General Offices in Laramie.
From the members of the director
ate attending the meeting it was
learned this morning that the general
offices of the company will be in this
city, it being the intention to keep a
representative of the board here from
now on. The line will be built as
soon as the work a be done, a part
of the surveys having already been
made. The gentlemen assert that the
financial part of the scheme has al
ready been well taken care of, it be-
ing the determination to lose no time
in building and equipping the road
from Denver to the northern line of
the state.
No Connection With Other Companies.
Asked if the company had any con
nection with any other proposed or
operated road, n Of the party assert
ed positively hat there was no o n
nection whatever with any other
scheme. I'VE have a line of road to
build and will build it regardless Of
any other interests. You may say in
as strong emphasis as can be used
that there is no connection with any
other road-the Union Pacific, the
Rock Island, the Burlington or any
other-just an independent line from
Denver to tap our own coal fields in
this state, the timber regions of Wyo-
ming and Montana, and some Of the
richest cattle and sheep lands in he
United States"
Part of Way Located.
The line of the road between this
city and Fort Collins has already been
located. Myself n MIR. Buck spent
the summer surveying the route said
Mr.. Dwyer, 'and it has peen located.
We made two surveys, Dotn Vi WHICH
are feasible and one of which Is all
that could be asked in the way Of
grade and territory. This we consider
the most difficult section of the pro
posed road, and we are satisfied with
it. The line will follow it between the
two points"
Out of chatterton Company.
Several of the members OF the new
company we're connected with the pro-
posed Colorado, Wyoming and ldaho
line, but when the difference arose be-
tween the members Of the board OF
that company, the members OF the
new company withdrew from official
connection with the cid board. The
latter was dominated by Mr.. Powers
and Mr.. Chatterton, and We left the
