come OF over twenty thousand dollars year III
salaries from various companies in which he is
president and manageable Harlem, New Haven,
Illinois, Jersey railroads. and others; how, then can
the stockholders reasonably expect his undivided
attention will be given to the Harlem, or even one
fourth of his time. Such thing is morally and
physically impossible, when more than three-fourths
of his time is occupied in other matters unconnected
with the Harlem company. The stockholders of
this. company want, and have right to claim, the
undivided attention Of the men they select besides
Mr.. Schuyers interest in the New Haven is very
large, and the stockholders greatly disapprove of
any members OF the board being interested in other
railroads, particularly where they are situated as
the Harlem and New Haven are and they never
will be satisfied until the Harlem is freed from that
antagonistical interest. We have often remarked
that the New Haven Railroad directors ought not to
be directors Of the Harlem. The officers Of the
Harlem company, on paying the February dividend
to the stockholders, made particular inquiries Of
many Of the stockholders as to their residences for
electioneering purposes, to obtain from them the
necessary proxies power to vote for them at the
coming election; which shows they are in weak
position, but we would advise the stockholders not
to give any authority to any one whatever to vote
for them, but to be present at the election and ex
ercise their own judgment, and beforehand to get
the names Of the present directors that it be
easy to distinguish who are to compose the new
ticket.
The usual monthly report Of the mining agent Of
the Great Northern Lead Company has been re-
ceived by the directors, from which we make the
following extracts:-
The workings at both mines have somewhat i'm
proved at Coal Hill, the ten fathom level which was
poor in my last report, is now worth Sl25 per
fathom The adt $50 per athom; the slopes over the
ten fathom level $3.50 per athom; the slopes under
the ten fathom level 500 per fathom crystal shaft
east $50 per fathOm
At the Union mine, Collins shaft is worth $50
per tathom ground hard the end east OF that, 500
per fathom the stope, same level, 5000 perfathom;
the end west Of this shaft spots OF ore; west OF VIC
is rapidly improving; the end east, same level, $40
per tathom, also improving. You will observe that
the quantity of ground now working is increased
from last month, and next month will show larger
mine is complete that Of Coal Hill nearly SO; both
will go forward; by their aid trust my month
~ reports of the workings will be made more intell-
gible to you The number of men working in these
mines during the past month has been as follows
smiths carpenters pitman, l timberman, As
miners, 81 laborers and strikers, engineers and
teamsters-tOtal 100.
The consolidation Of the central line Of railroads
through this State will require some very nice cacu-
lations to adjust the value Of the different roads.
Take two Of them, for instance, the Utica and
Schenectady, and the Rochester and Syracuse. The
first is seventy miles long, Of double track. The
other will have two roads of single track, one Of
eighty miles long, the other Of one hundred and four.
OF course all the through business will be upon the
short road for passengers will not bear the COST or
loco fha firpain fokiuO tho lOnO roa1 The canita1
of the Utica road is 81 500 000 with receipt of over
81 900 O00 which is equal to something twenty
two per cent on the capital The capital and debt
of the Rochester road when the new track is finished
will be about 81 900 OOO and the receipts amount to
something over fourteen per cent on the capital The
expense Of operating is Of course also much in favor
of the Utica road and this difference will be increased
when the new road is open. When the short road
shall be double tracked, must be, there will be
further expenditure Of at least million of dollars,
and it may be that the receipts will not be increased,
by reason Of the business being principally confined
to the short road. With these facts considered upon
what basis could these two roads hn nritna Thnrs
are others upon the line that will present the same
difficulties.
