Hello C&Sers,
I have had this on my website for many years. Here is the C&S isolated from the CB&Q Valuation. I hope that it provides some questions and answers. I saw the original valuation flies at the National Archives and Records Administration in College Park, Maryland and believe me there's lots to it. I made copies of the field notes and track plats. There was nothing dealing with the Gilpin Railroad as it had been abandoned in the year of publication. Sorry that the formatting isn't better but this wasn't typed with whatever Nabble uses as a word processor...
