Dirt Is flying on the new Cripple
Creek drainage tunnel. The tunnel
board held meeting In Colorado

President s. s. Bernard then an.
nounced to tho other members Of the
board that work on the big bore was
actually begun yesterday. when he ar.
ranged to have the assessment work
for this year done on the tunnel claim.
Instructions were Issued by the com
mittee to-day to continue this work.
and the tunnel will now be rushed to
completion.
Approximately 3iOo. 900 has been act,

will construct the tunnel to what Ia
known az the contact. from which
point II Ii the intention to continue II
to the eastern end OF the camp. The
additional work will entail an expendi'
ture OF as much money. but az this has
been practically pledged. President
Bernard expresses the opinion that the
bore will be built as originally planned.
and that ut least Ss25.00 will be spent.
While that amount has been pledged,
the original pledges were allowed to
lapse. which explains the decision of a
few days ago to raise half OF the money
and build the tunnel Us far as the con
tact and then arrange to extend II 10

OF the money pledged. SI50.0O0 has
been subscribed by the mining com

the beginning of the work on a scale
