Miner: Work on the Northern Pacific
and Montana is progressing much more
rapidly than the general public seems to
be aware. Trains are now running on
both ends and all supplies necessary for
building purposes are delivered at
almost all points by construction trains.
On the east end thirty-six miles of the
track have been ironed, from the Canyon
house, at which point the road connects
with the main line, towards the Jeffer
son. From this end Il little over four
miles of iron have been laid and but a
very short time will elapse before the
track is completed as far as the tunnel.
The latter, it is thought, will be finished
in about four weeks after which the re
mainder of the work yet to be done will
be comparatively light. The prediction
that the entire road would be completed
and ready to be turned over to the op-
Grating department by December 18th
seems in fair way Of being verified.
