We printed few DAYS ago some statistics from the
snnualrepo ofthc Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad,
showing that the net receipts of the year were $780,
5ls, and for the last six months s2l7,36l A.. The in-
crease over the previous year was slO0,96O "a. We
now continue our extracts from the report Iu respect
TO the Coal traffic of the road the report says:
"The superior quality of the coal Immediately on the
hue of the road the new markets opening for 1t IN

OF business will present steady and large increase IN

in Europe, as the most reliable source OF in
come, and as the use of coal is rapidly and
largely increasing the statements of Dr. Stevens aud
Newbery contained in the last annual report are here
repeated. These gentlemen, both economic geologsts
Of high reputation and chara ter, made, during the
year 1854, independent explorations OF the mineral re-
sources Of the country traversed by the Road. In
communication to the President Of the Company, DIR.
Stevens says:
"The IusCarawas hills hold twelve and twenty feet
of good coal of unsurpassed eXcelency; and one
bed is camel coal equal to the camel of Virginia:
while its beds Of cannot be surpassed in richness OF
metal or thickness of strata in the United States. Its

found, either in Pennsy Ohio, rich deposits
of these mineral contiguous to the great inland nav
igaOn of the country, along the line of Your Road
in the regions above mentioned
"This last general remark of DIR. Stevens II should
be observed, extends to the mineral deposits along the
lower portion OF the Main hne and the River DIVISION
as well as TO the IuScaTawas valley. 10 the same
effect Dr. Newberry in letter idrsSed 10 the Pes
ident, bearing date December % 1854 represents:
"TuscarawaS County, as you are aware, aside from
equal,d, is OF the richest mineral districts in the
State. Coal iron and limestone found here in the
greatest profusion and of excellent quality, of which
the best will find its natural outlet over your road.

district early attracted attention, and You VIII ial il
noticed at length in the Report of the Geological
Board for 1888. Since the opening of the Extension
Road capitalists have been drawn in here; the beS.
locations have been purchased; mincs are being
opened, and in few days you viii receive the first IN
stalment of the tribute which will flow IN unendng
