When does the raising of a submarine turn into a city event, including the local high school band members? Apparently on January 28, 1944, just such an event took place. This set of Rocky Mountain News images shows the raising of the Mountain Nautilus from the depths of Missouri Lake near Central City, Colo. What is even stranger is how the submarine ended up 1,200 miles from the nearest ocean. Who in their right mind would have even dreamed up such a thing?
Rufus Owens, that's who! Owens was an engineer, in fact he designed the water distribution system for the City of Central City. Why a sub, you ask? It seems that in the 1890's the U.S. was at war with Spain and was looking for a vessel that could, undetected, defend our coastline from a Spanish invasion. So Rufus engaged the help of two doctors to invest in the submarine. Using his plans, two local contractors, William Lamont and Fred Ballard began secretly building the Mountain Nautilus.
Once the sub was finished, Rufus needed to conduct a test run. He had planned on crawling into the submarine for its maiden voyage but concerned friends talked him out of that idea. Instead, they suggested, load it up with stones and see what happens. For some unknown reason they loaded it up with 1,500 pounds of stone. Then, as you can guess, it sunk straight to the bottom and stayed there for the next 50 odd years. Some people wonder if it was just a bad idea that was only half baked. There seemed to be no steering device or propulsion. Why use such an insane amount of weight for a test run? No one seems to know and Rufus left the area a few months later to disappear into obscurity.
After many years passed, the ill-fated sub became exposed and someone stole the hatch door. The lake was refilled and it wasn't until the U.S. became involved with the Second World War that thoughts of the sub were brought to the mind of Central City native Fred DeMandel. Fred could remember as a kid seeing the sub being built, and began to search and retrieve the sub. At first they couldn't locate it, but on Jan. 11, 1944, DeMandel spotted it. The town rallied around the sub as good as any celebrity could hope to be recognized. A day was selected to raise the sub, and a holiday was declared for the school and many, if not all, business closed. First a hole was cut in the ice above the sub. A steel tripod was erected and hooked to the sub's nose. On the first try the chain broke, damaging the sub's nose but the second attempt was a success. Around 300 people and newsmen gazed in awe while the Central City High School Band stood on the shore playing "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean". It took an hour to hoist it up to the shore. It still contained the original rocks inside, but confusing to most were the five 5-foot iron rods sticking out from both sides. This still hasn't been explained.
The sub floated around from museum to museum for years until Wm. Russell stored the sub in one of his warehouses where it sat for almost 40 years. If you would like to view this piece of history you can visit the Gilpin County Historical Society who recently purchased it from the Wm. Russell estate.

HOW I GOT MY HUSBAND BACK…
HOW I GOT MY HUSBAND BACK FROM ANOTHER WOMAN WHO HAD SPELLED HIM
I want to thank Priest Alaska for what he has done for me and my family. I was going through a terrible situation. The problem started when my husband came home from work and I noticed his personality had changed. A few months later, he told me he was no longer interested in marriage. I love my husband very much, but all my efforts to win him back were in vain. I had come to the conclusion that my husband would never return. However, I saw comments online about Priest Alaska and how he had helped others in various ways. So, my hope of getting my husband back increased, and I contacted him to tell him about my problem. He told me it was nothing serious, to relax, and that in 48 hours my husband would come home on his own. I never believed Priest Alaska because I had heard about spiritual powers, but I didn't believe they worked. To my great surprise, I saw my husband through the window and ran out to meet him. He was crying, saying he didn't know what had happened to him after seeing another woman outside of our marriage. I was so happy, and I promise to tell everyone about the great and powerful Alaska Spellcaster Priest, who brought joy back into my life. Here is the Priest's contact information: WhatsApp: +233 59 274 5728 Email: alaskaspellcaster44@gmail.com
Hello viewers, I'm here to…
Hello viewers, I'm here to share my incredible testimony with you all about a powerful sorcerer called Priest Alaska. I've never seen a sorcerer as powerful as him before. I've been playing the lottery for years and had never won a reasonable amount of money. I learned about Priest Alaska online through a testimony I saw about a man who won $11,000,000 with Priest Alaska's help, and I decided to contact him to see if I could have some luck too. I contacted him, and he assured me that he would help me win as well and that he had helped many people all over the world. At first, I was a little skeptical, but I decided to try it anyway since I had nothing to lose. He instructed me on what I had to do, which I did without any stress at all, and on the second day after the prayers, he sent me some numbers and asked me to go and play them. I quickly went to the store and played the number, and the next day I went to check the results. I couldn't believe my eyes! The exact numbers it gave me were the winning numbers. Thanks to that machine, I became a millionaire just like that. I will never stop sharing this story so everyone can see it.
