Wells, New, Dec. 1S.-A number of
surveying parties are in the field
in different parts of the state of Ne

a largo party went TO Salt Lake

south side of Great Salt Lake. 1t is
peneved they can get through the two
ranges of mountains by favorab BILE pass

oping fine mining and agricultural sec
ttors along the road.
To Avoid Mountains.
Parties have run a line northeast
from Bishop station in Elko right up
Bishops creek for fifteen miles along
the line of the old Overland stage road
then east, crossing the track at Lucin,
Utah. skirting the great desert north
and east of Pilot peak and crossing
an arm of Salt Lake by a trestle eight
feet high to Ogden. This line avoids
the Picquot mountains in Nevada,
where the snow falls deep. and where
the grade Keeps six helping engines
busy the year round
They are stationed at Wells, where
round house. turntable and shops are
maintained, and large force OF men
is kept busy cleaning and running
them. 1t would also avoid Promontory
peak and Blue creek hill in Utah, and
long and crooked curves and grades
where helping engines are stationed
now. Another party started from Wads-
worth, taking the south side of the
track and crossing the low divide be-
tween Truckee and Carson rivers. lot
the rough grades over Hot Springs and
White Plains to the left.
Destitute of Water.
This thirty miles is destitute of water,
which is hauled by train from Wads-
worth. Three or four helpers are kept
at Hot Springs to assist trains over
the grades. BY going south of the
mountain this expense would be avoid
ed. The line could come into the pres
ent road at White Plains, or it could
keep south of Lovelocks and Humboldt
Lake. striking the road at Mill City.
That would bring ii near the great de-
posts of iron in Beuna Vista valley,
and close to the east range, where the

copper mines and the nickel mines are
located.
1t is said the road would have been
put there when it was built but for
the fact that a shipload of railroad iron
was lost at sea. ard in the rush to get

The Roundup bale OF the American
Cotton Co., the Lowry bale OF the
Planters Compress Company and an
ordinary square cotton bale were sub
jected to thorough going fire test in
Lowell. Mass, june Sth by the Associ-
ated Factory Mutnal Fire Insurance
Companies OF the United States. for
the purpose OF determining the relative
fire hazards of the several methods OF
baling cotton.
Two small frame houses exactly
nike, and some distance apart, had
been erected on a vacant plot and the
space beneath them filed with boards
and cotton waste, over which ten gal
Ions OF coal oil were poured In one
building eight American Ronndlap
bales and one square bale wsre stored :.
In the other, eight Lowry bales ana one
square bale The torch was applied
and the flames were permittee to burn
one hour before extinsnished. 1t was
as hot blaze as cotton c0nld well be
subjected to. There was no test OF the
sanare bale, owing to the fact that
when the superstructvres collapsed,
which they did few minutes after be-
ing fired, one of the square bales fell
away from the flames and then the
other Was removed.
% 1t was evident and generally conced-
ed that the American Roundlap bale
stood the test much better than the
Lowry bale. Nearly all the wires on
the Lowry bales were burned Off aud
the bales elongated from their original
length OF 3 feet inches to q feet and

Lowry bales to the flames which were
eating into the bales at many points
