Did Not Include All.

General Frank Hall, in a recent issue
of the Denver Post. enumerated two OF
the tunnel enterprises in the Idaho
Springs district which in his opinion
would bring nearly as potential results
as would the Newhouse." if carried to
their objective points. The tunnels
mentioned were the McCleiland and
United States, the former running to in
tersect the Freelsnd mine and contiguous
veins at great depth, the latter designed
Hukill gulch and the Kansas vein In
Clpin county. That these are very i'm
poriant enterprises. far-reaching in the
territory and possibilities opened, is well
known; but there are other tunnels that
we've omitted in the generals category
that should not be overlooked. For in
stance, there is the Lucania tunnel,
which is steady operation aud will open a
very rich section between lis mouth. on
Fall r.ver, and the rich veins of Russell
guich and Quartz hill. The promoters Of
this bore are not only satisfied as to the
merits of their enterprise, but they are
rapidly covering the distance to be
travers~d. Then there is the Big Five.
or Central tunnel. which is going into
the mountain at the rate of six and one
.AsH feat per day SD has airsady opened
. very important vein just this side oi
the Edgar. The latter vein Will Be
reached in very few days. and in few
months more the well-known Sha'ter
will be cut. This Big Five tunnel is be
ing driven by skilled contractors on 9
sooo-ft. contract. which will place the
heading under the apex Of the Bald
Eagle vein, in a very prolific mineral
producing section. The objective point
Of this tunnel lies also in Gilpin county.
The value of each of these big enter
prises being admitted. it leads one to en-
deavor to estimate what will be tile ben
efcal effect OF all Of them when carried
out. While three of them are aimed at
the rich gold zones that course through
Seaton and Bellevue mountains in this
county, and different districts in Ctlpin.
still. there will be no conflict in the Rener-
al Z cd to be reaped. The Monarch. OF
McClelland tunnel, runs in an entirely
different direction. and in as important a
m neral field, in our opinion.
We could add to this list of loug-dis-
tance tunnels the Big Forty. Honest John
and Burns. Moore on Chicago Creek, and
probably others less ambitious.

Many New Companies.

As an indication Of the activity in cor
poration mining in this section during
the past year. information has been
gathered TO the effect that the law Office
of Lieutenant Governor Haggott and
Prosecuting Attorney J. W. B. Smith has
organized eleven different mining COM
panies during this time. These corpora
tions represent $4,000 shares of 81
each in capitalization, and there was
paid into the state fund through the
secretary Of states Office by these COM
panies $Ss4 and to the state auditor as
anual tax the sum Of 1910. While
these eleven corporations come from but
one law firm, there are still others that
we have been unable to get for tabulation.
Out of this number. six of the corpora
tons were founded by the Fred G.
Shaifer company and the combined cap
italixation Of the half dozen is less than
two million dollars. This showing re-
futes the oft repeated assertion that the
local compantes we're overcapitslizrd,
and 10 to the credit Of not only the pro-
moters Of the different enterprises but to
the camp - we'll. Inquiry at the secret
ary Of states Office elected the informat-

A. r. Linscott arrived here from Den

county, where he has located about 1000
\ecres Of land for intending settlers. He
has teen upon the proposed line of the
MoffAt road all summer, spending con-
siderable time in Routt county. While
there Is no reasonable doubt that the road
will go to that county. still there is q
chance that the main line may take an
other course. the company simply running
a branch to the coal fields of that section.
Mr. Linscott has been observing indicAt-
ions pretty closely and thinks he has sized
up the roads course fairly we'll, although
he admits that the company is likely to
change its mind several times before the
track is laid. And then il IT should be
merged in the Rio Crande company,
which is not considered improbable, an
independent line TO Salt Lake City may
not be built for years to come. Regard
ing the road running through Routt
county, one Of the officials said in = recent
interview: II have Travelled $50 miles in
the past two months" said he. THE
travelling has been from ranch to ranch
along the lire of the rosd. securing right
Of way for the line. We are not certain
yet whese the line will run and We have
had to secure opaious ON right Of way 20
