With Mammoth Tunnel Proposition.
Dispatches from Central City to the
Colorado Springs Gazette this week an
nouuce that H A Riedel & Company
and other Colorado Springs interests, are
TO take charge of the proposed line of
railroad from Central City to Yankee
Hill. 1t was impossible to verify this
statement by telephone to Central City
but Mr.. George l.. rorrey, of the firm of
Reidel, Tory & Co, was in the city this
week and admitted that the management
of the construction and everything from
this date forward had been rendered his
firm by the promoter.
II cannot say what will be accom-
plished as yet" said Mr. Torrey. 1--WE
have been asked to take charge of the
line but have had no time to consult
the other interests to determine whether
or not the task involved will be taken up
or not. I am told that the proposition
has been completely financed and that
work will begin as soon as preliminary
arrangements are perfected"
This firm has organized another impor-
tant tunnel proposition for the district
to be known as the Clear Creek and Gil
pin. 1t will enter the mountain along
Clear Greek below the Stanley, we are in
formed and cut through to Gilpin county
across the great mineral belt of the dis
trict.
This proposition will be one of the
prominent ones in the district on account
of the territory it crosses, the wonderful
depth to be attained and the rich veins
to be encountered. AS near as we can
ascertain the depth attained will be over
5000 feet.
The firm has planted its flag in the
Clear Greek district after spending many
years in successful work in Cripple
Creek and the gentlemen who comprise
the company have most profuse and gen
erous words of commendation for this
district.

A Flying Hotel.

"The Golden State Limited, 4" recently
placed in service between Chicago and
California by the Rock Island System, is
beyond doubt the most practical train
ever constructed. Bath rooms, barber
shop, library, dining service, electric
lights, electric fans-in fact every con-
trivance imaginable
The Rock Island was the first line to
establish low excursion rates between
the east and Colorado, and the officials
will not cease to expound every effort to
continue to increase the popularity of its
resorts. With this in view, it will not be
surprising to see in the very near future
such trains as the Colorado Flyer and
the Rocky Mountain Limited" similarly
equipped
One thing is certain, there is never
anything better than the Rock Island
Service, and its dining car system is in
comparable.

Not a Sissy Boy.

While in the city this week Robert
Fitzsimmons read several ladies who had
gathered around to look at him a good
lesson. Of course they stood looking at
him as if he might be some animal es-
capped from a menagerie. Comment was
of various kinds but always of a whis-
pered nature. Finally the big boxer
made little speech" to satisfy their
curiosity. Ladies'" he said, II guess
you don't like the looks of me very we'll
i am prize fighter. Prize fighters are
bad medicine and the women like the lit
tile sissy fellows who part their hair in
the middle and smoke cigarettes. 1
don't smoke nor 1 don't monkey with
the fashionable highball. always have
sympathy for that class of fellows" The
ladies apparently enjoyed the little talk
and it looked as if they agreed with him.
Bob was right. The world admires o
man and prefers a prize fighter to a
weakling of sissy.

The Jackson Monument.

The idea that the city should expend a
little money in preparing the park for the
reception of the monument to the men,
ory of George A. Jackson, who discov-
cred gold in the Rocky Mountains is a
good one. A little breathing spot of
this kind for the people will be an excel
lent Investment for the city, There are
those who cannot go to the park on the
hill and such a place as the one sug-
gested above the Jackson mill would be
a good one. Let us have the park and
why not begin work on it right away, as
soon as the season will permit?

The Conner Gold Mines.

Chicago Greek S success is again plac-
ing herself in the list of shipping Sec
tions has materially enhanced the value
of every proposition there. During the
past year many new companies have
been incorporated to open up the known
veins in this locality and nearly every
proposition has been attended with sue
cess. 1t is probably true that the Chi
cago Creek district has accomplished a
greater amount of development work
than any other section and it is also true
that it is producing better results in
shipments in proportion to development
than any other section of the district
The Conner Gold Mining and Milling
company is one of the comparatively new
companies up this creek. The property
it owns and operates has been known for
sometime as good one but nothing was
done in the direction of moving it along.

His plan is unique in the stock line. He
has certain number of shares, we have
forgotten the capitalization of the COM
pany, and these shares have a par value
of SI.oo each. The purchaser buys his
shares on the proposition that he pays I
cent per month on each share until the
property is self sustaining, In other
words, if 900 shares are purchased the
cost is $1,000 per mouth. If the prop
erty is self-sustaining at the end of
twelve months the shares have cost II
cents each and are issued by the secre-
tary worcestershire and fully paid. In

plan appealed to the people.

Judge Gunnel1, of Colorado Springs Inter
ested in Little Matte.

Judge A. T. Gunnell of Colorado
Springs, was in the city couple fweeks
ago making an inspection OF the Little
Matte properties. Judge Gunnell is one
of The best known lawyers in the state
and at the present time is the senior
counsel in the famous case of L. Harry
Stratton, who is endeavoring to break
the will of his late father, Winfield Scott
Stratton, He is representing the plain
tiff.
In speaking of the Little Matte prop
critics he had the following to say in the
Colorado Springs Gazette of last Friday
Judge A. r. Gunnell, of this city, re-
Gently visited Idaho Springs in the in
terests of the Little Matte company to
investigate the strike reported as having
been made upon the property of that
company. Upon his return Judge Gun
nell corroborates the story in its fullest
detail and classes the strike as more i'm.
portant than at first reported. The EN-
tire breast of the fourth level is in ore
and ore of high grade, the exact figures
not being Immediately available. The
entire property Is looking better than at
any time in its history and the local
parties interested are pleased accordingly
A lease on this portion of the workings
was recently granted to A. H. Parker,
the comPany's book-keeper, who asso
ciated with him in the lease a practical
miner. Within few days of their be-
ginning operations upon their lease the
vein was cut and development is proving
the find to be one of the utmost impor-
tauce. The Little Matte has been a
producer in the past and under the pres
ent management is being rapidly placed
in condition for maintaining a steady

EMPIRE Is
ACQUIRING
FORTUNES.
Little Land of Golden Fissures Competing
With the Best IN the District.

With the Best IN the District.
w. P Clough. mayor of Empire and
one of the best known mini < men of
that district was in the city this week
Mr.. Clough was the candidate for repre-
sentative on the Republican ticket this
last fall and the splendid vote he re
ceived in his home city was testimon
ial of the esteem in which he is held. In
this connection it might not be out of
place to suggest that Speaker Sanford.
one of the half breed Republicans of the
lower house of the legislature, sent for
Mr.. Clough and asked him TO be present
and report for duty if needed. This was
when the anti Republican gang intended
to unseat the outside Democrats, permit
the Arapahoes, who were fraudulently
elected to remain, and elect Frank Goudy
to the senate. Mr.. Clough went to Den
yer but not to take his seat. He told the
antis so plain that he could not be mis-.
understood that he would not ACCEPT Mr..
Kneisel's seat If it was declared vacant
because the latter had been fairly and
uoHGSllN GlGClGh at oil election
as fairly as it would be possible to con-
duct one. He added in rather expressive
language what he thought of the disrep-
utable tactics of the seventeen traitorous
Republicans and the methods they pro-
posed-to unseat outside members like
Kneisel while the Arapahoe members
were permitted to hold their seats"
Mr. Clough states that progress of the
most satisfactory kind is being recorded
at Empire, The people are beginning
to realize that one of the greatest mineral
bearing belts of the county courses
through that section and are taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered. He
will soon make complete and thorough
cyanide test of the ores in the Gold Bug
property and the fact that he has a vein
twelve feet across that shows good val
ues can be accepted as an indication of
what the possibilities might be in the
event the cyanide treatment should
prove successful. Mr.. Clough is live
man in live town and will succeed in
helping everything along. 1t is, indeed,
gratifying to note the wonderful change
in that cautp in the past two years. The
to establish new town has apparently
proven barren of results The property
is temporarily closed down and it is re-
ported that another party will be placed
in charge.
