There has been . great deal pub
lished in the Denver papers ooneening
the disaster at the Empire reeosvoir,
highly coiorsd and far fron tie truth.
We copy the foalswisg from the Fort
Morgan Times which b in q position to
give the facts:
At noon Monday. August 2. vorkmen
in charge of the hsadgate Of tie EN-
pire Reservoir detected water tsiekling
through the masonry which forms the
''welI" At the outlet Of the great body
of water.
At four O'Clock hasures - large as
mans body opened up in what seemed
to be . mass of masonry - solid rs the
pyramids. and the impoundad waters
gushed forth in . seething maas which
grew in volume until at five O'Clock the
Bijo0 ditch was no longer able 70 carry
the torrent and one thousand feet Of
the ditch enbankment went out, releas-
ing the food and covering fertile farms,
destroying crops and carrying before
its awful force bodies of earth, trees
and everything movable.
Every man available was summoned
to the scene and heroic efforts made to
check the mighty rush Of water, but
with the inner end of the four conduits
far beneath the surface Of the swift
tide and the gates at the bottom of the
well - useless - though they had
never existed, and every ordinary ap-
pliance rendered worthless by the
cracked and crumbling masonry, the
task was more than could be performed.
With the exception Of that part of
the earthWork which had been built d.
rectly over the eonduits, (extending in
q regular sea-beach slope from the
abatsnsnt above the openings to the
top Of the welD the embankments of
the reservoir are intact. The only flaw
in the whole reservoir has been shown
to be in the concrete which the gates
were operated. At about I O'Clock the
weakened structure crumbIed apart
and fell inward, toward the lake, its
mass forming new eddy in the whirl-
ing waters which added another ele-
ment Of gravity 70 the situation, as
the Whirlpool thus formed produced a
suction which gradually undermined the
conduits.
That the loss will be heavy is beyond
question, but just as certain 10 it that
the damage is but temporary and the
ruined headgate will be quickly re-
placed in such manner a. to preclude

the possibility of repetition of the
calamity.
Deliberate investigation alone can
properly fix whatever blame attaches
to the unfortunate affair. Opinions
~ to the true origin of the breaks
differ widely. and only after the pres
ent situation Is successfully met and
all danger past will there be time to
institute an investigation. The dis
trict is faee to face with . proposition
that must be met promptly and no
where can be be heard idle criticism of
past or present methods of construe-
ton or management.

Never, hut once, has there been
more vhsat; never before has there
been - much corn or 70 pueh oats-
And never hrfare have three bumper

Never in history has such . huge

been 70 prepared fer their work. All
along tie inss of the principal rail-
roads in tie great grain producing
states stand ailes and miles Of empty
box cars, ready fer the loading. while
Thousands Of engines, new or over
hauled during tie period Of depression
just drawing TO . c,ose. stand with
steam up, ready to rush them to Chics-
60. Minnespeiis and other terminal
cities, where the almost empty eleva-

hosts and cars are ready to carry the
surplus to other and less favored ma

Consequently the great crop outlook
makes it appear that the coutry il in
for an era Of prosperity such as it
never saw before.
The government figures, especially
on winter wheat, were surprise even
to the most optimistic. Threshing re-
turns indicate m average yield for the
entire country of 1876 bushels to the

The compilers of the official pro-
gram say in speaking of this branch
of the celebration: This parade is
something more than jollification
and merry-making. 1t is designed to
recall the poetry of myth, allegory
and in a few cases, of historic facts
which, while foreign in local origin,
has inspired so much Of the beauti-
full imagery of the poetry and song
and drama of all civilized nations.
American civilization, young as it Is,
has advanced to a stage where it APP
preciates heritage from the Old
World, and nowhere in this country
is that heritage more highly priced
than in New York City or State.
The total cost of constructing and
presenting the two float" parades of
the celebration is estimated, when
their repetition in different boroughs
of New York and in towns along
the Hudson River has been accounted
for, at nearly $250,0O0. The task
of building the floats was serious
problem and finally forced the
establishment of school of construc-
ton, with skilled New York sculptors
and carpenter as pupils. The car
penter first built rough skeleton
of the figure intended, padded into
semblance of its final shape with
lath and wire mesh. OF this the
sculptor modelled in clay his figure.
From the sculptors model was taken
a plaster cast upon which in turn
was modelled the papier mache cast
which, when painted and vanished,
were ready. to be set on the floats.

$4,000 a Month Forth
coming ford Development
Of Ely Central On Lines
Suggested By Parish.
THREE SHIFTS ARE TO BE
KEPT BUSY ON EUREKA SHAFT
AND WORK RUSHED IN ALL d.
RECTIONS.

The work of the development of
the Ely Central is going forward with
a rush, and word was received here
this mornig that an appropriation of
$4,000 a month had been set aside
by the company for the opening up
of the mine in proper shape.
The Ely Central has been an ac
tive factor in the camp; in fact, one
of the most active, but this news is
the best for the district which has
yet come from the mine or the com
pany. The expenditure of the money
means a good deal of work and the
employment of more men, and ulti-
mately the production of more copper
in the district, And the way in which
the Ely Central is going about the
WORK of development shows the
earnestness of the men behind the
company.
The expenditure of this amount of
money would indicate that 1t is the
intention of the Ely Central company
to get to the ore as soon as possible
Ito make mine. ~ $50
The instructions include the EN-
ployment ,,pf theree, shifts on the
three-compartment shaft of the Eu-
reka Fraction, the sinking of shafts
on the Clipper and Monarch claims,
and such other work on the property
as will follow out the, lines outlined
by William A. Parish, tbs .distin-
guished engineer who recently exam
ined the property of the Ely Central
at the instance of the. underwriters
40
specific instructions received by the
general manager by wire this morn
ing are as follows:
up. to $4,000 month forth
coming for development on Ely Cen
tral. Turner has this information
and will consult with Hoffman on ar
rival, with view to extending work
on the property on lines outlined by
Parish in his report We approve
Monarch and Clipper shafts II Hoff-
man favorable; also other work to
the extent of 100000 per month. IT
is essential that three shifts be kept
busy on Eureka shaft and as much
work as possible be done uD to $40
900 per month. There NUT be no
let up"
Turner alluded to in the dispatch
is the president of the Ely Central
and has been expected here for nearly
week. 1t is possible that the de-
liberations of the company upon the
all-important theme of development
work has been the cause of his de-
lay and that he is now coming on
to consult with Manager Hoffman on
the work to be done. Mr.. Hoffman
has been here now for the past week
and has spent the major portion OF
his time at the property Of the COM
pany. The third shift on the Eu-
reka Fraction s...4l has been put on
starting with the graveyard shift this
morning, and everything is In readi-
ness to begin sinking the other
shafts. ~ : !, ss..t: 3 .8sN Ntssksu

NEW YORK, Oct. "a night
carnival parade of many novel fea-

generally allegorical and legendary
nature. The bearing upon the ey-
ents of the week was the representa-
ton it gave Of arts, and ideals that

In the planning and construction
of these fifty floats the German,
Austrian and Swiss Societies of the
city cooperated with the carnival
committee and the Teutonic myth
ology which the early colonists
brought to this part of the country
was strongly in evidence. But the
classic legends of Greece and Rome
were not lacking, and, a large num-
ber of the floats represented abstract
subjects such as Poetry Music, Art,
War, Humor, Good Luck, Freedom
and Peace Timely interest went
with shivery scene entitled "The

the Crowned Heads" concluded the
procession and produced more ap-
plause than all the gorgeousness and
tinsel of the more artistic concep-

Music, Literature and Art led the
procession. This foremost float,
fantastic in design and meant to
prophesy the unconvential character
of those to follow, takes the shape
of dragoon spouting flame and sur
rounded by fire. Mars, the God of
War followed. Next came huge

he is ready to blend them in his
work. They needed only to be stirred
to life by his brush to do his bidding.
