THROUGH THE MOSQUITO RANGE.


Mr. Julius Cohen, President Of the Red
Hill, Fairplay & Leadyil18 Railway Com
pany, and Mr.. Mark Bangs, President Of the
Mosquito Range & Leadville Tunnel &
Mining Company, at n and 70 Clark street,
received official communications last week
from the Secretaries of their respective COM
panies at Denver, stating that the engineer
corps have ustcompletel the survey OF the
second line Of the proposed railroad Con.
tracts are being made for the completion OF
the road to Fa(rplay by the lst Of July: The
Directors will at once proceed to locate the
permanent line to Ieadyille, and work will
be pushed forward as rapidly as possible.
The Tunnel Company will tunnel the Mos
quito Range, and the line when finished will
form the most important connecting link
with the mining districts around Leadville.
As the tunnel will run through a range rich
in mineral ores, it is safe to predict that some
valuable discoveries will be made. The rail-
road itself cannot fail to hs immensely
profitable, as it will practically control the
trade Of that section. The Tunnel Company
is not limited to one tunnel. and its charter
powers extend to any number of tunnels of
any magnitude In the State Of Colorado. The
companies are working in concert, and the
prospects for both are very aattering. We
are informed that the stock is being rapidly
taken up at the low rates now offered

MCNEIL, of Groton. n, T., claims to have

blower, which draws the smoke. heat and
oases from the smoke chamber and returns the

complete combustion, thereby saving from Is to
