The narrow gauge train men say there
is fifteen feet of snow on the D. & r. g.
line leading over Cumbres mountain to
Chama, Durango and Silverton. A rotary
snow pillow is at work east of Chsma and
an engine and large force of shovellers
are bucking the beautiful between Chama
and Monero. They say that
if the road is opened in
ten days only the best good luck can do
it. Since February 16 no mail has gone
west of Chama. A car load Of mail now
lays at Espanola, part of which has
been taken to Chama overland by W. E.
Broad's teams. Mr.. Broad receives $50 a
round trip for taking up the mail and the
passenger fare from Chama to Espanola
is 500.
The Athletic club now has eighteen
members, and it is proposed to increase
its usefulness as local organization by
removing into more convenient quarters,

making it in all respects a club room
where business men can assemble al
their pleasure. Aside from the athletic
room there will be apartments devoted to

evidence Of proving successful.
