The construction of the proposed
line OF railway from Bueaos Ayres to
the Andes, by way of San Juan, is a
project OF equal magnitude to our own
trans-continental route. The latest es-
Inmates announce that the cost will
reach S26, 900, 900, and that among the
chief obstacles in the way are the ne.
cessity Of tunnel nearly two miles in
length, and shed covering for nearly
the entire road, as protection against
the heavy SHOWS of the Andes.
