Rapid Progress IN The Newhouse.

All previous records for tunnel driving
in the Newhouse tunnel were broken in
the month Of May by the crews of men
under Contractor s. A. Knowles, the
heading OF the big bore being advanced
a distance OF 300 feet in the thirty y-one
working days, says the Idaho Springs
SiftinRs. This progress was made posi-,
BILE by the bonus system under which
the contractor receives a premium. FOR
every foot driven in excess ,,of 2C0 feet
each month, and which y sdisLributed
pro rata with the machine men, helpers,
powder men and muckers, in addition to
their regular compensation. The rock
through which the tunnel heading has
been driven during the past month has
been Of an exceptional character. No
hard bars we're encountered, but instead
there were dykes Of porphyry. granite
and schIst, and number Of feeders or
fissures. The average daily footage dur
ing the month Of May was 9.3 feet. the
tunnel being driven 5xs feet, or single
track size. The best previous record
daily average footage was made in the
month Of February, 1902. when the tun-
mel heading, Sx9 feet, or doubie-track
size, was driven 267 feet, or an average OF
90 feet daily.
The best previous record for monthly
footage was made in March, 1902, when
the face Of the tunnel was driven for.
ward 277.6 feet, the double track size.
The record OF the past month eclipses
this by 12.4 feet for the singe track size.

Grand Central Soon 10 Be Steadq Shipper.

Operations on the 500-foot level OF the
Grand Central mine, on Gunnell hill,
have developed-about 10 feet from the
shaft-a FIVE foot vein Of ore running, on
an average, between 5000 and $1,000 per
ton for the entire width Of tho vein. The
shoot has been opened up for about 30
feet and shows high grade ore in the
breast, with every indication OF improv-
ing as the breast IS extended.
Up to the present time no stoping has
been done and consequently no ore has
been shipped except what was taken out
in running the DRIFT. Within the next
week, however, it is the intention OF the
management to put on force in the
slopes and, owing to the width OF the
vein, there will be no difficulty in pro.
ducing large tonnage while still con.
tinuing the drift.
The mine is ably managed, we'll equip
ped with building and machinery, and
has tramway connections. The building
is 80 arranged that ore can be dumped
into the tramway cars without shovel
ing. These features, together with the
unusual width Of vein, make the Grand
Central capable OF ranking with the big
shippers OF the camp.

TWO REPORTED DEAD|
John Bray and John Brewer sufilcated by
Foul AIr In The Shaft Of the Saratoga
This Afternoon.
IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH THE MEN At PRESENT

Coroner A. G. Asquith was summoned
to the Saratoga mine in Russell Gulch
shortly after l o'clock this afternoon,
where it is supposed John Bray and
John Brewer, two miners, have been
overcome by gas. The men were down
the shaft putting in timbers and as they
did not come up during the noon hour,
the men on top became alarmed and
thought something must have gone
wrong down in the workings. Several
attempts we're made to reach the men,
but the air was 80 bad, those going
down from the top had to return. The
compressors were put to work and air
pumped to the point where the men had
been working, with the hopes Of clearing
the shaft Of gas. AS Bray and Brewer
had been down the mine several hours
and had not been reached at two o'clock
this afternoon, the supposition is that
they are dead. Nothing definite could
be learned up to the hour OF going to
press, as the air in the shaft had not
been clearified sufficiently for man to
60 down the mine. Both Bray and
Brewer reside in Russell Gulch and
have many friends and acquaintances in
the county.

FlREMEws TOURNAMENT, DRILLING CONTEST.

Enough money has has already been
subscribed toward the Fourth Of July
celebration to insure the committee of
its success. While all the bushes houses
have not been solicited as yet, these, it
is an assured fact will give willingly, and
they therefore have been left until the
latter part Of the week when the COM
mittee will finish the work Of soliciting.
Other work in connection with the event
has occupied the time and attention of
those who are arranging the details Of
the celebration.
The committee has decided to give a
two days celebration-the 3rd and 4th.
With what money has been subscribed
and that which will be given it is ex-
pected that sum upwards Of 81 700 will
be raised. or this amount the city will
give $4,000. Large posters have already
been printed advertising the event and
the celebration will be pushed from
now until the 4th.
The program, while including many Of
the attractions OF last year will be
changed as much as possible and many
new features will be added. OF course,
there will be the rock drilling and ore
shoveling contests, base ball games, fire.
mems tournament and the countless ath-
letic sports. For these good prizes will
be offered which will be an inducement
for many to enter the contests. On the
night Of the Fourth grand Illuminated
masked street parade will be held. This
will be one Of the finest exhibitions of
illuminated professions ever given in this
city. Enough colored lights and Ro-
man candles have been ordered to enable
the parade to last two or three hours.
AS wind. up to the celebration mask
ed ball will follow.
I Now that it is known for a certainty
that thers kill be celebFation in this
city on 93rd and 4tb, everyone should
CO onerate with the committee and lend
what assistance they can toward max.
ing the event an unprecedented success.
Write to your friends in the neiRhboring
towns and tell them Of the big time We
are going to have on the anniversary OF
the nations freedom. Don't make ar
rangements to spend the 4th away from
home as you will be missing an event
that will go down in the city's history as
the grandest patriotic demonstration
ever held in these parts.

dramatic composition OF the poets Of
years ago such as "Comus," which was
presented at the opera house Tuesday
evening by the graduates Of the class of
1908, supported by chorus of fifty fem.
mime voices. Doubtless everyone has
read the poem, "Comus," written by
John Milton. Centuries ago the play
was presented for the entertainment Of
tho nobility Of Britain and it was dem.
onstratsd by the applause OF approval
received from Tuesday evenings audi
ence that what pleased the nobility of
England in the dramatic line in 1884
was equally pleasing to the residents of
Central City in 1905.
x play for presentation more intricate
and more difficult to act than "Comus,"
could not have been selected and the
able and clever manner in which each of
the participants acted their parts indeed
reflected credit not only upon the cast
but the director, Prof. j. H. Barker.
Mr.. Barker worked indefatigabIy in
training the class and should feel highly
rewarded for his efforts, considering the
manner in which the play was received
by the audience.
