Mud Mountain.

The principal railroad of Costa Rlca
now but III miles long. Is just being eT-
tended TO reach from San Jose TO the
Pacific Coast. The general manager OF
Tho road, speaking OF the enterprise re-
Gently, said
There Is one place on The road which
has given the engineers a great deal Of
trouble, and which has cost many thou
sands Of dollars every year since the
road was built. This place Is about As
miles from Port Limon, and Is called
Busmud. For about 600 feet the track
runs along a ledge on the side Of a
mountain. with the river Reyenta Zon
below. The mountain Is composed OK
blush clay which turns into mud dur
ing the rainy season and Keeps con-
stantly sliding down on the tracks We
have 90 keep big gang Of men at
work day and night cleaning the road

are very heavy traffic has TO be suspen-

down over the roadbed that we could
not run trains there for three weeks
10 add TO the difficulty there is a
lake back OF the mountain, and the
water from this lake perco.ates through
the mountain and keeps 1t constantly
wet. The lake was drained by the en-
gineers, but they discovered that It was
fed by springs. and still the mountain
was kept In wet state and the mud
kept sliding down over the tracks.

IN the mining region OF California as

Of the vein between the 200 and 600

the nearest guess the management can
