frequently goes off the line, but crow

is persuaded to return to its proper

Stimulate the Blood.

Brandreth's Pills are the great blood
purifier. They are laxative and blood
tonic, they act equally on the bow
els, kidneys and skin, thus cleansing
the system by the natural outlet of
the body. They stimulate the blood
so to enable nature to throw off all
morbid humors and cure all troubles
arising from an impure state of the
blood. One or two taken every night
will prove an invaluable remedy.
Each pill contains one grain of solid
extract of sarsaparilla, which, with
other valuable vegetable products,
make it blood purifier unexcelled.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

WILL BE Railway woNoes.
Ar Line Planned to Run underarouno
Coed Many Miles.

-, 'N't anu DlSSest project OF
David H. Moffat, the Colorado railroad
man Is an air line from Denver to
sat Lake City over the continental
divide, midway between the Union
Pacific on the north and the Rio
urande on the south, says the Rail-
road Mans Magazine.
David Moffat has dug down into his
own pocket and built several railroads
winch nobody else had the courage to
tackle. He made money every time.
But the present proposition is the
stinest one he has encouraged yet.
AS soon as the scheme was preached
1t met with opposition from the roads
that would be effected by it, When
II was suggested that Moffat was at
last up against a job too big for him
and that he could not get route one
who knew him well remarked con.
| fidently:
! A right of way block David Moffat?
guess not. If there's no other chance
nell cuss a right of way through"
He didn't have to go to such an exr
IRENE, but he did have to furnish the
money for the building. New York
capitalists whom he visited refused to
advance any money for the building,
so he said.
Never mind. I'll build it myself.
We have little money out in Col.
orado, | and my friends. We can all
chip in and guess among us we can
make up fair sized pot. The road is
one of the plums of Colorado, but it'll
take little shaking to bring it down"
1t took more than a fair sized pot
as the preliminary work for the sur
Veys cost quarter of million dol
lars. The Burlington had tried to get
over the mountains and had become
frightened when million dollars had
been put into the work and brought
no visible results and Moffat bought
the rights the Burlington had &C.
quired.
The first fifty miles of road out of
Denver cost 100000 a mile, and the 80
miles up the foothills to the Main
Range tunnel cost 100000 a mile, all
this for grading before a single tie
was laid.
In IL miles there are 30 tunnels
through solid granite, and the road
has every conceivable sort of curve
from a horseshoe TO a tennis racket
Bridges and fills cost a million dollars
Steam Shovel cut, through rock, is 2,
200 feet long and averages 40 feet
deep.
The Main Range tunnel. nearly
three miles in length, is under James
Peak, at an elevation of $500 feet
and cost three-quarters of million
dollars. William Cook, whose firm
had the contract for building one OIL
the worst sections of the road, tool
down 10000 cubic yards of granite
with one blast, using 1000 kegs o.
black powder and IS boxes of dyna
mite to do it.
The worst part of the road, the
way through the mountains, has beer
conquered and what remains to bC
done is comparatively easy. Through
out, the road is of standard gauge, 8,
600 heavy Texas pine ties to the mile
instead of the usual $500, and so
pound rails. and all equipment fittet
for heavy through traffic. 1t was ;
magnificent conception in railroad
building, and it took magnifcen
courage to risk millions of dollars il
a venture that had swallowed million
and given no return.
