CARBON MOOR, June 5-Mr. Moscrip,
chief Of the party now making surveys tor
the U. s. N. r. X. route, informs US that
he IL now making at thus place final, or
permanent, survey. The line will run
through Railroad Pass " directly opposite
Carbon Moor-situated about oue-half mile
mile south OF Mulian Pass and one mile
north of Priest Pass. The line touches tbs
mines of Hobart, Barton & Horr. The
pass will require tunnel about 2,OOO feet
long. This route will lead the road to

"AND NOW You DON'T SEE IT."
Independent, 9TH.
We had pleasant call from Col. Wash
ington Dunn, Oh the Utah Northern, on
his return irum Priests Pass. A careful
SUI vsy uf the Pass revealed the TACT that,
while admirably adapted for toll road, IL
would be- imponsb bic 10 obtain grade over
II suitable for . railroad Col. Dunn states
that, in order 10 run railroad through the
Priest Pass, considerable tunnel would
De necessary, and that the tunnel would be
much more expansive than that contempla-
ted by the Northern Pacific through the
Muilan Pass. lie regards the Mulian Pass
AZ the more feas bic Of the two, ~ the tun-
mel through IL would not much exceed
quarter OF mile. Col. Dunn IL satisfied
IRON the surveys that have been made that
the route by way Of Butte and Deer Lodge
City TO Helena will not be feasible. In adj
ditlon ~ the expense of the tunnel the road
k.r th..,. Ia
! TEN plated route to this city by way of
Grow Greek and the Missouri river. As
the projectors Of the Utah Northern have
abandoned their pu' pvse to run line to
the Pacific, he does not believe 1t would be
good policy to Incur the additional expense
incident to q round about course through
Deer Lodge, involving the expense Of twice
crossing the Rocky Mountain range. The
great competitor OF the Utah Northern,
until the further advancement OF the North
ern Pacific, will be the Missouri river.
Natu, ally the owners OF the Utah Northern
desire 10 run their road AZ near the neigh
oorbood Of this competitor ~ possible.
Col. Dunn thinks the Utah Northern will
oubtediy contiuu. It's line on the east
side OF tbs Rocky Mountains and believes
that 1t will come /, Helena. He thinks it
probable. also. that branch will extend TO
Butte, should it Be believed that the in-
erased business To be derived from that
e, owing city would justify such expense.
He thinks that the branch road would start
from some point near Lovelrs station.
Referring to the above, IL occurs to Us
that tho iItimation of . direct route Ola
