Moved Camp

On Tuesday last the engineers
who have been in camp on 0. Will
sons land near Monterey, moved
their outfit to the mint spring on
Crab Run. Their work has been
greatly impeded and camp-life rem
dered correspondingly unpleasant
by the continuous rain. They have,
however, run their line to a point
considerably south of the Samples
divide, taking the Jack-mountain
side Of the valley below that point.
Mr. Metzger, the chief OF the
corps. who was called away two
weeks ago or more, returned to
Monterey Monday evening, and is
now with his men.
The Young gentlemen have, ap-
parently, enjoved their sojourn in
the Monterey valley, have conduct
ed themselves becomingly, made
friends and acquaintance, and we
hope their work may bring good
to Highland. As to results, none
of us can tell, but, if as many have
long contended, i've are some day
to get railroad" who, knows but
that the time draws near, and that
this survey means business.
Apropos Of this subject, it may
also be stated that the Chesapeake
Western now has some men look
ing over their line with the pros.
pect of a survey from North River
Gap to Camden on the Gauley, and
that corps Of engineers is said to
be working below Franklin, on the
South Branch, hsaded for Monte
rey.
Could we forget past disappoint-
ments and experiences, such pros
poets would beget confidence and
enthusiasm.
