from thirty to thirty five miles, nearly half
the length OF the road, and last
Monday track-laying was commenced and is
being pushed forward at the rate of a mile
and half to two miles day, and this rate he
thought would be kept until the completion
of the road, as the graders thought they
would have no trouble now in keeping out OF

the road would be entirely completed and cars
running not later than the middle OF October.
