will run through the entire coinage

UP PIKE'S PEAK
A Raihoad Following The Path
of the Pioneers.
SOMKTII IN; OF THE PROJECT
Tbs Bud Wid Be Kite Miles Long ani
Will Extend from the Bass to tbs
Samu.it if the Mountains.
Colorado Siium;s, March 5.
When Zebuloii Pike, the sturdy
old pioneer, climbed to the top of
the mighty mountain peak which
bears his name, it was far from his
thoughts that some day others
would follow him to the same spot
behind it locomotive. But it it
never occured to Iike that such a
thing was possible, it has toothers
in later days, and the thought is
to lie realized in the near future,
and the wonderful journey which
Pike first took on foot will lie made
by a steam-engine and tin accom
panying train of cars. Before an
other summer the steel bands of a
railroad will be laid and a ponder
ous locomotive hauling its load of
human freight from the base to
the summit will he making daily
journeys.
The railroad to the summit of
Pike's Peak, which is now being
constructed, is not the first which
has been attempted. Many
thousand dollars have been put
into another one which proved a
failure. It was not practically
planned, being too long and too
expensive in construction. But
the mistakes of the first attempt
have lieen to profit to those under
taking this one.
Major Hulbert, of Manitou, was
the man w ho conceived the idea
of building the Manitou, and Pike's
Peak Railway. He succeeded in
interesting a numlier of railway
officials wliose roads, either by
direct or indirect connection,
would profit by a. successful line
to the summit of the Peak. The
officials saw the opportunity in its
true proportions, and a prelimi
nary survey was was made alxmt
a year ago. The result of the sur
vey w as so satisfactory that a stock
company was formed, with Major
Hulhurt as president. A large
amount of s-t'K-k w as at once sub
scrilied by local capitalism and by
trunk lines interested in promoting
the scheme. A second and final
survey was made and tin- contract
for the grading given.
On the 24th ot last Si piemlier
t lie contractors Jicgan the work.
Fight hundred men were put at it,
assisted by over 100 teams of horses
and mules. The precipitous
mountain sides, covered with giant
trees, and numerous wide ami deep
canyons and gorges, the- massive
Iwailders thickly strewn loi:- the
cotir.-e. and necessary steepness ot
the trrade made difficulties which "
would seem insurmountable to
less m rsevering directors. Owing
to the severe weather on the sum
mit and. the heavy snowdrifts, the
upper Iiali-mile 01 the road cannot
lie graded until sprintr, but work
on the icst is going on rapidly.
The route selected is the most
direct ixissible. It begins at the
old gateway to the (iovernment
trail near the Iron Springs, and
runs up Kuxtou Creek part of the
way over theAdd trail, ami after
rounding Windy Point at the base
t the peak proiier, makes the
direct descent on a grade of tw enty-
hve leet rise on the ion, or one
foot in four, which is the maximum
grade all the way from Manitou,
the minimun grade being ten feet
m 100 at some points along Kuxton
Creek. The road will lie operated
by a cogw heel system. The road
will lie of standard gauge, with
a fifteen-foot road-bed, to provide
against accident m cae of derail
ment. There will le no wooden
bridges or trestle work, only solid
masonry culverts and bridges
Iicing used, and these will le put
in wherever necessary, so that
there will le no trouble from
