Colorado Railways Reach Deep into Rocky Mountains
A Colorado letter to the New York Tribune highlights rapid narrow gauge railroad progress into the mountains. The Denver South Park and Pacific, Denver and Rio Grande, and Arkansas Valley lines push through the South Platte canyon and La Veta Pass, with engineers adopting contour-based grades to cut costs. Analysts foresee further crossings into the Gunnison country as mining expands, while scenic wilds draw tourists to the Rockies. A health note promotes Xidoor-Wort as a mild vegetable remedy supporting kidneys, liver, and bowels.
