Show I Monte Cristo Dead Seattle Wash Dec nA special to the PostIntelligencer from Everett Wash savs General Manager J B Crooker of the Everett Monte Cristo railroad states that that part of the road washed out by the recent floods will not be rebuilt by the present company The part of the road to be abandoned is 30 miles in length extending from Granite Falls to Monte Cristo The reasons for abandoning the road are that it has barely paid operating expenses and of the three mines at Monte Cristo controlled con-trolled by J D Rockefeller two of them the Rainey and the Monte Cristo have proven worthless while the third one the Pride of the Mountains has paid but small margin above operating operat-ing expenses The abandonment of the road will have the effect of stopping al business at Monte Cristo |
