            Mr. P. Larson, of the contracting firm of Mann, Foley Bros. and Larson, says that the “tote” road to be used in building the railroad to Midway will be completed from Brooklyn to the tunnel, four and a half miles, this week, when active operation will begin on the big bore.  Mr. Larson says the tunnel will be 2100 feet in length.  The wagon road will probably consume 60 days in its construction.  This is one of the longest pieces of work in the west.
