Surfacc-Expcctcd VIII Enable Dis
trict TO Double Present Record

Cripple Creek. Colo, May 1.-THE
building of the great Cripple Greek
drainage tunnel, inaugurated today by
the governor of the state and dis
tinguished visitors, marks an epoch
in the history of the famous gold camp.
About IA years ago Winfield Scott
Stratton. a Colorado Springs carpenter.
began spending his scaut earnings IN
prospecting some outcroppings in the
Cripple Greek COW pasture. on the
Fourth Of July. 1891, he located a claim
on a vein which gave him rich assays
and he called that claim the hide
pcndence. he subsequently located
many other claims in that neighhor-
hood and few years ago sold his prop
erty 10 an English syndicate for $40, 0OO,
OVO, after extracting many millions from
IT himself. In the succeeding years this
Cripple Creek COW pasture was trans
formed into booming mining camp.
When the high grade ore bodies on
the known veins had been extracted
down to the 5OU-foot point the water
troubles Of the district began. \ drain
age tunnel was therefore conceived and
eventually driven to cut the main wa
ter courses of the district at a depth of
coo feet but that tunnel was not deep
tunnel level and water troubles were
again encountered. After months of
investigation IL was determined to drive
a deep drainage tunnel which would
drain the camp AZ great depth. The cost
of such an undertaking is enormous,
approNimating 100000
The mine owners, the citizens of Colo
rado and the railroads and shelters.
joined forces and contributed TO the
raising of fund sufficient To drive
the tunnel. The work was started q
few weeks ago and Is progressing as
fast as men and money can carry it for
ward.
The portal of the tunnel is located
on the stream known as Cripple Creek
and is situated at an elevation of 5000
feet above sea level II VIII drain the
entire Cripple Creek district at a depth
Of about 1880 feet from the surface. or
$50 feet below the present water level
The district Is drained at present by
the El Paso tunnel which cuts the III
Paso mine on the west side of the dis
uict ton Beacon hilO, at a depth of
about 600 feet from the surface and
the Nindicator mine, on the east side
OF the camp at depth of i,275 feet II
will therefore be seen that the new tun-
mel viii drain the Beacon hill section at
depth OF about $3.50 feet and the east
side at depth of about 1000 feet from
the surface.
The deepest SHAFT in the camp is now
about 1900 feet. The new tunnel will
therefore make available all the way
from 700 TO 1900 feet of additional
ore bodies below the present water
level ana this win add millions in pro-
duction

portal to the main contact near the Ell
