Fiom Dunlap'S mill to Chlmper's mill,
the distance is l3 and one fourth miles
The ground on this division is rough and
much cutup by deep ravines requiring
many heavy excavations and high em.
bankmen,s. 1t Is on this division that we
meet with The difficulties ss 10 grades -
the heaviest heing on lhe first six miles
ofthis division, extending short dis
tance below Patterson's mill where we
are compelled 'o'deccnd TO and cross the
valley Of Connotton, fer the purpose Of
iMg'in ascending 10 reach CarrolIton,
which is mn 1e pnint in the ChHrter.--
The line from Dunlnp's mill passes up
