CHAPTER v.-(Continued.) J


AS on the preceding night, each man
took his hours watch on the uppel
plateau. When 1t. came to Altamont's
turn, and he had gone out to relieve
Bell, Hatteras called his old compan-
ions round him. The doctor left his
desk and Johnson his cooking, and
hastened to their captains side.
MY friends" he said, '1et us take
advantage of the Americans absence
TO talk business. There are things
which cannot concern him, and with
which l do not choose him to meddle."
Johnson and Clawbonny looked at
each other, wondering what the cap
tain was driving at.
II wish," he continued, "to talk with
you about our plans for the future"
"All right; talk away. while we are
alone" said the doctor.
I'm a month. or six weeks at the out
side, we can leave here. Have you
thought of what we had better do this
summer"
Have you, captain?" asked john
son.
Have II Not an hour Of my life
passes without revolving in my mind
one cherished purpose. I suppose not

his steps?"
No one replied, and Hatteras went
on to say:
For my own part, even II must
go alone. will push on to the north
pole. Never were men so near II be-
fore, for We are not more than $50
miles distant at most; and l will not
lose such an opportunity without max
ing every attempt to reach it Even
though 1t be impossible. What are
your views. doctor?"
Your own, Hatteras."
And yours. Johnson?"
Like the Doctors"
And yours, Bell?"
Captain" replied the carpenter, ut
Is true we have neither wives nor chill
dren waiting us in England. but, after
all, 1t Is ones country-one's native
land! Have you no thoughts OF re-
turning homer"
I'VE can return after we have dis
covered the pole quite as we'll as be-
fore, better even. Our difficulties will
not increase, for as we near the pole
we get away from the point of greatest
cold. We have fuel and provisions
enough. There is nothing to stop us,
and we should be culpable, in my opin-
ion, II we allowed ourselves to aban-
don the project"
Very well, captain; I'll go along
with you"
That's right; / never doubted you."
said Hatteras. I'VE shall succeed and
England will have all the glory"
But there Is an American among
us!" said Johnson.
Hatteras could not repress an i'm
patient exclamation.
Il know It'll" he said, sternly.
I'VE can't leave him behind" added
the doctor.

almost mechanically.
And he will be sure to go, too"
He will be sure to go, too; but who
will commando"
You, captain"
And If you all obey my orders, will
the Yankee refuse?"

he should, what them"
He and I must fight 1t out"
The three Englishmen looked at
Hatteras, but said nothing. Then the
doctor asked how they were to CO.

ANDES TUNNEL IS
A GIGANTIC WORK
BY WILLIAM n. TRIMMER.

The tunnel through the Andes noun
tains at last is an accomplished fact.
1t is gigantic work and long years
have passed since the undertaking was
first started. The railroad passing
through these mountains which are
the second highest range in the world
enters the tunnel at an elevation of
IL 900 feet, region of eternal snow
and connecting the Atlantic city of
Buenos Ayres and the Pacific city of
Valparaiso. The railroad is about 900
miles in length. Several snow plows
were imported from the United States
to open the way through the snow.
For the past three years the question
of labor has been very serious. About
1900 men have been employed and
these have divided in relays of 500
each, working eight hours. Most OF
the original labor was imported direct
from Italy, but it was soon found out
they were, not equal to the task.
Coming from a climate so different
the work at an elevation of 1000 feet
soon told on them until finally they
all left In lieu of this the contractors
employed large bodies of poems from
Chile admirably adapted as they were
accustomed to the climate and they
also succeeded in employing large
numbers of English and Scotch miners
to work in the deepest part Of the tun-
mel. 1t is extremely interesting to be
able to refer back some years and
learn how an American, Henry Meiggs,
away back in the fifties was superin-
tendent of bridges on the Valparaiso
and Santiago railroad in Chile.
Breaker Of Contractors.
The road had been under construc-
ton for years and had ruined every
contractor who had undertaken to
build it. From Llailal to Santiago,
some SO miles, the engineering diff
Culties were stupendous. Meiggs
studied the situation and finally took
the contract to build this thirty-three
miles of road for twelve million dol
lars and complete it in four years.
There was a rise of 1890 feet and
huge masses of rosk and wide and
deep abysses along the way. For
tunately Meiggs had a friend in the
secretary of state of Chile, the richest
man in the country, who went security
on his bond and got him an advance
of million from the government.
Meiggs ow employed large numbers
of Gillian poems and brought from the
States numbers of skilled overseers
who soon had an army of laborer>
which cost Meiggs thirteen cents
day per man. Instead of being four
years on the contract he turned the
road over in two years and cleared ST.
100000 on his contract.
Meggs Makes Good.
On July 5, 1860, the first train ran
over the road from Valparaiso to
Santiago In 1867 Meiggs took a con-
tract from the Peruvian government
to build a railroad from Mollendo on
the coast to Arequipa, ninety miles in
land in the Andes mountains. This
road he completed in 1871 anu re-
ceived twelve million dollars. The
terrible earthquake Of August IS and
IA in 1868 did a vast amount of de-
struction to Meiggs in destroying
work he had done. The contract was
completed on time and Meiggs had
s250,O0O worth Of gold medals and
$3.50 900 worth of silver medals struck
off and distributed.

Meiggs also gave grand entertain

oats and hay would not be salable, and
so on. And as to those who speak of this
undertaking as visionary, only few ref
erences have been made to things of the
past that they may begin to think and
join that fast growing army of those ws6
have visions of barges from the great
heart of the United States floating down
to the gulf; along the gulf coast through
the State of Florida and up the eastern
side of the continent to the shores of the
State Of Main.
AS to those who were ever ready to
say. it is no use, ii will never be done. or
If it is it will not be in our time, it is
no small work-has ever been done by
those who are unwilling to try things be
cause they look big, because they are
big. If you cannot help the men and
women engaged in this great undertaking
by your confidence and, at least, moral
announcement 1t will be the part of
patriotic broad, men and women to cease
the effort you are making. Perhaps, I'M
consciously, to have others feel as you do.
1t is tremendous work amidst new pro-
portions that have come upon the nation
with alarming suddenness.
Millions For irrigation.
The National Government has spent
millions for irrigation and for many other
purposes. The commerce of the country
has outgrown the privately owned and
operated lines of rapid transit; the coun-
try seems sure to be faster than the in
dividuals and corporations will be able to
provide for and nothing but constant
watchfuness Of railway managers and
employees prevents serious congestion of
traffic; every transportation employee,
every train master, and every agent of
railways now give more attention to the
prompt movement of freight than at any
time in the history of traffic.
The Improvement of the waterways and
the construction of protected canals is as
necessary, at once, as the extensions of
the lines of railway or the building of
ships of greater carrying capacity. The
demand for this work by the government
is so urgent that all the influence in reach
of the many associations interested in
the matter will be brought TO bear on
members of Congress. The work is be-
ing done by the National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress, the General Federation of
Woman's Clubs; the Woman's National
ern Commercial Congress; the Mississippi

ment at Mollendo and also one at Are
quipa in honor of the completion of
the road. He chartered from the Mail
Steamship Company the steamer Pana-
ma to carry his noted guests. Presi.
dent Balta was accompanied by a regi-
ment of regular troops 1000 strong.
1t took three Peruvian war steamers
to carry this party, the president and
cabinet in one and the troops oE the
other two. At Mollendo the arch.
bishop of Arequipa publicly blessed
the twelve locomotives which were to
draw the excursionists 107 miles up an
incline of 5000 feet. This affair cost
Meiggs 100000, but he made over ST.
100000 on his contract. Meiggs' S
house in Lima, two stories in height,
had over seventy rooms on the second
floor. The residence was fitted and
furnished in great splendor Callao,
the seaport of Lima only Z miles away,
it was a common thing for naval off,
GERS in port to run over and dine with
Meiggs and often, in fact, almost daily
he had twenty-five or thirty offhand
guests at dinner. The wastage went
to the poor people of Lima. This re-
markable American was born in Green
county, New York. in 1871. On the
discovery of gold in California in 1S49
he loaded ship named the Mantle
with lumber, arriving in San Francisco
in July, l849, selling the lumber for a
clear profit of $4,000. He then hired
500 men and sent them into the forests
'of Contra Costa county, cut. hauled
and RATED the choicest timber to San
Francisco bay, built it into big RATS,
floating them to a wharf built for the
purpose and saving them up IN a
steam saw mill he had erected, making
100000 on the operation. Meiggs
never revisited America after leaving
it in October, 1854, and died in Lima,
Peru, in 1876, after two strokes of pa
ralysis.

WANTS COURT TO STOP THEM
DEALING WITH OTHERS.

P. d. Dumont of New York, ersu-
while promoter of the Pensacola &
Andalusia railroad, who was interest
ed a number of years ago, together
with a syndicate of local men, in the
proposed Pensacola & Andalusia rail
road, yesterday blossomed forth in the
United States court with bill of com
plant against the local men of vol
luminous nature, in which he recites
his grievances. The bill was fled by
Gregory l.. and II. T. Smith, of Mo-
bile, and E. c. Maxwell, of this city.
In this the New York promoter
states that he had spent much money
in endeaVoring to put through this
proposition, inasmuch as more than
$50, 900, put up by local men, was need
ed. and he thinks he has a claim
against the local syndicate.
He recites that much of his time
and more of his funds were devoted
to the project land now he learns that
the local syndicate Is dealing with
other parties. At the conclusion he
asks for an injunction restraining
them from negotiating with others
than himself for building the rail-
road.
