Of the catastrophe was realized.
The only hope % the rsscusfa
was to carry 10 tire wrstehed. half

machines been used in driving the
Gunnison Tunnel, it would have
been finished within the first year
and four years time saved BY the
government as we'll as the expend-
iture OF several million dollars, -
also the loss of time, during which
period thousands of acres OF land
have been put into cultivation aud
hundreds of orchards almost into
bearing in the meanwhile.
The Marshal Pass could be cut
down to an easy grade, by starting
a bore straight through the mount
ain, by entering just above Mears
junction and having exit at the
head Of Tomichi creek. This would
not only shorten the distance to
about one-fourth of that required
in climbing the mountain, but also
enable the regular trains to pass
without division or delay,

crews cut do xn in q similar pro-
portion.

TunneIing Machine A Success

Indications lead to the belief
that it will not be long, until by
the use Of tunneling machines the

ods employed. will he shortened
from months to days. Men who
have drivea tn. longest tunnels in
the world. aud constructed the
largest bridges on the continent
are upw building q tunnel machine

men. Should the Dupont tunnel
management decide to put in one
Of these machines. the big bore

of Treasury and Gslena mount
aims and pass intirely under and
through them, opening into anoth-
er gulch and stream,- that OF Yule
creek = the whole work could be
accomplished in one season.
No explosives Of any kind are
| used in the boring and consequent
ly no smoke or gas troubles, or no
danger existing from premature
explosions where these new ma.
chimes are being used.
| Water steam or electric power
may be utilized in the driving OF
machinery which is used in cutting
the rock from the tunnel and the
same transmitted over the noun

terprise in the state and will eutes
every mining camp on both sides
of the range. With one of these
wonderful tunnelling machines
employed, railway bore could be
driven entirely through Augusta
mountain into Dark canon starting
from a point which can be reached
on the Pi!tsburg side by two per
cent grade from Anthracite, four
miles above the terminus OF the
Denver and Rio Grande Railroad.
The exit of such a tunnel woold be
on the head waters Of fhe North
branch of Anthracite creek, down
which the railway would find q
water grade to Somerset where
connection would be made with
