CRIPPLE CREEK, Oct., 6. j
—A letter has been received from j
Jim Ahearn who went to Russia to
do some diamond drilling at govern- j
ment mines- He says: “Well, here j
we are last in the former English j
mining camp of Ridder, some 4'),-1
00 ilometers southeast of Mos
cow—five days by rail and tigiv by
water up what is known a:: Iitish
river. This camp is not so far fiom
the Mongolian bor e! — L 35
miles
“We are surround*-J / very
beautiful mountains > t.ic c.*. rb*
east—three peaks known as the
Three Brothers are snow capped
and good to look at. The climate in
summer is delightful. We are having
just a little rain and the hills are
like a velvet carpet. The soil is very j
fertile.
“The streets are terrible in wet j
weather. If you leave the house It
is necessary to jump into Russian
boots. At present there are 20 Am
ericans, including the children in
five families, four of them from
Colorado: Mr. Banks, from the Colo
rado School of Mines is in charge
of mining; Frank Downs, mill
superintendent, from Sunnyside
mine at Silverton; Mr. Sullivan, mill
foreman, from Silverton; Mr.
Nicholson, from A. S. & R- plant at
El Paso, Texas, and Mr. Ahearn,
formerly with the Hardly Able Leas
ing Comany, Cripple Creek, boss of
diamond drilling.
“I’m glad I drew this camp as
it is the biggest in Russia; the
ground is unusually hard and will
find it difficult going from surface.
1 am confident of cutting cost
(which has been enormous) of work
and will be sitting pretty. An Am
erican in charge of drilling is us
ually known as drilling profes
sor or specialist. We now have four
rigs going—three underground and
one on surface. Will start another
on the surface. Will start
three 7-hour shifts on the surface
drills.
“After quite a wait we are now
very comfortably housed—four nice
rooms, furnished, electric lights,
fuel and water free. They are now
building as rapidly as possible but
it will take some time to relieve
congestion. They try to pack three
to six people in every room. Engin
eers tell me that the mine is one
of the richest in the world. Ore
is copper, lead, zinc and silver with
gold content enough to pay for the
mining- They have a large lead
smelter, a 5,000-ton mill under con
struction, a large machine shop
and a quite up-to-date foundry
where one can have most anything
in the machine line turned out pro
viding you wait long enough. I thot
Mexico was the land of ‘Manna’
but this country’s motto is “three
weeks from tomorrow.” The 9 P. M.
whistle just blew and how; it is
still daylight and will be until
nearly 11, but will have plenty of
dark ones this winter, also plenty
cold.”

GIGANTIC OEM EELS
NEAR MORSE CARCASS
Retribution for a moose kill
overtook a gigantic brown bear
near Russian Lake on the divide
from the head of Ressurection Riv
er a few days ago when he fell to
the rifles of John Hedberg and his
brother Fred. The party was com
ing in from a hunt when they bag
ged this fine specimen
The bear was lying across the
half-eaten carcass of the moose,
apparently so gorged with meat asj
to be loath to leave the scene. He j
fell at the first well-aimed shots j
The pelt weighed over 100 pounds j
and measured 10 feet three inches j
from tip to tip. This monarch of j
the flats measured 22 inches from
his ears to the tip of his nose and
131/2 inches between the ears. His J
hind paw was 8 inches wide by 13 V2
inches long. The hunters reported
finding the remains of a number
of moose calves that had evidently
fallen to the bears and had been
almost completely devoured.
