IN This ciiy

George Eastman has almost COM
pleted the erection OF his new garage
in the same block with his livery
barn. The garage is one Of the very
best In this part of the country; it is
one hundred feet long and fifty feet
wide, and will easily accommodates
thirty FIVE cars and il crowded can
be made TO hold fifty. 1t is equip
ped with steam beat, has cement
floor and gravel roof.
The building was designed by Mr..
Brooks and built by c. l.. Wilbur;
it will be ready for use about De
cemcember first
In building this garage Mr.. East
man has done a genuine service to
the city and surrounding country.
Cars are growing more and more
numerous and many people have
signif1d that they would ouy cars
were it not that they are 80 far from
supplies. More people fail to come
To Gunnison in their cars because
there has been no place to keep
them; all this is now done away with

veins will be reached in about four
hundred feet from the present breast
Of the tunnel
The company owns six patented
claims, two patented mill sites and
seventy unpatented claims.
The ore is to be taken out through
this tunnel rather than through the
old Copper Queen shaft on account
Of the fact that it was necessary to
carry the ore from the mouth Of the
shaft on pack trains. Through the
tunnel the ore will be brought d.
rectly to a good wagon road and can
be placed on the railroad at Crested
Butte, ten miles away. The tunnel
also affords good drainage for the
abundance Of water which interfered
with the work in the old shaft.
The old Copper Queen was work
ed in the early eighties and produc-
ed some very rich ore in high grade
copper and silver. The Elk Noun
tain Mines and Tunnel Company is
made up Of Illinois men.
