Carlisle, Weitbrec & Dittmer. The
iirm Of railroad contractors who have
the contract for grading the Canon
City branch of the F. & &. C. road,
have begun work in real earnest and
will push the job to completion as
rapidly as possible. A force of 200
men with teams are engaged in the
work These are divided into three
camps, at Russell, at Four Mile and
at Canon 'ity. The right-of-way con-
tracts Of the F. 4 c. C. comvauy calls
Tor the running Of trains in Canon
tity hy November 10. 20 the grazing
contract must necessarily be one Of
the rush variety. The completion Of
the line will give the Cripple Greek

the Canon City coal fields and will be
OF advantage in other ways That 1t
will also be of much benefit to Canon
City goes without saying. Victor

The Canon City and Cripple Creek
Railway COMPANY, which was incor-
porated in Teller county a few days
after the county was organized. l.
now preparing to make good the
promises. Surveying parties left the
city this morning 70 run lines for the
grade and q force Of graders b fol-
lowing close on the heels Of the en-
gineers. There is no longer any ques-
ton Of the intention Of the company
10 build short line to Cripple Greek.
1t is also an assured fact that the in
corporators of the enterprise have
enough capital on hand to build .
road three times the length Of the
one projected.
Prominent capitalists of New York
and Boston and railway men of nation
al reputation appear - the promoters
of the enterprise, and there Is every
reason to suppose that the great
Santa Fe railway system is . silent
partner.
The road will be . broad gauags
steam line, capable Of carrying Santa
Fe rolling stock. 1t will have an
easy grade and . ready outlet to the
East over the Arkansas valley branch
Of the A. 7. & S. F.
The advantages TO Cripple Greek
of this line have already been pointed
out 20 many times that TO rsiterats
them is unnecessary. Suficc to say
that the completion will be the most
important event that has occurred
for ysars in this districk. and will
mark the dawn of new era Of pros
perity for the mines and for the peo-
pie.
There is not : single obstacle in
the path of the new railroad and, now
that work has actually commenced,
trains ahould BE- running directly from
Caion to Cripple Creek and Victor with
in four monshs At least - Cripple
Creek Tines.
