Mine and Tunnel Operated.

Denver, Aug. 21.-A Republican spe.
cial from Cripple Creek last night
says:
The situation tonight in brief is as
follows: The Ell Paso mine and the
drainage tunnel are being operated
with full contingent of miners. Ev.
cry one of them is from this district
and many of them are union men.
During the day many more reported
for work. in fact. more than the com
pany could use to advantage at pres
ent. At the most conservative esti.
mate there are not less than 175 men
quartered at the Ell Paso mine. The
Federation's estimate places the num-
ber at seventy-fiveoo oonly, and the Off.
GERS state that several men quit work
to-day, and that there will be fewer
men at work tomorrow This state
ment. however, is denied by those in
charge at the mine.

natl, notified the police that Bruce had given
him check in payment for bill Of goods pur-
chased Saturday, The check was on the Farm
ers and Traders Bank of COvingtOn, calling
for $275, with the name of T. w. Sanford &
Co. signed to it.
The bill of goods Bruce selected amounted to
SlS6.20. and the difference in the check and
the amount of the bill, $3.50, was given Bruce
in the shape of check on the Citizens National
Bank.
After Bruce had left Snyder suspicioned that
something was wrong and he called OIL Mr.. Sand
ford, who at once pronounced the check rank
forgery. The forgery was done with one of
Sandfords own printed checks.
Bruce did not confne his operations in the
check line to the Snyder transaction, but also
worked the same scheme on NJ. II. Levy, mu-
steal instrument dealer at 52S Madison avenue,
Cincinnati. He purchased 1925 piano from
Levy, rendering q check similarly signed as the
one rendered Snyder.
It called for $3.50, and Levy in return gave
Bruce his check for $25.
When searched at headquarters the Levy
check could not be found. He told the arrest,
ing officers that he had torn it up.
Bruce had at several times visited the office
OF T. W. Sanford & Co., where he had made in
quiries concerning residence he intended buy
ing, and it is thought that while on one of these
visits he managed in some way to secure several
of Sandford's checks, which he aftcrward signed,
using SandfOrd's signature.
