under consideration there,
On the eve of his departure from

the following timely information to a
reporter for the Journal:
II have nothing definite to say at
this time of the line to Durango" said
Mr.. Hopewell, 1T is tru that a com.
pany has been Incorporated to buiid
the line, the action being taken be-
cause the prospects are better for its
immediate construction than at any
time since the road was first con-
sidered.
LAS you know we surveyed a line
from this city to Durango and secured
the right of way some time ago. The
proposition has remained In that stage
ever since waiting a favorable oppor-
tunity for its contamination.
The construction Of the Albuquer'
que Eastern is progressing very ia
vorably. The financing OF the road
is in satisfactory shape and am leav'

"As l understand the railroad sit
uation in that section of the country
said a railroad man in Denver. 1.-The
road planned between Durango and
Lordsburg is wholly different from
that incorporated a few days ago in
Santa Fe, although Durango Is to be
the terminus of both. The Durango
Lordsburg road goes southwest from
Durango, crossing the Navajo reserva-
ton. a corner of the Moki reservation,
crosses the Santa Fe somewhere near
Winslow and turns southeast and
reaches Lordsburg. 1t has a rich
country all the way and with practic-
ally no railroad competition. A Du-
rango-Albuquerque road would proba-
bly, go direct from Durango to Lords
burg, and If so it would have a tough
range Of the mountains to cross.
II am reliably informed that there
is no doubt but what a road down
through Arizona Is to be built from
Durango, and | have heard that it has
the money"
Frank Lusk, the railroad contrac'
tor. when in Denver not long ago, also
asserted that the road from Durango
through Arizona would be built, and
