The past wear has witnessed very much
lessencd activity in railroad building than
had characterized the three preceding wears
On June 40 1855 there were reported to this
Office Sis IS miles of main track It was esti-
mated that, including roads being built at
the time OF the preparation of our last annual
report. the railroad mileage of the state
would amount up to December 81. 1883, to
s. 1g9. I6 miles The figures now furnished this
Office show that this was not correct. The
total mileage, main line completed and in
operation on June S0last was s,755.07, making
the amount completed and put into opera.
tion between June 80, 1855 and June 30, 1859,
2s9 70 miles. The present mileage exceeds
the figures reported in June last The
Hutchinson 4 Southern railroad, now being
constructed from the city of Hutchinson
south, thirty miles of which was completed
several weeks ago, is not included in this re-
port. The present mileage of railroads
within the State exceeds S, 800 miles.
The total amount Of capital stock issued
and outstanding by all the companies on
June 30, ISIS. was ssis,oII ,s26.sl: total of all
companies reporting June 30, 1889. 42s,-

In this amount, however, there is $40, I50, 900
of stock of the Chicago. Rock Island Il
Pacific Railway Company which has never
been previously reported, and for the pur-
pose of this comparison should be deducted.

ported by the Chicago, Rock Island 4 Pacific
Railway COMPANY, viz: Si7 500, 900 it will be
seen that the actual increase of all COM
panics reporting heretofore is S20,095 s2s.
This increase is due to construction OF addi-
tional mileage of railroads.
