Denver, Col.-During 1906 wonder
ful progress was made On tho con
struction of the new Pacific coast line
II the Denver 4 Rio Grande. Thirty
nine tunnels are being bored through
he mountains. There is one 75-mile'
stretch of track that viii cost 500 900
4 mile to build. The object Of this
sxpenditure in construction is to obtain
= direct and low-grade route through
the mountains.
Track is already laid from Salt
Lake City nearly to the Nevada state
tine, q distance of nearly 80 miles. In
California the track is laid into Oak
land and Stockton. It is believed the
entire line through to the coast will
be IN operation by January. 1904
Among the curious things encoun-
Uered In the construction work is IN
enormous deposit Of pure salt, found
ON the west side of the Utah desert,
not far from the Nevada state line.
This singular deposit is Is miles long
and eight miles wide. Excavations to
. depth of more than six feet are stin
in solid salt. The salt that has been
found is suitable for stock. and can
be readily refined for table use.
UnQuestionably this section was
once the bed Of the great Salt lake,
and even now may have . subterran-
can connection with that mysterious
body of water, more than q hundred
miles distant.

SEA TERROR WITH TWICE RANG
OF OLD ONES.


New York.-By devising . torpedo
propelled by steam generated In the
burning of high explosives carried
within 1t in concentrated form. Hiram
Maxim has concluded experiments
from which he asserts that the range
Df naval torpedoes win be doubled and
paval warfare revolutionised.
To meet the demand that t0rpedoes
must have effective range equal to the
gunRre to which the attacking torpedo
boat would be subjected, Mr.. Maxim
burns motorite. . new explosive. to
generate steam ut q high pressure.
and by this means the regulation naval
,orpedo is made much more e6icient
than when driven by compressed air.
