UNNEL
Is Caused by a Slide of
Melting Snow and
Loose Earth

Denver. Colo, May 1S-The Ten
nessee tunnel over Tennessee Pass
on the line of the Denver e Rio
Grande railway, located about five
miles from Leadville, and constructed
at a height of about 10000 feet above
sea level. was caved in for a distance
,of nearly 500 feet this morning, by o
slide of melting snow and loose earth,
The tunnel was clear when the acci-
dent occurred. and there were no cas-
ualtieS.
The cave-in occurred 1000 feet
from the portal of the tunnel and eX'
tended 10 a height of eighteen feet
from the bottom. The discovery OF
the cave.in was made by a track
walker.
Believing that the vast mass of dirt
and snow had buried a train. he hur
ried back to the first station, and
gave the warning. A train bearing
engineers and officials of the road was
rushed TO the scene. but in the mean
time the wires had been at work
and it was found that there had been
no loss Of life nor any one hurt.
Arrangements have been made
whereby traffic will be taken care oi
by the Colorado Midland railway.
AT the Offices of the chier engineer
Of the Denver & Rio Grande railway
il was stated this morning ,tnat the
caye-in at the Tennessee Pass tun'
mel was probably less serious than
first reports had indicated The cave
it was stated, occurred at one of the
three ventilating shafts. 1t is con-
hdently expected that trafhc through
the tunnel will be restored within
forty-cight hours.
The Tennessee Pass tunnel was
completed in 1890, and was part oi
the work of reconstruction of the
Denver & Rio Grande railway, when
that road was changed from mar
row-gauge to a standard gauge line
The tunnel Is known to tourists al
over the world 1T is heavily timber
ed throughout. and always carefully
watched, but precautions nave beer
redoubled of late on account OF tho
unprecedented snow falls.
