THE PROPOSED TUNNEL
AT ORC FlNC


The construction of the proposed
tunnel under Monument mountain will
be welcomed by every operator in that
section. as its completion will change
the conditions which now exist, and
make mining and developing property
there comparatively inexpensive op-
GRAFTON with other sections of Colo
rado. The tunnel as proposed begins
on the eastern side of the mountain
and runs diagonaily in a Southwestern
ly direction towards the Neglected. In
depth ii will cut the various proper
ties from 500 to / 500 feet and affords
an easy way of getting the ore from
the mines to Durango From the
mouth of the tunnel to Hermosa creek
a train line two miles and a quarter
long will be necessary to bring the ore
to where a wagon road with easy
grade runs into Hermosa station on
the Denver & Rio GTande.
From a gentleman quite familiar
with that section the info1 nation Is
had that this tunnel viii cut all the
veins that run through the mountain,
as the leads apparently run northwest
and southeast, while the course of the
tunnel will be from the northeast to
the southwest
The Neglected has produced Its hun
dreds of thousands OF dollars at
depth of only 1T5 feet and the vein
which they are now working goes di-
rectly into the mountain. II is need
less 10 state that If this tunnel should
cut that vein at depth OF 500 feet,
a mine would be opened up that would
be one of the banner properties of
the state, The sole drawback to min
ing in the Oro Fino district has been
its inaccessibility, and with this diff
ficulty removed. properties now in ore
will begin shipping, to the great ben
eft of that section and Durango.

delightful affair. By reason of many

the largest of any ball given hereto

in connection with the graduation ex.

of the whole year with them. The
white gowns of the girls were dreams
of delight, and as they made the
rounds of the room to the time of the
music they presented a vision of love

The Author LeE Her n Great Name
and n Legacy of Debt.
When Nine. Hanska's husband died
II was supposed that her union with
Balzac would occur at once. but obsta-
cles were interposed by others. Her
own family looked down upon the
great French author as n mere story
teller. and by her late husbands people
sordid motives were imputed to him to
account for his devotion TO the heiress.
The latter objection was removed q
few years later by the widows giving
up 70 her daughter the fortune left TO
her by NJ. Hanska. This was followed

heart drama" as her husband calls IL,
which had lasted seventeen years"
Six months later Balzac died, and my
aunt found herself for the second time
a widow. with the burden OF her hus-
bands large debts and that OF his
great name, which she bore with such
dignity for thirty years longer. She
never spoke OF the blow his death had

TO her wishes had robbed her OF some
years Of happiness, but II It was the
case she never let any one guess it
Once only I heard her make n remark
which gave me n strange insight into
her inner life. We were talking about
happiness in general, and / observed
how very eager people were TO inter

aunt looked at me for some time. then
slowly said: II think that this comes
from the fact that so very few people
understand what real happiness it.
They mostly look upon it as a superb

Joyments OF existence. II they under

Barge Day Newcastle.

In Newcastle. England, the mayor en-
joys the privilege Of once a year being
allowed to select and kiss any young
woman who takes his fancy among
the coal city's inhabitants The kiss
Is rather costly, however, for it is the
custom to present the young person
kissed with sovereign (S5, while a
further gift is made her by the lady
mayoress, no doubt to disprove jeal-
ousy. The sheriff, not to be outdone,
also bestows a kiss upon a fair by
stander, at the same rate OF expendi-
ture. The occasion is known as Barge
day. whep the mayor and corporation
proceed in a procession OF four gayly
decorated steamers and TIVE old state
barges to claim the soil OF the river
Tyne. Their journey over, the mayor
stands upon the boundary stone, and Il
Is here that the kissing is INDUCED IN.
