Mineral Point Rail Road Exens;o,

The charter OF the Lacrosse and Mus
coda Railroad Company has been amen
| ded by the late Legislature of Wisconsin
| so as to form n connection with the Mine
raj Point Railroad; thus formin. a direet
ana much shorter line from the upper
mississippi to chicago than any route now
open. Inc charter as amended, is now
known as the LaCrosse and Mineral Point
Railroad, and possesses advantages that
would have secured the full con ,truction
OF the propose road long since, except for
the present mad rebellion
The proposed line of road will find ~
easy grade due North of Mineral Point,
| through bod ecville, in Iowa county, cross
ing the Wisconsin River and Prairie Du
CHEN Raii~ay, SO as to meet the rich low
lands OF RichIand C}1.nty, passing throu III
the fertile valley Of Pine River. and eros s
ing the beautiful prairies Of Vernon coun-
ty at or near Niroqua in a North westerly
direction to Lacrosse.
The entire proposed line IS well settled
with thrifty farmers, and the local bust
ness would at once be large The through
business would be very great, for the en-
tire upper Mississippi Valley would enjoy
not only the shortest route To Chicago. but
would possess a southern outlet by the
connection at Warren in this State, with
the great Illinois Central Railway.
The distance from I4aCrosse to Chicago,
by the Milwaukee roads or by the North
western, is 80 miles; BY the Mineral Point
route q great saving is secured From La
Crosse to Mineral Point the distance by
route named IS only % miles. and from
Miner Il Point to Chicago, the distance is
III miles thus giving the proposed route
a saving Of IS miles Therefore the con
struction Of 90 miles of new road through
an old and well settled country. would
place St Paul and Minnesota trade in
Western Illinois and Wisconsin, at pres
ent destitute of railway facilities
The construction of the route north of
Mineral Point, will of course, throw
large travel on the Galena and Chicago
Union, and during the winter season. the
trade and travel South would use the IL
inois Central, and although these roads
are seeking western trade, they seem to
overlook the Northwestern trade that now
finds its way TO Milwaukee
The business of the Prairie Du CHEN
road and the old Lacrosse road is a living
evidence Of the amount of trade and travel
centering at Milwaukee, simply because
Chicago has no competing line OF railway
on the upper Mississippi. Chicago should
not lose sight ESQ important an enterprise,
having such advantages and bringing to
our city q trade so desirable. Let our
business men and railway companies,
whose roads would be benefited by this
proposed extension, see to it that the Min
eral Point Railway Company are not want
