ELECTRIC LINE MERGER.
Important Combination of Electric
Lines in Southern Colorado.

Denver. Aug. 19.-Plans for an eXten-
sive interurban electric railway line
which also contemplate the merging of
several of the electric lines already
constructed in the Colorado Springs
and Cripple Creek mining district, are
outlined in articles of incorporation
which We're filed August 10th with the
secretary of state by the directors of
the Colorado Springs and Intcrurban
Railway Company. The incorporators
of the company are Winfield $. STRAIT
ton. A. b. Sharp, William Lloyd. John
McBane ana Henry McAllister, Jr. The
capital stock is S1.5OO.OOO divided into
$4,000 shares mt Il par value of 500.
The objects stated in the articles of
incorporation include the acquisition of
the Colorado Springs Rapid Transit
Company and the Colorado Springs
Suburban railway and their extension
to connect with new lines to be con-
structed to the towns of the Cripple
Creek district. to Pueblo. and through
Cheyenne canon and the Garden of the
Gods. The company is also authorized
to purchase street railways now in op
Grafton in El Paso, Teller and Pueblo
counties. The company also has the
right to acquire franchises and rights
of way over routes to be selected by
the company. The motive power for
the interurban service is to be electric
ity. The company also has the right to
build telegraph lines and power plants
for the generation of power to mines.
The incorporation of the company Is
understood to foreshadow combina-
ton of all of the electric lines in the
southern part of the state and the con-
struction of several hundred miles OF
interurban and city fines in the various
counties mentioned in the incorpora-
tions. The two companies named as
probable assets of the company are al
ready owned by w. s. Stratton and his
associates.
