great number of coal claims in this por-

hasten the opening Of the 81 claims !.
for heretofore the greatest obstacles to
their development has been the difficult
ties and expenses of transportation

will the road tend directly to develop
the coal interests of the county but
rich deposits Of iron ore will be
opened up as soon as this expeditious and
cheap means of transportation is within

THE VALUE or HgSs-The sabu-
lous prices at which chickens and egg,
are frequently held in this market. and
especially during the pas, season. have
leod Us at different times ~ expa,iate
upon the value Of hens a. = source Of
revenue. Generally speaking, and
without exaggeratioD, We msy say .ha.
the production Of hens and
eggs Is one of the largest inter
ests in which the farmers If the
United States are interested. We re-
member sometime ago OF having seen
some interesting figures on this subject,
and although their magnitude wa. quite
amazing, after rejecting on the subjec.
we have no reason To doubt their cor
rectness. The statistican estimated tba,
tho egg product Of the United
States amounted ~ more than Eve
hundred million OF dollars per annuu.
This estimate, which the computor
considers much very less than tho
actnal value Of the yearly egg product.
will bear us ont in the above statement,
that the interest Is one Of the largest
