robbers held up the transcontinenta1
express on the Canadian Pacific rail-
road at Mission Junction, B. c., and Sc
cured booty amounting to $4,000. They
escaped to the, timber and crossed the
Frazer river into American territory.
Engineer Scott had just pulled his
train out from Mission Junction and was
getting up steam to make up a little
time he had lost, when a pistol was
pressed against the middle of his back
and he was ordered to stop the train.
Looking back, he saw his fireman COW
cred by pistols in the hands of two

As soon as the train was stopped the
engineer was taken back by two Of
the men and forced to uncouple the
baggage and express cars, which were
next the engine. e.:

train crew were being held up by a

soon as the express car was free the
cars were pulled ahead about ten miles
to a point past Silverdale, where the
express messenger, Herbert Mitchell,
was ordered to open the doors Of his
car. -.
Ready to Dynamite.
He refused to do SO, and the ban
dts produced several sticks of dyna-
mite. Mitchell saw that it was no use
to put up a fight, SO he surrendered the
car. He was then compelled to open
the safe, from which the men secured
between $4,000 and $4,000 in gold dust
and about $1,000 in currency.

Hancock, Mich, Sept. 12.--Despite
denials from headquarters it is still
firmly believed that the Milwaukee
road intends to extend it's Wisconsin
Valley branch from Star Lake to CON
Ontonagon. The Vale division is now
being extended fourteen miles. This
move coupled with the recent organi-
cation of the Ontonagon & Southwest
ern road to build southwest is deemed
significant.
". E. Tyler, a Milwaukee Official,
is director of the new corporation,
and this is believed to indicate that
| the Ontonagon & Southwestern. will be
part of the Milwaukee system. A line
connecting Star Lake and Ontonagon
would give the Milwaukee a short line
to the copper country from all points
west of Milwaukee, with a lake port
at Ontonagon.
Eventually, it is believed, the Mil
Range road running from Mass City to
Calumet. 1t is understood the Copper
Range interests value their property at
from $4,5OO,0OO to $5,000,000. The
Milwaukee track from Charming to
Mass City is being graveled and be-
tween Mass City and Ontonagon, Gin
ders are being used. The new bridge
|
gon will be begun at once:
The Wisconsin & Michigan road has
been engaged all summer in important
construction work on the Menominee
iron range and is credited with intend
ing to push to Lake Superior and to
tad a virgin country on the Wisconsin
side Of the border line. The road han
dies iron ore from the range, transfer
ring it's trains from Peshtigo to South
Chicago by car ferry. Its timber traf
fc is already important and is. destined
to enlarge materially.
Other construction work under way
in the north country is that of tht
Manistiuue and the NIunising roads
The latter is branch Of the Cleveland
Cliffs Iron company's system, and the
former, standard gage logging roat
, running south from Grand Marais ane
: cutting the South Shore at Seney. L
is being extended four or five miles to
: ward the 500 line. The Munising roat
is being extended easterly seven mile
! toward Sault Ste Marie. The company
owns 100000 acres of land in nppe
Michigan. Thru this the Munisini
read would extend if pushed to tn
;, 500.
A preliminary survey for railroa

Sioux City, Iowa, Sept. 12.-That the
Milwaukee railroad will build a Pacific
coast extension has; at last been adj
mitted by a high official Of that com
pany, who further reveals the tact that
S. D., to Seattle and Portland; In fact,
the only complete survey made by that
railroad runs from Chamberlain. Re
ports that a line had been surveyed
from Evarts, s. D., are erroneous. Mil
waukee engineers went over the coun-
try from Evarts for a provisional re-
port, but no line was run from that
lively impracticable.
The report the past week that John 7.
Woodward, president OF the Hanover
National bank of New York, Hanover
institution, had taken deeds to Seattle,
Tacoma and Portland terminal proper
road, was the occasion of admission of
this company's plans; for a coast line.
! The Milwaukee official referred to,
Whose. position gives him access to con-
]struction plans when asked concerning
this report, stated frankly that Mr..
Woodward held such deeds, as. this was
matter Of record, but added that no
of directors of the Milwaukee railroad
was authorized to state it's interest in
the matter.
| ii Within Five Years.
The official did say, however, that
1t is the purpose Of the road to build
a coast line. When asked when such
extension might be looked for, he said
the building would be completed in a
shorter time than the road had taken
in making surveys thru Wyoming, Ida
ho, Montana and Washington.
Asked how long these surveys had
been going on, the official said for more
than five years.
Concerning the terminus from which
the extension would start, he said there
were but two points on the Missouri
river from which the line could be
built, one at Chamberlain and the other
at ,Evarts.., - -
+ Concerning a choice between these
two termini, the official said: ''That
would, be, giving Information that VIZ
do not care to disclose, at this time.
'But,' he continued, turning to {
map, "any one looking at the empire
untouched by any railroad that wou!t
be cut by a line from Chamberlail
thru. to the: northwest ought to hav,
imagination enough to make goot
guess, as to the best field for rail
road line.' ~
It was further stated that defnit
information might be given out afte
