New York, August l5-General Rosscr,
in charge OF the railroad survey OF the
Stanley Yellowstone expedition, has SUBJ
mitted to the authorities OF the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company in this city his
official report of the results thus far accom-
plished by the expedition. He finds the
new and final route across Western Dakota.
from Missouri to the Yellowstone river, 10 be
entirely practicable and satisfactory; shorter
than expected and the gradients moderate;
the plumber OF bridges in the two hundred
and five miles Is reduced two-,hirds-only
one instead of eleven being required on the
Little Missouri river.
With few exceptions the country is rolling
prairie, sometimes rising In low hills; the
grass Is excellent and the soil good. Good
water was found the entire distance. The
report states that the main body Of General
Stanley's expedition, the press correspond
ents, and the scientific corps, did not accom-
pany the engineers, but followed the old
abandoned route south Of Heart river, hence
the description of the region trayersed by
the train command does not apply to the
country traversed by the new route for the
railroad.
The directors have accepted the new line
recommended by General Rosser from B.s.
marck, the present end Of the track, TO the
Yellowstone crossing. Proposals for grading,
ETC., has been invited.
The expedition is now prosecuting the sur
vey up the left bank of the Yellowstone to
Pompey's Pillar, where it will join the sur.
vey made last year from the west, and thus
complete the survey of the line across the
continent. The entire command is expected
to return to Fort Rice about October 1st.
