paper prints the following : It is
tatod by well-posted inelders that
nittera of grave Importance are brow-
tig in the management of the Chi-

About six weeks ago S , S. Merrill ,
; onoral manager of the line , with
nembora of hla family and several
rionde , nmong them certain walt-
) ostod eastern capitalists , started from
Allwankeo in a special car for San

inly returned laet week. In an inter
view with a Herald correspondent Mr.
tlerrlll onld that ho returned well
ilcnsed with the west and its grand
resources , It is now learned that
here la llttlo doubt that the pnrposo
of Merrills visit to the wont , and par-
icularly to California , waa the build-
tig , or rather extension , of the Chicago
cage , Milwaukee & St Paul to Sin

cific California routes. It laknowntbat
hia road ia now engaged in extending
heir line to Djadwood and track la
aid to Chamberlain , D I' . It would
ako little moro to build it on to the
Pacific coast. It la stated that Mer-
111 , while wojt , examined the country
o see where the best paying route
* rom Diadwood west could bo located ,
and that ho canvassed the chancea for
such an extension among weal-
em railway men. Ho is said
, o have consulted , whllo lu

Ihero are tald to bo several big eastern
