HOW THE TUNNEL PROGRESSES

The following is from the Montrose
Enterprise and shows how well the
work on the great tunnel is progress
ing:
At both ends of the Gunnison tun-
mel they are making things hum this
month and the chances are that they
will break more rock during June
than for several months. At River
Portal they have n credit of 90 feet
heading for the first twelve days of
the month and at West Portal III
feet. We will chance a guess that the
June footings will show a total of
about 425 feet. The following re-
port came from there yesterday:
River Portal .........G G,744 feet
West Portal .....1 1911 feet

Ccnfesses to Mailing Threaten
ing Letters.

Denver, Oct. 12-Kemp V. Bigelow
the young clerk from Bryan, O., who
mailed dynamite packages to Governor
Ruchtel ard several other prominent
citizens or Denver, has confessed that
he was also the author of letters mail
ed On Aug % last to the burlington
railroad end the Moffatt road, the Ad-
ans Expr>ss company, the Daniels 4
Fisher Stores company, the May Shoe
and Clothing company and to Post
master Soures demanding amounts va
rying from $4,000 to 10000, and ag-
gregating $4,000.
Suspicion was attracted to BigelCW
by the similarity between the hand
writing in the threatening letters and
the addresses on the Internal machine
mailed this week to Governor Buchtel
and others. At first Bigelow denied
the accusation that he wrote the back
mailing letters, but he finally broke
down and confessed. He will be
turned over to the Federal authorities

Cats For the PLAQUE Rats.

Twelve cats embarked recently on
board the Kincraig at Victoria docks.

mission They are going to make a
fight against the plague and to try to
succeed where medical science has
met with not very great success. The
cats we're sent under the care Of the
Salvation Army authorities and came
from a cats home at Hammers1nith-
They are being sent to The army colony
at Muktipa under the special care of
a Russian member of the army. Each
cat has separate cage. Their menu
on the voyage is likely to meet with
their entire approval. Large cans Of
sardines were taken for their exclusive
use as well as tins of behring's, fifteen
large tins of condensed milk. some New
Zealand mutton. forty pounds Of rice
and. among variety Of other delica'
cies. several boxes Of puppy biscuits
The plague commission in India proved
last year that plague is spread by raj
fleas. The cats will. it Is hoped. grad
ually kill the rats. and thus eventually
exterminate the chief medism by
which the bacillus is communicated
from enc being to another.

CAMP CHANGED.
This Is Done In Expectation Of
Baering a Bear.

Stam;.oul, la, Oct. 12.-Roosaveit
came, II Monticello crossing Of Bayou
Tcnsas, has passed INFO history. The
president has a new camp near New
elton. in TeHsas parish, on d branch
Of the Iron Mountain railway.
The change Of location was decided
on not only because no bear had been
killed, but because the presidents
friends became convinced that there
were none, or pra, ally none, on the
upper Tensas. They had threShed the
woods covering the entire country
around the Monticello crossing, and
| it is still a matter OF doubt whether
| any fresh signs Of the presence Of
the bruin family have been discover
ed. Some old tracks have been found.
and Ben Iilley has ,iiscerned what he
believes TO be few traces of more re
cent appearance, but these are so rare
and far apart that they did not justify
remaining in that vicinity. No mem
Der of the party has secured the re
hottest glimpse Of q bear nor have
any of the forty dogs, with which they
| are Suppt1eu SNi tta at 1IiJ tint "a W ~
defined bear trail. Son ncertain, in
deed, are the reports that Mr., Parker
emphaticaily expresses the opinion
that there are DO bear where the hunt
has heretofore been conducted
The president accepts the situation
phil0sophicaily. He pointed out that
If other game than bear had been de
sired it could easily have been secured.
and in conformation of this suggest
ton that if deer were wanted score
might have as easily been killed as one
Many bob cats have also been SIGHTED.
but as long as there was any chance
of getting bear the disposition was not
to shoot smaller animals because Oh
the fear that the noise would drive
away the big game.
The reports from Newellton are en-
couraging. Ever since the president
arrived IL this section he has been
receiving letters telling him that there
were plenty OF bear within few miles
Of that town, and when MI Parker
came into the railroad station he sec,n'e
ed confirmation Of these statements
over the long distance telephone. The
failure of the present hunt causes him
to regard these promises with some
degree of allowance. but he, and the
president, as we'll. decided that the
only way to settle the matter definitely
was to make personal investigation.
The new camp is on Bayou Tensas,
as was the old, but forty miles south
of the present site. and it is twelve il

: in that section claim that the boar
: have been run out of the upper coun-

gion in which there has been less dis
; turbance. Only Ben Lilley, Holt Col
lier and the Metcalf brothers Of the
g professional hurte were taken south
| Jack Powell, the negro cook, is also
attached to the new camp. Most OF
I the horses and dogs and some tents
! were likewise removed.
: Friday was devoted to searching the
g woods between the railroad and Bayou
Tensas for wild cats.
