coming in and out Of the tunnel Both
the engineer and the contractor lost
their lives. But in the Simplon, the
workmen's health Is carefully looked
to. They come out from their labors
in the tunnel into large, warm build

suits for dry clothes, and are pro-
vided with hot or cold douche baths.
Excellent meals are given at a nomi-

The problem Of how a great Alpine

one that long baffled engineers. To
sink shafts through the mountains was
out of the question, but Sig. Saccardo,
vented system by which vast volumes
of fresh air can be blown into tunnel
by ventilating fans placed near the
mouth.
This was first introduced on the Prac-
CHA tunnel beneath the Apennines, but
not until after heavy train with two
engines, conveying one Of the crowned
heads of Europe and his suite, rushed
out of the exit Of the Pracchia tunnel
one day with it's engineman and fire
man lying almost suffocated.
But the only satisfactory solution to
the ventilation question is the adoption
Of electric traction through tunnels OF
great length. This system has worked
we'll at Baltimore, where an electric
locomotive is attached to the expresses
when approaching the long tunnel,
which takes them through, steam en-

Since October Of Last year the work
at the italian end Of the Simplon has
been much delayed by the flooding Cd

COLORADO MINING KING DEAD.

Spent $7,OOO,OOO in Searching for
Mother Lode at Cripple Creek.
Search for the worlds greatest store
Colorado Springs of Winfield Scott
Stratton, Colorado's bonanza king. Up
to the time Of his death Mr.. Stratton
was spending $4,000 a month in sink
ing a shaft into the heart of Battle
Mountain, in order to lay bare the
mother lode of precious metal from
which all the fabulously rich veins of
Cripple Creek diverge. Had this work
been successfully consummated, the
son Of a poverty-stricken boat-builder,
himself for many years a carpenter,
would have died unQuestionably the
richest man in the world. 1t would
have been a fitting climax to life that
reads like boys story book of adven-
lures.
Winfield Scott Stratron was born at
Jeffersonville, Ind, on July %, 1913, be-
ing the only son of Myron Stratton,
boat builder of that town. Hard work
at his fathers craft occupied the boys
early youth, but his own rowing dispo-
sition and the lurid tales of returning
'49ers from California soon made him
leave his home and drift rapidly out
into tie golden West, as thousands of
other young men were doing at that
time. Unlike most other young men,
however, Stratton let mines and mining
strictly alone until he had earned by
steady application to his work at a car
penter's bench a small capital of 3,OOO
The latter portion Of this sum was
amassed at Colorado Springs, where in
1873 the young laboring man made his
first venture into the mining world. He
put all of his little fortune into the
| Yretaba mine In the Cunningham
Gulch, and never received one cent of it
| back again. The experience gave him
the mining fever, however, and a fierce
| determination to get back from the
bowels of the earth the money that he
had seen swallowed up there.
1t was the turning point in Stratton's
| career. He now felt an Irresistible de-
| sire to prospect for gold. Carpentering
| he pursued long enough each year to
secure money for an outfit, and the rest
| of the time was spent in investigating
! every mining settlement in Colorado.
For almost twenty years Winfield
Stratton sternly pursued this profitless
life of treasure-seeking, and at last he
"struck It rich" The Fourth of July,
1891, gave the tireless prospector his re.
ward in the stalking out of the famous
Independence mine at Cripple Creek
From this property Stratton has been
