Jerry Ryan made a trip to Le"n
Lake the fore part of the week for the
purpose OF ascertaining the conditions
of the reservoir and other holdings of
the company. He found that there
was between l3 and IA feet of solid
snow on the level there and many big
drifts were three and four times that
deep. The Leon Lake cabins were en-
tirely covered and considerable digg ing
had to be done before they could be
reached. This amount of snow will fill
the reservoir and then some.
During the past week no new de-
velopments have arisen regarding the
railroad project A number OF the di-
rectors are in Denver and other places
this week interviewing nonresident
land owners and getting them to sign
up the contracts. Nothing authentic
is obtainable at this time and the vari-
GUS rumors are to be dscredited as one
can hear almost any kind of report.
We are of the opinion that the whole
project is waiting for the signatures of
some of the land owners who have not
yet signed up, and upon whom the pro-
ject rests.
