SCALING THE HEIGHTS OF THE 81
EZRA MADRE MOUNTAINS.
Progress of Prof. loves New Pasadena
Mountain Railway from the Foot
hills to Summit Hotel
5000 Feet Above

Perhaps the most important enter
prise in Southern California which has
taken definite shape during the year
1892 is the Pasadena Mountain railway,
connecting the cities of Los Angeles and
Pasadena with the summit of the Sierra
Madre mountains, upwards of 5000 feet
above sea level. This important road,
which is now approaching completion,
combines unique features of construc-
ton, scenery, climate and environment
that are destined to make it the most
attractive railway of its class in the
world.
Following are the principal mountain
railroads now in existence, all of which
are paying handsome dividends, some as
high as 80 per cent: The Mt. Washing
ton of New Hampshire; Mt. Pilatus and
Mt. Rigi, on the Alps; Mt. Vesuvius, in
Italy; the Drachenfels and Neiderwald,
on the Rhine; Catskill mountain, in
New York; Neversink mountain, in
Pennsylvania; Lookout mountain, in
Tennessee; the island of Hong Kong, in
Asia, and lastly, the cog-wheel road re-
Gently completed to the summit of
Pixies Peak, which had more business
offered to it in the brief summer season
during which it can be operated than it
could take care Of.
The Pasadena Mountain railway will
not be subject to any such limitations,
but can be operated IL months in the
year, for each month will have peculiar
attractions, both for the resident popu
lation of 250, 900 in Southern California
and for the annually increasing stream
of tourists that make this "New Italy,"
this New America this 'sNew Swift
zer'and," this earthly paradise" as it
has been variously called, their Mecca.
The road as originally projected was
to ascend Wilson's peak some I5 miles
northeast Of Pasadena, but the genius
of Professor Lowe, the protector of the
enterprise, discovered nearer and
shorter route to higher summit, the
eliminating peak of the Sierra Madre

1t is pleasure to chronicle the advance

certainly no more delightful place could

months than at this popular resort.
amid the flowers. orange blossoms and
ever charming climate of the beautiful
San Gabriel valley. This hotel is sup
piled with every modern convenience,
gas, elevator, steam heat. etc.
Street cars pass the door every Is min
utes, connecting with every part OF the
city, railroad stations, etc.; while car
riages meet all trains for the benefit of
patrons.
Among other advantages are perfect
sanitary conditions, a table second to
none, and pure mountain water. An
excellent livery is connected with the
house, and guests are supplied with
first-class rigs at reasonable terms. The
rates for board. including rooms, run
from So. 80 to $3.50 per day, according to
location of apartments.
A special feature of the hotel is its
social life. During the season no pains
are spared by the management to fur
nish entertainment and amusement for
the guests, and the liberal patronage
which has been bestowed in the past
shows how much these efforts have been
appreciated by the public.

range, directly north of Pasadena, and
a method of surmounting the elevation
to be overcome which would save time
and distance in making the journey.
The road as now built extends from
the Mountain junction connection with
the Los Angeles Terminal road near Pas
adena TO the Rubio Canon falls, dis
tance of nearly 21a miles, over IL sub
stantial bridges and along the eide of
the mountain, much of the way being
terraced out of the solid granite. A pa
vilion, built across the cafion at an alti-
tude of 1000 feet and in sight of ro-
mantle waterfall, will form one of the
attractions of the road.
At this point the tourist takes the
cable incline, which is 5000 feet in
length, and by single lift lands him on
the summit of Echo mountain, $500 feet
above sea level, and 1900 feet higher
than the famous Catskill hotels over
looking the Hudson. Here large hotel
is projected, four stories in height and
450 feet in length. From its verandas
view of unsurpassed loveliness is spread
before the traveller. San Gabriel valley,
traversed by three lines of railway,
dotted with score of cities and villages
and diversified by emerald orange groves,
brown cultivated fields and undulating
pasture lands, constitutes the foreground
| of the picture. On the left a. succession
of mountain ranges rise into snowy
peaks, and on the right are the flashing
waves of the blue Pacific, bordered by
numerous picturesque islands.
! From the Echo Mountain house the
road ascends by an easy grade, skirting
the wonderful chasm known as Grand
cafion, and gliding and winding through
wooded mountain valleys till it reaches
the summit of Mt. Lowe, the highest
peak in the range visible from Pasade-
ma, being upwards of 5000 feet above the
sea, or about the same height as the
summit OF Mt. Washington. 1t COM
mands magnificent view, the horizon
being nearly 100 miles distant in every
direction. Here the summit hotel will
be built from granite quarried on the
spot. Back or north of Mt. Lowe is the
highest peak in the range, which recent
triangulations of the United States geo.
logical survey has determined to be
6723 feet in height. This lofty summit
is reserved for great astronomical OBJ
servatory, and the mountain railway
will be extended to it. Radiating from
the Echo Mountain house are 15 miles
of bride roads for the use of patrons oi
the railroad while it's extension to the
| summit is being built.
1t is expected that the road will be
! completed to the Echo mountain sum-
/ NIT early in February, when passengers
will be conveyed over this first section
and the mountain railroad will begin to
derive revenue.
