The cost per foot of driving tunnels has been a
question of considerable interest since Siftings
stated last winter that it had cost company in
the district $657 per foot to do its work during the
month of January. Figures were published in this
column couple of weeks ago to show that the
cost per foot-total cost-to drive the Newhouse
had been 1854 per foot. The report has brought
out several Others among them suggestion from
Superintendent Stewart of the Big Fives Central
tunnel. From this it would appear that the fed
Grafton and its fortunate superintendent have the
record for the big tunnel driving in the district.
Here the figures furnished by Mr.. Stewart with
the comment

We hope to make at least 200 feet this month,
which will decrease the cost per foot, with no aP-

1t will be but few years now until
fish abound in the lakes surrounding
Idaho Springs. 1t would be impossible
to estimate the good that will be derived
from this. With proper care and protec-
tion these lakes can be made the most i'm
portant adjuncts to the summer resort
business. Every locality in the county
should organize league similar to the
one we have here in Idaho Springs. Such
organizations can succeed in procuring
the fish for the streams and protecting
the privileges after they are seeded.
There is no argument against the
leagues. Let us get the fish and then let
us see that they are not dynamited and
subjected to careless and wanton de-
struction. When this is accomplished
the leagues have accomplished every pur-
pose for which they are organized.

was little bit surprised last week when was
informed that the new association at Yankee Hill

not get the work. 1t made price-exactly the

cheaper. 1t has followed the rule for the past year

The Big Five association has tried cyanide in
treating the ores of the Boulder district and finds
that the sulphides in that section can be handled
successfully. This means great deal for that Sec
ton and the same thing will mean a good deal
here The mining men should take interest in
the proposition.

The idea of establishing the cyanide treatment
as future fixture for the district is longer ex-
perimental. The success of Manager Tanner of
the Bertha and Manager Linn of the Gold Stand
ard in operating successfully the is enough
to satisfy any one of the results that can be ex-
pected. Both of these gentlemen have carried the
proposition beyond the limit of tests and made
runs on such quantities of ore that there can be
absolutely no doubt that cyanide will mean millions
to the district With process established that
will treat $500 and $500 there is way to
measure the future of the district only in mutples

The excursion to Boulder last Saturday was

theory that little happiness occasionally is
whole lot better to have than the money it costs.

Even the Democrats here at home are incensed

idea of allowing Senator Teller to frank the tera

The people of Clear Greek county will not indorse
the Buckln bill and if Senator Teller is to shine
forth its most loyal supporter it is not probable
that he will again be indorsed by the people of the
state.
glance at the story concerning the building

circumstances get worse. The city has two re-

When Lord Nelson was commanding
the Mediterranean squadron and lying
off the bay of Biscay, the captains Of
two Spanish frigates lately arrived
from America sent to entreat the honor
of an audience with the admiral, merely
to give themselves the qualification Of
seeing person whom they considered
to be the greatest man In the world.
Captain Hardy took their request to
Lord Nelson and urged compliance
with It, Notwithstanding the admiraps
querulous reply Of, ''What is there to
see in an old, withered fellow like my:
selfY .a 1crT
Nelson always wore short breaches
and silk stockings, and at this moment
his legs were bound at the knee and an
kle with, pieces of brown paper soaked
in vinegar and tied with red tape. The
application was to allay the irritation
of some mosquito bites.
Quite forgetting this and the extraor'
dinary appearance 1t presented, he
went on deck to the Spanish captains
and conducted the interview with such
perfect good breeding and courtesy that
his odd appearance was quite forgotten
In the charm of his manners, and the
spaniards went away with every high
opinion confirmed which they had pre-
viously formed OF Lord Nelson.

Those Dull Ducks.

I recall Mr.. Lowell telling, loosely,
in an after dinner speech in Cambridge
how he met an acquaintance (of dubi-
GUS standing whose cheerful face and
happy demeanor led him to ask the
cause Of such exuberant felicity.
"Why," said the genial smiler, "I've
discovered way to make my fortune.
We all know that the reason for the
fine flavor Of the wild duck is the wild
celery on which 1t feeds. Now, pro-
pose to feed 1t to the domestic duck and
supply the market"
Some weeks later, on meeting his ac-
quaintance again, Mr.. Lowell found
him quite depressed and inconsolable.
"Why are you looking so unhappy? I
thought the last time saw you that
you were on the point of making your
fortune with ducks. Wouldn't it
work"
NO" was the reply; 'the things
won't eat it."-Atlantic.
