THE BITTER ROOT EXTENSION.
The Road to Tao the Rich Mineral HlI Sec
tlon- Union Pacific Plans


MIssoULA, Jan. l2.-lSpecial TO the In
dependent THE Mlssoula 4 Bitter Root
railroad Is TO be extended from It's present
terminus at Grantsdale, fifty miles up the
valley. This will bring the road so near
the. Mineral Hill mining district that n
great stampede may be expected into that
section as soon as the snow sufficiently dis
appears to allow prospectors to enter.
Chief Engineer Lothrope left here this
morning with his party Of surveyors for the
terminus Of the road. The extension OF
this road means much TO Missoula county,
as the road will penetrate section rich IN
agricultural, mineral and timber resources.
The people Of the county are elated over
the prospects for railroad building for the
coming summer. Every indication now
points toward the building Of a line from
Garrison into the CGur dAlene by the
Union Pacific. A line Is now being sur
veyed following the nyer grade from Mis-
souls down. An easy grade Is reported,
with much shorter line than the one AT
present used by the Northern Pacific.

LONDON, Jan. I2-The rumor that the

confirmed.
The Blue Book on the Sackville affair has

been accurately laid down by Lord Palm-

THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
American shipbulidlng Again Restored to the
Proud Position II oeee Held.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. l2-The third Of.
fetal trip Of the new 4 nited States dynam-
lie gun cruiser Vesuyius was the most sue
cessful OF the three, the vessel attaining a
rate OF twenty-oDe knots per hour, while
the contract calls for but twenty knots,
The speed attained lacks but six.tenths OF
a rate Of twenty five statute miles per hour,
and puts the vesuylus In the front rank OF
ocean greyhounds, having attained the
tastes speed of any steamship adoat The
length OF the course was officially certified
10 the builders by the naval bohrd as being
fifty-fOur knots, aud Messrs. Cramp were
notified the Nesuyius would have 10 go
over IL each way In 7 min. 81 secs.
in order to attain the mean speed
OF not less than twenty knots an hour re-
quired by the contract. The first run over
the course was In the direction of the tide
and was made In minutes, 80 seconds,
which gives a rate Of 20 70 knots per hour.
The second run, against the tide, was made
In 7. 30, showing a rate Of 20 35 knots.
Secretary Whitney has wired the build
ers AS follows: 81 congratulate you upon
the result Of the trial of the Vesuylus. Con-
sidering the size and class of the vessel aud
the weights carried, you can justly claim
10 have surpassed all records heretofore
made"
Lieut. Buell., in speaking of the results
Of the trial, said the result re-
stores the supremacy Of American ship
builders over the world. This is the first
time America has beaten the world since
the building OF the Menonimo In 1855. The
cruiser will be turned over 10 the govern
ment at once.
