THE BURLINGTON ROAD.
Seems to be Coming This Way-Con-
tract Let For $50 Miles West
From Guernsey.

A dispatch from Laramie to tue Den
yer. Republican, under date of Oct 1th
says:
"Geueral Superintendent Calvert OF
The Burlington was in Laramie yester-
day en- route to Rock River, from which
place he will drive north and inspect the
survey Of the proposed extension of the
Burlington Gurnsey line. Mr.. Calvert
was at Wheatland Friday aud from there
drove into the country, where he made
d critical examination of the survey
made last summer by j. w. Negus and
party for what was known as the Lara
ME 4 Sweetwater Valley railroad. 1t
appears from the movements of MIR. Cal
vert that some changes have been made
in Burlington plans for the extension of
the Guernsey line to Salt Lake.
1t is now believed that after leaving
Guernsey the line will run in a more
~southerly direction and will cross the
Union Pacific at APPOINT near Rock River
some 80 miles east of the proposed cross
ing at Medicine Bow, and instead OF
crossing the country by the Sweet~ater
route. the line will extend south through
the Battle Lake country and through
the northern half Of Routt county. Colo
This Route will take the road through II
rich mineral and stock raising section
and and that will be more productive
than the route further north"
