the chances are several deep shafts will

Railroad RumOrs
Nothing has been learned OF late relat-
ing to the Great Northern coming up the
San Poll valley. but the excitement now
seems to be at the other end up near the
Canadian line in the vicinity OF Cascade
City and Grand Forks. The Bowen sur
veying party has completed Its lines from
Curiew to Midway along Kettle river, and
is now working toward Carson. which Is
just opposite the American town OF Mel
son.
As there is to be big smelter soon
erected at Grand Forks by a Mr.. Graves
this point would be a center for
the Canadian mines and those OF Repub-
lie that would be shippers. The question
now asked is. Is there a combine with
the Canadian Pacific and some American
company TO run into this districts a
srneiter Is a good thing for town as far
as a big industry is concerned, but II has
many Disadvantages that would not be
pleasing or benefit. the principal OF
which Is the fumes which are not OF a
healthy nature for residents, and are very
injurious to the timber. As the distance
from here is only thirty-lve miles, and
this at a down grade. the chances are the
ore from the Sheridan camp and many
others In this nesghborhocd would be ship
ped there As the ore II this Immediate
belt is principally OF o different treatment.
II is doubtful II a smelter would be
paying investment in Republic.
One thing is sure, II Jim Hill does not
build up the San Pol. some other railroad
Will. as this is the best grade to be had.
