New Coal outlet.

The survey of the projected railroad from
Pitston to Hawley, through the Moosic
Mountains, the new coal outlet for the New
York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad, has
been completed, and the work of grading
has been begun. The road which will be
about fifty miles in length, will be built by
a party of English capitalists at an aggre-
gate cost Of a million dollars, the estimated
cost per mile being about $40 200. The object
Of its construction is TO afford the Erie com
pany an independent outlet for its coal from
the Wyoming Valley,where it has 1000 acres
of rich, undeyeloped coal lands south Of
Scranton. At present the Eries coal is
principally shipped from the valley over the
Delaware and Hudson gravity road to
Honesdale, but this portion of the Delaware
and Hudson Canal Company's highway is
| fully taxed with its own shipments. The
I projected road will connect with the Lehigh
Valley Railroad at Pittston, and the Fri,
Railway at Hawley, thus afording fine ia,
eililies for freight aud passenger triiic, al
well as for coal shipments from this section

chairman of the county committee for the

vailed in all It's deliberations and measures
