RAILWAY NEWS.

IRON FOUNTAIN RAILROAD EXTENSION
From the Black River (Mo.) Newsl
Mr.. Axtel, the engineer in charge Of the
construction corps, arrived in town last
night. He tells US that the road is now
completed to Danielsville, and tat pas
senger trains will be running to that point
in few days. We learn from him that
the rosdbed is now completed to Big
Spring, some eight miles or more this side
Of Danelsville, and that il will be ironed
in short time. Mr.. Axtel tells us that
the work on the whole line down to this
place is progressing as fast as he could
possibly wish. He also informs us that
the contractors on the bridge above town
are advancing their work rapidly, and
will no doubt have it done fully up to
time. Work is now rapidly advancing
on every section from Daniesville to
Poplar Bluff, n distance of forty miles
The whole line above this point will be
finished in few weeks.
Mr.. Axtel tells us that work will COM
mence below town TO the state line early
rext week, and will be pushed rapidly to
completion, will be fully completed inside
of ten weeks. Take it all together, the
work on the Iron Mountain railroad is
progressing with unusual rapidly.
We learn from the propei source that
work on the Cairo and Fulton railroad
OF Arkansas is progressing equally as fast,
| everything considered rs on. the Iron
Mountain railroad. We learn that it is
the intention of the company to finish the
Cairo and Fulton to the state line by the
time the Iron Mountain road reaches that
point. The prospect now is that we shall
be greeted with the arrival of the iron
horse from both those roads at an early
day.
