THE b, y. x C. RAILROAD.
A report made by Receiver I. H. Bur-
good, Of the B., Il q o. railroad, shows
the narrow gauge has been doing pretty
good business for q "dinky" road. Dur
ing the year ending July, 1889, the B., u.
& G. earned over 100000. The year be-
fore the receipts were about the same, but
in 1897 the earnings were only 500, 1000.
The report shows that business on the b,
u & @. is on the Increase and with proper
management the road will become valuable
property some OF these dayP. The COM
pany that is making an effort to get con-
troll of the stock will be able by adroit
management to make some money.
