politan Mining company. The work is
being done through tunnel that has
IS portal near the confluence of Clear
Creek. The Metropolitan mine is on
the Spring Gulch side of the noun
tain and the tunnel is being driven
to cut it. This will neeessitate
driving 1000 feet half of which has
already been done. When the Metro
politan vein is cut it will be at the
depth of between 1900 and 1000 feet.
The tunnel will also cut other proper

on hand to see that the work is up to
the terms of the contract.
The hours for sprinkling are from 5
to 9 a. m. and from 6 to p. m. Owing

are from to 10 a. m. and from 5 to s
p: m. 1t is violation of the city or
dinance to use hose for sprinkling with
out nozzle or sprinkler attached and the
nozzle must not exceed Ia of an inch
in diameter. 1t is also violation to
allow the water to flow without making
use of it, Another provision is that all
service must be shut off in case of an
alarm of fire, as in such an event the
department will need all the pressure
available.
