CHARLESTON, W, Va, March 1S,-It is
stated upon the best authority that with
in sixty days 1000 mon will begin the
work Of grading for the extension OF the
Norfolk & Western Railroad from Elk
horn, Mcdowell county, to the Ohio
river, running through Logan and
Wayne counties. 1t is said that all the
arrangements have been made to push
the work forward to immediate COM
pletion, and the money secured, SO,OOO,-
900 Of bonds having been sold In London
recently, The road will develop one Of
the richest coal territories in West Vir-
ginia, and lis operation will save 600
miles OF transportation In reaching the
Western markets-Cincinnati, Chicago,
st, Louis and other Western cities.
There are already 1000 coke ovens In
the Elkhorn region and 1000 more are
under contract.
The new road will be 100 miles in
length and, as said above, will save 600
miles in reaching Western markets. At
Ceredo the Ohio river will be bridged,
and Ironton, Ohio, will be made the ter
minus Of the division, where 1t will con.
meet with other western roads, satislac.
tory traffic arrangements having been
made.
The route OF the road from Elkhorn to
the Ohio follows theTug river through
Mcdowell county to the mouth al
Pigeon creek, in Logan county; thence
up Pigeon to the mouth Of Laurel, up
Laurel TO its head through a tunnel 500
feet long, with a grade OF As feet to the
mile, on the headwaters Of Twelve Pole,
and down Twelve Pole to the Ohio at
Ceredo.
The great salvage OF distance to the
Western markets for the coal and coke
OF this great region can readily be seen,
when II is considered that at present the
route from Elkhorn west Is through
Chattanooga and Knoxville, Tenn.

EAST SAGINAW, MiCn., March 1S.-The
formation OF a salt trust now seems to
be assured, @. F. Burger, representing
the eastern manufacturers engaged in
the formation Of a national salt trust,
came here in January and had a con.
ference with manufacturers at the an
nual meeting Of the salt association, but
no conclusion was reached. Subse.
quently the President and a member Of
the Executive Board Of the Michigan
Association visited New York, inYesti.
gated the situation and a proposition
was made for the formation ola trust,
the base Of which was the purchase Of
all plants operated In Independently OF
salt mills, the product controlled by the
Michigan association and manufactured
In connection with mill plants, TO be
turned over TO the national trust at
stipulated prices. The proposition was
laid before a secret meeting Of Michigan
manufacturers last week In this city and
the members present voted to 60 into
the trust on the basis proposed. The
idea Is To shut down all works where
fuel costs so much that there is only q
narrow margin Of profit and the product
OF each district TO be regulated by the
area 1t can control, this being, Of course,
regulated by freight rates.
Burger Is now here and the dates Of
the trust or syndicate, as 1t Is called as
preferable TO trust, are being arranged.
The entire salt producing territory ol
the country will be included in the trust,
