Colorado Mining and Railroad finterprise. { Porils of Working in the Winter Snows. Denyer Reput The Denver & South Park division of the Union Pacific railway crosses the main range of the Continental divide at an elevation of 11, the highest railroad crossing tl tunuel in the world. The can, gigantic enterprise was placed in the hands of Messrs. John Fitzgerald & Co., (con tractors) July 14, 1880, and after some of the most severe hoadships that were over encountered by rail- road contractors, was completed No ber 30th, 1881, This tunmnel is 776 feet in _ length, 10} in height, and 13 fe i width, is arched and timbered v California redwood, shipped from state by the Union Pacitic W at an expense of from &0 to §110 per thousand. Four hundred and sixty thousand feet of this timber was used in the construction of this tunnek Owing to the pecaliar forma tion and make-up of thispart of th mountains it was uecessary to use false timbering as well as this red- wood. The underground workings of this tunnel, and the difficuities with which 1t was carried on, form nosmall feature of interest to the railroad and mining enterprises of our state. To overcome the thousand and one obsta- cles that front the contractors like in- surmountable bavriers required the most dominant perseverance and skill. There was but from 150 to 200 feet of rock in place in the whole work, show- ing conclusively that at one time this was a very low pass, as the draws or nage on either sido of the moun- s go to prove. Three stoams of ter, from tive to seven inches in diameter, were cut and it was with great difficulty that thisloose, wet and muddy formation was kept back. Dur- ing the whole of the workings false timbering was required, which was not less than 1,500,000 feet, all of whizh was cut and hauled under very great difficulties. It was hauled over the mountain through from five to seven feet of snow, and over snow banks from fifty to sixty feet in depth. The western approach was completely blockaded with snow. During the storms of last winter the men had to cut a shaft thirty feetin depth through tho snow to get down to their work. At times the miners were allowed to work on the heading and® shove back the mate twenty foet beyond tho portal, when it was impos- sible for them to work on the outside. This done to keep the work going and keep the men from leaving the works, all of which required handling three times in place of one, adding three times the expense to the con- tractors. It was very diflicult to get men in midwinter to work in such a locality. None but the experienced old timers would or could stand it to battle against the elements. During some of these heavy storms last win- ter the men had to go to their cabins from the work in gangs, to keep from being lost in the snow, and often. had their clothes frozen to their skin on arriving in their cabins. Unless one could feel the effects of these wind and snow storms on the main range it is impossible to realize that “a man could notstand on his feet, but many have heen eye-witnesses to the fact that it wes impossible to carry on work without the danger of loss of life or broken limb. A weather record was kept by Wil- liam Osborne from the time he started until the finish, which the writer had occasion to read, and it 18 only a won- der long to me that even one man ever worked long in such a blizzard region. I can assure you but tree did show by the pay-roll of having worked mero than a month at a time. Out of cer- tainly no less than 10,000 working- men who started to this tunnel, but very few show a longer record than two days. Out of the thousands ship- ped out from the east by the Union Pacific railway (by few transporta- tion), but few worked but a day or two. The high wages paid by the contractors was the only inducement tor men to stay at all. Labor- ing men often worked over time and drew from $100 to §125 per month. From 200 to 250 men were daily employed, of all colors and na- tiontalities, and from all parts of the world. Tt is believed that there never was a work where there was 80 much difficulty in keeping men. They nt vimes would leave in a body, which re rded the work most eerionsiy. N lives have been lost during the whole workings of the tunnel. All of the work was carried on by haud, which proved to accomplish” more (in this «lide formation) than machinery which was tried but to no efiect. The put- ting in of abundant supplies at the be- ginning of this work was done by the contractors, to the amountof £50,000, and was huuled from the end of the railroad track, n distance of twenty- five miles, at the expenso of §150 per hundred pounds, Getting the sup- plies and wmaterials to this work oyer the rugged mountains was no small feature in this enterpriso. On the 234 of May, 1881, a jack trail was cut through sixteen foet” of snow to gai the western approach, and a road vas cut through sixteen feet of snow over the mountains to get the red wood timber to this western approach, Con tending with the mud and snow on these rugged mountain sides, and un- der difliculties peculiar to this great clevation, was one beyond the con- ception of men who have never scen Bighteen mules and three horses weer killed, besides namberless wagons were smashed to atoms, The whole work bears a record equal to none, The Old Bergeant.

The nurse started up with shiver, looked at the clock, and the wilked softly to the bodside and whispered: “Sergt, Griu “Ttis past time!” clock. “Sergt.

An oxchange has the following item, which may scem to be all righr, but it will get some young fellow’s back broke yet: AnTllinvis justice has decided that “‘courtship is a public necessity, and must not be mterrupted; therefore, if a young man wanted to kiss a girl, he might put her father out of the room first if he liked.” The publication of the above item may cause some smart yoang man to do something he will regret. The lame, sickly looking father of a girl may come ir to the parlor some night and find the warm-haired youth on the_sofa with the giil, and when the old man speaks of it being time to put a stop to such nonsense, the young man with the above judicial decision in his mind, will tell his prospective father-in-law to wipe off his vest and go to bed, The old man will then spit on his hands and grasp the warm haired young man by the county seat and tie him up in a dou- ble bow knot and pin a scar on him, and throw him out on the path to the gate, and then he will turn and slap the girl across where the dress is pleat- ed, and she will go up stairs with her hand on her heart as it were, and the old man will jump up and say “whoop!” The young men of this country have gall enough about visit- ing girls in the evening, at their homes without filling their heads with any such ide: regard to their legal rights. There are few fathers who would quietly submit to being told to y by & young man with a stripoed ecktio and pants too short at the bot- tom. These speakers are looked upon by the parents as a nuisance, and often they are right. Nine-tonths of the speaking is done by boys who haven't got their growth, and they look 80 green that it is laughable to the old folks to look at them. The haven't generally got a second shirt, and they are no more qualified to get marricd than a steer is tit to preach, And yet marrying is about the first thing they think of.

Where tho Largest Guns in the ‘World are Made. London Queen, The Germans are justly proud of Herr Alfred Krupp, “the owner and creator of the largest and most famous foundry in the world, Although con- tinually turning out immense castings of ivon and stcel for various purposes, it is for the noted cannon that the great establishment at Essen, in Rhonish Prussia, has the widest repu- tation. Alfred Krupp is a native of Esson, and is seventy years old., In 1826 the clder Krupp died without leaving any considerable fortune to his widow, who, with the assistance of her son, carried on a small toundry until 1848, when she retived in favor of her assistant, Horr Krupp continued to make great progress with his foundry, but without attaining any interna tional reputation until the great ex- hibition of 1851, when he attracted attention by sending to London a si gle block of steel weighing 1,600 kilogrammes. In the 1862 exhibition Herr Krupp was a most successful ex- libitor, showing, among other samples of his skill, a_cast-steel block of 100 ewt., which, being broken into halves by a steam hammer of 1,000 ewt, , was found to be perfectly clear and froe from fhaws. One specialty of Herr Krupp's ex- hibit m 1851 must not be passed by without mention, and that is—his cast- steel guns, The attention of the French Government was particularly attracted by this artillery, and the ex- periments that Governn ent made with 1t atforded convincing proofs of the practical value of the Essen manufac- tory. These guns at that time were | of very small calibre, but Herr Krupp was continually experimentalizing them, until he finally succeeded in produciug those gigantic pieces of ar- tillery which are now world-famous. Indeed, it is asserted that upwards of 15,000 cast-steel guns have, up to the present time, been made by the Essen establishment, and disposed of ia vari- ous quarters of the globe. In the Philadelpha Exhibition of 1878, Her Krupp exhibited many wenders that startled even Americans, accustomed as they are to all kinds of mechanical wonders, Altogether the establishment covers a superficial area of 1,000 acres, about 190 of which are covered with build- ings. In the year 1877 the Krupp foundry possessed 1,648 various kinds of furnaces, 208 steam boilers, 77 steam hammers, 208 steam ongines, ranging from two to one thousand horse-power, or, altogether 11,000 horse-power, and 1,063 other kinds of machines. Herr Krupp, by means of an army of 5,000 workingmen, is enabled to turn out o monthly supply of 250 fisld-picces, thirty small and twenty- four lurge cannons, besides an enor- mous quantity of articles for peaceful purposes. To keep all theso foun- drics employed, Herr Krupp possesses s mines in various parts of Germany, and even at Bilbao, in Spain, whence the metal is brought by a lar Jine.of steamers to the mouth of the Rhine, and thence conveyed by rail to the furnace. Altogether the number of people employed by Herr Krupp in the performance of these various labors is little short of 15,000, who all work together under their be reasoned with, and if he will not quit it until he is able to support a wife and to know the difference be- tween love and passion, he should be quarantined or put in a convent erected on pur- pose for such cases. Nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages are the result of green human calves being allowed to run at large in the society pasturc without any yokes on them. They marry and have children before they do mustaches; they are fathers of twins before they are proprietors o two pairs of pants, and the little girly they marry are old women before they are twenty years old. Occasionally ove of these gosling marriages turns out all right, but it is a clear case of luck. If there was a law against rmng galoots sparking and marrying before they have got all their teeth cut, wesuppose the little cusses would evade it some way, but there ought to be a sentiment against it. Tt is time enough for these bantams to think of finding a pullet when they have raised money by their own work to buy a bundle of laths to build ahen house. But they see a girl who looks cunning, and they are afraid there is not going to be girls enough to go round, and they begin to got in their work real spry, and, before they own a cookstove or a bed- stead, they have to get up in the employer’s skillful direction with the regnlarity of a machine The daily consumption of coal by this army of workers is about 2,200 tons. The creature comforts and requirements of hig people ure carofully provided for by Herr Kiupp, He has had 3,277 dwellings ~ erccted for his clerks and workmen, in which everything needful has been thought of. Fire and life insurance, invahd and pension socicties, hospital, bath- ing cstablishments, four people’s schools, besides an industrial nu&nml for girls and work school for women, all proclaim the thoughtfulness of Herr Krupp, their founderand bene- factor.
