Mesa County Boasts
OF a Mahogany Forest

Mesa county has mahogany
forest. This will seem unbeliev
able to many but it is true. On
the John c. "Flughat" Kelly min
ing claim in the Unaweep canon,
is big grove of elegant mahog-
any. some of the trees being over
two feet in diameter. although the
trees themselves are not to ex-
ceed % to 80 feet high. on ac-
count OF the fact that they grow
at an altitude OF 5000 feet, and
are of the mountain mahogany
variety. which is fully as valuable
for making veneer as the tropical
kind.
The existence of the mahogany
forest has been known to only a
few cattlemen for a number of
wears, as there are scattering trees
of that variety on the Uncompah-
gre plateau although they are
scarce. Tne texture OF the wood
on the Kelly claim is extraordi-
nary and log the size OF rail-
road tie cannot be lifted by the av-
erage man. Attempts to saw small
logs in two, that have been made
by a few visitors at the Kelly
cabin have been laughingly use
less. One man wanted a sample
OF the wood and sawed on a three
inch limit for half an hour and
had 10 be satisfied with a half
moon specimen The value OF
the trees il cut down and shipped
away to the veneer manufacturing
mills will run into big sum. Mr.
Kelly figures that some OF the
trees if properly worked up into
useful pieces will be worth more
than 500 each. Several acres
are covered with the heavy
growth. Mr.. Kelly has lately
been investigating the plan OF
shipping the wood and sent
samples east, to receive reports IN
return that the wood was most

Rumors of Changes

Thirty eight bridges on the Rio
Grande Southern, between Rico
and Dolores. are out and the ties
and rails are strewn everywhere
along the famous Dolores or Lost
canon. There is semi-official
rumor going the rounds here that
this line through the Dolores
canon from Mancos up to Rico
will not be rebuilt On account
of the growth of the Montezuma
valley and of the Norwood coun-
try it is thought the Rio Grande
Southern will cut Dolores and
Rico off their railroad map and
build from Mancos through the
Montezuma valley to Cortez, then
north through Cedar in the Nor
wood country, through Paradox
to Montrose, also constructing a
spur to Telluride.
