BIsNARK, D. T., JUNE 18th 1879.
Editors Avant Courier:
Your favor was received some time since
and answer has been deferred on account
Of the pressure of other business matters
and now, l am not at all certain that what
l write will be any news to You.
The Northern Pacific let 200 miles OF
road to Walker, Bellows, & Co., and they
have large force at work-25O teams and
400 men.-They get ties at Brainerd, $50
miles east of US, at cost of 50 cents, laid
down on west bank of Missouri river. part
of the rails will be steel of best quality.
The objective point is Tongue river, 2O5
miles west of Missouri river.
They expect to finish 100 miles this fall.
Mandan on west side Of Missouri is town
of 1850 people, the track is laid out about
10 miles from there and grading is going
on about Is miles further out.
My private opinion is that W. 3. Co.
have got large elephant on their hands,
in this contract at the figures they took it
at. From present appearances they are
going to fail, and the Company IN. p.
4. r. will probably finish the work, if
they take charge of it, there is no doubt in
my mind, but that it will be put right
through, they are abundantly able to do
this as the money has all been subscribed
and paid in, and they want to build the
road at once.
This is about all the information can
give you now, but will gladly let you know
from time to time the progress made &C.,
&c. Yours

disa tor Haskins & McGurl, also for Nc
