OH! so EASY!

After keeping their marriage a
secret for over a year and a half, Mr..
and Mrs. Ed. Wood have decided to
let their friends know how easy it is
to keep them guessing. Friends would
probably have never known if the
young couple had not volunteered
the information.
Mr. and Mrs. Wood are a well
known young couple. formerly of Rus
sell Gulch, but are now living in Der
yer. Mr. Wood IS the youngest son
of David Wood, well known citizen
all over the county, but who is now
a resident CT Denver. Mrs. Wood is
the daughter of VIM. Quintrall, an
other we'll known citizen, formerly of
Russell Gulch, but now resilient of
Denver
Friends of the young couple, all
over the county join with the Obser-
yer in extending hearty congratula-
tons 1t is never too late to congrat-
ulate pair who can keep secret
of this kind for so long a time.

Tuesday the political complexion O.

ed every candidate but county Judge

the state ticket carried. None of
these had flattering majorities, but
the Democrats were content with
anything they got in the way of ma
jorities. considering the way the
county ticket ran.
The election was a quiet one and
absolutely devoid of any enthusiasm
on the part of either party. The re-
suit was surprise to the residents
CT the county. 1t was conceded that
the Republicans would elect two or
three of their candidates, but not for

The result of the election on leg

give the Democrats a big major.sy
both in the senate and in the house.
The majority in the senate, irclud-
ing the hold-overs. is 10, and in the
house. 21.
Republicans can find no comfort in
the outcome of the elections held

lost decidedly in states that have

Upon the result Of the election
the Democrats will have a majority
of 27 in the lower house Of Congress.
In the senate the Republicans will
have II new members and the Demo-

TUNNELS: THEIR WORTH.

1t would be interesting to knew
how these big mining tunnel enter
prises work cut from a financia
standpoint. There is no way of gattini
at their value after their completion.
Where mostly for drainage purposes
it can only be judged what their
worth may be to the section in which
they are located. Every gallon Of wat
er that may come out through the
tunnel may be measured, but where
NEST Of 1t came frcm would be hard
to determine. One mine might be fur
nishirg all of it and the others prac-
tically little.
The use of the tunnel for convey
Ing ore Is very important factor
in the working of mine. It's worth
in this respect Is easily calculated.
But one phase Of the subject the
public has ever been kept in ignor.
ance. There are seldom any record
ed phenominal strikes of ore; big
bodies of high value. One woufi be-
heve that the principal motive for
their inception was to uncover new
veins Of mineral. The tunnel is of
value In that it was conceived to de-
velcp other properties for drainage
purposes; as an outlet for ore, and
It is natural to hope that with the
great depth would be disclosed large
bodies Of high-grade ere or phen-
omena Of some nature or other.
Those on the inside have a right
to all they may discover. But it would
seem disappointing that more is not
heard as to the results of such un-
dertakings. In mining district where
veins are known to exist IN great
number these deep tunnels should
certainly uncover many unsupported
ly. No doubt fabulous finds have been
made, but not to the extent expected.
They must be disappointing in that
they seldom become producers in
themselves. OF course they are only
entitled to that which has not been
discovered on the surface. Any unlo-
Gated mineral vein cut by the tunnel
belongs to the tunnel operators. But
these do not seem to be many or
they would be of record. However, the
tunnel no doubt answers the purpose
Of the promoters of such or they
