FRoA time 10 time the iron manufacture

interest in the matter Of securing q railroad
extension through this State to the ore
fields Of Virginia, During Gov. Mathews
administration several meetings were held
by the PittsburGh Chamber Of Commerce
to contOr with him and other representa-,
tlvOs Of this and the old State, concerning
the best means Of securing this connection,
put like the direct Communication Of the
Manufacturers here with the ConnsllSVills

10 our Pittsburgh exchanges, these
same plans Of connecting Pittsburgh
with the Virginia ore section ara
being aerloualy considered. It ID esti'
mated that q road penetrating to The heart
Of the Virginia mineral region will not be
over 800 miles long, Such q road would
shorten the carriage for ores quite 200
miles % compared with roads now In
operation, and would form q valuable
trunk connection between the head Of the
Ohio Valley and the present railway SyS'
TENS Of Virginia centering at Norfolk and
Richmond. There are great beds oil

and red shale ores in Virginia that are
awaiting the hand Of enterprise, These
are their nearest sources Of supply, The
MonongAhelA river and liz tributaries
have cut the way for the railroad track q

PittSburRh can get what she wants more
