Surveyors at BOwdOn.

A crew of n. p. surveyors left yes
terday on the J. & n. for BoWdon to
survey for the extension of that line
to the Missouri river. Coal Habor is
said to be their destination and a
fairly good route can be had through
the hills. There are numerous val
leys where excellent farm land can be
had and all the country along the pro-
posed line is fine stock country. 1T is
settled for 25 miles west OF Bowdon.
The surveyors had tents and inStru-
ments and complete outfit for work.
The opening of that region by the
building of the road will greatly in
crease the business of the j. & n.
branch. At Coal Harbor there are
great deposits of coal cropping out OF
the river bank.
