RAILROAD FOR THE HILLS.
Burlington May Build From Dead
wood ~ Newcastle.

Burlington May Build From Dead
wood ~ Newcastle.
Deadwood - : syeral of the highest
officers of the Burlington system have
just made a trip to the Black Hills
and along the Wyoming division of
the road, chiefly for the purpose of
looking over the proposed route be-
tween Deadwood and Newcastle. 1t
is stated that General superintendent
Calvert, who has personally inspected
the route as surveyed, has recon-
mended the building of the road. 1t
can be built as cheap as most western
roads and much cheaper han the
roads running through the Black Hills.
1t is estimated that the building OF
this road will triple the output OF coal
and coax from the Cambria and New
castle mines. The distance from the
coal mines to Deadwood by the pres
ent route is 165 miles, and by the pro.
posed route 1t will be lessened to 93.
The present train tonnage from Edge"
mont TO Deadwood is about 200 tons
to the engine, over the proposed route
it is estimated a train OF 6oO tons can
be hauled. AT present twelve engines
and twelve train crews are engaged IN
hauling the freight from Edgemont TO
Deadwood, and on the new road the
service will be reduced one-haf. The
consumption of coke by the smelters
in the Northern Hills is enormous. the
ores from Montana used for nuxing
urposes by the smelters would come
In over the proposed route at a saving
of seyenty-five miles of distance.
Ii is reported that a rich body or
free-milling ore has been struck in the
workings of the Wells-Fargo group IN
Blacktail guhch, belonging to the Gold
en- Reward company.

Impeeching a Mayor.

Lincoln. Neb., Special The inn
parchment trial of Mayor Graham has
begun in the city council. Every con-
tention of the defense-lack of juris-
diction, incompetency of two council
men to sit as judges and a demand
that the charges preferred be made
more specific-was in turn overruled
and the trial will now proceed. The
mayor has the satisfaction, however of
seeing four cOuI.ciimeH on his side
thus far on every test vote, and IL this
is maintained on the final vote to i'm
peach, under the two-thirds rule he
cannot be removed. The trial is ex-
pected to occupy several days and the
testimony will be sensational.
