seems to remove the greatest doubt
of the feasibility of the undertaking.
The distance to the Summit, by
the proposed route is 100 miles from
Orting, or about $50 from New Ia
coma, but in running this distance q
deviation of 80 miles is made, the
Summit being, ina straight line, 10
miles from the former station. It is
thought that subsequent surveys
may reduce the distance travelled to
80 miles, over an equally practicable
rOute up the branch of the Puyallup
to Bear Prairie, going nearer to Mt.
Rainier, and only crossing some Of
the head waters of the Nisqually
near the mountain, in place of fol-
lowing up that valley so miles. The
descent east of the mountains is not
attended with greater difficulty. or
sleeper grades, than those Of the as
cant.
Another objection is thus met:
The rain and snow oil comes there
from the south or southwest winds,
and the clouds which bring the rain
do not condense their vapor until
they pass the snow line of the noun.
tains, or roll over on the other side
Of the slope, the railway travers-
ing below this line of condensation
until it nears the summit. A good
hope i to be found in this fact for
the stability Of the ground which is
to bear the railroad, and it concerns
tho economy of operations. During
the eighteen days Mr.. Clark was on
the Summit no snow fell, although
there were several days of heavy
rain at Tacoma during that period.
The meteorologist, he afirms will
account for this satisfactorily by one
Of the unerring laws, based upon o
simple statement of these facts.
Col. Black says that on Monorpe-
cast creek, about 80 miles from Or

coal are found, one vein being % and
the other 8 feet in thickness. He
claims that we're it impossible to
