OGDEN, May 5.-Word comes from Ran
aolph, Rich county, that large party OF
surveyors are at work near there run
ming new line for the proposed extern
hon of the Chicago & Northwestern. or
more properly speaking, the Utah &
Wyoming road, and that as soon as the
survey has been made active operations
will commence from both ends. The new
survey follows that made for the Pacific
hort Line as far as the Bear river valley,
bat just which way it viii go from there
is unknown, as the surveyors have been
Instructed to find the shortest and best
route to Ogden and make the survey with
Rll possible dispatch. The lire may come
IN through Paradise canyon in Cache
county, or it may come down through
Ogden canyon, as it is understood that
the Lost creek route has been abandoned.
For several days another party OF engi-
neers has been at work in Weber canyon,
and its movements have been mysterious
enough to arouse the suspicion that even
another railroad scheme is brewing.

cific are daily expecting to receive the re-

have been burned by that time to fill the

iously awaiting the commencement of
actual work, other than that of the
mouth.

Western, has received the plans and spec
ifcations for the proposed shops, round
houses and other buildings which the

contractors may have ample time TO look
over the papers and make an intelligent
bid on the work. The plans Will be on
