SANTA ANA

SANTA ANA, June S.-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) At last nights meeting Of the
city trustees the question as to whether
Santa Ana shall have public park was
practically settled. The matter was
brought before the trustees by the reading
of communication from O. r. Smith,
who very generously offers to donate a
tract of land In the Birch estate to be con-
verted into park. Mr.. Smith rendered
the same property to former board over
two years ago, but his offer was then re-
jected as the result Of successful opposi-
ton from the east end residents. Last
night the acceptance of the donation was
opposed by Trustees Whitney and Edgar
but the motion to accept was carried by
the votes Of Trustees Avas, Grouard and
Parsons from the three west end wards.
The donation comprises a tract $50 feet
square bounded by Second, Third, Birch
and Ross streets. With his gift Mr. Smith
has offered to deed a fifty-foot strip for
street. thus opening up q thoroughfare
which has been considered desirable for
years, but which could not be put through
without a great deal Of expense.

The New Mining Town as seeb from
Crest Of Gold nm.
The most popular train from Denver
to Cripple Creek in these days Is the
"Eleven-come-seyen," which leaves
Denver an hour before midnight and
arrives at the foot of Bennett avenue,
in the metropolis OF the gold fields, at
about sunrise, says Harper's Weekly.
There Is something about the name OF
the train. borrowed as II is from the
p~hraesology Of the game OF craps
that smacks Of chance and Its peculiar
iy appropriate title probably has as
much to do with its popularity as has
the convenience of being able to go TO
sleep In the state capital and to wake
up In camp. The visitor, arriving at
the foot OF Bennett avenue. the princi-
pal business th~oroughfare Of the town.
Just as the sun is coming up over Gold
hill. is apt to remark first upon the
temperature, which he finds surpris-
ingly genial as compared even with
Denver, and the almost invariable ABB
sence OF snow, which, when one con-
siders the altitude, $500 feet, may be
regarded as somewhat phenomenal. But
II is to be doubted II these circum-
stances occasion him as much surprise
as when. a few minutes later. having
been whirled away from the handsome
stone station In the bus, he finds him
self In the spacious lobby Of a hotel
that in architecture would do credit to
any of the larger cities of the effete
east. The stranger is accordingly not
surprised when, in a subsequent walk
through the length If Bennett ave-
nue., he observes its artistic shop
fronts, its substantial mining exchange
and bank buildings. its gilded saloons
and its attractive opera house. The
array OF wares in the shop windows
not infrequently causes a still further
shattering OF the tourists preconceived
notions. The fact that gambling places
are running wide open during the day
as well as the night and on Sunday
as on the other days of the week is
abount the only reminder, from the
Bennett avenue standpoint, that there
Is a mining camp at the towns doors,
unless 1t happen that the conversation
OF h loungerg on the street corners
and in the barrooms be overheard. in
which even the visitors ears are smit-
ten with a jargon in which "lodes' and
"stopes" and drifts" and "crosscuts"
and "whims" and "~phonolite' and
"porphyry'' are a few of the more in
telligible u~tterances. mingled with
names OF mines and mining stocks that
are frequently OF weird significance.
But there is another side to Cripple
Creek than that presented by Bennett
avenue. The day when the town con
sisted OF street has long ago de-
parted, and, as may be seen by a pan
oramic view from the crest of Gold

Elevator accidents are SO common
and in many cases so startling that in
ventions looking to the safety of pas
sengers have multiplied very rapidly
within the past few years. One of the
newest is the air cushion which is
formed by the elevator itself. At the
bottom of the shaft is a well anywhere
from twelve to eighteen feet deep. Be-
low the elevator is a platform that fits
closely into this we'll. and if the ele-
vator gives way, it so nearly fills the
space that in driving down the air 1t
meets with steady and powerful resist
ance. The air escapes very slowly
around the edge of the platform. and
practically does away with all danger
of a serious crash.
