From the Yellowstone Journal, 4h.
We learn from Aleck Jenny that the track
was laid within eighteen miles of Glendive
on the 1st inst, and was progressing very
rapidly. Barring accidents, the road will be
completed to Glendive fifteen DAYS ahead of
time.
News comes that the grade of the railroad
between Ferry Point and Glendive is being
washed ont by the high water. At Iron Butte,
a few miles below Cedar Creek, four miles
are reported gone. This point has given the
engineers great trouble ever since the break
up in the river, aud is liable to give them
more. At every point where the bluffs i'm
pinge the river, difficulty arises, as the earth
is of such character that water melts 1t like
sugar. These breaks will all be repaired in
advance of the srack-layers, and before an-
other spring the engineers will surmount the
difficulty, and find some way to control the
Yellowstone.
A circular issued by the General Passenger
Agent of the company states that the Mis-
souri, Division is now open to the Little Mis-
souri,, 152 miles west of the Missouri River,
and train leaves daily, Sunday excepted, at
Jpn. Until further notice, a line of daily
stages will connect at Green River for Glen
dive, Miles City and points in the Yellow
stone Valley. The stage fare from Green
River to Glendive is s15, and from Green
River to Miles City is $3.50. 1t is expected
that the track, which is being laid at the rate
of over mile day, will reach Miles City
early IN June.

wEsTwooD

Is new town on the railroad twenty-one
miles from Spokane Falls, and at the point
where the railroad leaves the prairie for the
timber and the mountain pass via Pen
d'Oreille Lake. At present it consists Of
three saloons, one store and one hotel. Har-
ris' camp of railroad builders, numbering 40
Chinese and IS whites, with a large number
of teams, was located within mile of West
wood, while several camps of tie and tele-
graph pole cutters were near by. Sprague q
Fairweather have an immense tent at the
railroad camp full of goods. We passed the
night at Westwood and in the morning drove
over TO Camp Occur dAlene, nine miles dis
tant. About six miles Of the distance to the
new post is over a solid gravel road, through
the timber, by the side OF the cleaning Spo-
kane river, the drive reminding us of the
whitehouse road in its palmy days. Camp
Coeur dAlene is one OF the handsomest
places on the Northwest Coast, If not the
most attractive on The Pacific slope. The
cars of the Northern Pacific Railroad will
pass within ten miles of Occur d Alene Lake,
and we venture to say that in another year it
will become the pleasure resort of the north
west.-Ed. Corr. Walld Wdlta Union, June

Speaking of the scraper method of remov-

distance it pays to move dirt with scraper
is two hundred feet; with wheelbarrows,
three hundred feet. Beyond that distance
carts or tramways are cheaper.

When Colonel Dodge went from Deer
Lodge to Helena three weeks ago, he found
Mr.. Chenoweth's surveying party camped
near McDonald's Toll Gate. The "air line"
las it was called, owing to its lofty route)
crossing through Railroad Pass developed"
by edging down along the east side OF the
mountains, crossing the Priest Pass Toll
Road near its summit, and McDonald's Toll
Road this side of the Toll Gate. This was a
remarkable route, indeed, and it is not sur
prising that Colonel Dodge Immediately dis
continued that experimental line and order
ed a resurvey by tunneling the Mullan Pass,
which would permit the extension of the
line down Greenhorn Gulch. We cannot but
admire, now that we know the route work
was suspended on, the magnificent manner in
which the Independent let GO of the air line
and approved the tunnel route.
But the tunnel route involves difficult engi-
neering work and an immense outlay. 1t
starts on the West Side at the entrance to
Railroad Pass and passes through the Mullan
Road Hill. Its length is stated by one with
the survey party to be 66O0 feet-a mile and
quarter At it's eastern exit is a trestle 200
feet long; some distance further is trestle
700 feet long and 100 feet high; still further
on, at Skelley's Gulch, is a trestle 1850 feet
long and 211 feet high, was surveyed for, bui
it is since reported this can be reduced by
another route. The distance from mouth OF
Little Blackfoot to Helena by that route is Al
miles, From Helena to Three Forks, Gala
tin City, by wagon road, than which rail
road would not be shorter, is Il miles; total
126 miles. The distance from mouth OF Lit
tie BlacEfoot TO Deer Lodge is 8 miles; from
Deer Lodge to Three Forks, ria Dry Cotton
wood, is estimated by Colouel Dodge and Mr.
| A. j. Elder at 81 miles total, 100 miles. The
Dry Cottonwood Pass is therefore rs mile,
| shorter and necsssitates very little, If any
| tunneling, and that only to secure more ia
yorable line in reaching the Caraboo bench
| This tunneling is expensive business and Il
| only INDUCED in as a necessity by railroad
| companies. Two years ago there were onl,
957 railway tunnels in the world, having ,
total length of 291 miles. There were 115 O
these in North America, having total length
| of 80 miles. One tunnel on the Northwestern
railway, England, a mile and a third long
cost 81 ,5OO, 900. The Nerthe tunnel in France
three miles long, cost 50, 100000 The Hoosa
tunnel, On the Boston and TROY route, is
miles long. 1t was begun in 1856 and com
| pleted two or three years ago. With 80 mile
| of adjoining road il cost nearly sl4 1000 ,0Oo
but it is built for double track. 1t is no
probable the N.rthern Pacific tunnel, :
mile and a quarter long, through favorabl
formation, with steam diamond drills, coul
be built for less than $50 per foot.
Trestling, aside from its danger, is expen
sive, and, with Montana pine timber, subjec
to shrinkage and warping, not desirable, es
cept when it can afterward be filed in. Cor
sidering these things, we do not regard tn
outlook favorable for the Helena route.

HELENA VIEWS.
Our Railroad Prospects--Other
Notes OF News.
A BRIEF DISPLAY OF ITEMS OF THE DAY

A BRIEF DISPLAY OF ITEMS OF THE DAY.
i hope I've not aroused the latent ire
OF that bright local, Percy Mcintyre,
Nor ruffied the calm spirit Of the staid
Massena Bullard or witty Hugh McQuaid
BY thus infringing the poesic plan
OF the Sweet Singer of far Michigan.
They hint my muse sings not with welltrain-
ed Tyre
And that my verse breathes no poetic fire
As if police notes were the roper kind
With thoughts poetic to surcharge the mind,
And other news Of like denomination
The feeding-grounds of heaven-born inspira-
ton.
/ own these critics make my zeal diminish
And that I'd quit these rhymes and never fin
ish;
But "Lawrie" ut my elbow says complete
them,
For she Gloves poets well enough to eat
them"
All! how i long for such to be my fate,
For then I'D be the poet Lawrie-ate.
To Judge by what well-posted people say
Our railroad prospects grow better each day.
The narrow gauge we've always hoped our
own,
And now our hopes to certainties have
grown;
A force of men are now at work, they say,
Constructing grade not fifty miles away,
And Helena people with their own glad eyes
Will see the iron horse before snow flies.
The North Pacific is our next bright hope,
Which, on its way to the Pacific slope,
Must cross the range we know, but wherea-
bout
is one of those things no one can find out.
The only routes, as many seem TO view 1t,
Are this by Helena and that by Butte.
Butte claims its pass is lowest, which 1
doubt,
We vclaim the easiest, shortest, cheapest
route
But If by Helena or Butte twill go
No one, not even the surveyors, know.
Railroad and Mullan Pass have both been
tried.
And now, It's said, to reach the other side
A tunnel thu ough the mountain will be made
To shorten distance and save heavy grade.
It's length will be about three thousand feet
And cost million dollars when complete.

CONNECTING THE RAILROADs.-The rail.
road connection between the Allegheny and
the Petersburg railroads at the head Of the
basin does not appear to make much pro.
gress. Ii seems that the Street Committee
recommended an ordinance authorizing the
connection, but containing condition that
the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad
Company should pull up the track In Eighth
street between Canal and Byrd streets, in
front OF the Public warehouse; and as the
removal OF this track would render the
basin connection OF little value TO the Rich
mond and Petersburg railroad. besides in
jurug the Public warehouse, the company
declines to accept the condition. Mean
time. however, the Allegheny company is
bridging the canal at Eighth street and
working full force in the basin. The
connection must await another meeting OF
the committee.

BROOKLYN, l.. l., June IA. 1881.
TO The Editors Of the Richmond Dispatch
Dear Sirs,-In your issue Of the llth in
slant. notcingImy case against the city oi
Richmond, it would appear that the verdict
OF the Jury was for damages. This is not
so. and you will please correct the impress
sion. The case was one in which the city
was my debtor for material and labor, and
the award OF the jury was for about the
exact amount OF these cash expenditures.
At any time before the case came on was
willing to leave it 10 the arbitration OF any
respectable man in the city. The officials,
however, wanted to deprive me OF my time,
material, and money, but an honest jury
would not permit them to do so.
By inserting this explanation in your pa
per you will oblige,
Respectfully yours, THOMAS MCCAIN.
