who attend can feel assured OF good
time for thu people of Empire are known
for their superior entertaining qualities.
Mrs. Frank Brady was in this CITY on
Mont ay in the interest of the dance
and aroused much enthusiasm among
her many friends here and the friends OF

waued and that the dance will be liber-

Peter A. Laffey of Georgetown was
convicted of committing heinious as
sault upon fifteen year old girl, at the
December term of court, and was subse-
auently sentenced by the district court
for between twelve and fourteen years
in the penitentiary. He was confined
in the county Jail pending the time that
he had to appeal, before being taken to
Canon City. On Wednesday afternoon,
while cleaning up his cell, the under
sheriff went in to examine it when Laffey
quickly stepped out and locked the
deputy in, making his escape. AS he
left he said, Good bye, Cunny. I've
been here long enough" The lock on
the door was of such a com bination that
it required locksmith to get it open
as Laffey took the key. He was arrested
on Thursday night by Marshal Ives
accompanied by A, E. Straub, the Mo
sleuth, at the home of a colored woman
short distance up Chicago Creek. 1t
is safe to say he will not get another
chance to turn the key on an officer.

Doing Good Work

The Cripple Creek Times of
Januar, 2nd has the following
special in reference to the
work that has been done under
the superintenden'cy of our towns
man, Charles Fuller of the Rpose-
vet Drainage tunnel. The arti-
Gle is written by T. X. Country
man, Designer of the TunnI
and Adviser of the Tunnel com
pany. 1t shows that Mr.. Full
ler is making good and upholding
his record of having made the
the top" footage in this big bore
in former months.
THE flow from the portal of
the Roosevelt Drainage tunnel
yesterday measured 5000 gallons
per minute. This is the heaviest
flow (actually measured that has
ever come from any tunnel of the
three bores driven to drain the
camp and it appears to be
steady, constant flow.
The progress in the main head
ing for the month of December
was 40 feet or nine feet per shift
for the thirty shifts actually
worked.
This is remarkable progress
when we consider the adverse
conditions and great difficulties
to be overcome. The hard gran
ite rock and the water squirting
with force from every crevice adds
to the difficulty. The men are
obliged to wear the heaviest rub
Der clothing and boots while
working in the heading.
1t is necessary to tram all the
muck a distance of 5000 ft on a
track which which is under wa
ter foot in places. All the
steel, pipe, etc. has to be car
ried into the face of the tunnel
against the same obstacles.
Uuoer such conditions pro-
gress of nine feet per shift is SIM
ply remarkable and in my opinion
constitutes the best tunnel work
ever done in the district If not
ia the state, If not in the country.
If three shifts had been at
work the inference is that nearly
three times the progress would
have been made or the tun mel
would have gone forward 800 feet
or in that neighborhood. This
would undoubtedly break the re-
cord.
Mr.. Fuller, the superintendent,
is modest man and doesn't claim
all the credit, He SAYS he now
has one of the best crews of men
that ever went up against the a
face of hard rock. They certain
iy must understand their business
and work hard too or they could
not accomplish what they are
doing
But it takes a good manager to
pick out good men and vice versa
it takes good men to stay with a
good manager, so we must credit
all who are connected with the
work.
