SiIverton Blockade Raised.

Denver.-A Silverton dispatch Mon
day night says: The blockade which
has existed on the Rio Grande rail-
road since December 30th was raised
tonight at dark, when three trainloads
OF coal arrived here and the passen-
ger train from Denver followed.
Nearly 800 men have been at work
since the storm ceased last week.
picking and shoveling the snow and
ice which covered the rails to the
depth of several feet for distance of
ten miles. The work was made hard
and slow from the fact that the snow
was filled with water and formed a
solid cake of ice on the rails. The
slides which came down were filled
with rock and timber, which added to
the difficulty of the operation.
A portion of the expense of clearing
the road was borne by the business
men of the town. who subscribed sew
eral hundred dollars for the work
The Denver & Rio Grande wage
scale for shovelers was $3.50 per day.
and it was found impossible to obtain
men at this price. The money sub
scribed was for the purpose of paying
the difference between $3.50 and SO
per day, in order to obtain sufficient
force.
Never in the history Of the camp
has a snow blockade found the town
SO completely out of coal. For weeks
the dealers had been unable to secure
sufficient coal to more than supply
the daily demands. and the storm
caught them with empty bins and half
the families in town unsupplied.
The bitter cold weather following
the storm added to the seriousness of
the situation. Two carloads which
the railroad had brought here for it's
own use was turned over to the deal
ers and was apportioned in small
quantities to the most needy cases.
Several tons of slack from the city
light plant have also been used and
many families are burning this in
their ranges and cook stoves in order
to keep warm. In view of this situa-
ton the efforts to raise the blockade
have been the most energetic ever
known here.

than four miles.
A worlds record for single track
mining tunnel driving was established
in June, when 323 feet of 6xS-foot tun-
mel was driven with double drilling
and mucking crews. The record of
338 feet made in August included
large part of double track section, the
same size as the Roosevelt tunnel at
Cripple Creek The latter tunnel
made record of 3,501 feet during
1908
Work has been discontinued on the
breast of the tunnel for the present
and several machines are now being
used in lateral driving. The condi-
tions at the breast have been rather
severe on the men for the last few
months, owing to the lack of ventilat-
ing facilities, and the loss of air pres
sure for the drills at the heading. 1t
is expected work will be resumed on
the breast about March LIST.
The total underground laterals trib-
Utary to the Newhouse tunnel amount
to about $4,000 feet, or three miles.
The mine workings which are opened
through these laterals comprise ap-
proximately twenty miles Of shafts,
raises and drifts, and a few months
later, when connection is made with
the big mines in Nevadaville and
Quartz hill, it is estimated that the
tunnel will be directly connected with
more than 100 miles of old mine work
ings.

REAPER HONOR ROW
Mccormick Families in Dispute
Concerning Inventor.
Cyrus H. Mccormick, Not the Ori9i
nator Of Great Farm Machine, Says
Woman in Jefferson Says
He Was.

Chicago,-The unveiling of the por-
trait of Cyrus H. Mccormick in the
Farmers Hall of Fame in Memorial
the University of Illinois at Urbana
aroused controversy as to whether the
late inventor or his father, Robert Nc
Cormlck, is entitled to the honor of
having invented the reaper.
Seemingly the controversy is being
Waged among different branches of the
Mccormick family itself.
That the distinction ascribed by his
tory to Cyrus H. Mccormick was dis
puted, apparently within the family,
came to the surface when a letter
dated at New York and signed "kath-
crime Mccormick was printed on the
editorial page of a Chicago newspaper
published by one OF the McCormicks.
1t asserted Robert Mccormick invent
ed the reaper.
The claim of Cyrus H. Mccormick is
stanchly defended by his direct de-
scendants in Chicago. At his resi-
dence, so East Huron street, Cyrus H.
Mccormick, son of the inventor of
eu"' hahle' anu pieSiuehl Vi tue Inter
national Harvester Company, secuted
the suggestion contained in the letter
of Katherine Mccormick.
''The claim that Cyrus Mccormick
did not invent the reaper is too absurd
to discuss said Mr.. Mccormick. My
father did invent the reaper, but it
seems quite unnecessary for me to
make such a statement for it is an his
torical fact. Robert Mccormick, his
father, tried to invent reaper, but
failed. He made a few experiments,
but they did not result in the produc-
tion of a practical machine. 1t was
Cyrus Mccormick who worked out the
idea"
Mr.. Mccormick said he had read the
