" KEMAKKABLt , SAIL ilAOE. Two Eoads to Build Rapidly to the Black Hills. Sjwclai Dixpatch Ui riie Boe. NEW YOKK , August L'5 1 a. in. A special from Waahing.on to The Graphic sajs : It will be remembered : hit la.it winter when Spotted Tail , [ led Cloud and other Sioux chiefs were here one C. Cook , attorney fur the Northwestern railroad , made an unsuccessful attempt to negotiate with the Indians for the right of way across their reservation from Ft. Pierre to the Black mils The chiefs de manded 10,000 head of cattle , which , after a ueod deal of talk , was ivjt cted by the road , with no intention , how ever , of abandoning the enterprise. They , at length , succeeded in secur ing the rii-ht of way desired for a money consideration , and it has bctn approved by the interior depirtment rather reluctantly. There lias been an intense rivalry between the Mil waukee & St. Paul road und the Chicago & Northwestern to secure a line thtough to the Black Hills , and so persistent have they been , that now both have secured the concession from the Indian and there will now , no doubt , be the fastest exhibition of track laying , m the race to the Hills , ever witnessed in this country.
