shortly after l o'clock and saw Guzman's s
body suspended from the window. He
Immediately opened the door and cut

Efforts were made to revive him, but
to no avail. The coroner Yas notified.

CLARKE'S MASCOT
An Ancient Ring that Is Worn by
the Actor

| Harry Corson Clarke was chatting
with a group Of loungers at the Van
Nuys a few nights ago after the theater
when one of the number called attention
to a very peculiar ring which the actor
always wears. Clarke drew off the circle
from his finger and passed it around
for examination, remarking as he did so
| that 1t was his mascot and had an in
teresting history.
The ring was a heavy band made of
| platinum. There was a cat's-eye setting
| of some dark greenish stone, placed be-
tween two diamonds, and the outside
was engraved with Egyptian HERO
glyphics.
"The ring came from Egypt" said Mr.
| Clarke, 'as you see by the engraving.
| About ten years ago a wealthy young
man from Springfield, O., started around
the world to collect curiosities. He trav-
eled through Greece. Italy, Egypt. As
syria and large part of Asia, bringing
home a rare collection of antiquities.
"A short time after his arrival the
Ladies' Aid society of Springfield gave
benefit in behalf of some enterprise
which they had undertaken to assist,
and this connoisseur contributed some
CI MS curlOSltltS, WHICH, were W be cA-
hibited on the occasion. Among the col
lection were two mummies, which he
had brought from Egypt.
These were taken charge of by the
ladies and were unwrapped for exhibi
ton. There were 200 yards of cloth
around each of them and while this was
being unwound from one ring dropped
out of the folds 1t was a very peculiar
piece of workmanship. and no one was
able to explain it's presence. Whether
the ring was purposely placed in the
wrapping at the time the mummy was
prepared, and for what purpose, or how
1t did come there, will always remain
mystery. The most likely solution of
the matter seems to be that the ring
slipped from the finger of some one who
was engaged in wrapping the mummy
thousands of years ago, and remained
concealed in the folds until it was acci-
dentally discovered"
The ring was shortly afterwards pre-
scented to Mr.. Clarke, after a very sue
cessful appearance in Springfield, and
has been highly priced as a relic ever
since. 1t is certainly an interesting cur
iosity. He has had many requests from
jewellers to copy the design but invaria-
bly, refuses, as he believes that it is the
only one of the kind in existence.

CRlPPLE CREEK, Col, May 25.-Two
gangs of men are now digging on the
tunnel to be made under Pixies peak.
One crew began at the foot of the
mountain, near the old town of Colora-

due southwest, and the further end is
TO be about six miles from Cripple
Creek and near Sunol. The main tun-
mel will pass directly under the cone Of
Pixies peak, at a depth of 1000 feet, and
2,70O feet under Victor. Thirty miles
Of laterals are to be built underneath
all Of the Cripple Creek district, at an
average depth of $500 feet, and it is
designed to test the mineral deposits
from these depths. At present the
shortest road from Cripple Creek to
Colorado Springs is 81 miles, but with
the completion Of the new tunnel the
distance will be but 10 miles. The two
gangs are now making a Roadway Of
80 feet per day, and it is believed that

The estimated cost per foot of the ex-
