LITTLE ROCK AND NORTHERN
Pushing Work of Location.
It will Traverse fancy
County.


From tho Springfield Lesder-Democrat.
The latest advice, first handed:
from the Little Rock & Northern
railroad is that the location of the
line fron Little Rock to the mouth
of Wiley's covo, Searcy county, Ark,
will be completed this week.
The location Of their line is, in ef-
feet, also completed from the mouth
of Wiley's cove to point on Water
creek, Searcy county, one. mile east
of the Maumee mine; which means
a successful third passage of Buffalo
river Oh a maximum of 1 per cent
grade, with other compensations in
them after of curves.
There are two parts of the line, the
location of which has not been COM
pletcd viz: from Dodd City to. Buffa-
10 river, and 35 miles of the line in
Missouri, north of White river. In
the case of the first named gap, the
present corps in charge Of w. r.
Smith, now at work in the Sugar
Orchard country will complete the
location to = point on Water creek,
Searcy county, reached by the Har-
rington corps. And in the second
instance, both the Harrington and
Kiser corps, will at once double on
the relocation Of the line as before
described.
While the progress of the survey
has been slow, 1t has been called for
by the imperative conditions of a
maximum of one per cent grade
and other compensation in the way of
curves. And the difficulties sur
mounted, only after heavy expense
and persistent effort of the company
show the substantiability of the en-
terprise as we'll ss determination of
its hackers not to let slip from their
grasp the rich and ripe plum, of the
Arkansas zinc field.
Due to the uncompleted locations
pointed out and other detailed formu-
lations of their enterprise, it is not
expected to begin construction until
early in the spring; after which
Northern Arkansas is to have an ex-
hibition Of railroad building Oh a par
with that of the Choctaw, from the
line of the Indian Territory to Little
Rock.
It is also in evidence, in consequence
of the prolonged period of the survey,
and q constant traversing of the
country, that the projectors and
hackers of the road, have acquired
another knowledge Of the country,
than had induced the projection of
their enterprise. It is Of 50 large
scope and stands for so much larger
business than expected of the country
at the best, that the Little Rock &
Northern may be expected to capture
three-fourths Of the mineral field.
Mr.. Charles T Coleman, of Rose g.
Coleman, general attorneys of the
road, speaking for President Johnson,
authorizes q contradiction Of the in
formation that the construction OF
the Little Rock & Northern depend
ed upon political contingencies.
The projection of the road is for
business purposes, and by business
people who find in the resources OF
their territory every reason for one
of the best paying railroad enter.
prises undertaken in the southwest
And with these considerations in
view neither time nor expense had
been grudgcd, the end that maxi
mum grade of one per cent might be
obtained and construction pushed on
all parts of the line, when the location
has been completed.
