Rail line eyed to unlock Wasatch asphaltum lands
Salt Lake Tribune reports a proposed ninety mile railroad from Rio Grande Western to Wasatch County to exploit asphaltum and mineral fields. American Asphaltum of Denver and Gilsonite Asphaltum Co. of St. Louis contest for rights with Senator West as a stockholder. Indians may allot 400000 acres for settlement to open vast domain and boost Salt Lake markets.
