And this chain of ron," leading TO all the prominent
Atlantic cities. would connect with the contemplated iron
highway California and Oregon via the valley Of the
Platte at Council Bluffs.
From the South bend of Lake Michigan Fort Brijger,
in Utah Territory distance OF $50 miles. the line in
Dictated would not defect than toyty miles from
due west course.
To reach the great basin a, Utah Lake from For,
Brdger the road, recommended by Captain Stansbury,
should follow up the valley OF Blacks fork, thence
to Bear river and follow that stream up until il APP
proaches the head of of the branches OF Weber
thence Weber, and follow the valley Of Weber
to Camas prairie thence the prairie TO the Tmpa
aogos and descend the latter river 10 Utah Lake,
That perfectly practicable route for the line OF rail-
road exists the trace mentioned, from Fort Bridger
to Utah Lake. without resortng 10 Inclined planes,
terrain no doubt, and when the level of the basin
is attained the road either north or SOUTH appears be
open"
We have trust, succeeded in tracing practicable
route for an iron highway from Council Bluffs to Utah
Lake and only remains to indicate the residue of the
route to Wal "a Pass IN the Sierra Nevada latitude
IS deg 2 ul.4. Jngitule lis deg. 80 min. west.
Tia 0 practicable pass for railroad exists in the
Sierra Nevada north of Walkers Pass, is, we believe
now generally conceded and therefore, in projecting an
available line the Pacific, either on a northern or
southern trace only reach The Pacific by the pass
mentioned.
The route we advocate should follow the Waksa,ch
cham, from Ulah Lake, s0uhWtNWard tTaveTtlng The
Mormon settlements TO Los Vegas de Santa Clara, and
thence still continuing southwest course uat it reached
the line of Senator OWNS road, latitude 35 deg 80
min, which point il would to the and con
nue west course through Walkers Pass the valley
of the San joaquin.
The poin, Of junction would be some two degrees of
longitude east OF the pass
Or If that portion OF the great basin lying between the
southwestern extremity OF Utah Lake and Walkers
Pass should after careful reconnaissance, be found
not wholly sterile, probably would be preferable 10
the basin al the head Of Utah Lake. and unite with
Senator OWNS road at the mouth of Walkers

The distance from Utah Lake 10 Walkers Pass is less
than 500 miles Utah Lake is in latitude 10 deg longi.

Of the entire praccability of constructing an iron high

doubt need be entertained With reference to its utility
and necessity, AN fully satisfied and that the national
legislature will at an early day make the necessary pro.
