at the quarry just now. The Denver and Rio Grand Railroad Company is buying the right of way from Colton to Vernal so seemingly official reports say. Colton is west of here on the D.& R.G. When they will actually build we cannot say. We have on hand now about 5000 ft of lumber, a supply of nails wire etc. and 300 lbs of giant powder. Yours in haste Earl Douglass
