ATTORNEY SPIESS BELIEVES DAWSON

Attorney Chas, A. Spiess returned
yesterday afternoon from an eastern
trip In The course OF which he spent
several days In New York.
Mr., Spiess Is the representative Of
the Phelps-Dodge interests In New
Mexico and Is more closely In touch
with the plans Of the company than
any other man In the TERRITORY.
He was interviewed by an Optic rep.
resentative this morning. When asked
concerning the probability Of the
Phelps.Dodge company building their
ra'lroad through Las Vegas he became
reticent. and stated that he did not
know what the plans Of the company
were concerning this road He said,
however. that II was his opinion that
such road as Is now being surveyed
by the Phelps.Dodge company would

te built and in the very near future.
"The splendid grade that may be
procured, taken In connection with
the great traffic possibilities, believe
will bring us a road In the very near
future" MIR. Spiess stated also that
In his opinion the prospects for a
railroad connection with Denver on
the north as well as El Paso on the
south, are exceptionally bright Such
connection as this would secure q
great reduction In rates for the people
az Las Vegas and vicinity and would
be the means of starting industries
which are now impossible.
The Optic may add to the above that
for the score or more Of miles the
survey has already been run south
ward from Las Vegas the very best
kind of a grade has been obtained.
