deal declared off few weeks ago is
still in process of incubation and it is
generally believed here that an act
ual sale and purchase will soon be of
ficially announced. The deal gener-
ally believed to be under way is for
the purchase Of all the Pagosa Lum-
ber company's holding, including the
Dulce Indian timber, by the New
Mexico Lumber company. The fact
that the latter company is putting
its railroad track from Lumberton
to Elvado in repair lends color to the
general belief that the deal is still
pending. The company has a mod
ern mill at Elvado and although it
has timber remaining within reach of
the mill, it is said that much of the
Indian timber is also within reach of
the mill and that this would be a
prime reason for the repairing of the
railroad and the probable starting of
the mill in the near future.-Pagosa
