Mr.. DAY INTERVIEWED.
Tells Of the Progress Of the New
Railroad.

Railroad.
r. W. Day, who has the bridge
contracts for the Missouri River g.
Northwestern, gave out an inter-
view this week regarding the de.
tails of the work to be done by him
on the road, which gives an excel
lent idea of the magnitude of the
work to be done between here and
Mystic.
About 100000 feet of timbers
will be used in the construction of
the bridges on the road, and of that
quantity 100000 feet is being pur-
chased in Washington, and the re-
mainder, abont 100000 feet. is be-
ing ordered in the Black Hills. A
number of carloads of these timbers
have already arrived, and Mr.. Day
said the unloading and distributing
force would be kept busy from now
on getting them out of the way as
they came in.
Piles will be driven for all these
bridges where possible. and where
they can not be driven mudsills will
be put in. Black Hills timber will
be used for the piling. Mr.. Day
says a great portion of the latter
will be purchased along the right Of
way, principally from governments
land through the forest reserve sa-
perintendent.
He will have 81 new bridges 10
, build and between ten and fifteen
. old bridges to repair. His contract
requires that he complete the work
on or before August /, 1905. He
has received word from G. d.
Crouch, builder of the railroad, urg-
ing him to hasten the work as much
: as possible, as the other construc-
Y ton will follow him closely.
r There is great activity all along
e the line, Mr.. Day reports; grading
. and other camps have been estab.
> lished at frequent intervals, aud a
!, number Of new towns are being laid
out, chief among which is EIkhorn,
J taking its name from Elkhorn Placer,
: Immediately below Silver City. The
: railroad depot will be situated al
this point, which is about half q
mile from Silver City. A number Of
: saloons have already been estab,
v lished along the route and more are
: coming.
e AS soon as the railroad has bes,
4 completed, Mr.. Crouch, who ha.
Q leased the smelter here, will star
up the plant, which can easily b.
made to pay we'll wien the competi
tive freight rates have been oh
= tanned.
There are numerous quantities Of
iron ore along Rapid river, which
! will be accessible as soon as the
:, railroad is completed. Much of this
: ore carries as high as SO per cent
n iron. There is also an unlimited sup
! ply of lime stone suitable for smelt
o ing purposes. So far there has moi
