A MONSTER TUNNEL.
Time Has Wrought Changes in the
Cave of the Winds.

Ever since it was discovered, in the
summer. of 1884, the Cave of the Winds at
Niagara Falls has been a strange and re-
markable attraction for the many visitors
10 that scenic point. 1t has enjoyed rare
patronage, and since 1866 has been undet
the management of George W. wright
AS a. scenic point it has excited the envy
of Canadians who, some years ago. e%ca-
waited a hole through the rock extending
Just back of the stream that poured over
the precpice of the famous Horseshoe
fall The recent diversion of water on the
Canadian side by the piles of excaVated
rock from the tunnel and wheel-plt, as
well as the changes wrought. by Dams
has so transformed the Canadian side, at
the Horseshoe, that the old tunnel. as a
scenic point, is no longer useful, and II
is proposed to dig another longer ana
bigger tunnel that will extend through
the rock to a point back of the heaviest
water of the Canadian fall.
In doing this a shaft 100 feet deep Will
be sunk south of the old Table ROCK
house. and from the bottom of this shaft
a tunnel seven by nine feet Will De run
out and back of the Horseshoe fall. As
the fall is 165 feet high the point of view
at the face of the precipice behind the
sheet of water will 'be about forty.Ilve
feet above the water of the lower river.
The tunnel will follow the contour of the
fall at a distance of fifty feet back
From the end of the main tunnel two
out to the face of the cliff, where people
will be given view of the greatest
waterfall on earth. 1t may be found i'm
possible to carry out this plan because OF
the spray cloud that may be found there.
Under these conditions s11 all til the :. work SrS
been contended that there is a terrific
force of compressed air back of the
Horseshoe. Should this force be tapped
it would drive back through any tunnel
that might be driven with awful force,
carrying death to all caught there. As
it is we'll known that the Horseshoe fall
is constantly wearing away, this contem-
plated feat of tunneling back of the
Horseshoe must of necessity assist in the
future destruction of the cataract. The
scenic tunnel will be lighted with cleo
tricity, and it may be that the new tunnel
will make it possible to develop wonderful
electric effects back of the sheet
of water. Powerful searchlights operated
there may yet form a feature of the night
beauty of Niagara, but this remains to be
demonstrated. The view that will be
opened by the tunnel will be what might
be termed an interior one, and the human
eve may long to linger and follow the
curve of the ocean of water that pours
down from Lake Erie

WAITING.

(By John Burroughs.)
Serene I fold my hands and wait
Nor care for wind, or tide, or sea,
1 rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For 10! my own shall come to me.
l stay my haste, l make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
l stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face
Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends l seek are seeking me,
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if I stand alone?
l wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it has sown,
And garner up its fruit of tears.
The waters know their own, and draw
The brooks that spring in yonder
heights,
So flows the good with equal law,
Unto the soul of pure delight.
The stars come nightly to the sky,
The tidal wave unto the sea,
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
Can keep my own away from me.

wHooPING UP LOON CREEK.
Another Company to Be Organized
Here-Prospectors Entering Camp.

A letter from Custer, Ida. dated Satur-
day last, says that Clarence f. Eddy
editor of the Prospector and discoverer
of the famous Lost Packer property on
Loon creek, has just returned from that
locality, where he has finished locating a
new group of twelve claims for a Salt
Lake and Custer combination. The new
property is thought to be an extension of
the Lost Packer lode and from a twenty
foot vein good values in gold were OBJ
tanned. The writer says it is the inten-
ton to incorporate the property under
the laws of Utah as the Golden Giant
Mining company and list the shares on
the Salt Lake mining exchange Josiah
Barnett, j. A. Czizek and other Salt
Lakers are said to be Interested.
Men are now leaving Custer for the new
camp daily and scores of locations are be-
ing made. Snow will be hindrance to
intelligent prospecting until the latter
part of May, but for all that, the letter
says, the boom is now on and by the
time summer arrives. hundreds of men
will be prospecting the region for other
Lost Packers.

OBITUARY.
Common.

Thomas J. Connor, cousin of General
P. Z. Conner, and an early settler of
Salt Lake, died at his home in this city
last Thursday of paralysis. He was
stricken while at work at Park City
and was brought to this city several
days ago for treatment. But the dis
ease could not be conquered.
Mr.. Connor who was 81 years of age,
came to Utah first in 1866, making the
trip across the plains by team. He
went on through to California and then
returned to Virginia City, New, where
he engaged in mining from SO to so.
He returned to Utah and then moved
to Butte, Mont. For the past fourteen
years he has been mining in Park City.
He leaves a wife and four children to
mourn his loss.
The funeral was held from St Mary's
cathedral on Saturday afternoon. The
large number of friends attending and
a profusion OF flowers attesting the love
and esteem in which he was held by
all.
He died surrounded by his family, a
loving wife and good, devoted children,
in whose hearts will ever linger the
fondest memories of a noble, Christian
husband and father. To the bereaved
ones is sincerely extended the SYM
pathy of all. May his soul and the
souls of all the faithful departed rest
in peacei

Comfort can be enjoyed only by
those whose money affairs cause no
worry. To be comfortably rich is an
ideal condition, enjoyed by few, and
yet within the reach of all. A st aady
income from money invested in safe
securities is a source OF comfort and
pleasure. When that income is sufficient
to live on, the possessor is as rich as
any one can possibly be. There is no
need then to work or worry, and there
is time for the higher aims and pleas
ures of life. Happily, too, such invest
ments are in the long run more profit
able than speculations. Our first mort
gage securities, netting per cent per
annum, are the safest and best paying
investments in the world. The investor
holds the security and we do the work.

The Man who Arrived.
CNew York Sum

Christopher Columbus is one of the
greatest historic examples of that type of
the creature called man which works,
overcomes obstacles by working. keeps
on working instead of laying off under
Encouragement, and, finally, persistent
work gets there.
Most Americans whose lives are not
a continual holiday are at work to get
somewhere or other The way to arrive
is to keep hard at it.
The best way to celebrate the day par
ticularly connected with the arrival of
Mr.. Columbus is for his beneficiaries to
continue it as a legal workday, not to
pretend to honor that energetic gentle
man by loafng in his name.
