line, says an OAKLAND dispatch, Re.
oeiver Q. X. KING has prepared All ex-
Tended report on the roaJ, and copies
OF the document have been sent to
Denver. Smith is n son OF Captain
smith, who projected and built the
road anu ever since he secured the
position he now holds he has been en-.
deavoring to do something with the
road. As the report prepared by Re-,
ceiver KING points out, tbe little %

made self-supporting. Mr.. King did

he had prepared one for him. 1t is
understood that an engine OF the
Denver and Rio Grande railway Ia to
be sent here from Denver at an early
date. No particular significance la
attached to the matter, for It has been
given out here that the engine was pur.
ohated from the Denver and Rio
Gran do by Mr.. Smith.
