gone into numberIess channels Of

reveal; but there is promise Of
enough to justify the construction Of
this branch Of the Moffat road for
the purpose Of dividing with the old

"The Moffat road Is to be not

II Is to be also a factor In the local
development Of Colorado through the
construction Of branch lines and feed.

may be disclosed, what Industries

these Improvements In rail eonnec-
