Show ti mm CORPSJ FIELD The Burlington has two corps of surveyors in the field, both headed toward I'tnh. Both parties arc following the Hill Iiollcy in making no unnecessary noise about what they are doing or wbere they are headed for. The Information Informa-tion comes from a man close to high ofllcers of Hill Interests and cannot le questioned. One of these parties Is working west from Gurusey. Wo., and is fallowing in part a survey made several years ago. In fact, the pres ent survey is a final suivev of at least a large puxl of the old survev, with possible changes In some' of the loitte. From time to time, in the last three or four years, It has bee a said that the Salt Lake & Ogden was bjt the opening wedge for a new railroad rail-road to enter this city from the north, and, just as often, it has been announced an-nounced by Simon Bamberger, prerl- dent and principal owner of that road, that .such was not the case, that ht? had built the road and Intended to operate It. It is known, however, that Senator Bamberger would part with his road : if he could get the price which he thinks It is worth. One of tho old ; surveys, which Is now being followed by the Burlington surveyors, was : through Ogden canyon and thence to this city. Another part of the survey sur-vey was through Blacksmith Fork canyon in Cache county. Civil engineers en-gineers have declared that either would tap a rich country. Th? other survey, which Is now being be-ing made by the Burlington people, it- west of Grand Junction, Colo., tlie present western teimlnal of the Colorado Colo-rado Midland, a majority of the stock of which is owned bv the Hill Interests. Inter-ests. It is said that this latter sm-vey sm-vey parallels for manj miles through eastern Utah the survey of the Denver, Den-ver, Northwestern & Pacific, the Moffat road, nnd that It will reach i Salt Fake City by the mo-t direct rc.:te possible, at the same time tapping tap-ping a rich mining and agricultural j country. i |
