Into this work Mofrai poured his
personal fortune Of many millions. The
cost of construction was appalling since
Monfat would have nothing but
broad-gauge standard railroad for
transcontinental traffic. The grading

fifty miles out Of Denver cost on an
average $4,000 mile, and the thirty
five miles from the point where the
road begins to climb the foothills to
the site of the proposed tunnel cost
100000 mile. These figures include
only the tunnel work and grading. und
not the cost Of ties. rails. the labor
OF laying the track and the expendi-
lures for stations, water tanks and
equipment. One particularly difficult
mile actually cost $685. 900. On the
