MCUNE TO BUILD A GREAT RAIL
ROAD.

Salt Lake Tribune: What Is In
reality rans-continental railroad
across South America is soon to begin
construction and Salt Lake man is
the head and front of the scheme.
This man is A. w. McCune, who sew
eral years ago went to South Ameri-
ca, secured control of the Cerro de
Pasco mine and then built a railroad
from Callao on the Pacific ocean to
his mine. He encountered many OBJ
stacles, met with many reverses, but
he persevered and he won.
In the construction of this rail-
road he had to go through the Andes,
and where his road crosses the
range the pass is 14.600 feet above
sea level, while the highest point
reached by the road Is 10000 feet,
this at the mine, This is two and a
quarter miles higher up in the air
than is Salt Lake, and, as may be
imagined, the air is extremely rare
fled. Few people can live there for
any legth of time, and If there is any
lung or heart trouble the end comes
quickly. However, there are those
who can stand such an altitude, and
one man, an Englishman, in the EN-
ploy of the mining company, has
lived there for thirty-four years.
Present Terminus OF Road.
The present terminus OF the pro-
posed trans-continental railway Is at
Oroya, and from this point there Is
the railroad running up to the Cerro
de Pasco mines. The superintendent
of the railway is A. Fl. Kerr, form
err Utahn, who was superintendent of
the Sanpete Valley railroad. He left
here about four years ago to enter
the service of the South American
railroad.
When Mr.. McCune was home on
his last visit he. in talk with few
of his close friends, informed them
of the plans he had in view for a
trans-contitnental railroad across the
country. IL would be a colossal UNI
dertaking, he said, but he felt sure
that he could finance the proposition
as he had concessions from the gov
eminent of Peru and had also been
promised aid from the government.
One of the concessions was a grant
of 100000 acres Of the finest hard
wood timber in the world.
Has Financed the Scheme.
His friends, Of course, hoped for
the success of his scheme, but they
were skeptical about the matter.
However, Mr.. McCune was not to be
deferred In his determination and he
again assured his friends that he
would succeed.
Well, he has succeeded. New York
inanciers turned his proposition
down. Then he went to London and
after several conferences with the
great capitalists of the old world, he
convinced them of the feasibility of
his proposal and they assured him
they would finance the scheme. Adj
vices TO this effect have been receiv-
ed In Salt Lake within the past few
days. Mr.. McCune is now In South

Michel's wife, Marietta Michel was
arrested some time ago and held 70
the grand jury under $1,000 bonds.
She waived preliminary hearing and
prevented the arrest of her husband
sooner by declaring that she was the
sole owner of two houses and that her.
husband was merely @ bartender The
government claims to be able to prove
otherwise now.
Michel was formerly in partnership
with Alphonse Dufour, who. with his

and fed to Paris. However, in June,
when Mr. Sims started his raids, Mi
