The WESTERN
REACHES OUT
Branch From Cisco to the La
Sal Mountains.
ANNOUNCEMENT MADE
BY COLONEL DODGE
From Present Appearances the Road
VIII Be Built.
If the District Is one-Fourth AS Rich
AS Reported, An Engineering
Corps VIII Be placed In the Field
at Once, and Work of Construction
Commenced As Soon As Develop
ments Justified.


Denver, Dec 1.-THE fattering re-
ports from the new copper mining dis
trict in Paradox valley and La Sal
mountains, in Utah and Colorado, have
had the effect of working up the rail-
way managers to the advisability of
building to the new camp. Colonel
Dodge of the Rio Grande Western is
making the most active investigation
into the outlook. and the probabilities
are that the Western will have line
running into the camp in the near
future.
Colonel Dodge was seen today re-
garding reports that his company
would build a branch, and said: IF,
upon investigation, Paradox valley is
found to be even one-fourth as rich
in copper and other minerals as the
published accounts have it, the West
ern will build branch from Cisco into
the valley. 1 am waiting TO see and
talk to mining man from Paradox
valley, who Is expected In the city
within a few days, and what he tells
me may influence the action of our
company in regard to the proposed
! branch Then We will await develop
ments and see what the country
amounts to before taking any final &C
ton.
IF the mining man speak of leads
me to believe great things of the dis
! trict, we will send an engineering
corps over the route and will make all
preparations to go ahead with the
work Of grading the road as soon as
we feel justified in believing that the
district is anything like the copper
country that it is reported to be. We
viii give the wagon road now in course
of construction from Cisco q, chance to
learn what profit there is in Paradox
valley ore before we take any final
steps, but as appearances indicate now
he branch of our road viii probably
De built"
