the strings were tied, and at theend OF
each string was card on which the

obliged to wind the string on the card
and find the other end, to which favor

were fastened. The evening ended with

A Bridge near Dcadwood.

Times, Oct. 4: The necessary exca-
walton for the easterly abutment of the
bridge for the Fremont. Elkhorn and.
Missouri Valley railroad, south Of
Deadwood street, was finished yester-
day afternoon, and the foundation.
commenced. About fifteen yards of
rock were laid. Foreman Mans ex-
poets to have the wall above water
level this evening. When completed
it will be IS feet high and 10 feet
thick. The foundation is 34x1S feet,
all solid masonry laid in cement and
sunk five feet IN bed rock. The COM
panion abutment will be near Dead
wood street. The span will be seventy
feet and the bridge of iron, material
for which is now on the road, and the
structure will be on an angle Of As de-
grees. The channels of all three
creeks, viz, Whitewood, Deadwood and
City, will be SO changed that they will
unite their streams between the piers
Of the bridge. Such change will me-
cessitate a large amount Of work and
excavation. Bulkheads or retaining
walls will be erected that will keep the
water in its new channel, thus allevi-
at,ng all danger TO adjoining property.
Work on the bridge below the smelter
commenced Thursday morning. Many
tons Of rock are already in place, and
the mason work on it will probably be
finished next week.
