several hours of hard travelling over
| the Ute. trail and adjacent hills.
THE DAMAGE
II is difficult matter. even now, to
| tell just how much damage those few
short hours of flood did The first
washout was about one and half
miles down the canon, from the Dora
smelter and from there to Marshes 5
station, lust at the head or the gorge
of the canon, mt one single mile of
track remains whole. Around Black
burn, Soda Springs and Fairy Glen
/ the damage is very great. It is esti-
|.mkted that not much less than six
~ y ahe dump is gone in the up
[pgr. ~ sGgfep Ehile the ties
gorge is but little injured. From
where the toll road leaves the creek
= great portion of the railroad is
completely swept away, clear TO the
mouth of the stream. Every bridge
is gone and the abutment under the
big bridge across the Arkansas was
taken out, letting that structure
down. All that held it from going
out was the ties and rails. A corps
of engineers are out resurveying the
damaged portion of the line which
will have to be rebuilt from the very
beginning 1t is estimated that 1t
will require So, 900 to repair the first
six miles of the road from this eud
of the canon. All of thirteen miles
of new dump will have TO be thrown
up aud some of it supplied with new
ties and iron. In many places the
current of the stream is now running
where the road was laid. The toll
road is very badly damaged, to how
great an extent is not yet known. 1t
will require at least thirty days to
place the railroad track in shape to
run trains over it and this estimate
of lime is the minimum.
INCIDENTS.
The water came mp to the door of
the Dora smeltcr.
I, 4 great bridge timber lies across
the toll road just above the hot
springs fully five hundred yards from
the creek.
A great mass of drift composed of
every kind of debris, logs, trees, ties,
bridge timbers, found lodging in the
cottonwoods just above the mouth of
the stream.
The first drift which came down
the Arkansas was so closely packed
that an expert Jumper could have
crossed from one side to the other.

Two, passenger and n freight, near

During the first rush OF the food a

got upon log and was carried out
of sight down the torrent Ofcourse
il was never expected to sec him
again but four days afterwards he
trotted into the house as though
nothing unusual had happened and
without scratch.
Among the passengers who walked
back Saturday night was Mrs Nj. 5.
Sar,lner's youngest daughter. she
bravcd the darkness and roughuess
of the Ute trail as well as anyone.
A good deal of baggage and express
matter was not got out until the last
of this week and IN order to get at it
a team had to be sent aronnd the old
Grape creek wagon road from Silver
Cliff.
THE LATEST.
{ The most vigorous steps have been
taken to rapair tho railroad. Five
hundred men viii be at work along
the line in a few days. 1t is now esti-
mated that the damage to the track is
about $500, 900.
