BURLTNGTON's EXTENSIONS.
Five Hundred Miles of Them to Be
Built Within Three Years.

The Chicago, Burlington X Quincy
Railroad company has plans for ex-
tensions during the next two or three
years to aggregate over five hundred
miles and to cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000, 600. This aggregate mileage
does not include a project to carry the
Guernsey line through to Salt Lake
City. but consists altogether of the
construction lines to serve local ter
ritory in Wyoming and Colorado.
At the present time the Burlington
has four railways that end abruptly in
local territories. These divisions are
the Cody extension. the Guernsey ex-
tension. the Cheyenne branch, and a
small spur running northwest from
Denver. TWO of these, the Guernsey
and the Cheyenne lines. are feeders Of
the Union Pacific. One of the main
objects of the proposed local lines to
be built by the Burlington In Wyom-
