ROOSEVELT TUNNEL DHANIS
CRIPPLE CREEK DISTRICT

Since the first flow of water was
encountered in the Roosevelt drain
age tunnel at Cripple Creek it has
required nearly Is months to secure
the results that were originally de-
sired. The drainage of the district is
now accomplished and nothing re-
mains TO prevent the rapid exploita-
tion of the mines at greater depths.
BY this is meant that the recession of
water is sufficient to outreach the de-
velopment needs of the operators.
The water level is being lowered at a
rate of perhaps Is feet per month.
The accomplishments of last year
have been enough to permit sinking
and development to deeper level,
and henceforth, there is no reason to
doubt, the properties will be dry.
Recent driving in the main head
ing of the drainage tunnel has opened
new water course, and a late report
is that the overflow is about 1900
gallons minute. This water strike
was made in the vicinity of the Gold
Dollar vein system, near the north
east line of the st. Thomas claim, and
it may be accepted as the completion
of the huge cooperative drainage en-
terprise which was begun nearly six
years ago. The effects are felt in the
extreme eastern portion of the dis
trict, whore such properties as the
yindcator and Golden Cycle, whose
workings have hitherto been appar-
ntly uninfluenced, give evidence of
Icing benefited.
With this work completed, the SUI
preme interest of operators will con
ter in the deep developments. Al
ready some of the mines have taken
alvantage of the disappearance of
the water and have undertaken ex.
rorations at lower levels. The ex-
tension Of productive veins has been
proven in two or three cases.. The
level of the Roosevelt tunnel is 750
feet deeper than that of the previous
tunnel, so that great deal of room
e. lists for exploration and for dis
covery, if the gold deposits prove
themselves persistent. Operators
show themselves confident, while the
stock market at Colorado Springs is
refleeting in some measure the more
optimistic sentiments of investors.
At the meeting of the directors OF
the Cripple Creek Drainage Tunnel
company, held recently, the new tun-
mel was declared officially completed.
No further work will be done in ex-
tending the bore, as the directors con
slider that they have accomplished the
design of the operators. The tunnel
has cost the district 100000, and af
ter paying all bills a small cash bal
ance will remain in the treasury to
be used in keeping the bore clean of
debris.--Mining Science.

REPRESENTATIVE IN tow

q. J. Gutke, OF Ogden, representing
the Montello Salt company, is in town
today. This company recently won its
suit in the United States Supreme

by securing title to 10000 acres Of
the finest salt lands in the world. The
deposit is from 10 inches to IA feet

feet, the tract contains $1,000, 900 tons
of salt. At present the company is
selling the crude produce for stock
salt, but during the year will build
a refinery to produce table salt.

WHEN LIFE WEARS ITS CLOSE
Physical Change That Paralyzc, In
Varying Degree, the Mind and
Llmbs OF tho Aged.

One of the chief tragedies of oncom
ing age is the increasing difficulty In
moving about and In grasping new
ideas. Limbs and wits both become
less nimble and agile.
1t has now been discovered to what
this condition Is due. Certain sub
stances separate themselves from the
gray matter of the brain and cause o
thickening In the cells of that part Of
the brain lying under the frontal bone
forming a gland-like body, which
scientists call plaques" These
plaques" are ray-shaped kernels
more or less irregular in form and fire
Quently assuming the shape of crys
tails.
Just what substances cause the
growth of plaques" by segregation
from the brain matter, scientists dc
not know. But they do know that
these substances are the substances
which make for nimbleness, quick
ness, ease of thought and movement
The favorite place of the plaque, the
front portion of the brain. is also the
part of the brain which becomes dis
eased. in cases of paralysis, 80 thai
some biological analogy exists be
tween difficulty of movement and
speech and impossibility of movement
and speech.
The plaques" are found chiefly In
the rind of the brain. Very rarely
they attack the spinal column. II
present in minute numbers, the per
son attacked shows only the mildel
symptoms of old age, slowness Of
movement. fatigue. inability to under
stand quickly. II presented in large
numbers, senile dementia, one of the
most horrible conditions into which
the human body lapse, occurs.
They attack the intellectual and the
dull-witted people alike In old age
for some of the brightest minds be
come afflicted with dullness and ap
parent stupidity, even to senile de
mentia In some instances. On the
other hand. people who have always
been dull-witted, even illiterate, are
afflicted In a like manner, SO 1t can
not be claimed the affliction Is due Il
an overworked brain.
