HAGERMAN FUNNEL REOPENED.
Ice BLASTED Ont tn Let the First Train
Through.

LEADVILLE. Col, Oct. ls.-Today a
party Of prominent railroad men made
trip over the celebrated Hagerman pass
line. This line has been abandoned since
the completion Of the Busk Tvanhoe tun-
nell but owing to the inability of the re-
organization committee of the Colorado
Midland and the Busk tunnel people to
reach an agreement. the organization COM
mittee has caused the old line TO be re-
built and the trip referred to above Is the
first train over the line since its recon
struction.
The only difficulty experienced In recon-
structing the old line was in the Hager-
man tunnel. which for a distance of 2. 400
feet was filled practically with solid ice.
and II has required thirty DAYS continuous
labor, day and night TO dig the ice out
Fire and salt were found inadequate 10
melt Il. and IL was necessary to blast IT
out with dynamite
The Busk Ivauhoe tunnel will be aban-
doned by the Colorado Midland on the
termination Of the receivership Nov. !, and
all trains will run over the old line. reach
ing an altitude OF II. 52s feet the highest
standard gauge pass in the United States.
