CRIPPLE CREEK
TUNNEL OPENED

Cripple Creek. Colo. Sept. 6.-The
main feature of to-day's strike situa-
ton was the final completion Of the
Ell Paso tunnel. At exactly three min
utes after II O'Clock this morning wa
ter began to flow from the mouth of
the Big Four. Half an hour previous
she great whistle on the Ell Paso be-
gan to blow and 1t could be heard In
nearly every portion of the camp. and
many other mines helped to swell out
the noise.
There were probably fifty people at
the mouth of the tunnel. including two
armed Ell Paso mine guards, when the
water began to flow through the con-
Quits. A large mass of debris of, every
description came out ahead Of the
stream. The water was very muddy.
and II was estimated by the engineers
that the flow amounted to 1000 gall
Ions a minute. This soon found its
way to Cripple creek, and 1t soon
swelled that modest little stream to a
fair-sized river. Only one bulkhead
has been taken out. and that is at the
Ell Paso shaft. which is AGO feet from
the mouth OF the. tunnel. The breast
of the tunnel, however, is now $3.50
feet. or nearly one mile from the
mouth. II all avenues OF escape for the
water had been opened. It was feared
that come damage would be done to
the tunnel. 1t will be slowly regulated
and increased.
The drainage tunnel required about
seven months work, and when the
strike was declared few weeks ago,
nearly all the men employed on 1t quit
work. 1t was then nearly completed.
The mine owners determined to finish
the work with non-union men and then
employed fifteen or twenty armed
guards to protect both the Ell Paso
mine shaft house as well as the drain
age tunnel. and at headquarters to-
night they are very jubilant over COM
pletiOn Of the work. This tunnel will
be used exclusively As q drainage tun-
mel and y will unwater most Of the
mines situated on Beacon, Raven and
Gold hills. The money was subscribed
for the work by such corporations Is

ney. Anaconda and Doctor Jack Pot,
and half dozen other smaller cor
porations.

herself i'll enough TO go to bed. but she is
far from being able to do her work without
tho greatest exhaustion. This is a very
common sight and is almost always due to
pelvic catarrh.
1t is worse than foolish for 50 many
women 10 suffer year after with disease
that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. II
cures old chronic cases as well as a slight
attack. the only difference being in the
length of time that il should take to effect
a cure.
