suow drifted so rjpidly aui solidly
that loconiotivea could not nrccetd

housa. Reports from the west repre
sented the road lo ba in a terrible
condition with & storm prevailing all
along the line in extent and intensify
more sevt TJ than tie weather records

During Sunday night Suplutendcnt

for the great engines , Mr. OJoll ex
ercised unusual care. Summoning an
engineer or fircm n , the scperinten-
dent asked , "Are you afraid to go

From Wallace to Cheyenne We'h
there are tvroniy dnep cuts , from 490
to 700 feet in length , and it had been
reported , and such was found to be
the case , that snovr had drifted and
packed in each one of thrso from
seven to twelve feet deep , the drifts
for a fdw feet iu some instacc being
still deeper. These drifts were plow
ed through anccHsfulIy. Iu oua or
two Instances a second trial ws ncc = i-
stry , but in most casea the engineer ! ,
by crowding on a full head of stetm ,
and going at the tut with increased
force , catricd the trtin tkrongh tke

snow fightere added the streugtk of
thbirfour b'g ' engines , and the freight

When tha head looomatlva of the
snow train would souod th elgntl
that a drift tr to be attioked , and
the Increased rcotloa of the train
wonld dvnoto the approach to the cut ,
all hands would msk ready for the
shock. Thcsarbo have bean in &

sensation produced nponthoccupanU
of the superintendent's car when the
humcnEo iron ano r plow was ten !
with tremendous force against stltd
mass of snow tfitlve feet high , tredgec
in for a distance of several buodrcc

of rock or earth. Mr. Odell , in npito

Cheyenne Wells was r.t la t reacbec
and herd It was learned that the worst
cut ? hsd yet to be met with. The
train after a si ght halt was ordered
forward and several bg ! banks were
wet and overcome and finally the larg
est and deepest cut on the division
was reached.The superintendent
.knew that the moat difficult place on
the road had yet to be surmounted.
This cut Is a veiy deep cnp. Its wesl
end terminating at First Yitiv. It is
1,700 feei long , .bow-lls rising high
laad both opecir.gsbeing at points
I where the strong winds from the roll
' ing praltie , which stretches out for
hundreds of miles , a-reap with full
force nud drive thosao.v Into the semi
tunnel until the spaca ia filled and
packed in as if driven with immense
sledge hammern. Thia point was
reached about 7 o'clock in tha eve
ning , just is the sun hsd cjat Us
last shndow , end a large fall moon
ires lighting up the night. It vas as
clear as daylight , the eir cold and
chilly.bat the wind entirely subsided.
The train was brought up to the cast
and of th * cut r.nd a anrrey of the
task to he accotnollsheJ was taken.
All hands Trora ordered out , Brjd the
locomotives pcshod the cirs biokfir
about two miles , where they were left
upon the main track. Tha shovelers
were ordered to go upon the bank end
as rapidly aa possible , In g&ugs of
four men each , cat tranche ? in the
snow across the track , as deep * s canld
bo without tie much loss of time , aud
ftbjut live feet apart , Thii ork was
for the purpose of disturbing the sol
idity of the mountain of snow , and of
breaking up tha mass as much as pos
sible. The ahovelora went at the task
with a will , and hi & thort umo thin
Ubor hsd been accomplished. Then
everything wss tnda ready for the
charge ou the snow with the ponder
ous plow. All hands secured as eligi
ble a poiiiion as poasible to witness
the grand sortie. The engines went
back for tke d'stanca ' of a m'lo ' snd a
half ( ogata a greater dtgreo of velocity.
The oagiueers and firemen stood at
[ .hour posts firm and fut. Full heed
of steam had beea attained , and the
powerful engines fairly trambled to
? xhauat their strength. Tne rrord
was given , and the engines wore
thrown wide open and came rushing
along the track at * rate of speed
which sent the eptrks flying from the
flanjjex acd shot clouds of fUme from
the cmoke stacks. As the gigantic
plow WRB driven with frightful and re
sistless force into the wall of snow ,
the eifiiot upon the epctr.tor was each
M can be experienced undar no other
ctrcumiUno-'S. Balls of saow weigh
ing c , thoufrnd pounds were sent from
the great ircu chute cf the ploir , * B
the monstroui machine rathed f r t >
distance of GOOfeotinto the cut. Then
the wonderful force was ipent and it
was known that another and parhaps
Bovertl iritlj would ba nicauaiy bo-
fora the tnlire soventeeu hundred
feet ciuld bo gene thrtu h. The plow
and tha locomotives wore completely
buried in snow aud oerersl moa walk
ed over the tinoke stack : aud cib on
( he snow piled above them. The
shoyolen were ordered to cut out the
onyitcj , and the hundred men vent to
work with a will to remove the snow
From around them. It consumed
bout one hour to accomplish thU task
and then another charge was made
with the same terrible excitement and
danger. Ic requited f < .ur charges lo
cut through the enow , and then ihu
jlojr was pushed through into the
open plain beyond , acd then tbo sta
tion of Firat View waa reached at
about 11 o'clock. From First View
to Hugo the enorr encountered waa
overcome with comparative o .sa and
Elugo was reached early Tuesday
uorning. At this point tha anon
irigade from Denvrr was met , and
, ho road w s declared "opon for
travel , " tnd it 7 o'clock the pasaen-
; era of the three trains from the cast
wtilch hd been blockaded , were put
aboard one train lucl headed bj two
engines , atoatned out for Denver ,
reaching tha Qaeen Oily at 11:30 : that
