Longest Bridge In Montana.

BUTTE March 20. Few people
here are aware of the immense under.
taking OF the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railway company in laying
their line across the marshy fiat just
south Of Butte, but a visit down there
cannot fail of great interest. Extend
ing out almost as far as the eye can
reach are the long lines Of piles that
will support the tracks. When com.
pleted two months hence, this will be
the longest bridge in Montana. 1t
was made necessary because Of the
character of the ground, and the de.
sire 10 give the Milwaukee an over
head crossing over the Northern Pa.
cifc and other tracks there. The
bridge will be 5000 feet or more than
a half mile in length: it will cost $780,
600 when finished: the piling is now
done, except for the driving of about
80 piles, and reaches on a southeast
erly line from the back of the Centen-
NAL brewery. The bridge is Ave piles
wide and will contain SOC, 900 feet
board measure, outside of the piling.
This gives but a small idea of the
amount of work that has been done,
and all done during the stress of cold
weather.
But this bridge il only one of four
teen that are being built between
Butte and the tunnel through the Con-
tinental divide at Summit, 13 miles
away. This tunnel is being driven
through under the direction of Thos.
Bryant. Tee approach on this side is
along the head waters of Black Tail
creek and the bore is now about 100
feet. This tunnel will be 1850 feet
long. There will be two other tunnels
this side of it, one 1,24O and the other
800 feet. Work has been started on
the other side of the summit tunnel.
10 making the approach there a 400
foot tunnel through a big point in Fish
creek canyon has been found neces.
sary.
In one cut the other side of the
Continental divide, it is reported one
contractors opened up q lead of ore
which assayed $35 to the ton. This is
at a point % miles from Butte. 1t is
also stated that one of the locating
engineers by the name of Schaefer
made another strike about 1000 feet
from the right of way and staked GU,
a claim, which he will work in the
near future.
It is estimated it will take about Is
months to finish the long Summit tun.

Palace Cars For Horses,

CHICAGO, March 2O.-Travel by rail
will soon be as luxurious for horses
as for their owners. The New York
Central lines have just ordered twenty
cars to be used exclusively for the
transportation of valuable horses.
Each car will be lighted by electricity
and heated by steam. The cars will
be much longer than those now used
orr this service, and will be equipped
with everything conducive to the com.
fort and safety Of the aristocratic
equines that can indulge in the luxury
OF private cars.
1--WE are ordering cars lighted by
electricity and heated by steam for
horses because experience has taught
US that such ears will prove the cheap.

an Official of the big four line. "If q
horse worth $500 catches pneumonia

dition to those which are used for rae.

horses are shipped every year to Chi
cago, New York, Cincinnati, and other
large cities.
Ut is not uncommon for million.
aires to ship their horses every winter
from Chicago to New York and CAL

spring. The owners do not object to
paying the extra rate charged for the
special cars for horses, but they let
US hear from them if anything happens
to the horses because the cars are not
all they should be. The cars which
have just been ordered for the New

GARY HAS USUAL
DEPOT PROBLEM
At Present Railroad Off
Gals are Quibbling Over
Who Will Foot Bills.
THIS SOON TO Be DECIDED
expected Corporations Who Must
Build Stations Jointly, VIII
Soon Come to Terms

- LIKE county Times.)
y ma, Oct. 1.-THE city Of
1ary has a depot problem just as the
o'ner cities Of the Calumet region bnt
unlike them the problem is likely -
De solved In the near future and win
DC soived In a way that will be enin-
Gary. q
AT present there is the usual outb-
oaihg going on between the officials
oI the Lake Shore and Michigan
southern railroad and those of the
baltimore and Ohio railroad regarding
the division of the cost of a union sta
ton '--''' a
The Baltimore and Ohio people are
Oh the opinion that because of the
greater amount of passenger traffic
enjoyed by the Lake Shore that If
should stand at least two-thirds of
the cost OF the building. The Lake
Shore people, on the other hand think
mat If the other railroad has the
equal use of the building it should nav
at least half of the cost.
AT present the matter is in a dead
lock and it appears that neither rail
road will bulge from the position
which it has taken. However. the
cost OF building independent depots
ana maintaining them, especially when
they would have to be built within
a few hundred feet Of each other
must appear to be a very poor business
proposition TO the officials of the two
companies, and as soon as they have
exhausted their resources in trying to
buHaio' each other, it is believed they
will get together.
In the case of the Gary and Western
railroad, an agreement has already
been reached with the Michigan Cen
trail road, which parallels it through
cary to build a union station.
The Gary and Western is to be ele
waited while the Michigan Central will
run through the city at grade and 1t
would appear that it would be diff
'ult to make one depot serve for both
Dads, but 1T is said that the engineers
nave overcome the problems that at
irst were presented and that the depot |
will soon be built
The Pennsylvania railroad Is not ex- |
'ected to elevate, but its depot faciM- |
les are already fair, considering It's |
distance from the city, and Improve
nents are sure to be made in the fu- /
ure
