THE O. S. l.. SURVEYORS Engineer
Clark and his prncipel surveyors in the
Snake river canyon, having completed their
| survey, received orders to report themselves
ut Pocotello as soon as practicable, for the
purpose Of making a difficult survey at some
poiut east of that place before the severity
of winter set in. Mr. Clark says he in
formed his chief Of work Of further surveys
for grading in the Snake river canyon could
not be done with safety to the men in the
cold icy weather. that March and April be-
! fore the extreme high water would be much
better months, both for safety and expense
This was written in answer to en-
quiries of his chief as to the best time to
commence the grading surveys. Mr.. Clark
expects to have charge Of these grade sur
veys, and expects to commence them in
March, and that the grading force will fol-
low the grade surveys with the work of
grazing. That the work of grading will be
commenced before the o. 5. L. rcac hes
Barnt river. The final reports of the line
as run by him, and th. plats, are not all
yet retained to the chief and the company !;
that the route is highly practicable and the
best that could be found, between the
mouth Of Burnt river and the country west
OF the Blue mountains, and that the cost of
its construction would be less than that of
any other route and that it will be much the
best grade, aud better road bed, and
require less repairs during the operation of
the road than any other between the points
named, and when these facts are made APP
parent to the board of managers and their
merits considered, Mr.. Clark seems conf
dent they will not hesitate to Immediately
| order the work of construction. Mr. Clark
is OF the firm opinion that no compromise OF
pooling has been made. or will in the future
be made between the Union Pacific and the
y. X, d N ICompanies, that will any man
ner prevent or delay the construction of the

he believes that the whistle of the Oregon
Short Line locomotive will be heard coming

within two years, if not within Is months,
Mr. Clark in saying the above thinks he is in
no wise compromising or forestalling the COM

RICH GOLD DISCOVERY. Mr.. James Hib-
bard. an experienced miner from California,
called upon us this week bringing sample
of very rich gold bearing rock, which he had
recently extracted from a four-foot vein he
had opened upon about 10 miles east from
Elk City. The rock was intcrlaid with gold
all through and is exceedingly rich. He
says that the gold is distinctly visible with
the eye III the rock in almost every part of
the VEN. Mr.. Hibbard gave us the follow
ing history: He came to California at very
early date after the discovery of gold in that
State, and his occupation has been principal
ly mining ever since he came there, both in
placer and quartz mining, and claims large
experience. In 1862 he came up to Elk City
ia Idaho, and worked extensively on
Crooked river near Elk City in the placers,
and made considerable money. While there
he found rich tioat quartz and inferred tlat
that there must be a rich vein or veins Of
quartz not fer distant. Having then no time
for prospecting, he determined at some fu-
ture time to come up from California and
prospect for quartz veins in that section.
But opportunity did not occur till the pres
ent year, about six or eight weeks ago he
came up and with a MIR. Martin of The
Dalles went to Elk City and visited the sec
ton of his former indications and commenced
prospecting. The timber in the mountains
was such to make it somewhat difficult
