Chicago & Alton railroad has proved
SO successful that the management OF

ing with the train. Near the engineer
in the cab is an indicator which keeps
him informed of the conditions within
the blocks where he is the center. If
a train approaches within two miles
to the rear green light shows on the
indicator and a warning bell calls the
attention of the engineer. If the train
is to the front red light flashes and
a bell rings.
The signals are reciprocal and the
engineers on both trains receive them
at the same instant.

department that the said agricultural
lands properly should not be included
in said reservation, Mr.. Ryan, the act
ing secretary, took the subject up for
further consideration, and directed
the United States Geological Survey to
make supplemental report stating
specifically whether the reservation of
these agricultural lands is necessary
for the conservation and protection of

report has been made and shows that
the reservation of these lands is not
necessary for that purpose, but that
they were included in the surveys

David Moffatt, of Denver, is the
wealthiest man in Colorado, which
outranks all other states in per capita
wealth. Colorado has the further dis
tinction that most of its vast fortunes
were made within its boundaries, not
alone in mining. but in the cattle in
dustry, in realty, speculation, in fruit,
sugar beet culture, potato farming,
and in manufacturing and other mer-
camille pursuit. There are 10S resi-
dent millionaires in Colorado, their
total wealth being about $260,000, ,000.
Mr.. Moffatt is worth from s25 100000

Grand Canon Aerial Tramway.

The gigantic gorge Of the Grand
canon of the Colorado is soon to be
spanned at its widest point by an
aerial tramway which will carry pas
sengers at a height of 5000 feet from
the bottom of the Bright Angel trail
10 the top of Buckskin plateau.
From this eminence the Coconino
country. Arizona, may be seen plainly,
with California and Nevada to the
westward, Utah on the north and
Colorado and New Mexico away to the
east
OF all the expeditions which have
been made to the Grand canon from
the very bottom of the gorge to the top
Of Buckskin or Kaiben plateau, reached
by circuitous twelve-mile trail, none
has disclosed the wonders of scenery
which a ride on the aerial will offer.
J By the anchoring of cable some 500
| feet in length to the wall of rock on
either side of the gorge on which will
be operated a cage or car and the fur

north side of the huge crevice it is
proposed to transfer tourists from the
bottom of the Bright Angel trail to the
top of the plateau. To build this aerial
tramway company has just been in
corporated at Kanab, Utah.
From the height which tourists will
attain one may locate by means of q
powerful glass the various cities OF
southern California. Much of the Nor.
mon state could be seen in this way
while the dry desert air of Arizona
would permit splendid long distance
views of that territory.
Surveys and an estimate place the
cost at about $4,000. In connection
with the establishment of the aerial

Two more of the twelve articles,
numbers four and six, were disposed

mutual pledges to observe the integ-
rity of China and the policy r'of the
open door" for the commerce of all
nations, and article six covers the sur
render of the Russian leases to the
Liaotung peninsula, Port Arthur,
Dalny and the Blonde and Elliott
islands.
To article four both parties gave
ready assent. and the official state
ment of the adoption of that article
took care to state that it was agreed
to unanimously"
