Gus regions II amounts often to a difference be-
tween entire practicability and impossibility as
between the two gauges
But the great advantage of narrow gauge is
IT'S comparative cheapness. It can be built
across level country for little more than one
half that Of the broad gauge, and over a noun
lannon's country for much less. The Kansas Pa
cIic broad gauge, built over a level plain, cost
per mile, With equipments, about S23,5 500. The
Denver and Rio Grande, over d rougher coun-
ny, cost per mile, with equipments, 500. A
broad gauge railroad Colorado Central, think
il is called,) has been built some twenty-five
miles toward the coal and other mines inEthe
mountains. 1t was proposed to extend it some
thirty miles further; surveys were made and es
Inmates Of cost obtained, which showed it could
not be built for less than $4,000 per mile, owing
to the heavy grades deep cutting, bridging and
extensive tunneling. The project of extension
on the broad gauge was abandoned and est-
mates obtained for narrow gauge. What do
You suppose the cost to be? $4,000 per mile and
with no tunnelsl The line is, | believe, already
under contract
