A Tunnel Through Pixies Peak.

Il is reported that the actual work OH
the tunnel through Pixies peak was be-
gun eight miles from the Cripple Creek
goldlield. 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 mile and half long. The
workmen will drill through solid gran
lite, and tunnel by feet will be
built. The contract calls for the COM
pletion Of the work within two years.
The price to be paid is $40 per foot,
and at this rate it is estimated that the
work will cost $3.50, 200. 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 Greek, the contractors have great
expectations as to the result of boring
through Pixies peak, and sufficient
number of claims have been secured %
protect any find that may be made dur
ing the progress of the work. Railway

A Constant Visitor.

Pain Is constant visitor of persons
troubled with chronic rheumatism. This
unwelcome guest will, however, take its
departure, and not renew his visits if a
writ of ejectment is served upon it
through the agency of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, the most efficient blood de-
purent and anodyne to rheumatic twinges
known to medical science. No testimony
iii its behalf is more positive and conclu-
sive than that which proves it's efficacy in
rheumatic complaints. Ii is also con-
spicuously efficacious for malarial, ner-
yous, bilious, dyspeptic and kidney dis
orders. 1t promotes appetite and sleep,
and is particularly useful to invalids re-
covering from exhaustiug maladies. Per-
sons past the prime of life, and thus suf-
ferng from lack OF vital stamina, find
it highly beneficial. Give it a Persistent
trial. No medicine used spamodically,
and at irregular times, can be expected
to achieve lasting results.

sour and generates gas. Liver gets full
of bile. Bile gets into the blood. Head
aches come, dizzines~ loss of appetite,

eating-and all because Nature did not

Once used, they are always in favor.

A Musical Mountain,

In the mining district of Truckee,
New, is the only musical mountain in
the United States. IT was located by
q party of PROJECTORS in 1864.
The quest for gold had led these ex.
plorers to the foot of the mountain,
where they pitched their tents, and for
some time bad cause to believe them
selves in q wonderland OF sound, if not
of gold. Each evening, little after
dusk, when all WAS still, there pro-
ceeded from the big mountain so!t,
mysterious strains, like the tinklIng
Of tiny, silver bells, that seemed to
make the whole atmosphere culver as
they floated over the camp, and were
waited far away until lost in the dis
tance, only to be followed by fresh
gust of sweet tones.
As the magic music was only heard
under cover OF the night, it was con-
Guided that it must proceed from some
other source than the wind, and GER
tain of the campers, finding it more
interesting than prospecting, gave
most of their time TO Investigating the
mystery. Meanwhile several camping
parties appeared, and among them

seemed familiar with the musical won
