Fifteen tons OF Dynamite viii be
Touched off.

Some weeks ago mention was
made of an immense reservoir to
be built at the foot of Pixies Peak
by the Woods Investment com
pany, to furnish water for the
Cripple Creek district.
In order to hasten the work of
excavation, tunnel has been dug
under the reservoir site, and in
this 10000 pounds of dynamite
will be exploded. Rev. Arthur
Willett, who is interested in the
enterprise, received notice this
morning that at 2 O'Clock in the
afternoon of the 18th this amount
of explosive will be ignited. 1t

undou btedly be witnessed by a

A DISPATCH from Cripple Greek
says that from an unofficial but
reliable source it was learned to-
day that the Isabella company will
make shipment the present week
which will eclipse all former ones.
1t is claimed upon reasonable
grounds that this shipment Will
amount to so tons of ore that will
bring 100000, and this is a con-
servative estiwate. The authority
for this information is known to
be in close touch with the work
ings of the Isabella mine and the
company itself The person in
question stated to your correspond
ent that the Isabella people who
are on the outside really expect
that the amount of money the com
pany will net from this shipment
will exceed the 100000 mark, but
he himself places the figure at that
to be on a conservative basis.

Since the death of his son in

in Washington and this week re-
ceived the following official in
formation regarding the matter:

RAILROAD TOPICS.
What May and May Not be Ex-
pected in Railroad Building.


In its railroad notes the Denver
Times discusses the G. S. x G. G
d. railway, and suggests that with
the building of this road a short
line from Denver to the gold
camps will become an absolute
necessity. 1t says among other
things;
There has been some talk re-
Gently that the Colorado Midland
was preparing to build into Routt
county. possibly making Meeker
the terminal While there may
be foundation for rumors of build
ing, the probabilities are that the
company will build in another di-
rectiou if any new construction is
done next year The building of
the Colorado Springs & Cripple
Creek District railway will un-
doubtedly make considerable of a
change in the railway map of this
locality in the next twelve months.
The assertion has been made that
if the line from Colorado Springs
were built the Colorado Midland
would seek Denver terminal.
Since A. @. Ridgway took general
managership of the Colorado
Springs line the construction
plans have been pushed This
line will not be an electric line, as
supposed by many; it will be
standard gauge steam railroad, and
the company has secured the fran
chises of the old Cripple Greek
District Electric line, which has
been operating in the district for
the last two years.
An Associated Press dispatch of
yesterday from New York says
some important conferences be-
tween the Union Pacific and North
western officials have been held in
this city within the past week and
a report is again in circulation to
the effect that the former system
will be absorbed by the latter,
which the Vanderbilts already con-
troll. This will be done under a
long term lease, it is said. Both
President Heaghitt and President
Burt of the two lines are now in
the city. They denied Thursday
that their presence here had any
such significance as was indicated
by the report.
