DRAINAGE TUNNEL

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, May 11.
The building of the great Crlppte
Creek drainage tunnel Inaugurated to.
day by th governor of the state and
distinguished visitors, marks an epoch
In the history of the famous gold
camp.
About 14 years ago Wlnflold Scott
Stratton, a Colorado Springs carpenter,
began spending bis scant earnings In
prospecting some outcropping In the
Crlppte Creek cow pasture. On the
fowrh of July, 1891', he located ai
claim on a vein which gave him rich
assays and he oalled that claim the
Independence. He subsequently locat -
ed many other claims In that neighbor
hood and a few years ago sold his
property to an English syndicate for
$10,000,000 after extracting many mil
lions from It himself. In the sue
ceedlng years the Cripple Creek cow
pasture was transformed Into a boom
ing mining camp.
When the high grade ore bodies on
the known volns bad been extracted
down to the soo foot point the water
troubles of the district began. A
drainage tunnel was therefor con
ceived and eventually driven to cut
the main water courses of tho district
at a depth of 000 feet, but that tun-lore
nel was not deen enough. The shafts
soon reached the tunnel level and i and Importance of thl project can be
water troublos were again encountered. ' bes coneelved by means , of figures
After months or Investigation It was (showing what it will add, In dollars
decided to drive a deep drainage tun-1 and cents, to the world's gold produc
nel which' would drain the camp Atjtion.

great depth. The cost of such an
undertaking Is enormous, approxL
mating $1,000,000. The principal own
ers, the olttsens of Colorado and the
railroads and smelter Joined forces
and contributed to the raising of a
fund to drive the tunnel. The work
was started a few weeks ago and pro
gressing as fast as men and money
can carry It forward.
The portal of the tunnel is located
on the stream known a Cripple Creek
and 1 situated at an elevation of 8020
feet above sea level. It will drain the
entire Cripple Creek district at a
depth of about 1330 feet from the sur
face ",or 730 feet below the present
water level. The district Is drained at
present by the El Paso tunnel which
cuts the El Paso mine on the west
side of the district (on Beacon Hill),
at a depth of about too feet from the
surface and the Vindicator mine, on
the east side of the camp, at a depth
of 1275 feet It will therefore be seen
that the new tunnel will drain the
Beacon Hill section at a depth of
about 1330 feet and the east side at a
depth of about 2000 feet from the
surface. ? i ? r 1
The deepest shaft In the camp Is
now about 1S00 feer The new tun
nel will therefore make available all
the way from 700 to 1200 feet of ad
ditional ore bodies below the present
water level and this will add millions
In production. ' ,
The length of this tunnel from its
1 portal to the mam contact near the
El Paso shaft, at which point It is
expected to drain the district Is about
14,000 feet, figuring at the rate of $50
per foot, would cost $700,000 to this
point. To continue It to the Vindi
cator, a further distance of 12,000 feet
as estimated, would cose an additional
$360,000. ...v.
It Is figured that It will take about
two years to dig to the contact and
between one and one-half to two
years longer to build, the tunnel to
the Vindicator shaft, or a total of from
three and one-half to four year on,
construct the tunnel. But all thl tlme
will be extracted from the upper
- and reclaimed levels. The magnitude!.

The Cripple Creek district ha thus
far produced mor "than $2i0,000,000.
During 1908 the production wa nearly
$17,000,000 and this rate of produo.
tton haa been steadily maintained for
years. ' ' t--.
It is estimated that the driving of
the deep drainage tunnel will enable
the Cripple Creek district to double
Ita present record.
