nuILoINe THE ANDES RAILROAD.
a Quarter OF Biiiion Expended and
Nearly 900 Lives Sacrificed.

Nearly 1000 Lives sacrtuced.
The railroad was begun by Mr. Meigs
n 1870 Starting from the sea, II ascends
fhe narrow valley of the once sacred
Rimac, rising 5000 feet in the first 40
miles to beautiful valley, where the
people of Lima have found an attractive
summer resort: then it follows wind
ing, giddy pathway along the edge of
precipices and over bridges that seem
suspended in the air, tunnels the Andes at
an altitude 1886 feet-the most elevated
spot in the world where piston rod is
moved by steam-and ends at Orova
ATS feet above the sea. Between
the coast and the summit there is not an
inch of down grade, and the track has
been forced through the mountains by a
series of 63 tunnels, whose aggregate
length is 81, 900 feet. The great tunnel
of Galeria. by which the pinnacle ot the
Andes is pierced, will be, when COM
pleted, 800 feet long, and will be the
highest elevation on the earth's surface
where any such work has been under
taken. Besides boring the mountains Of
granite and blasting the clefts along the
sides 10 rest the track upon, steep cut
tings and superb bridges, the system OF
reverse tangents had TO be adopted In
canyons that were too narrow for u curve,
So the track zigzags up the mountain
side, on the switch and back-up principle,
the trains taking one leap forward, and
after being switched on to another track
another leap backward, until the summit
is won: so that often there are four and
lve lines of track parallel to each other,
one above another, on the mountain side.
1t is estimated that the construction OF
the road cost Peru 1000 lives from pes
thence and accident Land slides, falling
powders, premature explosions, sorra-
che-a disease which attacks those who
are not accustomed TO the raw air of the
high altitudes-fevers caused by deposits
of rotten granite, and other causes, re-
suited in frightful mortality during the
eeyen years the road was under construc-
ton, but the project was pushed on until
the funds gave out. The cost II human
life was no obstacle.
1t takes apower of steam to ascend this
road with its average grade OF per cent,
but in coming down the boilers are al
lowed to cool, and only steam enough IS
kept to hold the brakes and blow the
whistler We came down part way in o
hand car at the rate Of mile in two
minutes, and it was as exciting ride as
one can imagine.
The completion of the line to the min
ing regions will cost 0,0OO, 900, but the
portion Of the line already constructed
and in operation, with all its rolling
stock, station houses and equipments OF
every sort, Mr. Grace gets for practically
nothing, as under the conditions OF q
ninety-nine years lease he has the use OF
the railroad and all that belongs with it,
for nothing for the first seven years, and
pays but $25,000 year rental for the
property during the remainder OF the
term.-New York Mail and Express.

Late researches show that Martin Lu-

The circular sent out some time ago is re-
turned with the blanks filed as requested
in some cases, but large per cent Of the

chants and others seem inclined to be care
less in the matter. 1T is impossible" said
Mr.. Phelps, Ito tell as early as this just
when the report will be ready. find that
there are 50 many other things TO be at
tended to that both Mr.. McNeale and my
self are kept busy on matters that cannot as
well be delayed as the report.
The directors i'm ten minutes can
make work enough TO keep us
busy for a week. The report will be rather
more comprehensive than similar ones
have been in the past. 1t will
contain many statistics and much valuable
information on general matters outside the
business of st. Paul. Many of these mat
tiers are fully as important to the trade as
the statements of St. Paups business. For
instance statements on the business of the
whole valley of the upper Mississippi and
on that of sections in the East. with posi-
bly, comparative statements of the volume
of trade in various sections of the country
for some years past. Possibly some sta
tistics that are not of business character.
All these are of value to business men, and
unless they are collected and put in con-
venient form in some such report they are
practically out of reach of those to whom
they are Of the Greatest use. 1t will, per-
haps, not be possible to make the report
this year as elaborate and complete as de-
sirable, owing to various circumstances,
but we can do something of this now and
next year make il complete"
