NO CHANNEL TUNNEL.

England and Scotland prefer to re-
main an island. At any rate the gov
eminent fresh from the people has
decided to oppose he bill providing
for a railroad tunnel between England
and France, and what Premier Camp
defeat. After a mild agitation of many
years the bill is practically dead.
This result is strictly sentimental,
for no tunnel would endanger. Eng
lands insular position a particle. When
q single boom would prevent an in
vasion-when the head of a tunnel
could become the target of a concen-
trated and deadly fire of big guns and
little guns it is idle to say hat the
construction of a tunnel would bring
new hazards to the tight little isle.
It would not, but sentimentally
speaking England prefers her splendid
isolation to annexation, for q tunnel
would annex her to the continent in g
practically continuous manner. Hour.
lily trains would &c to and fro, and nc
water would intervene. The sea would
be banished from sight and sound, and
in about 40 minutes the traveller would
pass from the chalk cliffs Of the on
country to the chalk cliffs of the Other
country. The night birds would no
know. whom they were in France. and
when they were in England.
England wants mono Of this. Thil
would render her common and incon.
spicuous. She has got along very vel
~ an island eve since the days of tn.
Conqueror, . thousand years ago, and
she proposes to keep the sea between
herself and the rest OF the world. Shs
prefers Dreadnoughts to tunnels. and
Sea rivalry to chew-chew cars. And
she il right, no doubt, sentimentally
and nautically. and that IL % far a
she IL 1t present inclined to 60.

SHIP FINE RETORTs
Jefferson. Calhoun Prop critics
Increasing Output Daily
Ore Good Grade.

The Jefferson-C Calhoun properties on
Quartz hill are rapidly being placed in
condition to output heavy tonnage and
the amount of ore mined is being in
creased daily. On the West Calhoun,
which is 400 feet deep, the various lev
els are showing up well. Good-sized
crevices are being worked and the mill
and smelling ores extracted are both of
good grade. The smelling ore in par
ticular runs well, averaging over 800 a
ton to the carload. Large retorts are
being deposited with the local banks
from the mill dirt every few days. This
week $50 ounces of gold were cleaned
up from the mill dirt of the West Cal
houn.
The jefferson, also owned by the JEFF
ferson-Calhoun people, is now down
about 45O feet A station has been cut
at the 40O-foot point and drifting east
and west on the vein has been started.
Good ore of a copper and lead variety
has been opened up on this vein. The
40O-foot level will be run to connect
with the other shafts on the jefferson.
On the East Calhoun, operated by a
separate company from the Jefferson
Calhoun-C Calhoun Tunnel company
drifting and stoping is under way. The
workings of the property have been un-
watered several weeks and the shaft
has practically been rebuilt from the
surface down to the present depth of
1000 feet. The entire shaft not only
had to be repaired but the work of put
ting all the levels in proper shape had
to be accomplished. At the 1,OOO-foot
point an electric hoist will be installed
and sinking will be prosecuted to the
tunnel lateral, connecting with the New
house tunnel. Six hundred feet below
the present depth will have to be sunk
before the lateral is reached. The lat
eral from the Newhouse is now in !, 900
feet and will be run to connect with the
other shafts of the properties operated
BY the Calhoun Tunnel company and the
Jefferson Calhoun company.

propositions in the state and when the
lateral is driven the required distance,

made, the two companies will have
enough ground to work to warrant con-

OLD MINE
Denver Mining Men Lease
the Rails County-O Other
Notes.

H. A. Hart of Denver, was an arrival
yesterday morning to look after the
Rails County mine. This mine was
leased recently by Mr.. Hart and E. H.
Pearl, also of Denver. The property
was started last week, when miners
were put to work cleaning out the
levels. A lot of milling ore was broken
in the workings and this is being taken
out for shipment. The ore carries very
good values and there is good sized
quantity. The mine contains water up
to the 40O-foot level. The shaft is 700
feet in depth and as soon as the water
is hoisted additional depth will be sunk.
The Rails County has been idle about
year. When operations were sus-
pended the property was left in very
good shape, the machinery and other
top equipment being in good condition
for the present operators to resume
work. Only small force of miners is
now at work, but the number will be
increased as soon as the levels are clean
ed out and what timbering that is neces-
sary to be done has been accomplished.
The Denver parties who now have
possession of the Rails County COM
mence work with very encouraging
outlook for making money. This mine
has produced some very rich ore and is
located in one of the best sections in
the county. 1t is on the same vein as
the famous California mine and adjoins
the Sugar Tit, both of which have yield
ed handsomely.

BIG SHOW AT IDAHO
Central City Elks' Minstrels
Play to a Large Audience
in Idaho Springs.

1t was a most cheerful crowd that
boarded the train last Friday evening
to make the trip to Idaho Springs,
where the Elks of this city were to pre-
sent their minstrel performance. With
the large number participating in the
show, including the orchestra of sixteen
pieces, together with those who went
over to witness the performance, the
train was pretty well filled. Among
those who took the trip and not con-
nected with the minstrels, were:
H. A. Hicks, L. J. Williams, Herman
Lundberg, Mrs. JIM. Hannah, Florence
Flynn, Lena Hepburn, Mrs. John
Hamllik, Rev. w. H. DuMoulin, George
Lewis, Velma Mayor, Rosa Nolan and
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Totman.
The Siftings of Idaho Springs speaks
very complimentary of the minstrels as
will be seen by the following which ap-
peared in the issue of Saturday:
"a Night in Japan" in conjunction
with the minstrel performance, the
characters furnished by the Central
City lodge of Elks, taxed the capacity of
the local opera honse last evening, and
it is safe to say that not family in this
city, but what was represented.
Our friends from over the hill came
by special train arriving at 7:45 o. clock,
about 125 strong, were accorded vo-
ciferous and cordial reception at the
bo ordc of tho Ioco1 LlLe ,nJ o;t;,aoe <xo,,
orally. Every available seat in the
opera house had been reserved long be-
fore the first curtain call was made, and
the capacity of the local play house
even in standing room was at prem
ium.
The performance surpassed any ANA
teur efforts witnessed in this city in re-
cent years and reflects great credit upon
the histrionic and musical talent of our
good neighbors over the ridge. To in
dividualize would be absolutely useless
as there were no weak spots in any part
Of the program, the whole going to
make up an evenings amusement sell
dom equalled by professionals.
Not the least pleasing feature of the
visit on the part Of our neighbors was
the friendly interchange of fluctuations
and the elimination of county lines and
the spirit of petty jealousies exist
ing heretofore, as residents on either
side of the dividing line We'd with each
other in mutual admiration realizing
that the same sunshine and fate awaits
us all.
Following the performance the entire
audience was given an opportunity to
participate in worship at the shrine of
Terpsichore and this feature was equal
ly as enjoyable as the stage perform
ance allowing an interchange of friend
ships which could be enjoyed in no other
way.
Our Central City friends were accom-
panied to the train by local citizens
about 2:30 and the relationship estab-
lished at that time will become of life
standing.
