Desert Springs Will be Reached by June 15 Other Eailway Matters of Local and General Interest. 'Hio Kio Grande, says the Denver News, has a small army at work in the Hoyal gorge, blasting 'out the lock to make room for the laying of the third rail. Tho work has progressed very slowly of late, and in order to push it, several hundred additional laborers have been employed, and there are now 2,000 men at work. The company had hoped to have the third rail laid all through the gorge by the time the Eitle creek extension was completed, but they will bo disappointed, as the work cannot be finished before the latter lat-ter part of July, whereas trains will be running over tho new extension in June. The Kio Grando will derive no benefits from the Rifle creek link until they can operate broad gauge trains honce the Midland will enjoy the first fruits of the new line. m |
