word and the nearer the work approaches com
pieuon the more clearly is It seen that the archi-
tecI ana engineers powers proved equal TO the
uemand one Of the most severe tests to which
lher skill was put was the devising Of the tenn

rooms and the construction Of the same without
interfering in the slightest with the regular dis
patch Of more than four hundred trains in each
tWen'y-four hours and all the other multi
IaFlous business which goes on night and day at

changes have interfered with the train schedules

handle swiftly and safely the great crowds
which for instance. rushed out of town last Sat

The strangers ordered both to throw up
their hands. The cash drawers were
emptied and Wells, Fargo package,
which arrived in the morning to pay the
miners of the Torpedo and Modoc mines,

away. A marshal fired two shots which
only accelerated their pace. A posse
