140000000000 Tons of Coal and San Juan Resources
Jay Turley of Aztec told the Santa Fe board that San Juan county in 1909 produced about two million dollars in business and would channel through Santa Fe if feasible. He argued San Juan’s resources are vast yet underdeveloped with 20,000 acres cultivated and 2,000,000 acres watered. He cited the Derango Gallup fields as 140 billion tons of coal, and urged rail connections following western stream routes despite the Continental Divide.

Ditch project eyed for Farmington road link
J. B. ONeil heads a large crew building along the high bluff west of the La Plata river. Extending the ditch road to the Fruitland line could cost about 4600 to 5000 dollars but would shorten the Farmington to lower San Juan route by about three miles and boost development in the Farmingon district. The county and residents urged joint funding with the ditch company for the improved road.
