Seven Thousand Foot Tunnel.

Colorado is to have another impor-
tant tunnel enterprise under way
shortly. according to plans of the San
Juan Development & Tunnel Company,
just organized. and which is one of the
largest launched in the Ouray district
for several years. 1t has capitaliza-
tion of 81 100000, of which S22, 900 has
already been paid into the treasury for
the purpose of commencing prelimin-
ary work. Chicago, Denver and Ouray
capital is identified with the project
Operations will be carried on in the
Paquin district north of Ouray, an i'm
mense area of territory being included
In the ground to be opened. 1000
foot tunnel on Dexter creek will be
driven through the hill toward Cutler
creek. which. together with other work
planned. will result in opening up
such properties as the Neodosha
Wedge, Pony Express, Bachelor, Cal
liope and many others. The company
is organized as a public carrier tunnel
under the eminent domain act, and will
collect toll from other companies
whose properties will be benefited.
The work on the tunnel will be started
April l. Surveys are being made and
machinerY has been ordered and will
soon be on the ground. The properties
to be opened have a good record of
production. They will be tapped on
the lower lime contact at a depth OF
500 feet. The work contemplated by
the new company will not interfere
with that being carried on by the Cal
liope Tunnel and Mines Company.

HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way In Which II May Be Identified
Before usIng.

After a building has been painted
long enough for weather test, 1t is
easy to tell if the paint used was made
of pure White Lead or not. But such
telated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants is test that will
tell the quality of the paint before it
and the labor of putting it on are
paid for.
Nature has provided way in which
genuine White Lead may be positive
ly distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me.
tallic lead. and. under intense heat,
such as is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolve itself back
into metallic lead. If, however, it Is
not genuine White Lead, or il it con-
tains the slightest trace of adultera-
ton, the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test of paint before using
1t, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the blow
pipe" or any other test. To make it
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re-
quest blow-pipe and everything nec-
essary for you to make the test, to-
gether with valuable booklet on
paint. Address, National Lead Com
pany, Woodbridge Building, New York

Cripple Creek Drill Contest.

Much interest has been aroused in
the proposed test of drills at a Cripple
Creek mine. Following the suggestion
of number OF drill companies and
mining engineers. Mines and Mining
has decided to alter the original plan,
and instead of a trial based on few
hours run, to make the test of the sto-
ping drills from twenty-one to twenty
three days. The change OF plan Is due
not only to the criticism that short
tests would be of little value. but also
to the interest manifested by many
Western mine managers In the con-
test, and their desire to use the re-
suits Of the competition as a guide in
purchasing drills.
Manager Bodfish of the Western In
vestment Company. operating some
half dozen mines and the largest leas
Ing company in the Cripple Creek dis
trict, has, In view of the fact that he
contemplates buying large number
of stope drills, offered the use of the l.
1OO-foot stope OF the Last Dollar mine.
providing that the contest will start as
soon as possible, in order that he may
know the result at an early date. 1t is
his intention to replace the present
drilling equipment of the Western In
vestment Company with stope drills,
which will involve an outlay of over
$1,000. and he states that not only will
his selection OF a drill be based upon
the showing In the contest, but also
that OF the manager of the Golden
Cycle and other Cripple Creek proper
ties.
Where a Cripple Creek miner han.
dies the drill the allowance per shift is
81. Where an outside miner is brought
in the company importing the talent
will pay his wages. 1t is expected
that rules will be agreed upon and the
contest started by May l.

season opens, he predicts that the num-
ber will be increased from 5000 to
G,000.
Mr.. Pinska says that the Guggen.
helm Exploration Company will employ
approximately 1000 men when the sea
son opens. The company owns placer
ground on Bonanza. Ell Dorado and
Hunker creeks. 1t plans to use seven
large Risdon dredges. Three were
used last season. Water for the oper.
alton of the dredges is to be brought
from Twelve-Mile creek. One of the
largest dams in the world has been
constructed on Bonanza creek to store
water. Mr.. Pinska predicts that the
coming season will be the best in the

NEWS FROM THE MINES AND MILLS.
Summit County Developments.

Lenox G. Giddings, whose millions
were made in Cripple Creek, have be-
come heavy investors in Breckenridge,
having secured property near the Well
ington mine in French gulch, says the
Montezuma correspondent of the Daily
Mining Record. 1t has been announced
that they would install dredging ma
chine to cost $125,000, and that they
would give the Mekka placer thor
ough upturning. The gold obtained in
bedrock and other operations in this
ground has furnished basis for a cal
culation that they will remove several
million dollars in the yellow metal.
The Reliance dredge, adjoining, will
probably be equipped with electric
power that the cost of its operations
may be minimized. 1t is understood
that this plant removed nuggets and
gold in other forms worth 100000
during the eight months of it's opera
tion last year.
A chunk of lead weighing several
tons and regarded as nearly pure, was
exposed in the Liberty lode of the
Wellington Mines Company last week.
Ambitious eyes looked upon it as IA
fit specimen for Democratic inspection
on the occasion of the national con-
vention in Denver next July. How
ever, its removal could not be effected
intact because of it's weight and size,
which denied passage through the
shaft. 1t is altogether probable that
pressure will be brought to bear on
officials of the Wellington company
that they may yield to a proposition
to have solid chunk of convenient
size sawed from the shoot

Has Awful Experience-His
Hazardous Trip.

Toledo, O.-Alone in the Toledo
lighthouse for six days with the corpse
of Capt. Delos Hayden, keeper Of the
light who died February 13, and a
thrilling journey of 10 miles over
treacherous ice on Lake Erie to break
the news of Hayden's death was the
terrifying experience Of Joe Berner
who. it is feared, will become a maniac
as result of his horrible ordeal.
With eyes bulging from their sock
cts and his body almost a wreck from
exhaustion, Bernor staggered into
Toledo and told his shocking story.
On Saturday, February 8, Capt. Hay
den and his cousin, Joe Bernor, start
ed for the Toledo harbor light to re-
lieve Hayden's assistant, McNulty, and
man named Jennings. who had been
keeping the lonely vigil with McNulty
while Capt. Hayden was in this city
for few days visiting his invalid
wife
Capt. Hayden was not feeling well
when he and Bernor arrived at the
lighthouse. The strenuous trip across
the ice had weakened him to great
pneumonia.
Upon Bernor fell the duty of being
physician and nurse. Such medicines
as he had at hand were administered.
Capt. Hayden was placed in a hot
bath by Bernor. who did everything
possible to save the captains life.
His efforts proved unavailing, and
early Thursday morning Hayden ex-
pired in the arms of his trusty COM
panion, with these words on his lips:

the lighthouse and opening the win

air, to retard decomposition as much

lonsed wait for an opportunity to
reach shore. The ice surrounding the
lighthouse was soft and mushy and
full of air holes.

Cripple Creeks New Era.

Returning visitors to Cripple Creek,
local people and the news dispatches
all tell the same story of renewed ac-
tivity in the great gold camp. 1t is
agreed that the mining condition was
never better. Ore is pouring out at
ratio not known in several years and
the spirit Of hope runs high through
out the district.
All this is most encouraging for
busy fall season. 1t should mean tkNt
Cripple Creek is going to fulfill the
prophecy made for 1t when the finan-
cial furry in the East brought the
threat OF long era of suspended ami
nation in most commercial lines and
the mining outlook began to brighten
In inverse ratio, as it usually does.
Then the prospect was for an active
year in Colorado mining fields and sub
sequent events have realized that
promise most admirably.
Friends of the big camp have long
predicted great things for it to follow
the penetration of the second zone be-
lieved to lie below the intermediary
or comparatively barren one. Geolog-
ical reading OF the formation accounted
for this interruption between the upper
and lower measures of the great veins.
Late disclosures at great depth in sew
eral OF the principal properties go to
Indicate that this story is correct and
that the greater Cripple Creek store
house Is now being tapped. Shafts be-
low the 1,000-foot level here and there
throughout the districts are revealing
bodies OF ore the like of which have
not been seen in years. 1t is from the
far down measures that the heavy pro-
duction Is now being made. Bonanza
stories are again being told because OF
them, and 1t is from these drifts In the
recovered zone of rich ores that the
camp is getting its new life.
Abundant evidence is now at hand to
allow 1t TO be said that the mining fu-
rore of the earlier days was only skim.
ming the surface of the greatest gold
camp on earth That was a work
quickly lone, for surface mining Is rap
idly accomplished. To get below 1000
feet with shaft is the work Of years.
Feeling tho way through tight-knit
rock at great depth, with progress
thing OF inches. hunting for ore bodies
at the restricted pace takes time, pa
tience and money. Cripple Creek has
been utilizing the elapsed time to good
advantage, patiently continuing the
search and spending its own money
with a courage backed by faith. This
perseverance on the part of its princi-
pal operators Is now beginning to bear
fruit, point the way for others, and in
fuse new hope and courage among the
weaker ones. They are again talking
OF big things, walking with their old
time swagger and any day may be find
