DOUBLE DENVER SERVICE.
Special Dispatch to the Leader.
OMAHA. Neb., Nov. 16.-Since the is
suance of printed time cards the Union
Pacific has decided to put on fast trains
between Denver and Cheyenne to connect
with the Nos. 3 and 4. the lightning mails,
at Cheyenne.
The train will leave Beaver at 4:30 a.
m. reaching Cheyenne in three hours and
ten minutes. Denver publishers have
made arrangements to send ont their pa
pers on this train. The train will connect
with the east bound flyer at Cheyenne and
at Denver with Kansas division east
bound through trains.
THE REVISED FIGURES.
These figures give the changes made in
a n which cannot be misunderstood:
New time Old time
here. here.
No. l, westbound... ...2:30 pm 1855 pm
No. 2, eastbound. $3.50 am 1000 am
No. 3, westbound.. ....8:45 am 1855 am
No. 4, eastbound......2: am 3:05 am
Nos. 3 and 4 will be the fast mail trains.
They will take business for district termi-
mails only, not stopping at intermediate
stations except for water or fuel.
Everything on thu line. including the
regular opposite trains, will be sidetracked
for the flyers and every effort will be
made to make schedule time. As the
trains will be light it is probable that card
time will be made. As was stated yester-
day the company will forfeit to the gov-
eminent 500 for every hour or portion
the mails are delayed. When there are
storms light engines with snow plows will
be sent ahead to clear the way for the
thunderbolts.
INFREQUENT MAILS.
Mail will be handled by the flyers only:
the other two trains being used exclusive
" for passenger and express business.
This will bring the western mail into
Cheyenne at 2:l0 in the morning and the
eastern at S:45 a. IN. All trains now
drop mail in Cheyenne. These trains
will ~notlose time handling mail bags. Be-
tween division terminals they will be
thrown off without stopping andtaken on
with the aid Of mail catchers.
FIRST TRIPS.
The first west bound flyer left Omaha
at 6:l5 last evening and will reach Chey-
enne at S:45 this morning. 1t was on

o o'clock this morning. General Manager
Dickinson of the Union Pacific, Superin-
tendent White of the railway mail serv-
ice and a number of newspaper represen.
t~atiVes occupied a special car attached.
The initial east bound Gee Whiz came
into Cheyenne nearly an hour ahead of
time. 1t was running as a special and had
the old regular train as a second section.
When the new card weent into effect at
u o'clock and FIVE minutes this morning
everything except the east bound special
was on schedule figures.

The season of the "sere and yellow
leaf is breaking in upon us, but as the
foliage Of the pine, which largely
predominates in the Black Hills,
does not sere or turn yellow worth
a cent, and September is by far the most
beautiful month in the year, the advent
of this ordinarily melancholy season is
not SO sadly impressive here as it is in
less favored chimes where the trees are
not dressed in perpetual green. There
is nothing suggestive of melancholy in
the Black Hills autumn, unle 8 il might
be in the way of a reminder that winter
was coming too soon upon us, and catch
ing us in our summer clothes, all of which
is liable to happen, and does happen in
many other countries located much
nearer the equator than the Black
Hills.

RAILROAD PROSPECTS.

How much longer has the Judith
Basin to wait for railroad? is the
quest ion many are asking. The Mani
toba and Northern Pacific are well
aware OF the resources of this region.
and have in view their ultimate con-
troll, but just now they are engaged in
IL strong rivalry for the business of
other sections, being content to divide
the revenues derived from the Judith
Basin about evenly. When more i'm
portant branches and extensions are
completed this region will no doubt
receive attention, and there will be
rustling to see who gets here first.
Should the Spotted Horse mine at
Maiden fall into the hands of large
company which would put up exten-
sive works, and the other mines of
that region continue to improve, it
would be a great factor in Fastening
the building OF branch line from the
north or south. A recent write-up in
the Pioneer Press OF Billings and its
tributary country, contains the fol-
lowing:
AT the time the Northern Pacific
road was built a survey was made
from this point to Fort Benton on
the Missouri river, and it was pet
scheme OF President Willard ut that
time to have that road built, rs he
