scheme. then a line along the south
rim of Black mesa to Crawford and
the North Fork branch of the road
was the outline. If this Gunnison
rumor has any foundation, the low
kebler pass seems to appeal more
strongly to the new owners than
that along the mesa. A line over
Kebler pass would be very much
easier grade than over Cerro hill
and would not be so long as one
around the mesa. A line around
the mesa would be a good thing for
the Crawford -Maher country, but
would of course connect with the
North Fork branch at or below
Hotchkiss, while a line over Kebler
pass from Baldwin would put Pao-
MIA on the main line and be a good
deal shorter line to build. Besides,
such a line would open up another
large coal district above Somerset.

there is living today more than one

fully that Grants speech marked the
turning point of the presidential con-

load of 5. 10, is, 20, rs, 80 or 40

can be answered only through care
fully made experiments. BY first So
lecting two or three flrst-class shovel
ers. paying them extra wages for do
ing trustworthy work, and then grad
uaiiy varying the shovel load and hav.
ing all the conditions accompanying
the work carefully observed for se~.
eral weeks at time by men who are
used to experimenting, 1t was found
that first class man would do his
biggest days work with a shovel load
OF about 81 pounds. For instance,
that this man would shovel a larger
tonnage per day with 81 pound load
than with a 24-pound load or with an
1S-pound load on his shovel. 1t is, OF
course, evident that no shoveler can
always take load OF exactly 81
pounds on his shovel, but neverthe.
less, although his load may vary three
or four pounds one way or the other.
