RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS.
What the c., NJ & st. P. Co. is doing
IN Mineral Point.

hh IA otHAs
Extensive Improvements are being
made in and around the machine
shops and engine house of the c.,
NJ. Il st. P company in this city.
During the week force of twenty
five or thirty men has been kept at
work putting in a new turn-table.
This turn-tabie is fifty feet long and
is built in the most substantial man
ner. 1t rests upon eight piles driven
into the ground to the depth of
twenty feet, and is capable of turn
ing a Mogul (six-wheeD engine,
which is the largest engine manu-
featured. The old frame building
adjoining the engine house will be
torn down, and the interior of the
engine house remodelled and i'm
proved throughout. The old stalls
are to be rebuilt with brick and
new floor put in. All the old frame
buildings are to be torn down, and
car house 50x20 feet erected in
their stead. The machine shop
will be rooted with shingles laid in
cement, as will also the other build
ings. The inside of the machine
shop will be fitted up and a new
floor put in this building also. New
chimneys will be built and other nee
essary improvements made, and the
buildings all put in good repair. An
oil house, 16 x 80 feet, will be built
Just south of the turn-table. This
building will be lined with brick
and made fire-proof. A building
will be erected along the track, a
short distance from the depot, for
carpenters tools, bridge tackle, etc.
Warren Allen, foreman of the car
penters on this division, and J. J..
Brooks, foreman, of 4 floating "
force of carpent =, have charge of
the work here under the direction
of chief carpenter A. Bennett, of
WATERFOWL.
1t may not be out of place to
remark that the c., NJ. Il St. z. Co.
is giving Mineral Point a square
DEAL" The company shows its faith
in the city, by the valuable improve
ments which it has made and is still
making here. In fact the entire
conduct of the company towards US
is deserving only of commentator.
Passengers are treated with the
greatest courtesy by the officers and
employees of the company, and ship
pers express themselves as highly
satisfied with the advantages and
accommodations given them. 1t has
frequently been said to US, "Why
don't you give the c., M. & st. Paul
Co. good puff" but we are not
putting the c., NJ. & st. P. or any
other company; we are only stating
facts; and if all railroads were con-
Quoted upon the same broad prin-
ciples as those by which this
company appears to be governed, it
would not be so generally believed
that great corporations have no
souls.
