From the Railroads.

The Northwestern Railroad have fin
ished grading their new line between
New Ulm and Mankato last week and
with the exception of the small bridge
which will soon be erected will be ready
to lay steel.
II At their yards here several cars have
pean arranged and fitted up as dining
and sleeping cars for the men who will
lay the track. About 100 men will be
employed and they will be here in q
few days to commence the work. The
track-laying will be done by machine
and as the material is all on the ground
most of the work will be finished in
about month and the surfacing and
leveling will take a few weeks longer.
The Northwestern expects to have the
road finished and run their trains over
, this line before the end of this year.
Work on the M. s. St. l.. extension to
Omaha from here is also progressing
: rapidly. The delay was caused by the
nasonwork on the large bridge over the
! Big Cottonwood river, which, however,
as finished Monday and the bridge
/ oper will be finished by tonight. Yes
I yerday track-laying was commenced
from the old track and over the bridge,
and by the end of the week same will be
finished to the other side of the river.
Directly across the river the road is to
cross deep ravine and this will have to
be filled in.
A side-track will be put in across the
river and steam shovel put to work
and together with a work train will have
that part graded in about month if
weather permits. By that time all the
grading along the line will be complet-
ed and track-laying commenced. The
st. Louis expects to have most of the
work done by January lst. A little de-
llay may be caused by the material not
arriving in time as the concerns furnish :
ing the rails are behind on their orders.
There is however material uistributed
along the line for about so miles and
part of this is laid already.
The old bridge over the Minnesota
river on the NJ. & St. L. is being re-
placed by steel bridge, lhe material
for which has all arrived and work on
same has been practically commenced.
