things forward as fast as practicable.
The construction is under charge Of Mr..

Meade.
The reason for Surveying the three dif-
ferent routes was in order to secure the
best practicable line across the Palarm
Mountain, a very considerable ridge that
lies immediately across the route. But
by indctatigable labor the Engineers have
succeeded IN establishing very good
line, and one that may be built ON quite
reasonable TERMS ..a.i 1a .I, :.
The construction Of the first 90 miles
is being pushed forward by the company
as rapidly as possible. Sixty laborers are
at present employed in clearing the way
100 feet wide. About ten miles is clear.
cd and ready for the grading General
Meade informs us that the clearing will
be completed before the grading is un
dertaken. Mr.. Dcnckla, who has general
supervision Of the enterprise, hopes 70
