RAILROAD NEWS OF THE WEEK
Great Northern to Build Priest

The Spokane papers have finally got
Ten onto the fact, previously published
lHE MINER, that the Great Northern 10
back of the survey at present being
made to connect Priest Lake with the
main line OF the railroad at Priest River
FOR several years there has been talk of
railroad to the lake, but all the pro-
Jects have been very much on the 'hot
air. order.
Last TALL there were signs of renewed
activity along the line of the proposed
railroad. About forty men have been
engaged in making the surveys, men
who have been employed on Great
Northern work elsewhere. Higher Off
clals of the Hill road deny that the road
has any connection with the new pro-
]ect. bnt all indications point to the
connection. The work of building the
road will be done under the name of
Idaho Central, a subsidiary company of
the Great Northern.
The engineering crew at present is at
work is making some alterations on the
original survey, and making a perma-
nent survey to shorten the route. 1t is
announced, unofficialy, that construc-
ton will be started in the spring, The
Grant Smith contracting firm has un-
dertaken the development of two water
powers along the proposed route at
cost OF $S40, 900, and it is likely that the
same company will get the job of build
ing the railroad.
Practically all of the road will be in
the kaniksu National Forest. The
principal revenue of the road will be
from the timber tonnage. as much of
the timber in the Forest is now ma
tured and ready for sale. Summer tour
ist travel will also be quite an item, and
ultimately the developmentof the Priest
Lake mining country is expected to be
the chief source of revenue.
According to latest reports of the work
being done by the surveyors the line
will leave the main line of the Great
Northern about mile east of Priest
River and follow the river to the lake, a

ordered and will be delivered earlv in
the spring. Also 100 box cars and 100

ness III both passenger and freight de-
partments, and the officials expect a
large increase in business when spring
opens up. When the new engines ar
rive the motive power of the road will
include the following: Four passenger
engines, two logging shays and seven
freight engines.

Orellle river at the lower end of Box
Canyon by the Metaline extension Of

total weight of the steel for the new
bridge is 1900 tons. There will be one
span of 260 feet, with smaller span ap-
proaches on each side The bridge will
be about 80 feet above high water mark
The grade on the Metaline extension
IS completed as far as the lower end of
Box Canvon, and the steel to that place
will be laid as early as possible in the
spring, so that freight for Metalne and
the building of the remainder of the ex-
tension can be handled by the steamer
