DENVER, Sept. ., 1881.
To the Editor of the ENTERPRISE.
Among The grand enterprises of the
Continent none deserves a higher
place than that of the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad, which has since its
organization in 1865 transformed the
whole State of Colorado and opened up
its mountain vastness to civilization and
commercial prosperity. The noble men
who were ut the beginning of this
great undertaking -'builded better than
they knew" and their early plan to
build abroad through the trail of the
olden time at the base of the Rockies, to
supply the wants of the mining districts
has odtgrown itself, and the narrow
gauge road pierces every canon and
pass of these gold and silver ribbed
mountains. Through the politeness of
F. C. Minus, the gentlemanly passen-
ger agent, of this great corporation,
your correspondent travelled this road
for six weeks over every portion of the
State. To a "tenderfoot" every section
is a new experience, q succession of nov
ell and interesting enterprises.
In 1860 apost Office was first opened
in Denver, and now a city of &C, 900 in
habitants, and all the wealth of this
great State, its mines, its rail roads and
manufacturing enterprises, are the
fruitage and garnering of the last twen-
ty years, Grading on the d. 81 r. G..
road began in March 1871, and the first
train reached Colorado Springs-76
miles from Denver-October 9th of
the same year. On the 18th of June 1862
the road was extended to Pueblo on the
south. From that day to this the OFF,
GERS Of the road, with an energy that
has overcome all obstacles, have push
ed forward the work until it Is known as
the 'sDunkiest, biggest little road in
America" Lines now in operation
reach terminal points at Denver, Mani
tou Springs, Silver Cliff, Gunnison
City, Maysville, Kokomo, Rcd Cliff, Sill
verton, Espanola in New Mexico, and
other points. About 1000 miles of
road is now operated, with an equip
ment and outfit equal to that of any
railway on the Continent. A larger
force by several thousand than that of
the u. 5. army are upon the pay
rolls of the company in its construction
department, Men are paid s2.25 per
day, and board guaranteed at $500 per
week. Work out of hours is paid for at
double day rates. Even at these prices
great difficulty is experienced in retain
ing laborers. Italians, half-starved
and poorly paid in the faderland, come
here and pitch into the work with an
exuberant Zeal, but soon they catch an
inspiration from the Yankee, are tempt
ed TO try their hand in prospecting,
and OF they 60 to the mines. The
Denver and Rio Grande have Just ar
ranged for an extension of their line
to Salt Lake City, and that is the pre-
face to its construction 70 the Pacific
Coast. Indeed the narrow gauge has
such advantages in cheapness of build
and equipments, and the expense OF
operating is So diminished, that a few
