Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1880-05-01

The Post and Tribune says: Mr.. James
Mcmillan returned from New York Fri
day evening Of last week. He had been
absent for some time, and among other
things was looking up the prospects for
western connection with the Marquette
and Mackinac railroad. The Northern
Pacific authorities give full assurance Of
tSeir sympathy with the project of COM
pleting line from 0ntOnagOn to Duluth.
They are awake to its importance, and
there is every probability of its being
pushed through at very early day.
Within the last few days contract has
been let for the construction of 20 miles
more of the Marquette and Mackinac,
i'm addition to the 20 miles contracted
for last winter. This will be completed
the coming fall, if possible. The remain
der was to have been contracted for this
week, and the company hope to have the
line complete from PIT. ST. Ignace to
Marquette early in 1881. Assurances
have been obtained from the Grand
Rapids and Indiana, and the Jackson,
Lansing and Saginaw people that their
respective lines will run to the straits
before the Marquette and Mackinac line
is completed. This makes it exceedingly
probable that within comparatively
short time DetrOiters can 60 by rail to
Duluth and beyond, without leaving the
State; and large amount of traffic now
going to Chicago will go to the City of the
Straits.
Nine thousand tons of steel rail have
been purchased, at an average price OF
$50 per ton; locomotives are being con-
tracted for, and many important details
of supplies and construction are being
attended to.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1880-05-01
The Sauls River Improvement.

Gen. Weitzel of the corps of engineers
who has charge Of the improvement of
the Sault river, last Monday forwarded to
Washington an estimate of the cost of
the proposed improvement of the Sault
Ste. Marie River. The report is long and
very complete and of general interest.
Gen, Weitzel states that certain act
provided for the expenditure of 100000
on the survey of the Sault River, and
that he was instructed to proceed with
that survey May 81, 1879. The amount
expended upon the survey and improve
ment of the river to date is $28,5OO. This
leaves balance Of 81 800 to continue
the work. The survey has been under
the personal supervision OF Mr.. Alfred
Noble, and has been made in the most
complete manner possible and covered a
distance of thirty eight miles. The esti-
mates were based upon securing depth
of water through the river equal to that
through the new canal, which is sixteen
feet. The estimated expense OF the i'm
provement is $2O9, 247 which would neces-
state further appropriation OF $780,
600. 1t is highly important that the
work should be completed by the time
the new locks are ready for operation.
which 1t Is thought will be in 1881. Gen.
Weitzel urges the immediate apprOpria-
ton of this amount.
