" For the first one hundred and six miles the work would be 

 mostly in gravel. From the one hundred and sixth mile there 

 would be some heavy work along the Atunatche, with considerable 

 rock-cutting and probably some tunnelling near the precipice from 

 which, to the Lower Forks, seventy-three and one-half miles, the 

 work would be generally light, with a few rock cuttings.
