Tunnelling Through Gold Fields

A Colorado Springs special runs:
Work has begun on the mammoth
tunnel to penetrate the Cripple Creek
gold fields for six miles. 1t is under
the management of B. F. Kelley, who
built the San Juan tunnel under the
Silver Lake district; also, famous
tunnel at Creole. The tunnel begins
on the west side OF Grouse Mountain,
at an altitude of 1000 feet. In the
first 1000 feet it will pass under the
Xyphonolite and gain 1865 feet. I'M
der the top of Grouse Mountain it will
have a depth OF 1900 feet. 1t will pass
between Battle and Squaw Mountains,
1000 feet below the surface. At Vic
tor mine, on Bull Hill, it will be 800
feet down.
The tunnel will be 10 by 9 feet in
size, with partition, on a grade of |
per cent, or fall of 5I7 feet in six
miles. It will have double track
for trolley cars, which will handle the
ore. An immense power plant viii
operate electric drills. The route j:
through the heart of the camp
Many rich veins will doubtless be cul
and followed in extensive drifts. The
project is the largest of its kind yel
proposed. The cost is estimated al
5000, 900.

Cheap Bicycles.

Cheap bicycles will glut the market
this year. Taking the tips from their
western competitors, the eastern
sewing machine manufacturers will
turn out an immense number of BIZ
cycles this year, and the Singer Ma
chine Company has denied repeatedly
that it was engaged in manufacturing
bicycles and officials of the company
denied Saturday that it is engaged in
such a project But as matter of
fact, it is stated that large eastern con-
Germs have been manufacturing BIZ
cycles, and with them nearly I,ooo,-
600 machines in the market at SIS
apiece. Agencies are being estab-
lished in this and other States, and it
is asserted that as no large commits
sions will be paid, the companies en-
gagged will make money, although the
actual cost of any standard bicycle at
first hands has been stated to be S34.
Agents familiar with the trade are be-
ing engaged. =

REpoRr OF aEvIsIos COMMITTEE


The Board of Education, Mdrtmsburg.
". Pa:
Gentlemen It he committee which
your board appointed on November IL.
1895, to prepare course of study for the
public schools herewith presents the
course as arranged for the first eight
grades.
Before taking up the work of revising
the present course of study your COM
mittee made careful examination of a
large number of reports from various
cities in this and other States. The COM
mittee has tried TO embody in our own
course of study number of valuable
features drawn from these reports.
The committee has arranged for Ian
guage work from the lowest grade to the
highest. A beginning has been made in
the study of American literature. The
useless repetition of work in the readers
has been avoided. Tie work IN primary
arithmetic has been based on object
methods. The necessity of having the
pupils understand what they read and
what they do has been emphasized.
1t is believed that this course is the
best that can be put in force under the
present conditions. Whenever proper
number of teachers is employed, the
course should be enlarged and enriched
so as to bring your schools up with the
times
The committee is of the opinion that
the present system of examinations
should be abolished and I'll at pupils
should be promoted on the recommends
ton of the teacher. Any pupil who feels
may be given an examination.
