The Jefferson City Tribune says
that it is ':pretty generally believ-
ed here and in Mexico that the in
corporators ofthe c., III. Us. made
an offer to the managers of the C.
& A. road for the purchase of
the fifty miles of road between
Mexico and Cedar City. The Al
ton, however, declined to sell, and
this action has caused many sur
misses as to what the G.. & A. in
tends to do with the South Branch.
During the past year considerable
money has been expended upon
the road. In some places new
depots and platforms have been
erected. The road-bed has been
put in good condition; steel rails
have been laid in place of the old
iron on several sections and other
repairs have been made. The
general overhauliEg given the
Branch, and the refusal to sell it to
the Burlington, is considered a
pretty good indication that the
Alton has an eye directed towards
Southwest Missouri, and it may be
that the most startling develop
ments of all may come from this
quarter inside of two months"
AT SPRINGFIELD.
The people of Springfield are
working earnestly to secure the
new railroad from Hannibal. Mons
ster mass meetings are held there
every few days and already a sum
large enough to cut a big hole in
the 500 600 asked of that city has
been raised.
1t is evident that the Chicago
and Alton folks contemplate an
extension of their branch from
this city. So those up in railroad
matters think. Everything points
that way, and all Mexico wants is
this extension and the new road to
Springfield.
Dallas county is coming ap
nobly for the new line. Several
thousand dollars have been sub
seribed and the people r takinga
great interest in the enterprise.
The general offices of the G., H.
& S. have been located at Spring;
field, Mo.
The new road ought to be COM
pleted to Mexico by the first OF
August.
