DEAL FOR RAPIDS SHELTER
Starts Anew the Talk That the Bur
Hngton viii Build.


RAPID CITY, s. D.-The report Of the in
tended purchase of the National smelter here
by the Horseshoe Mining company of Dead
wood, has started anew the talk of the Bur-
lington building to this city. It has been
asserted several times that the Burlington
was looking this way, and it is known that
negotiations We're in progress at one time
for. the purchase by that company of the old
Dakota & Wyoming right of way along Rapid
creek. The latter company started to build
at two different times and some three or four
years ago did several miles Of grading.
Such line would connect Rapid City with
Mystic, a station on the Burlington's main
line through the Black Hills, the distance
between the two points being about thirty
miles. s,it s.& ttE
The cyanide and chlorinatfon plant of the
Horseshoe company at Pluma, in Lawrence
county, as well as most of that company IS
mines, are on the Burlington, and 1t has
done most OF its business with the Burling-
ton, which strengthens the belief that the
Burlington would find Rapid City desirable
point to reach In the event the change Of
ownership of the big smeter takes place.
."The building OF the Mystic Rapid City line
would place Rapid City in direct communi-
cation with Denver and other Colorado. west
ern Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana points,
and IT would at the same time open a sec
tion of the Hills that has been isolated and
Is rich in mineral resources. 1t would make
Denver several hours nearer than the cities
that now control the trade of Rapid City.
