RAILS COMING WEST.
Material for Great Northern
Track on the Way.
PROPOSED LINE TO oKANocAN.
Everett d Monte Cristo TO he Extended
Route Of tho Nelson = Fort
Sheppard Road.

The material for tracklaying on the
Great Northern Railroad from the Sound
eastward is now on the way here. Be-
tween 400 and SOD car loads of rails and
fastenings from the Illinois Steel Company
have been shipped over the Great North
ern. They will be transferred at Spokane
to the Northern Pacific, which will deliver
them again to the Great Northern at
Boulevard. From Everett they will go
over the Everett & Monte Cristo to the
material yards now being prepared at
Lowell, where tracklaying will begin.i
Locomotives and cars for construction
purposes are also on the way out here. So
also is additional equipment for the coast
lines.

NELSON 3 FORT SHEPPARD ROAD.
Surveys to Be Completed This Year
The Proposed Route.

Surveys to Be Completed This Year
The Proposed Route.
The engineers of the Nelson & Fort
Sheppard railway, which ID. G. Corbin,
president of the Spokane & Northern, in
tends building, are now in the field, and
will complete their surveys before winter.
The northern terminus will be at Nelson,
where surveys for terminal buildings,
shops and yards will be made before
the end OF September. Construction will
begin in the spring.
The Victoria Cotonist says that, though
the road will be mountain line, its con-
struction will not be very difficult. 1t will
be aboat 40 miles in length, running
from the boundary line north along the
Columbia river as far as Beaver creek,
thence along Beaver creek until it strikes
the main Salmon river and its western
fork, thence along to the Cottonwood
Smith creek. From here it is probable a
detour of from six to eight miles will have
to be made to get down the west arm
OF the Kootenay river to reach Nelson.
The bridging of the Pend d'Oreille river
must be done during the coming winter,
as in the summer months, more especially
at the present season, the water is too high
and the current. too swift to work to adj
vantage. The line runs through a first
class timber belt, especially along the
Salmon river, where the timber is consid-
cred to be the best in the whole Kootenai
country. It is principally white pine
and hemlock and is especially valu-
able. Most of the line between
Nelson on the north and the Pend
d'Oreille river on the south runs through
Incorporated lands, and it is said the
principal owners of the lands which have
been taken up, and through which it is
proposed the line shall run, are the Davies
Sayward Company, who own large tracts
upon the Columbia and Salmon rivers. It
will open up the Kootenai and Kaslo-
SLOGAN mining districts, where considera
bic development is now being made.

A ROAD TO THE OKANOGAN.
Proposed Extension Of the Monte CristO
Road Across the Mountains.

&SO8U ACrOSo INC MOunt8knSs
The Everett & Monte Cristo Company
contemplates an extension of its road into
the Okanogan country. Surveys have
been made for the line and the engineers
report good route and fine mineral
country.
The road would run down the south fork
of the Sank, from the point where the
Everett q Monte Cristo line crosses the
divide between the Sank and the Stilla-
guamish. 1t would then run down to the
forks of the Sank and up the north FORK to
Indian pass. After crossing the noun
tains it would run past the head of Lake
Chelan, down the Twitsp and the Methow
and up the Okanogan to Loomiston.
Preparatory to this extension, grading for
three sidetracks is being done on the small
plateau between the Sank and Stillaguam-
ish, on which Smith Bros camp is To-
Gated.

very carefully. They found q lot of gun
fiints. with which the Hussar was ballast

her of black, granular chunks puzzled all

We must have hauled mp five hundred
