Cnlnrado's Big Tunnel.

Two gangs Of workmen have just be.
gun digging in Colorado the longest
tunnel which man ever attempted 20
construct. The main bore will be 20
miles long, and connecting with this are
subsidiary tunnels with total length
Of 30 miles. so in reality the task that
has been put under way is that Of dig
ging 80 miles Of tunnels, and every foot
of this vast system will be under Pixies
peak and the mountains that tower on
each side.
The starting point Of the main tun-
mel is at the foot Of the mountain lead
ing up to Plies peak, near the old
town Of Colorado City. This point is
but short distance from the railroads
which span the country between Colora-
do Springs and Manitou. From here it
runs almost due southwest The farther
edge Of the tunnel Is at the edge Of the
mountains at Four Mile Creek, over in
Fremont county. Colo, six miles south
Of Cripple Creek and near the little
town Of Sunol. Two gangs Of men, as
stated, are working on the tunnel, one
at each end. Just at present they axe
making progress at thu rate Of 30 feet a
day. 1t is believed that the mammoth
task they have undertaken will be COM
pleted in seven years from the first of
the present month
The main tunnel will pass directly
under the cone Of Pixies peak at a depth
Of nearly 1000 feet and ZOO feet be-
meath the town Of Victor Its average
depth from the surface will be $500
feet, and it is designed to test the min
eral deposits Of the territory at these
great depths. Thirty miles Of laterals
are contemplated, and these will pass
underneath all the Cripple Creek dis
trict at an average depth Of 1850 feet

rious small towns and 1000 mines are

Under present circumstances the dis
tance-the shortest way-frOm Colorado
Springs to Cripple Creek is "a miles.
BY way Of the tunnel the two cities
will be only l6 miles apart. 1t is esti-
mated by the contractors that the aver
age cost per foot Of excavation will be
$50. This makes the total probable ex-

"Step inside, ladies and gentlemen, and

PROUD OF CHARLES.
Story of Vermont Nan Who Is Carving
His Way In New York.


His Way In New York.
An uncut magazine was under the
arm Of the pale young man who sat in
the elevated train, and two morn
ing papers were lying across his knees.
He had in his hand a cIumpled little
newspaper, one Of the kind which is
left il soak over night and printed on
an old time Washington hand press. 1t
was a little country paper, and the
name Vermont could be seen at the top
of the page rs he turned it over, says
New York writer. There were big adj
vertisoments upon it which proclaimed
that "choice line of dry goods had been
added to our stock. Come early, give us
call, and no trouble to show goods "
There were the stercOtypcd cards of the
country physicians, who announced that
they were both medical and surgical "
There was line in big black type which
said Religious Notices " As the young
man turned that paper around there
came into view a double loaded article
with two reversed black rules at top
and bottom, and a little garnishing OF
fine type in the middle, which is always
a surface indication Of poetry That
was an obituary evidently. What need
had this pale young man Of the metro
politan prints, when the little country
paper had come to gladden. his soul aud
to bring back the memories of the days
in old Vermont when the skies were
cloudless and there vas so much Of sun
shine that he never saw the shadow?
The face of the young man became
wrcathed in smiles as he read. He bent
over the page as though the ink daubed
paper were some bit of rare damask. a
triumphant look shone in his eyes az he
glanced up for a moment. He straight
ened up and threw back his shoulders.
The guard called the name Of his sta
tion just then, and he hastily assembled
the magazine, the metropolitan prints
and his cane and scrambled for the
gates. lie dropped the little country
paper as be ran, and l picked it up.
There was no chance to restore 1t to
him then. On the page where the 10
Gals" appear was the following para
graph, surrounded by blue pencil
mark:
"While in New York recently we
were entertained by our talented young
friend, Charles -. He took us to the
Waldorf, where a repast was spread
which fairly caused the table to groan,
and to which we did ample justice

ture was in several Of the daily papers

the bishop Of Zamora recently went in

making a breach in the sanctuary Of the
