MOFFAT MAY GET
GERMAN CAPITAL
Inspection Being Made for In
veStorS Who Recently Sold
Colorado & Southern.

The news that Henry II. Wehrhane left
Denver several days ago to make an in
spection trip over the Moffat road was
brought to this city by p. A. Shaughnas-
sey, travelling representative of the Lake
Shore railway, who was-in the city on his
way to San Francisco. Mr.. Wehrhsne
represents the German capitalists who
were interested in the Colorado x South
ern and who sold to the burlington. Mir.
Shaugnassey says that i'll Denver the re-
port was current when he left that the
Germans are considering the proposition
of transferring their money to the Moftat
road
The German investors once before
caused an inspection of the Moffat road
with view of investing. but at that time
did not take a financial interest in the
road. stating as a reason that they were
tied up with the Colorado & Southern
The report now is that they have decided
to go into a syndicate with D. II. Moffat
and others associated with him and build
the road through to this city.
Some strength is given to the probability
of the reliability of the report by the pres
ent inspection trip of Mr.. Wehrhane on d
special train and also by reason Of in
structions that have been given out for
engineers plans and specifications for
drilling the tunnel through the mountain
range at James peak. 1t is decided that
this tunnel must be built because il would
be impossible to handle heavy freight
trains over Rollins pass.
