Snecial to The Journal.

Virginia, Mimi. Jan. ga town. to be
called Pittsburg has been plated at the
head of Rice lake, on the line of the Du-
luth Virginia & Rainy Lake road, some
twelve miles north Of Virginia. 1t Is to
have two saw mills. one Of which is to be
built at once and it is to be the center Of
large logging operations for many years
to come. 1T is asserted by the projectors
that the town will have population OF at
least $500 people in a very short time.
On this railroad, which is one branch OF
the big enterprise which recently passed
into the control of Charles Ruggles and as
sociates for above IS, 00O 900. the work OF
construction northerly is progressing fast.
Up to date eighteen miles or main line
have been built. six miles Of this being
the work Of this season. and grading has
been about completed for another section.
The road runs north to the center of
township 81. range IS. southwest from
Vermilion lake. At the yards at V1r-
ginia there are now piled steel rails for
fifty-five miles of main track and other
equipment for fortyfive miles more. This
is enough to take the road to the Canadian
boundary so far as the smaller items of
equipment are concerned. and 1t is under
stood that steel for the entire length has
been bought for delivery this year and
that the management fully expects to be
q the boundary year hence.
Sixty pound rails are used and the road
bed is being soidly built. Two large
locomotives have arrived and four more
are on the way from the shops. There is
this winter large log traffic over the
completed line, part of the logs going to
the new O'Brien & Cook mills at Virginia
and part to the st. Croix river at Still
water for the 'raber Lumber company of
Iowa. There are now, in addition to the
eighteen miles Of main line, some twenty
miles Of logging spurs. These run to the
camps Of ONeal & Nelson and Donovan &
Stack. the latter logging for the Taber
company and the former for O'Brien &
Cook
Engineers are at work all along the line
north Of the terminus at Camp No. s, in
e61-1S, and the road will be at Pelican
lake, in township "a. range 20 by midsum
mer There it will tap an immense guam
tity Of pine, which is passing into the
hands Of the Ruggles interest. together
with much more further north, which
had been gathered together by W. H.
Cook president Of. the road and construc-
ton company, who is still connected with
the enterprise -
This road will open not only an immense
amount of pine timber, estima ted to be
more than 1000. 900, 900 feet but it will
also tap an enormous amount of spruce
and cedar as we'll as other woods, and
will give access to very large and fer
tile agricultural district.
