ON TO Il RlVERi
Survey OF a Proposed Railroad
Branch to the Gold District.

SPRINGER, N. NJ, November a.
A corps OF engineers of the Santa Fe
system has gone out to survey a route
of the pr acted, extension into the Red
River country. This move Is expected
to probably stimulate the d. &R q.
to commence work on its projected
line from Fort Garland. As the situa-
ton is understood here, the object of
the Santa Fe IS to build from Springer
to a point four miles from Elizabeth
town, thence via Taos canon into the
lower section of Taos valley. leaving
Taos sb )ut three miles distant, thence
via Embudo into and through
the Espauola valley, thus giving a
broad guage route to its main line.
Should the D. u K. & build as pro-
jscted from Fort Garland its line will
traverse the full length Of the San Luis
and Taos valleys, containing the most
productive agricultural lands 10 south
ern Colorado and northern New Mexi-
co, and providing a direct line for The
shipment Of the ores of the Red River
and other mining districts of Taos
county to the smelter at Pueblo and
d nver. he putting of the surveying
party 10 the fed ~ this time OF the
year by the santa Fe Is sufficient evl-
dence that what they are after they
want and want it as o as possible.
