More Railroads for Arizona Move Backed by Santa Fe
A plan to build a new line by the Alch Ron Topeka and Santa Fe would run from Congress Junction north of Phoenix to the Colorado River, tapping a rich mineral region long unexplored. Prospectors report copper and gold and the track would ease supply difficulties, spurring mining along the Hargan Hale Harcover mountains and south of Brams Fork.

Cole, a former New York mounted police officer, died aged 35 and was buried in Tombeston cemetery with Rev Elliott officiating.
