Track washouts have brought about a need to rebuild tracks on the east end of the South Park railroad, which means that mail and express business on the tracks over the Boreas Pass have been curtailed to a minimum. Residents are complaining that mail delivery is currently less prompt than it was during the stage line days of “primitive times.” A tri-weekly service from Denver and Leadville is the best the Colorado & Southern Railroad is giving Summit County, and it is rumored that regular service will not resume until June 10, 1900. Residents and businesspeople, who have enjoyed daily mail service for the past 30 years, have expressed outrage at the service provided by the railroad.
