they  are  not  extensively  developed.  A  survey  has  been  made  for  a 
railway  to  extend  from  Basin,  on  Bighorn  River,  up  Grey  Bull  River 
past  Meeteetse  to  the  junction  of  Wood  River,  thence  up  Wood  River 
to  Kirwiu,  in  the  mountains,  thus  in  its  course  crossing  the  Meeteetse 
field.  The  Grass  Creek  field  could  be  entered  by  a  line  of  railroad 
extending  from  a  point  near  Kirby  station  up  Meeyero  and  Grass 
creeks  to  the  Grass  Creek  basin.  Neither  of  these  suggested  lines  is 
impossible  and  both  of  them  seem  to  promise  easy  construction.
