ARRIVAL OF LIEUT.. BEcRwITH THE OVER
LAND SURVEYING PARTY.-On Thursday evening,
August g. says The Sacramento Uaioa, Lieut.. Beck
with Of the Overland Surveying Party, arrived IN
this city from Salt Lake City via the Humboldt and
Fort Reading having left the former place on the
9th Of May and the latter on Tuesday last. Lieut.
Beokwiih with his assistant surveyors and attaches to
the corps consisting in all of sixty souls arrived at
the Great Salt Lake City IN November 1888. In
April of the present year, the Lieutenant with hls
pafy went eastward again. as far as the Green River,
on surveying tour On the 9th of May, the com
pany left Salt Lake, and struck OIL due westward
some forty miles to the sOuthward Of the eyularly
Travelled California trail. About seventy-fye miles
this side of the valley, the party came upon solid
granite boulder or HILL some fifteen eighteen hun
dred feet in hight in which was found clear cool
spring OF water.
After leaving this point, they journeyed directly
10 ne Humboldt, which they reached in about two
weeks being delayed day or so In removing obstruc
tons from the road. AL along the Humboldt there is
the most feasible route imaginable for railroad,
and according Lieut. Beckwith statement, surveys
would be almost superluous All the way from Salt
Lake to California the party found an abundance of
Rrass and water for their cattle and stock, which
arrived at Fort Reading in good condition. The
Lieutenant informs that with his present knowledge
of the country he could lay out road from CafOr.
MIA TO the Great Salt Lake Valley at least one hundred
and fifty miles than any heretofore travelled
with an abundance of wood, water and grass along
the entire route, and be would insure the traveller
freedom from all annoyance of insects, except per-
haps while crossing Marys River.
Af,er leaving the Humboldt the party Of Lieut.
Beckwith struck off to the norhward 10 the Sierra
Nevada No less than FIVE different passes were ex.
amined in this range with direct reference to their
feasibility for the line Of the Pacific Railroad All of
these lie TO the northward of Mobiles Pass except the
latter which Is inclnded in the number of those ex.
amined After careful surveys all of the above
routes are pronounced TO be impractcsble with the
exception of Mobiles Pass, and the first north of
it, OF the superiority of these two Lieut. Beckwiih
as yet unprepared 60 express any opinion, but he
uphestatingly declares that none of the passes OK
cep Mobiles and that adjoining, can be adapted
10 the passage of railroad. In this report TO be
submitted TO the Secretary of War Immediately after
his arrival at Washington accurate details Of the
veys Of these various passes, together with all parc-
uars connected with the topography aud geography
oftbe country examined, win BE furnished
Lieut.. Beckwith furthermore informs US that the
greatest difficulties of the contemplated route for a
railroad to be encountered in the foot hills of
the Sierra Nevada, that but for these there would
scarcely be any serious impedments 20 the consrue-
ton of the road. lieut. h. also says that the stream
usually termed Pitt River in the upper part Of this
valley resy the Sacramento and that al the point
where he struck Whist is known generally as the
Sacramento he could easily leap from one TO The other
bank The stock and other effects Of the party were
sold at Shasta by Lieut. b and brought good prices
being purchased by ranchmen, miners and others.
The amount received for this property was in the
neighborhood Of $4,000.
Lieut. Morris, of the escort who accompanied the
surveying party, and who announced by US as
having arrived in town some days ago has returned
70 Fort Reading, for the purpose ef turning over the
