There Ui goo»l h to believe that the Great Northern will soon be extended from Butte to Anaconda. It in somewhat remarkable that it has not been done long aince. Anaconda is one of it* best supporters, and to stop it* train* twenty-eight miles from the place shows that there has been Influence uaed to keep the terminus at Butte. However, the Butte people an* entitled to credit in looking out for themselves.The Butte Inter Mountain says: It isreported that a Butte man, Mr. William Winters, of the a ell-known firm of Winters A Parsons, has just dlt;jaed a contract for one of the biggest pieces of railroad work to be done in the northwest the coming year, being the driving of the big tunnel on the Great Northern line through the range thirty miles above Flathead lake. The length of the tunnel * is under«b»od to be about one thousand feet, and the contract price is something less than $100,000. It is to be comph*ted before the close of 1801, and the GreatNorthern expects to be running trams through it by that time.
