the best advice of the officials cf the
Moffat road will not reach the Yampa
coal fields before the middle of the win
ter Mr Lindemann took a trip over the
Moffat road saw the track laying and
says it is done with wonderful rapidity
Upon timing them he saw they laid two
steel rails per minute and asking the
foreman learned they covered a distance
of two miles per day They were at
work laving the switchback over the
continental divide He also visited the
Yampa fields in Routt county and de
clares that few people of today have any
conception of the unlimited amount of
coal iron oil andgokl that will in time
be found in those fields Mr Linde

himself in the real estate business being

wish to invest in valuable property will
do well to call and see him He will be
pleased to have his friends list their
