The Utah 4 Northern CON- .,any has a
large force Of men at work in the silver
Bow canyon, some three Or four miles,
beyoad the town q Silver Bow. This
canyon Is on the direct surveyed line OF
the U. L y. rad between Butte and
Deer Lodge, the route chosen by the
Northern Pacific gradens running over
the Hump. The difference in cost Of
the two routes IL but tri6ing, the adj
vantage in grade being almost conpen-
stated for by the difference In length.
Many persons think that the Northern
Pacific Company in reality entertains
no serious idea Of building this branch
Of their rOaad at this time. SOnle " ~
far NJ to call their recent operations
~ more than feint. If 1t be that they
wish to divide Montana business with
the u. P. Company, the former agreeing
not to build to Butte and the latter not

The following from the Helena I"rtc-
pendent Of the 18th inst. IL encouraging.
We breathe more freely when We hear
that III In order to retain its land grant,
the Northern Pacific should find It
necessary to build = line by Butte, the
company could well afford to do it.
Even II they pulled up the track US soon
~ they got title to the land, they
would make several millions BY the
operation"
The grading Of the L. 1. n. rad at
this point will be completed In y month
or six weeks, the work being Of such a
character blasting, picking and shovel
ing Of stone N can be done now -
easily q at any time. There has been
no conflict whatever between the grad
ing forces Of the u. 4 n. and n. T.. r,ads.
The latter company has not attempted
to grade in the canyon. 1t !. thought
there might he room for two trucks
in 1t anyhow. The y. p. surveyors
commenced survey through the silver
Bow canyon and then abandoned It.
Their graders ut the Hump have now
l,ccu paid, and work has ceased.
