GRABBED HIS BALLOON ROPE
RUSSIAN PEASANTS PULLED
MIX TO GROUND.
American Aeronaut Denies Incident
Disqualifies Him as Winner OF
the Gordon Bennett Race.

BERLIN. October Edgar w. Mix.
the American aeIonaut. winner of the
Gordon Bennett trophy in the balloon
race which started from Zurich last Sun
Gay. arrived here yesterday from Ostro-
lenko, Russian Poland. He was dined by
James O'Hsra Murray and left for Paris
last night.
While in Berlin Mr. Mix received a tele-
gram informing him that a protest had
been lodged against his being declared
the winner of the Bennett trophy on the
ground that he had made landing with
the America II before he finally came
down in the forest of Ottawa.
This protest. said Mr. Mix. probably
is founded on. an incident that happened
at some place, the name of which is
unknown to me, about thirty miles north
east of Prague. We had thrown out bal
last so as to come below the clouds
through which We were sailing, when
the basket struck the ground in town
or village. We could not make out the
dimensions of the place because of a
thick fog.
Wouldn't Let Go.
Several persons caught hold of the
rope, notwithstanding my protest and
go. and dragged the balloon to earth. The
basket touched the ground. and rested
there probably between five and seyen
minutes, until I was able to persuade the
people to let go, and had also written
dispatch. Instead of being Of advantage
to me, I lost three bags of ballast before
l resumed the voyage"
Mr.. Mix said he desired to have the
committee make the fullest investigation
of the incident. He says he was treated
with the greatest courtesy by the police
of Ostrolenko, but was detained by them
for twenty-four hours, when his release
was ordered by telegraph from St. Pc
tersburg or Warsaw.
Balloon Sent to Paris.
The America II came on the same
train with Mr.. Mix to the Russian from
tier, where 1t was transferred to a slower
train for Paris. 1t was not damaged in
the long flight.
Victor de Beauclair and Pierre Roze,
the French aeronauts, and Herr Meyerins,
the distinguished German balioonist, at
tended MI Murray's dinner to Mr. Mix,
and afterward saw the American off for
Paris.

IN THE MIDST OF LAWNS.
Unique Apartment House to Be
Built by George S. Cooper.

A large apartment house Is to be built
by George S. Cooper on the east side of
31st street between q and r streets. In
order to secure for the proposed building
site sufficiently roomy he purchased the
olo Herr homestead. This property has
not been occupied in recent years, and the
brick house. which was a fine one in its
day, has fallen into neglect. But even
under such circumstances the place has
been much admired. owing to the spacious
hess about the old home, standing as It
did in the midst of ample lawns adorned
with shrubbery and trees.
The property had the unusual frontage
of over 100 feet. but it's great depth, of
over 300 feet, made 1t an exceptional piece
of city property. Like Its neighbor across
the street. Tudor Place, 1t was laid out on
the broader lines that were followed in the
days when centers of population were not
as densely occupied as they have come
to be.
However, the old building is to be taken
down and its lawns and gardens Will be
pretty we'll filled up with the building
which Mr. Cooper has planned. 1t will oc-
cupy the entire frontage. with. OF course.
the exception of ample spaces to be left
on each side for light and air. The build
ing is to be four stories In height, with
recessed front. where will be the approach
to the main entrance. and which will be
adorned with grass plots and Will haVe'a
fountain in the center.
The entire depth is not to be occupied,
as there is almost enough room in that
direction for two buildings. The building
WILL however. extend back over 100 feet.
thus leaving still in the rear almost lU
feet breadth of vacant space. 1t is Mr..
Coopers intention to make use of this un-
usual back yard and have 1T laid out as
a lawn and sort of playground. which
will form unique feature of city apart
ment house.

SENDING WATER TO
LITTLE FLORENCE
Mill Is Receiving the Fluid
From the BegOIe
Lease.

Awaiting the arrival of the big drive

tube mill Of the Florence. the company S
mill is grinding away at its original ca
pacity on ore supplied 10y the aerial
tramWay leading from the Little Flor
ence workings on top of Florence hill to
the plant where il is dumped in exactly
the same manner as was the ore raised
from the mine in the skips formerly en-
plOyed, says the GOldfield Tribune.
Very recently the question of water,
which at one time was more OF less am
noying. was settled, and water is now
being supplied the plant in abundance
from the old workings of the BegOle lease
on the White Rock. A three-inch pipe
line was laid from the workings direct
to the mill, and the enormous flow OF
water encountered in the BegOle is now
used in the treatment of Florence ores
The water is raised to the surface from
the old shaft and emptied into a tank
of approximately 5000 gallons capacity
after which it is pumped through the
line a distance of a quarter of a mile
to the plant. The work of laying tine
pipe line was accomplished in the record
time OF seventy-twO hours, and today
there is no evidence Of any appreciative
dirninution of the supply. The develop
ment Of the property is going forward
systematically, under the supervision OF
Superintendent Lawrence.

MINES AND MINING
REACH SULPHIDE
ZONE At TINT|C
Work at Gemini Property viii
Be Watched With
Interest.

The mining companies OF Tintic have
been rapidly sinking until now they have
reached great depths. without encounter
ing any water to speak Of, being in the
oxide zone all the way down. That camp
has the most extensive oxidized zone Of
the entire country, and it looks as though
the development work will go on to far
greater depths than have ever been
reached before without encountering
enough water to cause any considerable
inconvenience.
All of the great ore bodies that are now
being worked and are producing millions Of
dollars in wealth are above the sui
phide, or primary zone, but the Gemini
company, which is now producing con-
siderable ore within the sulphide zone.
On the 900-foot level of this property a
great body of sulphide ore has been en-
cOuntered, and enough work has been
done to prove that the values not only
go to that depth, but are also likely 10
hold out for many feet yet to come. This
property has the record Of reaching the
deepest level of any Tintic mine, and the
increase in the percentage of copper, lead
and silver goes to show that the Tintic
mining district will be a great district for
deep mining.

NEW RECORD FOR
NEWHOUSE TUNNEL
Great Avenue Is Driven 1873
Feet During Month of
August.

Another record in tunnel driving has
been made at the NeWhouse tunnel &C
cording to a report which appears in the
Denver Post. The great tunnel has been
going into the mountain with gigantic
speed and the face was pushed 33S feet
further during the month OF August
Regarding the tunnel the following is
said:
According to Manager George E. Col
Inns of rhe NewhOuse tunnel the record
was broken during August, when a total
of 33S feet was driven, fifteen feet further
broken. The ground was hard, but broke
well. In many Of the drill holes the
pressure Of the water was so great that
the powder was forced out of the holes
before it could be tamped
Two large and important veins have
been cut recently by the tunnel. The rock
between them is full of seams and well
mineralized. It is suggested that the
work from the tunnel level, as the ground
is reported open and should be the means
of draining the mines, which would
quickly relieve them of their surplus
water A long siding has been made i'm
the tunnel near the present heading, so
that it is virtually double track near the
breast This has been done so that cars
and trains Of ore could be handily and
operations. The company is fully able
with its equipment to handle the large
tonnage which Will follow as the result
Of recent developments.
With connections on the two veins re-
Gently cut between the tunnel and their
workings, the greater portion of Quartz
hill could be drained and quite a number
Of properties which have been idle for
number of years would soon be in
operation. as their surface extras could
be easily taken care of.
Col Hal SayTe, ex-senator II. c. Boil
singer and other well known mining men
have visited the tunnel since the veins
were cut. and they are more than pleased
with their condition at the present depth
of over 1900 feet They are fully cOgni-
zant Of the benefits which Gilpin county
will receive through the advancement of
the NeWhOuse tunnel to the Gunnel hill
section, its objective point.
