TELLURIDE, June 1.-The Key.
stone Slide on Decoration day lowered
or settled A feet, but did not move
an lncn all day yesterday until in the
evening, when 1t took Il lurch down
ward of about one foot. II is Thought
now that the slide Is practically set
tied, and If there are no other move
ments during the next few days The
Rio Grande company may undertake
to reconstruct its tracks over the dis
turbed area.
The cause OF this huge slide has
been found To be the unusual large
quantity of water flowing from above
and loosening the mass of earth
which rested On slanting bed rock
Part Of the old railway track bed now
rests about goo feet lower than where
II formerly I'D The mass OF earth
which has been moved downward Is
probably about COO feet at its greatest
depth. The angle appears to be
about As degrees. 1t is thought pos
soble to restore the railway when the
sliding movement ceases, by making
curve back into the hill where the
former plane has been taken away.
There is probably 400 feet of earth
still resting above bed rock In the
slide section.
