has returned from Silver City and the
Mogollon country, having completed
the survey of the Silver City-Mogol-

only Is 3-4 miles long. The alterna-
tive route, via Bear Mountain, which
it was thought would cut off another
seven miles, was found to be only
1000 feet shorter, and will therefore
not be considered, and the road will
follow very much the present line.
Extra help will be employed in the
Office of Territorial Engineer Vernon

plats and profiles OF the road. To
morrow Engineers Sullivan and Mer-
weather will lay out the connecting
link in the Scenic Highway in the
Santa Fe Canon, to tie up the road
as built from the city to near Monu-
ment Rock, and the switchbacks over
the Dalton Divide, so that work on
this can be commenced as soon as
the tents and the grader, which were
recently ordered arrive
