The lines upon which the surveyors are working are in central I south t'hina. One of the lines extends i rom Cliuehow in Hunan province south through UciigchowTii and Yiingehowl'u in the same province to Kweiliu in Kwangsi province, then soalhwesi lo l.iiii'howl'u and .Vanning in the sanu province, then southeast to Yamchow. or Cliinehow, in Kwangtung province, a poll on the (lull' of Touting. This route is about Sun miles long. The other line upon which the im ginccrs arc working runs in general ensl and west directions. H start:- al riiowkiakow, in lloitau pro-ince. ami !'xtcnds through Xanynngl'n in the same province lo I Isiungyangl'u in llupeh province. The latter city is an important commercial point on lb.' Han l;iver, which drains a verv fertile valley well developed ngriciiltinelly. Although this line is onlv iinii mil-'s in length, iJ is regarded as an especially valuable roule because il extends through a rich level country ottering lew engineering difficulties and so fertile and populous that the railway will doublless pay as soon as it is put into operation. Aclnal construc tion work w ill probably be bejel' on this line ia a short time, and it 'vill doubtless be the first palt of the neW' Aaieiicau railways opened lo trafi'ie.
