DR.. HUNTER
DIES SUDDENLY

As Mrs. SEVERN Peel of Baldwin
went to deliver milk at the door Of
DR.. Hunters cabin yesterday morning,
she noted thru the window, the doctor
IN q chair but sitting in an unnatural
POSITION. Closer examination reveal
ed that he was dead and apparently
had passed away some time during the
night.
The county coroner, DR.. J. d. Wlk.
er, was at once notified by phone and
left Gunnison at once with Sprigg
Shackleford, district attorney, d. J.
Lehan, undersheriff, and Mrs. Susie
Miller, as undertaken. No inquest
was held, as evidence seemed plain
that heart failure had overcome the
doctor. Apparently. he had risen and
taken one tablet from q bottle Of
heart medicine on the table-nearby
shorty afterwards passing away.
The body was embalmed by Mrs.
Miller and will be shipped to Denver.
For many years DIR. NJ. b. Hunter
has been q resident physician among
the coal miners at Baldwin. His wife
and son live in Denver, but are now
in California on visit. He was aged
81. Very few other facts are known
concerning the dead physician.

NOW DRILLING THRU THE
OIL SAND IN WELL
New Contract Let for Second Bore by Cum
nison Al Company. To be Put Down
at Once by Wichita Firm Show
ing Looks Better Every Day.

The oil well is down a foot in real
oil sandrock this morning. After
some delay in getting the 12-inch
casing set down 1886 feet thru the
shale, everything was in readiness to
drill yesterday and Mr.. Grow drop
ped the bit six inches, with another
six inches this morning. The showing
is good and the drill will be put down
carefully six inches a day to test out
the sand. II it turns out to be sever
al feet thick, then it seems to be the
opinion of oil men that there is no
question about this being an oil pro-
duccr of ten barrels or better. The
matter Of shooting the well to loosen
the sand rock, is to be determined
later.
Several oil experts who have viewed
the well, were Of the opinion that the
Gunnison news-champion., 1920-08-27

oil rising in the bore might be q seep-
age from the shale. The test SO far
seems to dispose Of that theory and
Is very favorable indication.
The Gunnison Oil Co. has this week
let Contract to Messrs. Shriber &
Rslston, representing reliable Wichita,
Kansas oil firm, to Immediately put
down another well several hundred
feet from the No. well. It will be
located over the line Of the Dollard
ranch on the Lashbrook property, al
SO under lease by the Al company.
This firm has Star rig for light
drilling, which they will have on the
ground in 80 days and quickly sink q
six-inch hole to the 1886 foot sand.
The Gunnison oil field isn't proven
yet, but il looks better and better to
oil men every day.

TUNNEL REVISION BOARD
Rocky Mountain News:-

Rocky Mountain News
The state railroad commission,
charged with the proposed construc-
tion Of. the James Peak, Marshall
Pass and Cumbres Pass tunnels by the
state at an estimated cost Of nearly
eighteen million dollars, is going TO-
provide board of engineering re-
view of the very best talent to Be had
in the country and check on the COM
mission and its engineers and make
certain that the project is safe and
sound and self-suppovting to the
state. The new board will be q
guarantee to the public that the fund
voted will be used in the most prac-
investment the loan will be safe 10
the public that voted 1t.
As the proposed tunnels would
opeL to the outer world some twelve
million acres of national public land
that are now all but isolated on ac-
count of lack Of transportation, it is
natural to expect that the federal gov
ernment will be willing to offer its
ablest engineers for this purpose and
encourage noted engineers in private
affairs to give of their best to tho
project.
The chief aim is to have a body.
of outside engineers, accustomed to
dealing with big things of this char
acter to pass Judgment and give its
word that the tunnels are feasible
undertakings; that their construction
would be Of great good to the rail-
roads using them; that the latter
would be obligated to use the tun-
nels to save cost of transportation
and that the revenues to be received
by the state as builders would be at
least equal to the interest and sinking
fund required to meet the original
outlay. The new engineering board
but will advise as it would private
client.
Under the measure that is to be
voted on at the November election
the three tunnels are to be construct
ed simultaneously to open three great
basins in the state that are now Of lit
tie value to the state as whole. A
track and automobile driveway will
be provided SO that the state may be
more closely joined for mutual bene-
fit, not only by steam road, but by
highway. The three bores would rev.;
olutionize local and tourist traffic by
motor car and bring places now long
way off within hailing distance Of
Denver and southern cities. The ter
ritories to be opened by the steam
railroads are among the very richest
in Colorado, yet we know compara-
lively little about them, because, altho
they are geographically Colorado, they
are not of Colorado in a business
sense. In spite of their isolation,
they have developed quite trade, yet
the state as whole is very little bet
er off for this. If the tunnels are not
built, Colorado may rest assured that
the wealth of these lands will go else
where.

no opponents to James holland, as
secretary Of state, nor Mrs. Mary C.

threat that il defeated in the Demo.
