Well there was more than one BV paper in the past. The Colroado Historican Society has the following papers in their collection...

Chaffee County Democrat
Chaffee County Republican
Chaffee County Times
Buena Vista Democrat
Buena Vista Herald

None of them reported the railroad anywhere near what Leadville did.
