TO PUT new TRACK
THROUGH THE
GORGE
Especial to The sentinel.)

Canon City, Sept. 2.-The Denver
and Rio Grande Railroad company is
preparing to begin the work of i'm
pproving its tracks through the Royal
Gorge by taking up the existing rails
entirely and substituting new ones.
A construction gang is already here
and a rail bending machine is being
set up in the lower yards and will be
used to give the steel the curvature
needed to conform to the many
crooks and turns in the track through
the famous canon. The new rails
weigh S5 pounds to the yard and the
ties will be of oak brought here from
Oregon and California for this par
ticular work. Eighteen cars of steel
rails are already here and the first
installment of ties will arrive this
week.
The old rails which are apparently
in good condition will be used at
other points on the road where the
strain upon them is not so great as
here. On account of the grade
through the Royal Gorge, which is
something like 90 feet to the mile,
and the serpentine character of the
track, the strain upon the rails and
ties is extraordinary. The work
which is under the supervision of
Superintendent Rockwell of Pueblo.
will begin near the Hot Springs hotel
and end at Parkdale.

Some very interesting railroad ru-
mors are given announcement in the
following report received today from
Denver: ei
The Colorado & Southern railroad
is preparing to make itself physical
ly Independent of the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Union Pacific, and
with that object in view has begun
the location of a new line between
Pueblo and Walsenburg, to be built
at a cost of 81 100000, and is max
ing surveys for connecting its north
ern line with Cheyenne.
1t is believed among local officials
that the Colorado Midland is to be
taken over by interest friendly to the
Rio Grande. and that road is to be
connected with Denver by new cut
off.
The Colorado & Southern at pres
ent operates over the Rio Grande
tracks between Pueblo and Walsen-
burg, and over the Union Pacific be-
tween Denver and Cheyenne.
1t is learned from an authentic
source that the engineers have been
engaged in locating the new Walsen-
burg line for two months or more,
and that the route selected will be
about 60 miles in length. Final To-
cations have been made over the first
80 miles. The surveys for the north
ern extension are from Wellington
to Cheyenne. 1t is expected that the
work on these improvements will sbe-
gin soon after the first of the year.

down the Platte. to Lake George on
the Midland.
1t was learned this morning from
an official in a position to know that
the Midland had secured this survey
in 1880 under another corporate
name, and that, when the time limit
for holding the right of way over
public domain had expired. the Rio
Grande took it up and has filed ON it
in its own name.
Meetings have been called for the
stockholders of all of the auxiliary
companies which are consolidated
with the Rio Grande to be held in
this city on September 10. These
meetings will start at am and con-
tinue throughout the day. j. r.
Vaile, general counsel for the Rio
Grande, who is now in New York in
consultation with Mr.. Gould. will re-
turn to the city within the next few
days to take charge of these meet
ings and to represent Mr.. Gould in
the reorganization plans.
Notes amounting to 10000, 900
have already been underwritten in
anticipation of the action at the
meeting on the 10th authorizing an
issue of SIS. 100000 short term notes
and an additional $5,0O0.000 will
probably be underwritten by the syn
dicate as soon as the meeting is ov-
er.
