The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1881-11-30

The people OF the Black Hills are
alive to the necessity of communion
tion with outside world, and very SEN
sibly are taking active measures to-
ward accomplishing this necessity.
And In this the citizens Of Wyoming
are interested inasmuch as such n
scheme will open up the richest aud
most valuable portion Of this ter
ritory.
The LEADER represents no particu-
lar railroad scheme or corporation. but
Is emphatioally in favor Of developing
and making the best Of Wyoming, and
towards whatever tends to raise this
territory to its proper position among
the surrounding states and territories.
1t has all the material with which TO
build up q rich and prosperous com
monwealth, and to anything which
tends toward the development Of its
recources, the LEADER says God speed,
no matter what particular scheme or
corporation it may. be, so long as 1t will
enhance the interests Of Wyoming and
Cheyenne.
The following from the Deadwood
Times will show how the people of the
Hills look upon the matter, and con-
nected with the article in yesterdays
issue will show how Wyoming and
Cheyenne are linked to their prosperity.
From this and other w~hisperipgs from
railroad circles 1t would seem that the
plans Of q railroad north is one Of the
near possibilities and a probability too,
for that matter. The Times in the
course Of its article says:
There are sagacious responsible men
in the lead Of the enterprise. and their
following embraces solid capitalists on
both sides Of the Atlantic: they are
not moving in matter of such great
Importance blindly, but for months
have been carefully gathering data Of
the natural resources and tho probable
increase in property valuation and pop
ulation Of the coutry through which
1t is proposed to build the road. 1t is
to be a grand trunk line, too-a road
many hundreds Of miles in length, and
which viii require in its construction
and equipment the expenditure Of
many millions of dollars. The object
Is to construct new grand trunk line
from the east to the west through the
magnificent regions lying between
Deadwood and the Montana farming
and mining districts; and the Black
Hills link in this chain will be the first
forged. We have been. waiting on the
old corporations too long. Let our
people manifest the right spirit in the
matter, and We Rave no doubt grading
work will be inaugurated on this side
Of the south fork of the Cheyenne riv-
er early next season. The men forming
the syndicates are not stockholders nor
u~nsparing monopolists; they are young,
enterprising, wide-awake capitalists,
seeking q legitimate field in which to
make investments and engage their en-
ergies and ability. OF this you will be
convinced by Investigation.
A public meeting will be held at
Nye's hall tomorrow night, at which
citizens generally will have the oppor-
tunity to give expression to their views
ON the subject Various speakers, in
Guiding Judge Mcguire. win address
the meeting. We. are satisfied the
judge 10 actuated solely by public spirit
in the interest he has taken; and we
have great condolences. inspired by the
letters be has shown rs, 10 the ability
and intention Of the capitalists be has
interested to inaugurste practical
operations at once, and carry the great
entsrprlss forward to an early confum-
nation.
