Latest From Cham mberlaln.

Work has finally been initiated all
along the line in connection with the
crossing over the Missouri River here
for the extension to the Black Hills of
the Milwaukee company. The founda-
ton has been placed and the keel plates
laid for the big $50 by 40foot boat to be
used as draw in the river. Trainloads
of material are convenient to the scene
of operations, the material being taken
from the railroad yards to the river
bank over a tramway, which crosses a
deep ravine and American creek. The
boat lies on ways on a bank about TWEEN.
ty feet above the river. The piledrivers
have driven the piling for the trestle
from the island opposite the city down
over sandbar of 200 feet, and this even
ing have reached the edge of the main
channel. The work is being done from
the island eastward.
Some difficulty has been encountered
in striking river bottom at the desired
point where the chalk rock in the river
bed is not covered with too heavy a
layer of gravel, as the gravel is not con-
sidered to be safe from the action of the
water. The piling will be set firmly in
chalk rock, and where necessary the
forty foot piling will be spliced. There
has yet been no material arriving for the
railroad construction west of the river,
but this will arrive shortly and be trans
ferred to the west bank Of the river by
the fleet OF boats Of the Chamberlain
Pontoon Bridge company, operating n
the river here. There are four of these
boats, two of good size and capable OF
handling objects Of considerable ton
mage.
There are probably 800 men at work
at present on the various features Of the
work OF extension here. Chamberlain
