GOES THROUGH A MOUNTAIN.
Colorado School Teachers Route on
Stormy Days.

Colorado School Teachers Route on
Stormy Days.
There is one school teacher In Col
orado who on stormy days makes the
trip through mountain, travelling
nearly four miles underground be-
fore she reaches her school.
The school which this teacher
teaches Is on top of mouI tain near
Idaho Springs, Col. Idaho Springs is
a bustling place for that part of the
world, but around It on all sides are
the Rocky Mountains and many wild
places.
The school law Of the state pre-.
scribes that wherever there are ten
children there must be some sort OF
school, Up on top Of this mountain
little settlement of miners has
grown up, Gilson's Gulch.
The mountain underneath II is
honey-combed with mines. To tap
these mines there was driven what
is known as the Newhouse tunnel.
II runs into the base of the noun
iaiu HccIlg lOul lllleS 10 Miuc tuOubh
for two tracks for electrically pro-
PEELED tram cars and carries the ore
and the miners working in the vari-
Gus mines in the mountain.
1t is a six mile ride on horseback
from the town of Idaho Springs
where the teacher of the school lives
up to the top of the mountain where
her school Is. IL isn't q bad ride I'm
nice weather for a Colorado girl used
to the saddle. but it's tough in win
ter.
Since the opening OF the tunnel the
teacher gets into one of the little
ore cars at the foot of the mountain
whenever the weather Is bad. The
ore train takes her into the noun
tain about three miles. Then she
gets out at one of the mines. she
thsn transfers TO bucket and is
hplsted up shaft 2,100 feet
When she gets out of the ahaft she
is on top OF the mountain, fifty feet
from her school house. 1t takes her
about an hour to make the trip. The
school mas fourteen pupils and they
never know whether their teacher is
coming up from the bowels Of the
earth or over the mountain.
