Steamboat sprines-crais Railroad

Steamboat SprGgs.-Cne of the
richest mineral sections of the West
is to be tapped by an extension of the
Moffat road from Steamboat Springs
to Craig in Routt county. The new
road will be forty miles in length and
will draw traffic and develop more
than 1000 square miles of rich coal
lands and vast areas adaptable to any
kind Of agricultural development. The
project will cost S1,000,000.
The articles of incorporation of the
building company are being prepared
for filing with the secretary of state.
A group of Bear valley capitalists are
financing the road. They commenced
the survey four months age when the
Denver, Northwestern e Pacific com
pany seemed to be on the verge Of a
receivership.
In opening up Routt county, the pro-
posed line, it is claimed, will be of
more direct benefit than is the Moi
fat road, since the new line penetrates
further into the actually productive
section. The line will follow the
course of the Bear river.
According to John j. Argo, enSl-
neer for the incorporators of the new
company, no one connected with the
Denver, Northwestern & Pacific is af-
filiated with the men who have pro-
NOTED the scheme, but it is considered
logical that the line will ultimately b.
purchased by the Moffat interests.
A traffic arrangement for it will
have to be made with the Moffats to
insure an outlet. The Bear valley fl
nanciers have had to dicker with the
Moffat interests for large part of
their right-of-way.
According to Argo the grading work
will be commenced this summer and
will be finished by January l, 1918.
During the summer Of 1913 the laying
of the rails will be completed.
