Icicle River Railroad Survey Near Leavenworth
The Echo notes no survey has begun for a railroad up the Icicle river from Leavenworth though plans were discussed earlier. A copper ore body on the Van Epps property has seen $50,000 to $100,000 of past development, and recent assays indicate potential profit after mining and smelting costs. High metal prices bolster belief the project may advance soon.
