a company uiijiht construct a railrosd

Kansas has risen from 195,0(j0 in lyik)

while the country was experiencing
the great industrial depression, Kan

from two and a half millions to rive

its farm products from thirty to fifty

its mineral yield during the same

Pierce. In 1S03 the Charter passed
entirely into the hands of Boston
parties. Tiie first 2S miles of road
were built in 1SG0. goon after, Mr.
Alden Spear and Joseph and Thomas
Xickeuon became interested iu the
enterprise, and sections of thirty
four and seventy-five miles were con-sirucii-d
in 3i70 ;ind lbTl respi ctive-
ly. Me.-srs. Kidder, I'cabotly & Co.
built the fi'i ty-livc mile section from
Emporia to Florence, taking in pay
ment seven per cent, first mortgage
bonds of the company at about S2l
and the accompanin amount of
stock. Yet three hundred and sixty
miles remained to be constructed and
equipped in less than a year in order j
to save the land grant. The uncer-
! tainty of securin.tr an exiention ol j
time fioiii Con-rcss determined the
I directors to proceed to the immediate
! i onstt tut ion ol the line, and tiie three
i hundred and i.tv miles were bliill
in less than nine months, and ears
were run across the slate December I
SS, 187:3, just four days before the '

seven miies: tne 1 uenio cs Ari'imras ;
has recently bceu built via Trin idad
to the Raton Mountains upon the lino
between Xew Mexico and Colorado,
a distance of 05,'X mi let. Here a
tnnncl two thousand feet long, is be
ing cut through limestone and por
phyry at an expense of about t'0,000.
It will be completed next iSepteuibcr.
At present the road runs over thu
mountains by a 'switchback,' u spir
al line track, and the tunnel will
shorten the distance some three miles.
From the liaton Mountains starts the
Xew Mexico & Southern Faciiit;
Railroad, already built iuto X'cvv
Mexico in a southerly direction a
distance of thirty miles, and expected
to reach Las Vegas, a distance of 100
miles from Colorado, by May 13.
The route from here in a south
westerly direction to the Rio Grande
River will soon be determined, by
surveys now being made; but the
river will probably be reached at Al
buquerque, two hundred and forty
eight miles from the State liue. All
the money has been raided to com
plete it to this point. Beyond, the
location i stilljuiuleti rmitied, though
thorough surveys have been made.
It will probably stride over into
Arizona and reach Tucson' in the
southeastern part of that territory.
It will cross the Southern Pacific,
which the San Francisco cnpitalists
who built the Central Pacific road
are now pushing eastward from Yu
ma toward L"! Piiso on the Texas
frontier at the fate of a mile a day,
and from here or some other southern
! point in tho territories connect with
