which communication, after referring TO the
difficulties encountered by il, ne spoke as
follows OF the good to result from It's compile

would pay as an investment Now let us see
what trelghting would necessarily go over the
road. First, ! will mention iron ore We
have two banks in the immediate vicinity of
Manchester, one Of which has been transport.
ing BY wagon through our place, distance Of
over three miles to Melrose. This has been
abandoned since ore has gone down, as the
freight BY wagon will not justify. The other
bank has been leased by the Cameron Com
panyi and are very anxious to see the road
built. There are all along at least three miles
from this place down on the line Of the road
unmistakable appearance CT ore only waiting
TO be opened as soon as the road is built.
The next item Is, there are six paper mills
not including Hoffman s he would likely do
some freighting from his lower mill. Then
again We have five tanneries. The one close
to town consumes about eight hundred cords
OF bark. Then there are number of merch.

factory. The road will run through timber
country Astounding in valuable oak, which
would find its way TO the saw mills and be
shipped to such points where needed for car
building. Another source calculated to On.
courage enterprise, the country opened by
this road is most admirably calculated for
dairy and truck farming, having attached some
osthe finest running fountains also aifording
splendid locations for persons residing in the
4 city DESTROYS Of having a country seat, being
onlyan hour ride from Baltimore. The facil.
lily Of getting in and out of town will be an
item as persons can leave in the morning and
return in the evening having from four to FIVE
hours TO do business in. Then comes lime,
coal, iron, lumber, and the general production
Of the farm. With the fertilizers, more
particularly lime, the consumption of which
will be most extensive, there is no fiction or
guess work about hold myself responsible
for every assertion | make, and will also
venture to say that before this road will be in
operation two years it will pay handsome
| dividend on its cost. Nor Is this road inten.
ded to stop here we are in correspondence
with parties from l.ittlestown and Petersburgh
who are very anxious to see il built to Man
chester; they will then make an effort to take
/ il on to interseci their road, making the most
direct line to the city and commanding the
trade of Adams and the upper end of York
counties this being consummated, the fair
inference is that il will make one Of the best
paying branch roads in the State.
