GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT.
Ends of the Gunnison Water Tunnel
Meet Under Mountains.

Word was received at the reclama-
ton service yesterday that the headings
of the great Gunnison tunnel, one of the
greatest engineering feats ever attempted
in this country, met yesterday. This tun-
mel. which is in western Colorado, is to
carry the waters of the Gunnison river
through a mountain range into the Tn
compahgre valley for irrigation purposes.
When completed the tunnel will be the
largest underground waterway in the
world. 1t is six miles long and will car
ry 1.3O0 cubic feet Of water per second.
1t will be cement lined Throughout and
will cost more than S2,5G00aO.
The preliminary work on this undertak-
ing was difficult and spectacular, for the
Gunnison river flows at the bottom of
canyon. 2.O0O feet deep. with almost per-
pendicular walls, and the surveys for the
location of the tunnel heading required
both heroism and engineering skill For
four years crews of men have been boring
into the granite mountain from both ends
Of the tunnel

LITTLE HOPE FOR THE NERO.
Small Prospects of Saving the Big
Naval Collier.

Little hope is expressed of saving the big
naval collier Nero, which is ashore on
Br!ntons reef. The vessel. it is stated. is
firmly wedged on the rocks and south
west gale is pounding her severely. The
collier Brutus and the gunboat Castine.
which were standing by the stranded
steamer, endeavoring to float her. were
obliged to abandon their efforts and stand
off shore when the gale began to blow.
1t Is stated that the wind reached a ve-
locity of over forty miles an hour and
has prevailed for more than two days.
The Nero is one of the largest of the
coal-carrying ships attached to the navy.
and is considered fine vessel. Sne was
built at Sunderland. England, in 1885,
and was christened Whitgift by her Brit
ish owners when launched. She was
bought fol the Spanish war
and has carried coal to American war
ships in all parts of the world. She is
steel hull. single screw vessel of $500
tons displacement and is 312 feet long,
IL feet beam and % feet mean draft She
has a speed of about nine knots an hour.

A SIMPLE METHOD FOR
CLEANING MOCK JEWELS
Warm Water and Soap or Bath of Cyanide and
Water Will Brighten Tarnished Settings.

While the average woman keeps her
expensive jewelry in good condition, the
less costly trinkets are seldom consider
ed worthy OF any particular care and SO
when the metals become dim or the mock
jewels dull the ornaments are usually
thrown away without trying to restore
them.
Such neglect is an extravaganza, for
mock jewels can be made to retain their
luster and tarnished metals can be given
the brightness of the new article by SIM
pie methods.
Beginning with rhinestones, the stone
that is perhaps the most popular for gem
eral wear-though jet will be a close rival
this year-a jeweler says: The less they
are cleaned the better, for the reason
that each rhinestone is tipped at the back
with substitute that gives the stone life
and. of course, each time the ornament is
washed little of this dressing rubs off. -
This is one of the instances where too
much care is detrimental. especially when
carried out by the usual method of scrub
bing with a tooth brush and soap. An
occasional bath is good but the bPush
should not be used on the back of the
ornament. After washing in lukewarm.
soapy water the trinkets should be rinsed
in clear water and then dried with soft
cloth 1Afterward drop into box filled
with sawdust.
Rhinestones, rule, are set in silver,
and as this furnishes quickly constant
cleaning seems to be almost a necessity.
There is. however, solution that will re-
move the worst tarnsh by simply drop
ping the dulled ornament inic Il, but un-
less this is carefully done the trnkets
will be damaged.
To make this bath use cyanide and
water, about one quart of the latter to
three Jumps as large as walnut OF the
cyanide. OF course, less quantity may
be made, following the same proportions
The tarnished articles are dropped into it,
and one can see the tarnsh disappear
When clean the trinkets must be taken
out and dropped instantly into soapy
Evening star., 1909-07-07

:, water to wash off all trace of the cyanide.
| The siversmith who furnished this in
| formation told me he could not too strong
| ly emphasize the word instantly, for If
| the pieces are left too long after removal
| from the cyanide before thes water bath
| there is danger. 1t Is better not to put
ones hands in the cyanide solution, es-
pecially if there are abrasions. The Or
namentS can be taken out with sticks.
The authority who gave the above
information said this was quick and
safe process for cleaning badly tarnished
table silverware, but that he always hesl-
| tated to recommend it, because the aver
age woman. SO he said would want to
put all the pieces in the solution at the
same time. then take them out. and when
all were ready prepare the soap suds for
| the rinsng, This would be fatal, for one
piece only can be done at time to be
success.
With jet no particular care is necessary.
1t must be rubbed with a clean rag, upon
which are a few drops of oil. Or when
it looks dull or gray 1t can be washed.
though oil is sufficient, and any kind of
pure oil will answer the purpose. Need
less to add, it will break if it receives a
bad fall.
Mock pearl dog collars are worn again
and to keep them clean is trouble unless
one knows how. Usually women wash
them In warm water. But this is the
worst treatment that could be given, as
these mock jewels have waxy coverings
that melt when heated and so. of course,
will absorb soil more quickly than before
Cold water alone should be used, though
there is no objection to soap They should
then be dried with a soft cloth and fin
ished in the sawdust box.
The cheapest jewelry, set with mock
stones, should not b9 washed in warm
water, no matter what color, because
the stones are really only glued in, not
set, as in metal These trinkets are made
abroad and women are employed for glu-
ing, hence the cheapness of the finished
article.
For cleaning gold ornaments or settings
was told there was nothing better than
a piece of chamos and a sprinkling of
jewelers. powder. ELIZABETH LEE
