Commander Removes Troops
Denver, Dec. 16.—A Republican special from Cripple Creek last night says:
All troops which have been stationed at the C.K. & N., one of the big Beacon hill mines, were withdrawn to-day by order of Colonel Verdeckberg, the commander of the National Guard in this district. It is believed by the military commander and his advisers that the conditions no longer require military protection. The non-union men working can fully protect themselves and have so declared themselves.
The move is a significant one, indicating the confidence the military authorities have in the situation.

It is said that it was this water course which was cut some five years ago by Superintendent Bainbridge, that then flooded the El Paso property. It was expected that the main tunnel would tap the water course in the Black Bell property, but this having failed, it is now deemed advisable to drive over to the C. K. & N.

1022Info Title:
Roosevelt Drainage Tunnel Struck Large Flow of Water
Cripple Creek Drainage
Denver Correspondence
On Friday night, Nov. 11, at a point 15,956 ft. from the portal of the Cripple Creek deep-drainage tunnel, a large flow of water was struck and so suddenly that some of the men employed barely escaped with their lives.
At present the flow is about 12,000 gal. per min. from the portal, but it will probably decrease somewhat from that.
In the C. K. & N. property, just above the drainage tunnel on Beacon hill, it is stated that the water has dropped 70 ft. during the last four days.
The Portland mine is said to be dry in its lowest workings, which will save $10,000 per month in pumping expenses.
The El Paso mine is also dry and work will be commenced at once in the 1000-ft. level.
No official measurements of the lowering of the water in the mines have yet been taken but it is said to be receding in all but the extreme eastern mines of the district.
To date the approximate cost of the tunnel has been $545,000 and it was commenced in July, 1907; the depth of the tunnel below the average water level in the mines of the district is about 730 ft. Its course is north 44 deg. 20 min. east for 14,845 ft. to a point 65 ft. east of the main shaft of the El Paso mine on Beacon hill and thence north 70 deg. east toward the Vindicator shaft on Bull hill.
At the heading where the work is going on the rock is comparatively dry. Whether the whole district will be permanently benefited by this new flow of water, will be definitely known in a few days.
