RIO eaANoe IMPROVEMENTS.
New Double Track Laid Through
Eagle River Canon.

Denyer-The work of double-track.
ing the Eagle River Canon on the
main trans-continental line Of the Den
Yer Il Rio Grande railroad Just west
or Leadville, is now completed. The
contractors, the Phillips Construction
Company & O'Gara, who commenced
work little over year ago, have
hnished their contract. and one or the
greatest engineering feats OF the year
has been successfully accomplished.
The new second track built through
the narrow Eagle River Canon has
cost more than 100000 per mile to
construct. but the relief afforded by
this great Improvement. by which
trains can be more easily operated
over the steep grade on the west side
or Tennessee Pass, will be worth many
times the cost of construction.
In the five miles of canon work
there are three tunnels with a total
length of 800 feet, being 100, 800 and
400 feet respectively. There are five
steel bridges. with reinforced con-
crete floor slab. with ballast under the
track of fine quality of crushed
rock. The steel Sirders are probably
the heaviest ever used in bridge con
struction. The track is laid with new
eiShty-iiye pound TO the yard steel,
rolled by the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company at their Pueblo plant, with
tie plates and entirely new track ma
terial throughout The new line. which
Is used for the castbound. or uphill
haul. reduces the grade from 3.3 per
cent. to % per cent. and the curva'
ture Is also greatly lessened.
The enormous outlay considering
the length OF new track) was neccssi.
tated by the constantly increasing bus
mess. both freight and passenger, OF
the Rio Grande road, and the tremen'
dous increase in volume anticipated
with the completion of the Western
Pacific year hence.
A peculiarly Of location. and one
not met with elsewhere. is the build
ing of the tracks on each side of the
Eagle river. Between the high walls
OF the narrow canon there Is just room
enough for the two tracks and the
rushing river.
From one end OF the canon to the
other and on both sides, mining for
gold. silver and lead Is being carried
on extenpively. Shaft houses and ore
bins are perched high up on narrow
lodges. and the wonder is they do not
slide into the river far below. There
Is not another canon in the Rocky
mountains traversed by railroad
where mining operations can be seen
as in this. the Eagle River Canon.
