Manager George X. Kimball at Idaho
Springs states that it will require sew
eral months more to complete the in.
stallation of the counter balance hoist
in the Old Town mine and the elec-
trical equipment for operating trolleys
in the Hot Time lateral. The work has
interfered with mining below the six.

mine the ore is TO be handled with the

Railroad For Montezuma.

While several railroads are pro-
jected into the Montezuma district,
there Is a possibility that the line TO
traverse the Wider tunnel will be the
first to reach 1t, says the correspond
ent OF the Daily Mining Record.
The Wider tunnel, 1t may be ex-
planned, lacks but 5000 feet of com
ipletion and with machine drills eating
their way through from two sides OF
the continental divide. the period of
connection should not be remote.
1t is probable that the tunnel and
the rest of the distance between
Georgetown and Montezuma will be
traversed by the Argentine Central
road, otherwise the Gray's Peak route.
owned by E. ]. Wilcox and others. 1t
is possible that the Vidler tunnel peo-
pie will build the railroad they have
projected. The Wilcox railroad. in
connection with the Colorado & South
ern, Is designed to cut the distance
to Denver in half. making 1t some
thing like sixty miles. After leaving
the Vidler tunnel ut the west portal
the Wilcox road would cross the Ruby
Mountain property on its way into
Montezuma from where branches
would prob ably reach out to many sec
tions of the district like fingers from
hand.
A competitor for the honor and
profit OF reaching camp first Is vested
In another interest who would build
from Keystone. This competitor en-
joys some advantage In having two
thirds of the grade completed. The
builder to reach camp first Is promised
a large revenue from the movement OF
machinery and supplies In and from
the outward movement OF ore, Of which
vast quantities is blocked out and
ready. That the road that reaches
camp first fares handsomely has been
evidenced in many fields. notably In
Cripple Creek. from which the Flor
ence 4 Cripple Creek earned some
thing like 60 per cent during the first
year Of its operation and literally af-

Cripple Creek February Output.

The output of the Cripple Creek gold
mining district for February amounted
to 5S,222 tons of a gross bullion value
of $l.242,3l3. AS compared with the
figures of the corresponding month OF
1907 gain in tonnage is recorded OF
1922 tons. with an increase in value
of $107,23S.
The month was a fortunate one for
lessees and number of strikes were
recorded on Bull, Gold, Raven, Beacon
and Tenderfoot hills and Battle and
Squaw mountains.
The number of miners at work Is
greater than at any time since the
labor trouble, and at conservative
estimate 3,400 miners are employed.
The figures as obtained from the
representatives of the smelters and
mills are as follows:

Los. Man Slept Week In Hay.

Elyria. O.-The disappearance of
William Fernit from Amherst was
strangely solved week later when
Charles Schultz, removing hay from
his NOW, ran a fork into the missing
man. who awoke, apparently in good
health.
Fernit had last been seen near log
that served as footbridge over a
swollen stream, and 1t was supposed
he had fallen from the log and
drowned. The creek was dragged and
searched all the way to the lake with.
out results. Fernit says he fell into
the stream. but dragged himself out
and made for the nearest barn. There
he found quantity OF hard cider.
with which he restored his circulation,
then crawled into the hay and knew
nothing until his rude awakening. He
supposed that he had merely slep,

The guests all were seated, and
were awaiting the arrival of the bridal
couple. when Mr.. Spooler. the best

first all was CONSERVATION. The Wis
ftors could not imagine what was the
matter. Then Mr.. Spooler announced
that the wedding would take place in
the dark, save for a candle which
would be placed in such a position that
the minister could see his lines.
Presently the bride and groom ap-
peared at a side door. They quickly
stepped to their places, where. by the
uncertain light of the candle, their
faces scarcely could be seen. The
minister spoke the few words that
made them one. and, before the bewil-
dered guests were aware of what had
happened. the happy couple escaped
from the room and entered carriage.
They were driven to the depot, where
they boarded train for the east.
When the carriage left the house the
lights were turned on. Every corner
of the house was searched, but no
trace of the runaway couple could be
found. Mrs. Fontaine not only had
hidden her bushes. but she had pre-
vented any one seeing her wedding
gown. although it was just as beauti
full rs it would have been had the
wearer consented to a wedding in the

Youth Declines Dusky Maiden-Is
Badly Injured by Heroic Feat and
Tribe Holds Dance to Aid
His Recovery.

Bliss, Okla.-John Cudahy, Jr., son
Of the Chicago packer, is the hero OF
Oklahoma, and were he willing he
could have the daughter of the chief
of the Ponca Indians for his bride.
The other day, at the peril of his life,
young Cudahy saved the life Of Horse
Eagle, ruler of the Poncas, when the
chief was struggling in the ice-flled
waters of Salt Fork river.
With two ribs broken, his face ard
scalp badly lacerated, and threatened
the chilly river, Cudahy lies in a bed
at the 101 ranch, happy that he sur
vived and that the rescued Indian es-
capped unharmed.
Overjoyed that their loved leader
was saved to him and to show their
gratitude to his brave rescuer, the
Ponca braves performed one of their
weird religious dances on the plain
surrounding the ranchhouse-a dance
to spare their hero and give young
Cudahy back his breath and strength
While young Cudahy, who came to
the ranch recently to recuperate, was
cantering along the banks of the Salt
Fork the other morning, he met with
the remarkable adventure, which, If he
would take an Indian bride, might one
day make him chief of the Poncas.
Hearing shouts from the river, Cud-
ahy investigated and found Chief
Horse Eagle, heavily laden with his
trappings, astride his pony, struggling
among the floating cakes of ice in the
water. Entangled in stirrup strap and
reins, it was but a matter of a few
minutes until the red chief would be
ready for the happy hunting grounds.
Without moments hesitation young
Cudahy leaped from his horse and
plunged into the icy waters, open
knife in hand. Cutting the straps
that held the redman to his pony the
rescuer dragged the almost exhausted
Indian to the bank and shouted for

his plans:
"YOu know the gate receipts here
will not support a salaried base ball
team. We all know that. But if
Douglas wants good article of base
ball, am willing to take chances on
giving it to them, with a guarantee
of $3.50. That would help out some,
and I'll stake my work against Doug
las $3.50 on the proposition. That
ought to be fair enough.
"If my proposition makes good
here, some one will go to Bisbee, Tue
son and fourth city and get the in
teresr aroused. Then We will be
ready for an organized league"

was brief. The law prohibits any
fistic encounter with gloves or other
wise for money, prize or champion
ship or where an admission fee is
charged. Had it not been for the ad-
mission fee which was charged at the
door, there would be no case against
the athletes as the bouts were merely
sparring matches such as pulled off
in Y. M. G. A. gymnasiums through
out the territory. In these affairs,
however, no admission is charged
The arrest were made at the insti-
cation of United States Marshal
Daniels, who read of the smoker in
