POXPIRY'B PILLAR it
to
To Have the Branch oad to hav
the oal Mines Instead The
of Billings. bou
_iot
We learn to-day, from official sources
that the long expected and much
talked of branch to the coal mines in
the Bull mountains, is to start from a
I point about to miles east of Pompey's
Pillar and so miles west of Junction
City. The surveyors arrived at the 1
starting point on Sunday evening's in
train and the cross-section survey be iM
gan Monday morning (the route hav- po1
ing been surveyed some time ago.) t,
The line will be Zg miles long, and tah
finished I:fore New Years. Grading w
will be commenced at once. Ih
Just what influence has been at work l,h
to change the route of this proposed al
line, no one seems to know. Billings
has expected and worked hard to sa
secure this branch; has been repeatedly wi
erfcouraged in the belief that it wou'd ti
gotrom that point, but she will have to "
get along without it as an add:tional fr
boom. h1
Real estate men and property holders I
feel greatly disappointed and even dis- I
c muraged. iu
The branch in starting from this t
point when extended, will tap the most
pro tuct.ve port:on of the country s
between the Yellowstone and Missouri
valleys. and will pass through Mag:nnis a
r an I Maiden, en route to Benton.
\Ve nee I not expect the r3a I to
T. reach us carl er than two years, as the
object in viev now, is to get coal.
