Drainage Tunnel Assured.

The much-talked of drainage tunnel
for the cripple Creek district is an
early certainty as a result of meet
ing in this city to-day of the mine own
ers, announcement of which was made
last Monday, says the Colorado Springs
correspondent of the Denver Republi-
can. The operators at Cripple Creek
have decided to go ahead, even with
out the cooperation of Giddings and
Lennox, owners of the Strong and
Ajax mines, who have thus far re-
fused to subscribe toward the project,
believing that the tunnel would not
benefit their properties.
At to-day's meeting assurances were
received of the positive backing of the
Findley. Vindicator. El Paso. Elkton,
Golden Cycle. Mary Mckinney, Gran
lite and Portland companies. These,
together with smaller subscriptions.
will approximate 100000 No sub
scription list is yet compiled, but the
money will be raised at once, steps
will be taken toward the construction
of the tunnel and 1t Is not improbable
that work will begin In from thirty to
sixty days.
1t was estimated that the tunnel
would cost from $S00.000 to 81, 900 900.
The $500 900 already in sight will COM
plete the drainage of the west side
properties and partially drain those
mines in the eastern part Of the dis
trict.
What is known as the Window Rock
tunnel, recommended by Engineer d.
w. Brunton, with It's portal at Window
Rock in Cripple Creek, will be used.
Following are the statistics of the tun-
mel:
Portal to El Paso shaft. 1920 feet;
to Black Belle shaft. 1S,200 feet: to
tunnel, 1860 feet; depth below portal
of present tunnel, i,13O feet; below
tunnel shaft, LAO feet; from Black
Belle shaft to Vindicator (the termi-
nus), II, $40 feet, making total of 29,-
$40 feet from portal to Vindicator.

SCHlFFER DECISION.
Wealthy New York Brother Not Held
Liable,

Pueblo, Colo.-According to de-
cision handed down Thursday by Judge
Riner in the United States Court, Her
man Schiller was not a member of the
firm of H. Schiller & Bro. owning the
defunct Bank of Alamosa at the time
the institution closed its doors.
Judge Riner in effect held that the
connection of Herman Schiller with
the firm of H. Schiller & Brother, had
not been proven. The court held that
the burden of proof of an existing part
nership must rest with the petitioners
and that so far as the evidence was
concerned, this had been of a negative
character. The fact that the firm name
of II. Schiller e Brother had been con-
tinued after Herman Schiller had dis
posed of his interests to Abraham and
Isaac Schiller, could not be regarded
as evidence of partnership from the
fact that authorities had held that the
firm name of a concern was portion
of its assets and that through the pur-
chase of the business and good will Of
the firm Of Fl. Schiller & Brother, the
purchasers had succeeded to the firm
name also.
Herman Schiller was consequently
released and discharged from all re-
SDOnS1Dlllty IN the matter, WDlle ADTd-
ham and Isaac w. Schiller were ad-
adjudged bankrupt according to the
prayer Of the petition Of the creditors.
This decision releases Herman Schif-
fer from liability of about 100000.
which as director Of the Alamosa
bank he had been sued for by deposit
tors.
The proceedings grew out OF the
failure of the Bank Of Alamosa which
was owned by the Schiffers, Isaac and
Abraham. The case In court was to
determine whether Herman Schiller OF
New York, who is said to be wealthy
manufacturer, was actually member
of the banking firm. The failure was
most sensational and created much bit
terness against the Schiffers. Abra-
ham, the active head Of the bank.
was brought to Pueblo from Alamosa
in order to insure protection and to
await a hearing in the federal court.
The failure occurred In October,
1905. Out Of deposits Of more than
100000 in the bank. at the time, less
than 32.50O was found by the receiver.

Ohio City Progress.

A Denver News special from Ohio
City, Gunnison county, says: The Ray
mond is now employing a force of
forty men in the mine and full force
in the mill, which is proving a great
success. The average gross output of
the mill is about $500 a day, and this
will be materially increased when the
ores from the upper works are put
through. From 81 to 81 in gold is now
caught on the plates from every crude
ton of ore. The mill is automatic in
every respect. and requires but four
men to handle it in the twenty-four
hours run. which is being made every
day. All the ore now being handled is
taken from the lower works, but in n
few days the extraction of ore from
the hill works will begin.
Some excellent ore from the Grand
Prize is being loaded, and will be
shipped as soon as the road Is opened
up. About twenty tons are now In the
bins, and the amount Is being in
creased daily. In the mine three drifts
have been run. the north one being
about $50 feet, the south being 1G0 feet,
and the other 2G0 feet. Good ore is be-
ing stopped out for shipment from all
three.

The perseverance of the Cyanide
fellows" cannot but meet with the
hearty appreciation of all who have the
future of the camp at heart, says the
Cripple Creek Times. Their constant
experimenting is lowering the cost Of
treatment of the millions of tons Of
low-grade ore in the camp with each
apparent failure. The time Is certain
to come when success unqualified will
crown their efforts. and the value Of
the districts output will be enhanced
by percentage SO great that no one
can foretell It. The small cyanides
were out Of business completely during
March, but FIVE or possibly six Of these
expect to be ready for business during
April.

Even supposing that the official sta,
| ustics for 1905, when completed, prove
| not to exceed $45, 100000, that will be
| an encouraging increase over 1904.
| AS to the outlook for 1906, notwith
| standing the fact that seventy-five pei
cent. of the ore tonnage output is trib
| utary to the American Smelling and
! Refining Company, commonly known
as the "smelter trust" the general con
ditions were never more favorable for
| a large and profitable output of com,
| mercial ores as at the present time.
! General conditions. however, have
changed materially in the following re-
spect.
Practically from 1878, say to 1895,
| there was an era of the exploitation of
| large bodies of easily mined, desirable
ores in all the recognized mining dis
tricts of the state, which made large
and profitable ore production, tributary
to the then Independent and competing
smelters, at low mining rates and high
cost of mining supplies.
Those district still produce a large
ore tonnage from nominal depths, but
the extent and character of the for
mer great smelter ore supply have
iargly changed, much of it now repre-.
&
and the concentrates shipped to the
smelters, instead of higher grade crude
ore, as formerly.
Mining in practically all the dis
tricts is now a well-rounded and we'll
regulated industry. carried on practi-
cally from a manufacturing standpoint
in other words, all of the successful
mines are now thoroughly equipped
with the necessary machinery, appli-
ances and methods for maximum and
economical production.
Freight rates have in majority OF
cases been reduced to a reasonable fig
ure, and the former cost of mining sup
plies has also been materially reduced.
The Improvements in smelling have
| resulted in reasonable, though noncon-
petitive rates being offered to the ore
producer, as it is obviously the true
| policy of the smeiterS to encourage
production.
The smelter trust is, by large expen-
ditures OF money, doing it's utmost to
reduce fixed expenses and smelling
costs.
Its plants are being equipped, as fast
as capital can secure the necessary
machinery, etc. with the Huntington
Heberlein process, which is going to
TeNOlutlOHlZe tne treatment OIL all res
requiring roasting-increasing capac-
ity, reducing cost and escape in val
ues in the 1ue dust, and minimizing
injurious fumes.
The adoption by the Colorado smelt-
ers of this process has already reduced
and will reduce the cost of smelling
very materially. Whether and to what
extent the ore producer will be there
by benefited remains to be seen. What
could thereby be done in the way of re.
duction of charges to the ore producer
is question for competitive smelling
to demonstrate, or an expert to deter
mine.
To justify the prediction that Colo
rad will have, during 1906, an in
creased output, both as to tonnage and
aggregate value of cmmercial ores.
one has only to take a cursory view of
