RAILROAD ENTERPRIsE.-A company has been
formed. styled the Montesana and Deer Creek
Railroad Co., which has for its object the run
ming of railroad track. one mile in length, to
bring quartz to the Oriental and other mills on
Deer creek. The road commences at the Ori-
entail mill, and will terminate at point above
Gated many rich quartz ledges, among which
may be mentioned the Lecompton. Beach's,
Buchanan, and Jacobs. The track is to be
laid so as to run the quartz down to the mills
in the vicinity of the terminus, without any
propeling power. That this is not visionary
enterprise, it is merely necessary TO state that
the survey and estimates have all been made,
and the work is commenced.
