Win Sue the University.

Actuated no doubt by the precedent
furnished by the case of Atkins and the
State School of Mines, D. G. Mcdonald
proposes to commence a suit against the
regents of the university for the granting
of a diploma from the medical school,
Mcdonald entered the medical de-
partment in DeHver for the two last
years of the course, but was not granted
his diploma, It is alleged on account of
his immoral character. He claims that
these are not adequate grounds, as the
university knew of his character when he
entered. He makes no attempt to re-
fute the charge of ofimmorality, but simply
demands his diploma.
1t is said that he had previously at
tended two medical schools in St. Louis
and two in Denver and had, conducted
himself in such a manner that his ex-
pulsion had resulted on two occasions.
He gained some notoriety a couple OF
years ago, by swearing out complaint
against his mother on charge of in
sanity, actuated, it was said, by desire
to punish her for compelling him to
save his money.
1t is not believed the university will
suffer from the attack of such man.

Pixies Peak Tunnel.

If de Putron Giiddon is to be credited,
aud he is, says the Colorado Springs
Telegraph, the scheme to tunnel Pixies
peak from Colorado City to Cripple
Creek, so generally ridiculed by the
press when first projected, by no means
has been abandoned. Mr. Gliddon, who
is a mine promoter in London and well
and favorably known here as conscien
tious and thoroughly trustworthy min
ing man, writes that there is considerable
interest in the project in England; that
the control of the original company has
passed from American to English hands;
that two well known Englishmen have
become directors of the company and
that something like 100000 shares of
the company have been subscribed for
at 500 per share. This last statement
seems improbable. While the shares
are sIoo each, they have probably been
subscribed tor at a great discount; and if
there were even 100000 in sight actual
work would be under headway at this
time. While the scheme is one of the
most overwhelming in magnitude, at the
same time it is only matter of money;
and if the money can be had, why There
