the men and Immediately set to work
The snow was six feet deep, and we had
only alittle piece Of board 10 dig with,
and the cold was 50 great that none could
work very long before his hands became
perfectly rigid. AGer good deal Of hard
digging we found a pair Of boots, which
were recognized by the men ms Preston's s.
This urged usto renewed exertions; AT
length we cleared the snow from por-
ton Of his buffalo robe, and lifting II up
we got sight Of the poor fellows face; he
cried out in d weak voices. begging us for
God sake not to leave him to dies We
assured him we would not forsake him;
and again covered his face until 1--we could
remove more ofthe snow; having dug as
far as his waist, FIVE men caught hold of
him to drag him out, but the snow had
been moist and was packed very hard, and
he was held tight by the tent, which had
been broken down by the pressure Of the
snow; however, we dug little more I'M
til we could get at the ridge-pole Of the
tent, which we cut in two with our axes.
We now drew Preston on. Of the drift,
which had liked to have proved his grave.
His bed fellow, who had been much weak
ened by sickness, was already dead; he
was the man whom we had dragged from
Jackson's Grove 10 Pawnee Fork; where
he had been picked up by Mr.. Brown,
since which time he had been recovering
fast. Poor fellow! it was his destiny to
leave his bones On the desert prairies,
where wolves howl his requiem. caus-
ed the men to dig him also out Of the drift,
and to put his body into wagon, in or
der that we might bury him at the Cot
ton-wood Fork. .ia2s #%
Several mules had already been frozen
to death. As we proceeded, mules that
had started off in apparently good condi-
ton, would drop down in the harness, and
their limbs would become perfectly rigid.
Even one of the oxen dropped down per-
fectly benumed with cold. In few hours
we lost six mules and one OK, so that our
road was marked with dying animals
las we approached our destined camp
ground, we saw wolf that was so badly
frozen as 10 be unable to move. One Of
the men put an end to his sufferings bya
bullet from his rife. 81 .....r 49,.

GENERAL REMARKS. ~,
The total distance of the route, as examin-
ed, is 1875 miles and 5248 feet. RAJ
There is no doubt that the route can be es-
sentially shortened by future examinations,
and perhaps be improved in many places; all
of which will tend reduce the cstimat ted cost.
Like all estimates made in this stage of the
work the one here presented must be regarded
as only an approximation towards accuracy,
though have endeavored not to fall into the
too common error of making it too low.
1t should not be forgotten, that, although
the face of the country along the route is gem
orally favorable for n RAILROAD, the direction
ofrtbis route is unfrvorable, in as much as il
crosses the principal DRAWINGS of the country.
Notwithstanding all this, it will be seen from
the estimates, that the work is not only prac-
ticable, but quite feasible.
