Moffat Road to Build.

Denver.-Dayid H. Moffat has pro-
gressed so far with his plans for fl
nancing the tunnel through the main
range on the Moffat road that he and
William G. Evans. who has been
closely associated with him in this en-
terprise, have deemed the present
time adventitious for giving the pub
lie necessary information regarding
this subject. which means so much to
Denver and other parts of Colorado.
While it has not been determined. def
initely, when work will start on the
tunnel which will place Denver on the
railroad map of the country, direct,
there is every reason to believe that
the coming spring will see modern
tunneling machinery boring from both
ends. AS is learned from letter pub
lished from Vice President Evans to
Mr.. Moffat, the length and the cost
of the undertaking are much less than
had been expected. The advantages
from the tunnel would be inestimable
to this city and to the empire OF the
northwest.
