IL is thought that "a move looking very
much as if the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy were preparing TO extend its line
to Butte n the coast has been inaugu-
rated. Yesterday articles of incorpora-
ton Of the Butte City, National Park &
Southeastern railway company were filed
for record with the county recorder. Ac-
cording To these articles the object of the
company is To construct and operate a
railway, the termini OF which are to be in
Silver Bow, jefferson, Beaverhcad, Madi-
son, Gallatin and Lewis u Clarke coun-
ties. The general route of the road is set
out as follows: From Butte s~outheasterly
by way of Blacktail, Deer creek, the Pipe
stone pass and Little Pipestone creek to
the Jefferson river valley in Jefferson
county; thence by way of Jefferson and
Ruby valleys and Alder gulch or some
other practicable route To the Madison
river valley a the town of Ennis thence
i'm n southerly direction through the Mad
ison river valley to the summit of the
Rocky mountains at or near Reynolds
Pass on the %southerly boundary of Mon.
tana. Branches are to be built from a
point ON the above line In he Madison
valley ~southeasterly through the Madison
basin to the western boundary of Vel
lowstone Park; also from a point in
h jefferson valley northerby by way
of the Three Forks in Gallatin
80. A. 1Iu-- T. - n-l-
county; also from Three Forks &c
Bozeman; also from some point in the
jefferson valley southerly to Dillon In
Beaverhead county. The capital stock
of this corporation Is TO he s ,OO0,OOC
divided INT 1000 shares. The principal
place Of business is to be in Butte where
most OF the directors will reside. The
incorporators are Charles ;. Warren,
Wallace NJ. G.. White, II. L. Frank, Lee
Mantel, n. c. Ray, George w. Irvine. T.,
J. Carter, l.. G.. Trent and Joseph II,
Clark. IL Is understood that the c. b.. q
.. system is backing these gentlemen in
their enterprise, that corporation having
long been DESTROYS of securing direct
connection with Butte and surrounding
country. Ii is being pushed at this time
In order to ecure the Pipestone pass
which Is now the only one leading into
this city that is u~noccupied. Mr.. NJ. c,
White was for a number of years amonp
the leading officials of the q system and
his presence at this time Is especial,
significant. A plat of the proposed rout,
has been filed with the secretary of ia,
interior at Washington.
The fact that the Burlington is now ex
tending ITS Northwestern line into IN,
region southeast of here, being alread,
engaged i'm grading "A line across thu
Black Hills. gives some color 10 the SUI
position hat the new company is backe,
by that powerful corporation. The Blaci
Hills route is being pushed with all posi-
BILE speed and portions OF il will be il
operation before the expiration Of IN,
present year.
