my expenses for going down there, and
l will not pay my own any longer" He

question Of the people being recovered
from the smallpox, aud had him die.
infect them and turn them loose. The
county health officer seems to care lit
tie whether or not the people Of the
southern portion Of the county are en-
dangered by contagious diseases. All
ne wants to hold the office for is TO
gather in the pay connected with IL.
With a smaller county the health Of
fcer would not have to travel so far,
and the people might be protected.

DRAINAGE TUNNEL.
Plan for Financing Great Cripple
Greek Project.

Colorado Springs. Colo.-The plan
suggested by the finance committee Of
the Cripple Creek Mine Owners As
'sociation to finance the projected deep
drainage tunnel was unanimously
adopted at a meeting attended by
more than score of representative
operators in this city this afternoon.
Every mining company in Cripple
Greek will be asked to contract to pay
two per cent. Of it's net mill and smell
ter returns into the tunnel fund. This
assessment will be levied upon all ore
mined through the tunnel, but will
apply only upon production of compa-
mics after July l, 1907.
The contract provides that the sum
of 100000 shall be raised by July /,
1906, work ON the tunnel to begin
within sixty days after that amount
shall have been secured. Since July /.
1907, is the time limit within which
the 100000 shall be raised, the tun-
mel will be started by September 1.
1907, at the latest and as much sooner
las the amount named shall be raised
A company to be known as the Grip
pie Creek Drainage and Tunnel Com
pany will be Incorporated in this state
with a capitalization of LOCO 900, di-
wided into 100000 shares of a par
value Of $40 each. This stock will be
offered to mine owners first, and what
ever shares are left will be placed on
the open market.
A committee Of five will be ap-
pointed to submit the contracts to
mime owners and operators at once
and to offer'stock for subscription. The
runnel plan adopted is that known as
the Window Rock" tunnel, which
Will have its portal in Window Rock
suleh, in the Cripple Creek district.

ihe Golden Cycle company, and other
East Side mining companies which at
first expressed reluctance to join the

moyer Damage Suit.

Denver-iEn the 100000 damage
suit brought against James H. Pea
body, Sherman NJ. Bell and Bulkeley
Wells m the United States District
Court by Charles Meyer, president OF
the Western Federation of Miners, for
alleged unlawful Imprisonment and
violence during the mining troubles
two years ago, Judge Rfner ruled yes
terday that the defendants had not
taken the proper mode OF fighting The
suit in filing motion for dismissal.
This, he held, could not be granted
but a demurrer should have been filed
AS a counter action to the suit. Judge
Riner is temporarily taking the place
of Jndge Hallett in the federal court.
while the latter is away Ten days
was given the defendants to file their
answer.
The amended answer of Meyer says
that the Colorado Supreme Court
erred in its former decision in sustain
ing the defendants action and further
states that n the legality of such ac-
tions is upheld by the courts of the
state the life and property of no citi-
zen in Colorado will be inviolate.

Progress Of Gunnison Tunnel

Mashington.-Since the failure OF
the original contractors on the GunIi-
son tunnel to comply with the require
mens of the government and the re-
jectisn of the second bids for the
work, the excavation has been in
charge of engineers Of the reclamation
service. Advices from Supervising En-
gineer o. II. Quinton at Montrose indi-
cate that rapid progress is being made.
November 1st the tunnel heading from
the Gunn3ason river was in 1000 feet
and the Cedar creek heading 200 feet.
making total of 400 feet.
The Gunn1son tunnel, which Is to be
completed in 1898, will be 10000 feet
in length. the longest tunnel in the
United State. II will be 10kx11h feet.
and will carry large volume of water
from the Gunnison river through the
mountain divide, 1000 feet in height,
into the Uncompabgre valley, where 1t
will be utilized for the irrigation OF
about $4,000 acres Of exceedingly fer

The Gold Pan placers at Breclsen-

The Gold Pan placers at Brecken-
ridge, which were idle last summer,
are to be operated next summer. Sew
eral of the larger stockholders have
purchased the judgments that were Sc
cured against the company and have
liquidated the local indebtedness of the
companies, the Gold Pan Mining and
the Gold Pan Engineering and Mine
Supply companies, and will reorganize
and operate the property. The judg-
ments have been assigned to Lemuel
Foster of Chicago. The property prob
ably has the most extensively equipped
plant for placer mining, with large
machine shop, two electric plants and
fine office building, in the state. AS
the heavy cost of installing the plant
and opening an acre and quarter
hydraulic placer pit, with seventy-foot
banks in the bed of the Blue river at
Breckenridge. are accomplished facts
and the value of the deposit has been
ascertained it is reasonable to expect
that under economical and efficient
management the property will be
placed on paying basis.

One of the richest finds of ore ever
made in the north end of the Cripple
Creek district is reported in the sixth
level south of the Abe Lincoln mine in
Poverty gulch. The vein is an entirely
new one to the property and was en-
countered in virgin territory, demon
strating again that the Cripple Creek
district has hardly been scratched
The ore shoot measures between six
and seven feet wide, and averages $40
to the ton. The find is remarkable in
the fact that the leanest part of the vein
yields sixty per cent. of ore, while in
many places the entire shoot, from
wall to wall. is shipped without sort
ing. The various levels are to be
driven now to cut the ore shoot. 1t is
opened sufficiently to permit of ship
ping better than carload of ore a
day. The mine is under lease to the
Tunnel Mining and Leasing Company,
which is largely owned by Milton
Smith and U. s. Hollister of Denver.

claimed to be one OF the bank robbers
who robbed the bank at Cody, Wyo-

that killed Cashier Middaugh, was ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Lyons to-day.

WAS the man who killed Middaugh,
and implicated another man who is
working below Kremmling.
Martin claims the two came from
Wyoming together. He says there
were ive connected with the robbery.
Deputy United States Marshal Joe La

Cripple Creek Drainage Tunnel.

The Cripple Creek Mine Owners
Association mt it's meeting in Colorado
Springs decided definitely to construct
the deep drainage tunnel recon-
mended by Engineer d. w. Brunton,
known as the Window Rock tunnel,
which will have its portal at Window
Rock, in Cripple Creek. A COMMITTEES
was appointed 10 report upon Il
method of financing the proposition.
which involves the expenditure Of
from $500 900 TO s1,000,000.
Following are statistics of the tun-
nell Portal to FL Paso shaft, 1920
feet; to Black Belle shaft, 1920 feet;
to tunnel shaft. 1880 feet; elevation
of tunnel. 1860 feet: depth below por-
tai of present tunnel, 1.13O feet: be
low tunnel shaft, LAO feet: from
Black Belle shaft to Vindicator, the
terminus, 1850 feet. making Il total
of 29,S4O feet from portal to Vindl-
Gator.
The cost per vertical foot drained
from the portal to the Black Belle
shaft will be $46S, while the additional
drainage to the Vindicator will
bring the total amount to from $780,
900 TO s1.000,0 900. The time of con
structing the tunnel is estimated by
Engineer Brunton as two and one.
half years to the Black Belle water
course. and approximately eighteen
months will he required for the eX-
tension to the Vindicator. The depth
gained will be 1.O9O feet.
1t is estimated that the tunnel
shaft could be sunk mt the rate of
three and one-half feet per day. with
an average of ten feet daily In the
headings. This IL much better prog.
ress than was made in the present
tunnel. This tunnel will be about ten
feet in height. and not less than seven
feet in diameter, TO provide drainage
facilities below the tracks. room for
ventilating pipe. tunnel cars, etc.
Three and one-half to four-inch air
drills will be used. instead of the
three and one-quarter drills used in
the former bore.
The coarse, blocky granite through
which the tunnel will be driven neces.
states the large dimensions men
used in all probability.
The tunnel will be called upon ut
times to carry from 10000 to $4,000
gallons OF water per minute. so that
grade OF one foot in 300 is recon.
mended by Engineer Brunton.
The headings will be driven in both
directions from the bottom OF the tnn-
mel shaft, with the pumping compart-
ment 4x5 feet. Timbers will be about
SKIS feet, four feet apart, center to
center.
1t is recommended by Engineer
Brunton to plank the tunnel and use
mules for transportation as advant-
ageous and economical over man
power. electricity and air locomotives.
The water flowing from the Cripple
Creek tunnel now In operation will
probably be used to operate an elec.
trio power plant, and surveys will be
made and water rights located. After
the completion of that tunnel the
power will be sold In the district.
In regard to the ventilation the en-
gineer points out that this problem
has been solved and that no difficulty |
need be expected. Small single open
lngs In mine drifts can be ventilated |
by force blower with success.
