RAILWAY BUILDING EN 1880.

The Chicago "Railway Age," a short time ago, published state ment showing the number Of miles Of railway constructed from January l to July l, 1880. These figures, while not claimed to be complete, are Vouched for as be- ing accurate, so far as they are not in excess of the actual results. The "Rail way 4 Age" says that it is already certain that the year 1880 will be marked by an activity in the projection and construction Of railways that has not been eqna!led in this country since the panic of 1873, aud it is not i'm probable that the addition to our mileage during the present twelve months may exceed tfa. built in 1871, the year of greatest increase, when over 7,200 miles of new track were laid. Thus far III 1880 the new mileage is more than twice as great as that for the first half Of 1879, and about three times as great as in the cores. bonding period of any year since l873-in fact, is four and half times as great as that in in the first six months of 1875.
 It says that is impossible thus early to state with any exactness the mileage constructed during the past six months, but the fig ufes which it has obtained show that rails have been going down 1 in at least 29 States and Territo- ries, up to July fully 1,700 miles | have been laid. The largest Op-- erations were in Kansas, where PIP miles of track were laId- Nebraska follows with 18S miles,

and ArlA01a With 1J5 miles. IL Ohio there were 942 miles of TO ld constructed, in New Mexico 91 miles. and Nevada 50 miies. Ii
 will be seen that the greatest ac- 1 tivity iii railroad building has been in the far west. where in- crease of railroad facilities means increased population, aud the opening of hitherto uninhalited sections of country. In the min ing country the construction Of railways has been going on at a rapid rate. In addition 10 the States already mentioned, Color ado has had 55 miles of railroad added to it's transportation sys- tenn, and Utah 54 miles. In nearly ali Of the mining regions where railroads have been built tlieir necessity preceded their con- struction. Already they have affected favorably the districts they communicate with. They have given an impetus to mining enterprises in sections which, owing to the previous lack of transportation facilities, were almost dormant.
 But not the mining districts alone have been III de the field for extending the railroads. In pogtant grain growing countries, some Of them which are to be soon the great producing fields Of the United States, have had many miles of railroad put in op- eration, giving them easy com n1unication with the markets which they will soon largely supply. In the Southern States, where railroad, facilities are most lsls.t, o.e., Jye1 I3G L:i.aa If track were laid. and there are over 1,500 miles TOW in course of con- struction. Illinois, which is pretty well cut up with railroad routes, had seyenty.six miles of track added to it's lines, and other Of the Western States have re- ceived important additions. In the east, railroad construction has not been as active, nor has it been as much needed. Upon the whole, although indati0n jn rail- road building is to be feared, the same as similar eXceSses in any other business, there seems to have been a disposition to build new railroads where they are likely 10 do the most good, and, ia that view of the case, the activity of the past six months may be- considered as worthy of congratulation.
 The results of the coming six months are likely to be larger than for the past six months, as from the statistics compiled by the Railway Age," which it claims arc more likely to be be- low than above the actual figures, it appears that work is now in progress upon at least no rail- ways in 8 States and Territories, and covering a proposed mileage of about 9,G00 miles. With such a result as that the railroad build ing of 1873, in which year more work was done than in any year of, the history of this country, will be far surpassed.
