Eau Claire Free Press, 18th: As soon as
the cut at the intersection of the Eau
Claire & Chippewa Falls road with the
main line of the Omaha in this city is
+! completed, the track iron will arrive and
the work of laying it will commence at
| this end. The grading crews are prose
cutting their work vigorously and it is ex
pected trains will be running sometime
during the earlier part of next month.
The tracklayers on the Northern Pacific
road have reached the high trestles this
side of Mullan tunnel, and as no more
track can be laid until the trestles are
completed the force have been withdrawn
to the National Park branch. The force
will be divided into the track laying gang,
the bridge builders, the surfacing crew,
and the pile-driving outfit. Two pile
drivers will be used, and the work pushed
so rapidly that from present prospects
forty days work will permit trains to run
to the terminus up the branch. Burr K
Field, a gentleman of great ability in his
profession. is assistant engineer on track
and bridges, and Billy Smith will be
engineer in charge at the end of track.
There seems every reason to believe that
the Park branch will be completed early
in the month of August.
