TUNNEL BORERS
AHEAD SCHEDULE!
—
DENVER, Col., Jan. 8.—The Moffat
! tunnel, piercing the continental di
vide of the Rocky mountains west of
here, and one of the world’s greatest
! railroad bores, is nearly one-third j
completed and is ten per cent ahead j
| of the time set by the builders.
To date the pioneer of water tun-1
nel has been bored G500 feet from the
east portal or more than one-third of
the six mile distance. The main head
ing has penetrated James Peak 6316
! feet from the west. The cross out j
tunnels connecting the main and wa- 1
ter bores at intervals of from 1300 to
1500 feet have reached a total of 520
feet. Each of these crosscut tunnels
| is approximately 75 feet in length. The j
full size railway tunnel has penetrat- :
i ed 3095 feet from the east and 531
, feet from the western portal.
At present the work of enlarging
the main heading which is being drill
; ed seven and one-half by nine feet,
j to the full size tunnel, which will be
■ 16 by 24 feet, is proceeding twice as
! fast as the work at the front. At this
j rate tunnel engineers estimate that
; with a year this work will be abreast
of the main heading.
The slowness of progress on the
' western end is accounted for by the
| fact that builders have encountered
| soft shale and dirt rather than solid
rock. This necessitates timbering ev
ery foor of the way at a cost of §100
per linear foot. At the east portal
solid rock was found after the first
few hundred feet and enabled the
contractors to speed up the work ma
terially.
The men are comfortably housed
in camps at each end of the tunnel,
where stocks of provisions sufficient
for three months are maintained. Each
camp has a medical dispensary and
hospital with a doctor and a nurse in
constant attendance. Fatalities, how
ever, have been almost nil, but one
death resulting from accident in the
17 months of construction.
Terms of the contract call for com
pletion not later than July, 1927. The
opening of the tunnel will divert all
railroad traffic through it, cutting off
several heavy grades and sharp
curves.
A successful summer’s work is re
ported by the highland Park Corn
unity Center, near Richmond, Va.
The school auditorium was used as
a meeting place for the community
orchestra, for the annual flower show,
and for the community rehearsals.
More than one-third of the 1,844
students at the Universidad del Su
reste, Merida, Yucatan, are in the
normal school, aaccording to a re- '
port of H. C. Vogenitz, vice consul
in charge at Progreso, Mexico. More
than one-ninth (227) were enrolled
in -literature, 194 in arts ad sci
ences, ad only nine ip chemistry.
BRITAIN ALARMED
BY RAPID RISE IN
COSTS OF LIVING
COMMISSION NAMED BY NEW
GOVERNMENT TO FIND CAUSE
—BALDWIN MAY FALL.
LONDON, Eng., Jan. 9.—Britain is
waging a grim, losing battle against
a steady, unrelently rise in the pi’ice
of food.
With an army of well over a mil
lion unemployed swarming over the
country, and with a wail for a cheap
er dinner pail going lip from those
lucky enough to have jobs, the gov
ernment faces a winter of stern dis
content.
Bread promises to play a big part
in the fate of Premier Stanley Bald
win’s second Torr-y cabinet.
Even labor itself, as represented
by the preceding administration of
Ramsay Macdonald, found it hu
manly impossible to stem the
mounting tile of living costs. In
June, after Macdonald had already
been in office for five months, the
price of food still ivas 60 per cent
above the pre-war level. By No
vember, when Baldwin returned to
power, it had risen steadily to 79,
6 per cent above the figure for
November 1, 1923.
During the month of October alone
the retail costs of food, rent, cloth
ing, fuel light and other items in
the w’orkingman’s budget bounded
from 76 per cent above pre-war to
80. Food prices advanced seven
points in October.
Bread is blamed almost entirely
or the recent leaps and bounds ni
the general rise. And the public has
been further frightened by stories
that the four-pound loaf will go to
2 shillings (about ($0.46) by Janu
ary. Experts have protected that
the world’s wheat situation does not
justify the scare.
The “Economist” has estimated
the total wheat yield for 1924 will be
145,560,000,000 pounds as compared
with 159,950,000,000 last year, these
figures not including Australia.
Despte the experts’ feeling of
comparative optimism, the price of
a sack of flour w'ent up 45 cents in
London early in Novemtypr, and the
crying protest against a dearer loaf
rang louder.
Baldwin has shown that he is
thoroughly alive to the possibilities
of the situation. One of the first
things he did after returning to
Downing street was to set up a com
mission to investigate living costs.
Appointment of Sir Auckland Ged
des as chairman reflects the im
portance attached to the govern
ment’s fight. It is Sir Auckland’s
first official assignment since he
relinguished the British ambassa
dorship at Washington.

OLD CRIPPLE CREEK
BOOMING AGAIN AS
NEW GOLD IS FOUND
TWO MINES Hs-LOW 1 OOO-FOOT
LEVEL AMONG BEST IN
THE WORLD.
CRIPPLE RETEK, Colo., Jan. 8.—
Monern machinery and the genius
ot the geologist are making a mod
ern bonanza of Cripple Creek.
This mining camp—probably the
greatest gold producer in the world
has struck a prosperity wave of ts
own and threatens to equal if not
eclipse its former records.
Cripple Creek, from an area two
and a half miles square and 1,000
feet deep, has produced 420 million
dollars in precious metals. The min
ing man asks whether another 420
million dollars will be found in the
next 1,000 feet.
The United States government
thought enough of the question to
check up on it. Gerald Lauglin, in
charge of the metaliferous deposits
division of the United States geolo
gical survey, has been in the field
seeking the answer.
Two mines which have gone below
the 1,000 foot level are among the
best paying mines in Colorado to
day. One of them—the Portland—
opened up new bodies of golden
wealth at a depth of 2,700 feet—in
its third thousand feet. The other—
the Cresson—is also in its third
thousand feet, and still producing
at its accustomed rate.
The old time miner and prospector
could not delve into these deeper ore
bodies for the volcanic cone which
holds Cripple Creek’s wealth, held
also millions of gallons of w^ater in
every vertical foot. Drainage tun
nels and huge pumps were necessary
and these the pioneer miner did not
have.
The Roosevelt deep drainage tun
iiel-*-five miles long, and cross-cut- t
ling the district near (he two thous
and foot level—was completed in
1916, after nine years of work, hin
dered by the world war and short
age of labor.
The Portland and Cresson mines—
the only two to avail themselves of
deep drainage—have achieved 100
per cent results by it. The Cresson,
200 feet below the two thousand le
vel, is pumping water at the rate of
1,400 gallons a minute.
The world war threw its gloom
over Cripple Creek. The high pro
duction costs of the period drove
stout-hearted • miners into bank
ruptcy and fainthearted ones home
to protect their cash. The Portland
accumulated $125,000 in debts but
today it has some of the best pros- #
pects in the state.
Economic conditions in the last de
cade made it hard sledding for Crip
ple Creek miners — the one who
stuck—but now they say their faith
is justified. Cripple Creek’s coming
back!
