CHANGE PORTORIOO'S SHAPE
Spanish Maps Have Given II . False
Outline and American Surveys
VIII show Its True Contour.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA special to the
Times from Washington says:
One OF the most curious results OF the
annexation OF Porto Rico viii be an al
teration in the shape OF the island as 1t
IL known to the world.
I ne coast survey Is now at work finding
out what the real shape of Porto Rico
is and 1t has already learned enough to
show that the old Spanish surveys are not
only unreliable and worthless, but that
they give a positively false impression of
the formation Of the coast. Porto Rico
has been Of an oblong shape. 1t has looked
as IL the sea, Disguised with the queer
shapes assumed by the islands. had de-
termineo to throw above Its surface at
least one island as even in contour as a
cigar box. just to show that it could be
dona.
The coast survey Is beginning TO find out
that Porto Rico has considerable irregu-
iarities. At the eastern end there Is a
long northwestern slant into the ocean.
This will make the island bigger than had
been supposed.
No one can tell what shape Porto Rico
will be when it is finally surveyed, as an
American possession. but 1t seems certain
that ii Will not be the insu.ar freak 1t has
appeared On the Spanish surveys.

BURLINGTON LINE TO
BUILD AN EXTENSION
VIII Bun Through the Fertile Section
Of Nebraska and the Mineral
Belt of Wyoming.

CHICAGO. Nov. 19.--It is probable that
,fhe Chicago. Burlington and Quincy will
luld an extension 10 Ogden. Utah. and
make connection there with the Southern
Pacific. The proposed extension IS not 10
Doe from Denver west. but is 10 run from
Alliance. Neh., 20 Hartville. where there
gre large and valuable iron deposits. and
thence due west fifty miles north Of
Cheyenne. Wyo., 10 ogden.
This would place the Burlington's cN-
tension midway between the Chicago and
N0rthWestern's Fremont, Elkhorn and
Missouri Valley Railroad and the Union
Pacific. il would run through a fertile
section of Nebraska and strike some val
uable iron and other mineral deposits IN
Wyoming. The line would be as direct as
ID. NOrthwestern-I nion Pacific line from
chicago 20 Ogden. From Denver west the
Burlington has the Use Of both the Denver
and klo Grande and the Colorado MID
land, but the Denver route IS not so direct
a. would be the proposed line via Alliance,
Ncb.
The reason the Burlington is desirous OF
running q through transcontinental line
midway between the Union Pacific and
the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Val
ley is that these lines belong 10 the Van
cerbilf-H Hartman syndicate. and the pres
ent Burlington line is Wedgcd In between
them. il desires 10 be 50 situated that il
can offer active competition TO the North
western and its allied lines west Of the
Missouri River. and this IL hopes 10 &C
complsh by building an extension from
Alliance.
