The Coming Metropolitan Town Of
Northwestern Nebraska.
BOX BUTTE CoUNTY'S FUTURE.
Opening of New and Most Important
Division and junction OF the
Great Is. n NJ. Route and
Its Prospects.
Alliance.

February % of this new year will mark an
important chapter in the history Of Box
Butte county, as indeed Of the entire north
west of Nebraska. The boundaries Of Box
Butte encompass one of the handsomcst
tables of rich and arabic lands to be found
within the fertile limits of Nebraska and the
county Is already settled by an intelligent
and energetic population.
Within the next thirty days the B. 4 NJ r.
II. in Ncb. will have its iron laid to section 10
IN township 25 north, of range 4S west, in
Box Butte county, Nebraska, and, at the
date named above, February 25, the Lincoln
Land company will have surveyed and
plated, ready for sale and occupancy tho
town of Alliance, located upon the land
above described
At this point is formed the junction of the
the B. Il NJ now surveyed, one extending
west on the Snake river into Wyoming and
the other running northwest through tho
town of HemingfOrd.
This conveyance opens into Nebraska at
this point, the immense trade which must
be eventually handled on these lines.
wyoming, Montana and western Dakota
from their mountains will yield such supply
OF minerals, coal, oil and building stone as
will create now source for these great rul-
ing features of trade for the western and
middle states, while the Powder, Yellow
stone, White, Niobrara and Snake rivers,
from their fertile valleys, will send forward
their great yield of livestock and agricult-
ural products, all Of which, from the country
tributary to the new lines will center the
worlds markets through the Alliance. Even
cursory examination of map showing the
geography of this new and undcveloped tor
ritory, will give cear idea of the favorable
conditions attached to this location as a fut-
ure iobbing, distributing and even manufac-
turing point
The northwest must have commanding
point for trade and its distribution, and, GER
acter exists with this new and we'll chosen
location, which, together with its superior
railroad facilities and conditions promises
fairly for that center.
A large area Of agricultural land between
the NiObrara and Snake rivers secures q Ger
tain and reliable local trade of the best char
acter, so that there would seem here, in all
respects, to be the fairest opening for energy
and capital now Offering for the investor and
trader seeking the best chance.
Division and junction facilities will ut once
be established at this point, aud regular
trains will be running between Omaha and
Lincoln and Alliance by the 25th of Feb
ruary.
The site, the prospects suggested in this
outline of the future of the country referred
to, are not frequently offered to people who
desire to make home or lay the foundation
for future success On the contrary, in
the majority of instances, the most that is
offered is a barren country, devoid of natural
advances and wanting above all things in a
railroad, without which the develop
ment Of the section would be
slow, tedious and 'unprofitable.
But such is not the condition of the country
referred to. 1t is blessed with all the gifts
of heaven and supplied with all the advan-
tages which enter into the building up of u
new community. It yet holds fortunes for
the energetic and Industrious settler as we'll
as inducements for the capitalist which can
scarcely be experienced elsewhere. This
is the greatest of the few opportunities re-
naming in this state and wise people will not
be slow to avail themselves of il.
