A Great Enterprise.

EVER since men began to dig for sill
yer and gold in Colorado, one of the
many hard things they have had to do
has been the journeying into the rich
silver-regions of the San Juan country.
The great Sangre di CristO Range,
with its mcounted peaks, all from
1900 to $1,000 feet high, is a barrier
which only seekers after gold or after
liberty would have courage to cross.
One of the most picturesque sights
which the traveller in Southern ColOra-
do, during the past two or three years,
has seen, has been the groups of white
topped wagons creeping westward
toward the passes of this range; some
times thirty or forty together, each
wagon drawn by ten, fifteen or even
twenty mules; the slow-moving process
sions look like caravan-lines in a dcs-
ert; two, three, four weeks on the road,
carrying in people by households; car
rying in food and bringing out silver
by the ton; back and forth, back and
forth, patient men and patient beasts
have been toiling every summer from
June to October.
This sort of thing does not 60 on for
many years before railroad comes to
the rescue. Engineering triumphs where
brute force merely evades; the steam
engine has stronger lungs than mules
or men, and the journey which was
counted by weeks is made in hours.
Such feat as this, the Denver Il Rio
Grande Railroad (narrow-gauge) is
now performing in Colorado. A little
more than year ago, / saw the plow-
share cut the first furrOw for its track
through the cuchuras meadows at the
foot of the Spanish Peaks. One day
