A Connection of The DSS&A

On Tuesday the first train over the Duluth & Iron Range rail-
road entered Duluth. This line connects <he Vermillion ore fields
with what will be the terminus of The DSS&A, and will make easy
communication between the are fields of the upper peninsula and the
new fields. Then, too, a new company has just been organized for
the purpose of building a road from some point on the Iron Range
between Two Harbors and Tower to a connection with the CPR, the
odject being to develop iron interests and the country generally
north and east of Tower along the extension of the Iron Range R. R.
The organization is separate and distinct from the Iron Range R. R.,
but will act in harmony with the latter. The main line will be
built, however, and at an early date, together with branches. The
incorporators of the new company are: S. P. Hly of Cleveland, Geo.
C. Stone of St. Paul, GC. Tower, Jr., Re Lee, A. F. Thompson, Ae
H. Viele, L. P. Beck and W. B. Dixon of Duluth. At the Canadian
line this road will connect with the Canadian Pacific, bringing Du-
luth into all rail connection with Port Arthur and other Canadian

points.
