CHESTER AND LENOIR RAILROAD.
The opinion has obtained among many per.
sons that work on the Chester and Lenoir Mar
row Gauge Railroad has been suspended
This is erroneous. At no period since work
on the road was commenced, have operations
been entirely suspended; and at no time has
the prospect for an early completion Of the
road been brighter and more promising than
the present.
The heaviest portion Of the grading is fn-
ished. With the exception of one section, all
the grading is finished from Yorkville to
Crowders creek, which includes fourteen miles
of finished work, and is within eight miles of
the Airline Railroad. On this portion-be-
tween Crowder's creek and the Airline Rail-
road-Dr. Smyer is working with full force,
and as good portion of the work is light, it
is thought he will complete his contract for
grading BY the 1st of February. All the
grading from Crowders creek to the Airline
Railroad is very light a section Of one mile
being estimated by the engineer at only SITS
for the grading, while the cost of the entire
grading between the points named will not
exceed $4,000, and will probably be reduced
from these figures by contemplated changes
of location at several points, to be made with
the view of lessening the labor and expense.
The grading from the Airline to Dallas is
also progressing rapidly, and will be compile
ted at an early day, and arrangements are
now in progress for placing the remaining
small portion of the survey under contract for
grading.
The bridging and trestlework, under charge
of Captain Fry, has progressed even more sat-
isfactorily. He has pushed his work forward
with great energy, having completed the tres
ties over Allison and Beaver Dam creeks, and
the trestle over Crowder's creek is finished,
with theexception of the span oflattice bridge,
which is being constructed in Columbia, and
will be put in position when the track is laid
to the creek. Captain Fry is now working on
the trestle over Catawba creek, one and
half miles this side of the Airline Railroad,
and the last bridge between Yorkville and
that road. With no untoward accident, it
may be safely promised that the road-bed be-
tween Yorkville and Dallas will be entirely
completed and ready for the cross-ties by the
1st ofMarch next.
As will be seen by our Chester letter, DR..
A. H. Davega, President of the road, has re-
Gently sold in New York, $4,000 of York
county bonds at 80 cents on the dollar, the
cash for which has been paid into the treasury
of the Company. We understand another
new engine has been ordered for the road,
which, with the freight cars now building at
this place, will be ample equipment of rolling
stock for the present.
