when II was rimorcd that we were
| 10 have n railroad up Andrews canyon
to the stone quarries, there were a
| great many skeptics who ridiculed the
/ idea that there was anything good In
and around Ncphi that would cause
] such men us Theodore Bruback and H.
/ s. Kerr to take any interest In. but now
that period OF mysticism and doubt has
! passed. they begin to realize that there
! IL something OF an Industry In Andrews
canyon; but they really have no con-
Ceptiun Of what II being done without
| they shake on their prcjudlccs and
/ look at n with the eye Of reason.
The now road commences at the
/ forks Of the canyon and traverscH
through the farms OF ockey and Jen-
kns and skirts the edge ~ salt creek
/ ~ IL winds ita way among the green
and shady bowers on either side OF the
stream. The scenery begins 20 assume
something Of a more poetical aspect, to
! use the term, and the trip In and out
| ~ the leafy bowers which nature seems
TO have placed there for the express
| purpose OF making the road interesting
and picturesque to artistic eyes. There
are no rough places to Jar the ease Of
| the route everything seems 10 DO Ia
smooth and ship shape order. The road
/ n splendid piece OF engineering skin
and reflects great credit on the builders
| of the same The grading IL done In
D o.
/ McsHrs. Goldshrough. SparkeH and
/ Cazier, have reason TO be proud OF tho
| looks OF the grade now that u IL
| finished. In some places there have
/ been extremely dinicult cuts 10 make,
ana In one place a twcnty-foot cut
meets the cye' but the rails that now
run between make the roadbed "a
| fascinating object to look upon.
The terminus at the foot of Andrews
] canyon IA met by n cable line to tho
! quarry proper ana there the engineers
skin II shown Ia a different form,
! Three steel rails running parallel TIL
the center Of the high grade IL reached
when a double curve IL made 80 az to
allow two cars to pass az the same
! time. and the loaded car II the propell-
Ing power u being sont down the grade
while at the other and OF the cable,
rising up the grade. II the empty car;
! the cable IL 10 made that the two cars
| the same spot, 20 that no motive power
! ~ used to propel the cars save the ca
| Bile which runs round the drum ana
the heavy car nt the end
Up at the quurrlcs there are about
twenty TO twenty-five men employed.
and from what we can understand they
are liable 10 stay nj work In the quar-
/ rites for some time, as tho rock II pros
uounced the finest ever seen IN the
State, and the orders for tho rock are
coming In thick and fast, and from
appearances there sccms to be a build
/ Ing boom upon the threshold OF tho
state.
We have TO compliment tho Sanpetc
/ Valley railroad ana It's officers on tho
enterprise which they have shown In
! this matter, and we also have to COM
| pliment Manager Cazier on the logged
! determination which he showed 10 nc.
l Complish the results we see today.
The Cooper stone quarriea are a de-
/ Cided success. and the railroad Is a gem
