Quick Work.

The Los Angeles Herald of October 25 says: The most remarkable case of bridge building in all history occurred in the rebuilding of the great Yuma bridge across the Colorado. The bridge was destroyed by fire a week ago, and was last night reconstructed and trains passed at 7 o'clock. The materials for the new bridge were scattered, some at Sacramento, Oakland, Los Angeles, and Wilmington, but were gathered and sent forward at distances varying from 250 to 750 miles, and the bridge built within a week. Arthur Brown, superintendent of bridges of the Southern Pacific Railroad, is entitled to the credit of this unparalleled work.
