Cannot the UnitofSiate9 geological sprvoy,
who made the survey of me bark, particularly
Of ita northern portion, from which the map
of ISIS, the latest map was made, and who vas
| connected with Dr. Ga7dnnis survey of that
territory, aud who IL fsunhQrly acquainted

i the proposed road must pass In o coninuni-
\ cation submitted TO the committee writes:
The road proposed Is the only ono practi-
cable 60 reach those mines. The ridgeso the
| shoshone aud Yellowstone range ttend In a
fRcncral north and south direction, and any
| utlroad attempting 10 feacht these mines rom
the west must cross them nearly At right an!
| giles These mountains are extremely rugged
| and contain very few passes practicable ayen
Tor pack animals. That Ut the head OF the
East fork, which Il IS proposed TO use for this
railroad, Is the only one available for this
"in my Judgment, railroad on this route
| cannot iniurc the park as q pleasure resort.
It truver Is region IN which there are no oh.
! jectsof interest, with thc exception of the
! third canyon Of the Yellowstone and Of the
EShoshOne mountains, which differ In no essen
uQl particular nom similar scenery elsewhere.
No senator knows better than Mr.. Vest the
Boeds of this section Of Montana aud Wyoming
HAND the folly of maintaining the present
Fboundary of the park, aud ON hig Nisitto that
section AFTER meeting with many citizens and
fully investigating the subject, gave them his
assurance that they should have lbs hearty
Cooperation In obtaining speedy reltaf, and
upon these nssurnnoes many Investments bave
been made in, aud about Clark's Fork and tho
charter Of tho Cinnabnr and Clark's Fork Rail-
wny company was obtained with those aRsnr-
lnces in view.
