NARROW GAUGE RAILRoAD.-We have
noted several cheaply-built local railways,
but the Pennsboro & HarrisvilIe, in West
Virginia, (3-feet gauge, is about the cheap
est yet. The president writes US that the
whole cost of the miles of road, including
locomotive, passenger car, and two gon>
dalo cars. was $50, COO, which is an average
of S3, 1873 per mile. The capital stock is
Sl2 600, and the property is mortgsgcd for
the iron, etc, for ST., 900, running ten years,
at per cent. The earnings average from
$500 to 5000 per month the expenses about
S260. At this rate the net earnings are
from 1910 to S34O per month, or say, from
81 500 to $4,000 per year. The lowest fig
ure would pay q handsome interest on the
entire cost of the property, which is what
very few railways in this or any other coun~
try do nowadays. We would like very much
to have the exact figures FOR an entire years
operation. One other noteworthy feature be-
sides the remarkably small cost Of the road is
suggested in this item g No paid officers on
this road, but two freight agents, who are
paid 500 per anuum each" Here is some>
thing for other companies to read snd con-
slider. When they get the aggregate pay of
their officers aud agents down to 5000 per
year they will begin to make money.
