Gulf to Coast line to begin last steel link soon
Work starts tomorrow on the final steel link of the Gulf to Coast line with many workers arriving to lay steel. Two miles of steel per day is targeted between Casper and Orin Junction, though one and a half miles may be more realistic. Ballast will follow, with completion of steel in forty five days and ballast in about two months. Through passenger trains are not expected until next summer, with mixed service in the meantime. The project includes multiple oil and water stations and long-term division hubs at Casper and Booneville, while the roundhouse and platform expansion proceed.

Carey act lands lack mineral reservation in patent
A federal land office ruling dated June 25 1914 states Carey act patents to Wyoming lands do not reserve United States minerals. If minerals are later found, the US has no claim and patents would not be canceled. This clears title doubts for Carey act entrymen and supports fee simple patents where patents show no mineral reservation.
