Tunnel schemes for the deep
drainage of mines wherever posi-
BILE are just now appealing to the
investing public. A deep tunnel is
projected for the Cripple Creek
mines and it has taken form in the
shape Of a corporation that will
eventually control the entire ore
output Of the district The opening
up of large body of high grade ore
on the l,l00 level of the Independ-
ence has given an impetus to deep
mining and makes the carrying
through of the tunoel scheme pos
sible. The tunnel will be built on
the lines of the Sulro tunnel on the
famous Comstock and will tap the
mines Of the district at a deeper
level. In this county there are To-
calities where deep tunnel would
open out a great mining field. One
of the best of these sites is in Union
Basin, where a depth of nearly
1000 feet would be obtained in run
ming less than 5000 feet OF tunnel
and hundreds of rich veins would
be cut. The water obtained in the
running of this tunnel would be of
incalculable value to the mine own
ers, while the unwatering would
enable work to be carried on i'm the
properties at a very low expense.
Great reduction plants could be
erected at the tunnel adit, where all
the ores mined could be reduced
to bullion. In that section the ores
carry gold, copper, lead and silver
and would be easy to handle by
milling and mating. Now is the
time to inaugurate this tunnel
scheme and carry 1t to a successful
issue

A few days ago Governor Brodie
paroled Pearl Hart, the woman who
became notorious because of an at
tempted holdup ofthe Florence stage
a year or so ago, and for which she
and companion were sentenced to
Yuma for term of years. The
woman instead of being the beauti-
full bandit that the eastern sensa-
tional newspapers depict her. is a
very homely, coarse female hop
fiend, with not one particle of re-
finement in her makeup. While
her stay in prison to the end of her
sentence would have served no
good purpose her pardon will in
jure no one.

J. D. O'Haire, at Colorado
Springs, has begun an action
against the Portland mining COM
pany for a one-sixth interest in that
property and for an &C quitting of
all ores taken from the mine since
its discovery. O'Haire alleges that
he is one Of the original locators Of
the property 1t is estimated that
the mine has produced '2,0O0,O
and that its present value is more
than 6,000,000$. Recently James
Doyle recovered 50O,00O$ from the
company in a similar case The
mine was recently offered for sale
at 45,000,000S, but the English
company negotiating the sale failed
to come through.

Low grade gold and silver mines
of Colorado are being worked by a
new process, which is the simplest
method yet devised. After the ore
has been crushed to the desired
fineness it is run into a vacuum
pan, where a salt solution is intro
duced and an electrical current
turned OH. The electricity decom-
poses the salt and liberates the
chlorine, which in turn reduces the
metal to a chloride, easily taken
up by either a hypo solution or can
be amalgamated in the usual way

The production is also estimated to

the mines for fuel.

The George process of smelling
copper ores is to be tried at Will
Jams, where Mr.. George recently in
troduced one of his plants. The
old smelter at that place has been
converted into modern plant and
several tons OF ore from the Grand
Canyon mines will be treated. Mine
owners will watch the experiment

There has developed in the west
a strong feeling against the Kearns
bill for square mining claim, it
being held that it would retard the
work and interests of the prospec-
tors, as it would revolutionize min.
ing in the districts. At present a
mine owner can follow his vein no
matter how far it goes outside Of his
side lines, but the new law sought
to make vertical side lines, outside
of which no vein could be followed
unless the ground was Gated and
held as a separate mining claim.
Miners have always contended for
the right to follow their vein out
side of the vertical side line, as in
many cases thousands Of dollars
may have been spent and a return
was to be expected just as the side
line was reached by the workings
and some one else had located the
vein below that point, in which
event the large plant of machinery
would be practically lost. There
are few claims that have yielded a
return above the 400 level for the
installation of large hosting and
reduction plants and it is below
this point that dividends are ex-
pected Thousands of claims would
lose the vein below the 400 level if
the square claim law was in exist
ence and it is for this reason that
legitimate miners have protested
against the passage of the Kearns
law. There are many things to
be said in favor of the law, but ON
the other hand there are many rea-
SONS why it should be killed, and
the above is one of the most notable
of these reasons.

Worse yet, it was the thirteenth day

cricket PopuIar in the EAST.

The game of cricket has grown into
popularity in and around New York
during the past few years. This is
most apparent in the suburban re-
treats of New Jersey and other places
of residence in the immediate vicin-
ity of the city, such as Mount Vernon,
Williamsbridge, Hackensack, Rose
vile, Newark. Seabright and Eliza
beth. Cricketers as a rule are keen
lovers of the game, anxious for its
advancement and jealous of its good
name. In nearly every club there are
two or three individuals who take it
as their provocative 20 expend time
and money on the game, and who
never tire in their efforts to promote,
not alone the interests of their own
club, but of cricket in general. The
Manhattan is probably the oldest
cricket club in New York, as it has
mad continuous existence for nearly
forty years, and has now on its rolls
members who played on the eleven
over thirty years ago. Sam e. Hos

active and ready to take his place in
a veteran match. W. Byron Wharton

Joseph Peabody of Boston is the

York yacht club. The records of the

New York by name, a Bostonian heads
its membership list. With this honor
comes, too, the honor of being the old

from the point of active interest in

York club was founded in 1874, and it
was in 1916 that Mr.. Peabody became

age then, and to the present time,
when he is 70. he has retained his

New Type Of Steamship.

Consul ]. c. Freeman writes from
Copenhagen: "A company has been
formed in this city for the construc-
ton of trial steamship of new type.
The inventor is Capt. f. C. Ishoy,
who has taken out patents in the
principal countries. In this new form
of steamer the screw is placed under
the bottom instead of aft. The hull
is materially changed in form, being
fiatter, and the ships draft thereby
considerably lessened. 1t is claimed
that saving in the consumption of
coal of about 20 per cent will be
effected. The inventor believes that
with the same amount of fuel the
speed will be greatly increased, and
finally that this form of craft will be
much steadier and more seaworthy."

Tinsley, the tollgate keeper, leaned
ais long frame heavily upon the top
The efforts of a young man in the bot
tom pasture across the road to cap
lure large sorrel colt which did not
court capture.
The young man, Tinsley noted with
an inward chuckle, had about reached
lhat stage of desperation wherein man
meditates the capture of horse with
some convenient brick.
Tinsley did not like the young man
who desired the horse. On general
principles he disliked every young
man who owned horse, and it might
be further stated that his dislike ex-
tended to every young man in the
vicinity of the tollgate, whether he
possessed a horse or not, though from
the nature of his profession Tinsley
was more familiar with the former
class.
1t wasn't Nettie Tinsley's fault ex-
actly, this attitude of her parents. al
though ever since his advent into Ken
lucky, Tinsley had watched with grow
ing concern and perplexity the devel-
opment of his eldest daughter from a

see child into a young woman of un-
deniable beauty, who sat on the porch
of the dollhouse in the evenings and
played softly upon an old guitar left
X. the stable by some unknown pos.
SCISSOR.
The number of saddle horses at his
hitching rack had grown steadily
through the summer, and Tinsley was
more than ever involved in the diff
ticult solution of the problem. He
wished even more feryently than he
had ever wished that his wife had
lived to see her eldest daughter grow
into a woman.
Incivility to the visitors was, of
course, in a Tennesseean. absolutely

Argument with Nettie, Tinsley felt,
