general manager OF the proposed Te-
colote Valley Railway q Development
company. the narrow guage railway
which was surveyed to run from
Romeroville to the Mineral Hill dis
trict In Mora county. Is the gentleman
who is asking for gas franchise Of
the city council.
In an interview this morning Mr..
Colburn stated that his gas franchise
had been changed since originally
presented to the city council. SO that
the company now agrees to furnish
gas at $3.50 per thousand cubic feet
instead OF $1.OO. A clause has been
inserted in the revised franchise stipu-
lating that at the end Of five years
the council has right to appoint
two men and the company two men
and the four another. disinterested
citizen to constitute committee to
examine the books Of the gas company
and fix a new and reasonable gas rate.
He stated that the company's coke
ovens would be In operation by that
time and undoubtedly a more reason
able rate could be made.
Mr.. Colburn also said that Mr.. Ira
A. Miller, who is now In the city to
urge the acceptance Of the C0lburn
franchise and who has charge Of the
Colorado Springs gas plant, win b.
manager Of the local gas plant In case
their franchise Is accepted.
In regard to the railroad. Mr.. Col.
burn stated that the engineers had
been busy since May 22nd. surveying
three routes, under the direction Of
Frank ]. Buck. and that they we're
now through with the preliminary sur
vey. Ten men have been employed a.
most constantly on the work.
Mr.. Colburn gave out the inforna-
tion that construction work will be-
gin in earnest about the first Of Jan.
uary. and that the company expects to
complete the undertaking next year.
The road will be a narrow guage
and will be over sixty miles long, and
is intended to develop the properties
of the company. It will open up coal
mines, marble quarries, deposits Of
hydraulic lime and several hundred
thousand acres OF fine timber.
It was formerly the intention to
make the eastern terminus of the road
at Romeroville, but the plans have
been changed, says Mr.. Colburn, and
the road will run to Las Vegas.
II Is the plan Of the company to es-
tablish coke ovens here and to haul
their coal for the purpose to this city.
The reason given for the establish.
ment Of the ovens here instead Of at
their mines is that they can load their
coke right into broad guage cars on
the Santa Fe without handling twice.
The steepest grade on the proposed
road Is not more than three per cent
and steam Is the motive power which
will be used. The line is not intended
for passenger traffic although 1t will
pass through some beautiful scenery.
A passenger coach may be attached
to the freight trains. merely a. an
accommodation. II the road Is com.
pleted as planned II will undoubtedly
be a big factor In the development Of
that portion Of the country through
which 1t passes an big boom to Las
Vegas.
