gilmore than three hundred miles in extent whilst
the Lake routes do not touch the coal feldsinan
part of their course. Experiments have already
demonstrated great saving by the use of coal
upon Locomotives even where.wood costs nothing
and hauling. Before many years shall have clap
sed, the Great Lines at the north will be- COM
pelled by the increased cost of wood, to gettheir
fuel from the regions traversed by their Southern
Rivals.
CONTRACTS WITH OTHER ROADS.
The contract with the Cincinnati, Wilmington
and GAINESVILLE Railroad Company, looking toyery
intimate relations, stipulateS that the Central
Company shall subscribe to the Stock of the other
in the sum of 100000, payable in per cent. In
come bonds. As the other Company pays per
cent. interest upon stock until the Road shall be
placed in operation is practically but loan ofthe
credit of our Company; and even now that Is
now scarce needed; for the credit of the G. w.
& 2. R. Road has became so well established as to
require no endorsement. The subscription is
now principally valuable to the G. w. d Il. X.
Road as pledge of the cordial feeling enteltaln-
ed for it by the Central Company. We trust you
will ratify the contract
With The Columbus and Xenia Co., and under
the concurrence of the Xenia and Dayton Rail
Road Co., we have made very important con-
tract. 1t authorizes the transmission of the traffic
OF or for the Central Road over the Columbus and
Xenia and Xenia and Dayton Roads, in our own
cars, either byregular special trains, at The same
rates as may be charged for their own proper trail
fic, and making also proper deductions from those
rates for the use of our machinery employed in It's
| tranSportation% This amounts to a practical eX-
tension of the Central Road to the city OF Dayton.
We shall doubtless be able 10 make SIMILAR con-
| tract with the Little Miami OF Cincinnati, VIII
mington and GAINESVILLE Road and ii Ike con-
| tract be made with the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
and Ohio and Pennsylvania Roads, there VIII be
a symmetry and completeness in our business ar.
engagements such as but few RoadS through Ohio
will be able to boast 1t would enable us 10 run
our Express trains between Pittsburgh and Gin
cinnati, q distance of 329 miles, in 10 hours or
| less.
We have contracted with the Scioto and Hook
| ingValley and the Mansfield and SanduSky City
Rail Road Companies, for the purchase of grounds
ut Newark and the construction of station build
| ings on Joint account. The facilities for transfer
which this arrangement will enable us TO make,
will be very advantageous. Connection with the
SanduSky interest is already an important one;
and the opening of the SciOta and Hooking Valley
| Road TO the Jackson county Iron mnes II attend
| ed with no other beneficial results would furnish
over our Road in part, TO the Rolling mills ana
the various other establishments using pig IRON IN
at GAINESVILLE, Columbus and elsewhere along the
| line, delivery SO much cheaper than they have
heretofore had, as 10 place them equality, at
| least, with the iron manufactures of Wheeling
and Pittsburgh. With that Road complete, pig
iron from the Jackson mines would be delivered
| in GAINESVILLE at cost of S2,5 per Ton; saving
! of S1,5O over the present lowest rates at S1,0O
per ton less than the Hanging Rock metal IS de-
livered in Pittsburgh. Under this view of things,
with iron, coal and cost of living, all cheaper
| in our neighborhood than at Pittsburgh, capital
will not hesitate at investment in manufactures
along the line of our Road, furnishing as 1t will,
| facilities 10 an extended and expanding market.
