Mitchell Blunt Railroad Route Shows Steady Growth
Farmers along the proposed Mitchell to Blunt line report over 100000 raised to fund the railroad with plans to extend to Pierre. Promoters, backed by C. Fraser and J. C. Thull, seek support from Mitchell, Pierre, and Blunt officials for a delegate convention on March 22. The project would reuse the Aberden and Black Hills old grade and attract Midwaykee or Northwestern builders. A separate note reports miner George H. Lane, 40, died after a fall at Homestake Mine leaving a wife and five children.
