LANDSLIDE DOES DAMAGE
Landslide at Tunnel B on White Riv
er Road Retards Work and
Does $40,000 Damages.
There was another landside one
day the latter part of last week at
the entraee to tunnel B on the
White liiver Railroal, twenty
miles north of Harrison. So great
was the slide that it is estimated
that it will cost the company $40,
000 to clear it away. It also pre
vents work at the west end of the
tunnel until it is removed. This
tunnel has been one of the worst i
and most expensive pieces of road
ever encountered by any company.
The tunnel is 2,600 feet long and
it is estimated that it will cost the
company more than $400,000. It
has been mud and loose rock most
all the way, which necessitates
timbering and cementing. Tunnel
A, two miles north of B, was 3,
4<>0 feet long, but as it was solid
rock it is about completed and has
not been near so expensive as B.
There are five tunnels on the line
between Cotter and Aurora, Mo.
It is estimated that the construc
tion of this road will cost the com
pany more than $65,000 per mile, j
The line is almost completed now
from each end, but owing to the
bad ground in tunnel B it will be
almost a year before trains will!
run through. Trains are running]
now from the south to ) ellville, in
Marion County and the track is!
laid to (leorge's Creek, six miles
west of Yellville, where there is a
trestle about half a mile long and 1
is very high.

less endeavor to regain his health,
but the dread malady had him so

grasp that all efforts to check its

young and useful life, were utter

his last days among kindred and
friends, lie sank gradually, and

came as peacefully and calm as a
babe falling to sleep.

21st of last May. lie leaves a
mother, one sister and a brother.
The funeral took place Saturday
afternoon under the auspices of
the lvnights of Phythias, of which
