The sister peaks, twenty-three of which
are higher than Pixies, many of which can
be seen from the summit. stand out like
sentinels, while the foothills in the distance
appear like the great waves and pillows of
the ocean. In the brilliant sunlight the

No wonder the ambitious tourist is
anxious to climb this famous mountain,
the most historic in the great range. Gen.
turtles before it was known to Americans,
this great white mountain" was the point
from which the Indians of the plains and
the early Spanish explorers took their
bearings.
Major Zebulon Pike, who discovered this
peak November Is, 1905. and for whom 1t
was named, attempted to climb to the
summit. He and some of his men reached
the top of Cheyenne mountain. where is
now the honored resting place of Helen
Hunt Jackson. Major Pike says he saw
the grand peak" as he supposed. some
fifteen Or sixteen miles distant. He did
not dare to attempt to go further, for his
men were nearly perishing in terrible
snowstdfm, and for forty -eight hours had
been without food.

Two cog rails of coca steel are placed in
the center of the track. 1t is claimed
that one cog rail would be sufficient, but
two are used to guard against accident and
insure safety. The average rate of speed

maximum OF eight, although the train

Every means possible has been used to
insure safety, and it is claimed that the en-
CINE can be stopped instantly, when going
at the rate of three miles an hour, and in
twenty inches when going at the rate OF
eight miles an hour. The cars are not
coupled, and each one has individual cog
wheel brakes The engineers claim that
this line is safer than one operated on level
ground. Cross sections of masonry are
sunk about every three hundred feet to
which the track is tied. There are three
solid iron bridges. but no trestle work.
The road, starting frsm near the iron
spring, goes to the headwaters of Ruxton

Englishman who visited these springs in
18a7. and wrote an extensive account OF
them.
