A resident correspondent of the Bulletin at Redding, "J. W. B.," writes as follows concerning the activity of railroad engineers in the territory lying between Redding and Lakeview, which is now the scene ol great railroad en gineering activity. It has been estimated that there are at least ISO men, comprising various sur vey ing corps, scattered in particx along the stage route bptween the two towns above named. Some authorities place the number as high as 350. Several weeks ago one party that left Redding, alone numbered sixty odd. It required the services of twelve twti and four-hotse wagons to haul the en gineering apparatus, tentings, per bonal effect:?, cooking utensils, grub, etc., from the railroad to the starting point, Woodman's ranch fourteen miles distant from Red ding. Since the departure of this corps another large surveying par ty was Gtted out in Redding and left town in the same direction. According to common report, there is a corps of surveyors at active work below Alturas, in Mo doc county, working south and one between Lakeview, Oregon, and Alturas, working toward the latter place. It is supposed the latter corps is running a line that, it is intended, will reach the Ore gon coast at Coos bay. For some time surveyors have been at work in Lassen county, with the settled purpose, it seems to be the general opinion, of gaining an entrance to the broad Sacramento valley by. way of either the Beck worth or & Fredonia passes. In some quarters there is an im pression that if a transcon tinental railway enter the Sac ramento Valley at eitner of these mountain passes, the prospect for a road through the immense tim ber bells and fruitful foothill re gions of extreme northeastern Cal ifornia is thereby rendered ex tremely uncertain, if not improba ble. But such an impression is an ill-considered conclusion. It can safely be asserted that the Union Pacific Railroad com pany is instituting and directing all this preliminary work. The New York Herald of a recent date is authority for the statement that the Union Pacific company "is looking up routes for an ex tension from Ogden west to the Pacific coast," drawing this con clusion, perhaps, from the fact that there is certainly preliminary rail road activity throughout this vast territory, and that it is likelier to be the Union Pacific's work than that of any other company. Be fore the appearance of engineers and surveyors in this section, there passed over the entire proposed route, traveling in a double seated vehicle with a driver, a couple of viewers, whose duty seemea to tie to select the best belts of country, with a view more to their resources than to practicabi'iiy fora railroad route, and then diiect the engi neers 'o surmount the difficult and obstacles. These viewers remained two weeks or more at Montgomery creek station, on the out,-kins ol one of the finpst, broadests an 1 thickest belts of almost virgin timber in the state, and aljoui fifty miles northeast oT RejJdmg. The driver of the vehicle, who was not at all secretive, said that the team had been since early spring? that the party started from Ohey enne, traveling northwest, thence through central Wyoming to Boise City, Idaho; from there to Lake view, Oregon, and thence down the stage route to Redding. Basing a conclusion on this in formation, it would naturally ap pear Herald was misled in stating that the coaatward continuation of the Union Pacific would be taken up at Ogden that is, if the other story be true.
