WC/IC to the Copper Range

Another Hot Air Line.

It was announced in the Copper Country Saturday that the Copper Range Railroad has closed negotiations for the entrance of the Wisconsin Central into the copper country by way of North Crandon. The Wisconsin Central, according to the statement made here by Copper Range officials, will connect with the Copper Range road at Mass City, Mich. The Wisconsin Central, according to this announcement, is the real owner of the line which is being constructed from Menasha, Wis.,
to North Crandon, supposed hitherto to be a property of the Illinois Central.

The plan announced is for the running of through trains to Chicago by way of Mass City, North Crandon, Menasha, and then over the Wisconsin Central's old line into Chicago. There had been considerable mystery over the proposed road from Menasha to North Crandon, however, and it had been reported that this section, now under construction, was to be part of a branch of the Illinois Central from Madison to Huron bay, Lake Superior.
