far when he
began to feel queer. He returned to the
store and told the clerk he was not feeling
we'll. The clerk asked him if he had swal-
lowed the stuff he gave him, and receiv-
ing a reply in the affirmative the clerk
told him 1t was morphine, and rang for
the patrol wagon.
DR.. Stice applied the usual remedies
and Durrell was soon pronounced out OF
danger.
The drug clerk, who refused to give his
name, denied that Durrell got any med
icine whatever from him.
1.-THE man came into the store" he said
''about $50 O'Clock. He told me he was
not feeling we'll and l advised him to go
to the Receiving Hospital. He appeared
to be suffering from nicotine poisoning.
He said he would go to the hospital and
ang for the patrol wagon.
The man was only once in the store. II

pyrine or anything else. He got nothinp Q
from me, and l cannot understand why
he should make such statement, as it is
