Xew York, Dec 10. Official color is
given to the statement that the Mil
waukee railroad will build not only the
through line to Uie Pacific coai-t but
alo wpurj and branches aggregating
ever 1500 niilea additional to the 1700
mile of main line West of the Missouri
liver. The entire plan, a far as agreed
upon, will cost eonriderably over $100,
000.000. The moving spirit in the exten-ion is

Sir. Earling. It is owing largely to his ,
determination and peraneiice in the.
face of come stubborn opposition that
the directors of the Milwaukee have at
last agreed to tbe plan of a Pacific ex
tension. He haa been backed by Mr.
McKenna, bis chief lieutenant in the ad
ministration of tbe present line of the
Milwaukee road. These two persisted
in their request for continuous surveys
carefully checked over the several routes
suggested by the surveyors, and invea
tigated the expedience of each division
before the plan reached the executive
board, but a very short time ago. In
no section of the rued there were fif
teen alternative surveys, aJl difficult,
but all practicable. Tbe selection has
been narrowed down to two, either of
which may be taken, according to co-t
estimates. "
There are no difficulties in the con
struction of the lines through South
Dakota.' They. will run the entire dis
tanos to the foohills of the. Black Hills
without any perceptible grade, and will
be eafeily built and equipped. At $25,000

line will touch Rapid City, in the east-
em part of tlie range, and bend North
to Deadwood. Tihe two line of the St.
Paul, from Kvarts and from Chamber
lain, will probably nwet at P.apid City.
West of the Black Hills there is a
action of about 00 miles in which
the right-of-way will cross seven big
rivers and a count1e number of small
mountain streams, flowing Xorth. This
section includes the crossing of the Big
Horn and Shoshone ranges, though
neither ia claimed to present any won
derful difficulties in the ay of en
gineering. There nothing here! to
compare with the Denver 1 Rio Grande
right-of-way aero We.-Urn Colorado.
The principal expense will lie. bridging,
uid tlie need of high trestles to eros
mountain stream, whiuh always pres
ent difficulties because of their strong
current in the t-pring month. The
amount of comrete niaoiiry and fcteel
bridging required in thi division will
be the big bill.
The hardest con.tnietion on an open
track will lie through the Southern ex-
tension if the Bitter Root niouuUiins.
It will be eiw-ed on a comparatively
easy grade, in open cuttings, and by a
twisted route much like she right-of-
way of the Great Northern and the Ca
nadian Pacific through similar regions.
There will be plenty of curve-, though
none of them will be severe. The en
gineer's specifications call for a maxi
mum curvature Ws than that of the
Great Northern through tbe mountains,
and even below that adopted as stand'
ard for the Western Pacific. This sec
tion of the route, however, will prob
ably cost well over $85,000 per mile.
From the Western slope of the
mountains to tbe Cascades the route
is not difficult, and lies through a very
rk-h section. The resources of that re
tion are as vet barely Uiuobed. The
plans of a several-year-old line to build
from Salmon City to Butte have been
laid before the management severaj dif
ferent times, for purchase, but it is not
known whether or not the plan has
been taken into account. In any event
Butte will I either on the main line
of the Milwaukee or reached by a good
short branch.
