McLean Bros.

            The extensive outfit belonging to the McLean Bros., railroad builders, consisting of horses, wagons, carts, camp outfits, and all the paraphernalia and appliances belonging to a first-class camp, reached Brooklyn Wednesday.  The McLean Bros. have secured the contract to bore the tunnel, 3100 feet, and several miles of grading near the tunnel site.  As yet the contractors are unable to give much information regarding their work, but in the course of a few days they will have their work well under way.  The approaches to the cut will be open rock work several hundred feet in length.  The tunnel proper is 3100 feet long and will be worked with air drills at this end.  It is expected 130 men will be employed for a year in the construction of their work.  The camp will be established at the mouth of the tunnel or some convenient spot near where they will direct the movements of the work in hand.  McLean Bros. have the contract also for building the several miles of switchback across the summit.
