U|ATAH MAYBE
BUILT INTO
THIS CITY
Official Announcement Is Made in
Denver of the Proposed Expendi-
ture of Three Million Dollars
in New Construction.

An extension of the Uintah rail-
road from its present terminus to
Fort Duchesne and Vernal, Utah,
where it will connect with the Den
yer, Northwestern & Pacific and form
new route to Salt Lake City, has
been authorized by its directors, says
the Denver Times. The work is to
commence this spring and will cost
between s2,500,O00 and $4,000, 900.
The plans include the broad-gaug-
ing of the present line from Mack,
Colo, to Dragon, Utah, the boring of
five tunnels to reduce the heavy
grades of the narrow-gauge line, and
a possible extension of the road into
Grand Junction. The plans, as at
present outlined, will virtually make
the road feeder for the Denver,
Northwestern & Pacific when it is
ultimately extended from Steamboat
Springs into Salt Lake City.
The Uintah railroad was built
about five years ago to haul gilsonite
out of eastern Utah and western Col
orado. The Barber Asphalt Com
pany of Philadelphia owns 81 ,749,-
500 out of the 1,750,00O of capital
stock. 1t has proven big financial
success almost from the first day of
operation, and last year it had net
earnings almost equal to 10 per cent
of its capital. Vaile, McAllister x
Vaile of Denver are its legal repre-
sentatives. The line is 81 miles long
and all of this mileage, with the ex-
ception of 4 miles, is in Colorado.
The route for the extension of the
road will carry it to one OF the rich
est sections in the United States
When the Moffat road is ultimately
extended to Salt Lake City it will
give the Uintah an outlet for it's traf-
fic to the west and also open another
route for 1t to haul its enormous gill
sonite traffic out through Colorado
over the Denver, Northwestern G. Pa
cific.
The largest engineering work to be
done on the line will be at Baxter
pass, just at the boundary line be-

tween Garfield and Rio Blanco coun-
ties. This tunnell will be 5000 feet
long and will cost s1,000,0OO. The
route to Vernal will follow closely
the present toll road. The extension
into Fort Duchesne will branch OFF
at White river. which river it will
follow to Fort Duchesne. Practically
all the merchandise traffic handled
by the road at present is from Mack
to Vernal and Fort Duchesne, all of
which is hauled more than half the
way by wagons.
