PARTY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS AT
BONESTEEL TELL PLAN.
WILL GO TO TRIPP COUNTY LINE
F. E. Stanley , Who Has Charge of the
Civil Engineers Now In Bonestccl ,
Says That Work Will Take Two
Months To be Sixteen Men In All ,
noiiestoel. S. D. , April 13. Special
to The News : The seven civil engi
neers , whoso arrival In this town was
published in The Dally News , are
waiting here now for their car and
the remainder of their crow. They
are In charge of F. E. Stanley , the
names of the remaining party being :
n. A. Tohmelly , J. A. Daniels , J. B.
Barton , Glen Road , L. R. Knapp and
0. C. Curtis. The party will bo Increased -
creased to sixteen In a few days when
the work of surveying will commence
In dead earnest. In an Interview with
Mr. Stanley at the Ak-Sar-Uon hotel
upon his arrival , ho was not disposed
to glvo much information as to what
the railroad company expected to do ,
only that ho was directed , with his
crow , to nonesleel to make a survey
to the Trlpp county line and that they
would commence work at once , and
that It would possibly take them two
months to complete the survey.
As to the likelihood of striking any
of the towns now on the reservation
Mr. Stanley said , "when our work is
completed the stakes will Indicate the
course of the road , " and as ho had
no knowledge whatever of the lay of
the land ho would venture no remarks
at this time.
From the statements made by Mr.
Bldwoll in Bonestool last fall and the
numerous reports from reputed relia
ble sources , in all probability the road
will bo extended this summer , nnd
the statement made by Mr. Bidwell
will bo verified by the beginning of
actual construction in less than ninety
days.
This news is certainly good news to
the people of Bonesteel and Gregory
county. It will mean much to the
people already located here and will
open now opportunities for those who
because of the extension of the road ,
will locate among us. The population
of Gregory county will multiply In the
next year as no other county In the
state has , or ever will , which will
mean Increased valuations on all lands
In the territory of the westward-going
road , and a stimulation in all real es
tate property in every railroad town
In the county.
The surveying party now in Bone-
stool have just come from Casper ,
Wyo. , where they had been engaged
In railroad surveying for the North
western road through that state.
