DELAY TRAINS

Of Sunday at Ophir as . result of the
heavy snowslides which ran at points
between Windy Point and the Ames

bring up the rotary plow frnm Rico,
There were eight snowslides in all
at these points and one was 200 feet
long and 20 feet deep, and another one
was 400 feet long. The track was
completely blocked ut many places.
The trains arrived in Telluride 26
hours late.
Another series Of snowslides was
reported from Grand Junction. These
occurred between the city and Minturn
beginning Sunday afternoon and by
Monday about two dozen slides had
piled snow, ice, rocks and trees upon
the tracks. u had covered emo fpai6ht
engine. tearing the cab on and de-
rallied a passenger locomotive, and
had created a reign Of terror all along
the route thru the canon, like unto
the reign of terror in 1899, when 90
many men were killed in the slides.
All communication with the eastern
slope by that route was abandoned for
two days.
There was a little trouble in the
Black Canon, but very slight. How
ever, it did not occur to Rio Grande
