Constructed

Rapid City, S. D.-That the Bur.
liagton railroad is seriously consid-
ering the purchase OF the Rapid City,
Black Hills and Western Railroad,
! known as tho Crouch line. which runs
from the Burlington HACK HILLS line
at Mystic, SO miles cast TO this city,
is intimated from the presence here
of President Macomber. of the Crouch
line; and n. 1. England of Rochester,
~. y. Mr.. England is a representa-
ttve,of the James ]. Hill, interests aud
made a careful examination of the
local line and the possibility Of its en-
tension west from Mystic into the
coal fields OF Wyoming.
This extension and the prospect OF
the near coal supply, has long been
considered by the Burlington and
other railroads and frequent rumors
of deals have been circulated. At
present the Burlington is Obliged to
bring all coal used in the Black Hills
by way of Edgemont and would make
Rapid City a coal shipping point for
tho whole of South Dakota. The
Wyoming coal fields west Of here
here have mover been tapped owing
to lack of railroad facilities.
This plan also includes the COM
pletion of the road from Pierre to
Aberdeen, owned by tho Great North
crn. another Hill road. This road is
graded but never flushed. This link
would put Rapid City on a coast to
coast line as the contemplated ex-
tension of the Crouch line into
'NWyomius, also includes extending to
the main line les Newcastle, Wyo.
