Hopes Burlington Will Build.
John Francis, general passenger agent of the Burlington, was in Denver one day last week and is quoted by a Denver paper as follows:
"I hope the Wyoming extension of the Burlington will be built. It's not like the Burlington to stop anywhere, we're always building, you know. Especially is that the case in a rich undeveloped country, like Wyoming where we already have coal locations for over 26,000 acres of land. Of course we are not informed as to the plans of the owners, but I think there will be further extension work done."
