F.. The Interstate Tunnel.

A gentleman very much interested in
the success Of the tunnel says:
1.-THE engineers in charge of the survey
bave Just about completed their field work
and we expect them to arrive in Big Stone
Gap next week to work up their notes,
make maps, profies, and approximate esti-
Inmates. The enterprise, as you may
know, provides for double track rail-
way, with. this place az its southern ter
minus, beginning above the Appalachian
furnace. and as at present intended going
through the gap above the grades of the
Ian. and S. A. e. 0. railroads, crossing
Powcll's river on viaduct, and ascending
Calahan's creek, at whose head Black
Mountain is pierced by a $500 foot tunnel
thence down Oven Fork and up the Poor
Fork of Cumberland river, through Flat
Gap, and along the Virginia state line,
through the Indian Grave Gap i'll Pine
Mountain, to the head waters Of the Ken
lucky river, whence it is plain sailing. 1t
may be necessary to have 5000 feet OF
tunnel through the Pine Mountain, but
we hope to get through cut of fifteen
feet, and it is on this part of the work
that the engineers are engaged.
"When completed this tunnel road would
probably be used by the Kentucky Union,
the Eastern Kentucky, Mr.. Huntington's
Chattaroi and possibly by the Louisville
& Nashville and Louisville & Southern on
the north probably by extensions of
the East Tennessee, Virginia 4 Georgia,
South Atlantic & Ohio and the C's, on
south. As one railroad director said it.,
would be better for his road to pay the
interest on this enterprise than to at
tempt tie build it.
"a large banking house in New York,
another in Boston, and third in London
are awaiting maps, estimates, &C., with a
view to taking the necessary issue OF
bonds, so We hope to begin active opera
ton soon.'
Capt. A. II. Bishop and j. P. Moorman,
of the Interstate Tunnel engineering
corps, with j. P. Huston, j. r. Morgan
and II. T. Turner have returned after
completing the survey. They report that
they found good route, not very costly
and that the tunnel through Pine Noun
tain will be about $500 feet. 1t is Ger
tain that the tunnel is practicable and
that it will cost less than at first esti-
mated. The route will he twenty-five
miles long reaching from Big Stone Gap
to the head waters of the Kentucky
river.

Valley Street Railway.

A director in the dummy line says;
"Considcring the times, the Valley Street
Railway is doing good business, both in
freight and passenger traic, more than
paying expenses were it not for the cost
of getting new property in shape. More
than mile of track is laid and the grad
ing for nearly two miles more completed,
and the line will be extended as the needs
Of the community require it. This will
be great convenience later on for haul
ing building materials, coal, and other
frcights during the night; and passengers
traffic during the day, when We are larger.
Even now there are sometimes ten cars
on our side tracks. When necessary we
will get additional eastern money and
make improvements and extensions"

1nterstate Inyestment Co.

Mr.. Ballard, president, in recent con-
versation, said:
''Of course in the matter of getting
10000 acres Of land together there are @
great many odds and ends to be shaped
up, and We are SO engaged now. When
all this business is completed ne will
make number of leases ut very favorable
figures, and the coking business of Big
StoncGap will be very much enlarged.
For instance, some gentlemen in Shame
kin. Pa, have been hurrying US in this
matter of lease, but we have had to
postpone negotiations for awhile, but NO
will soon be ready for all comers."
Mr. r. c. Ballard Thruston, trustee for
this company, also said:
~ will soon send to Big Stone Gap q
diamond drill which we have been using
on the lands of the Kentucky Union rail
road, and with which we may make some
discoveries that will add 10 the present
great wealth of this section. This drill
takes out core 80 the section removed
will be interesting to biologists, and in
crease our knowledge of the strata. We
will bore our land thoroughly"

BALrxoAk, Dec. 1s.-The Masonic Temple was ra.

just before Forepaughs theatre, which is In the Tenn

The building IT, reduced to mere shell. Nearly all
the records Of the Grand Lodge since its organization

records OF individual lodges costly banners and rel.

Water COMPANY.

A tock-holder in the Big Stone Gap
Water Company has this to say:
'Thc dam at the head Of the water
works on South Fork, six miles above Big
Stone Gap, and above any possible source
of contamination, has been put in; very
large quantity of the pipe has been de-
livercd here, and much of it hauled to
place and laid in the trenches, so you will
see the work is progressing satisfactorily,
and our people will have water supply
this spring or at least before the summer
heat renders our we'll water less palatable.
The elevation Of the reservoir is 397 feet
above the town, so system Of water plugs
which will be put in will enable water to
he thrown over any building which may
be erected here. And the excellence of
the work is indicated when the contract
ors arc willing to run the company for six
months to test any imperfections."

Big Stone Gap improvement Company

Big Stone Gap improvement Company
Mr. James W. Fox, director of the I'm
provemcnt Company, who is active in the
conduct Of its affairs, in conversation,
said:
"What our company has done during
the past wear is evident to any one who
looks around. Ithas fathered the furnace,
the electric lights, the water works, and
its officers and friends have backed up the
street railroad, the Interstate Tunnel, the
Building and Investment Company, Noun
tain Park Association, the planning mills,
the brick plant and almost everything
else of public nature that is going. And
except for very serious defect in the or
ganization of our company, which has
diverted very largo per cent OF our
mcaus to other purposes, we would have
twice as much to show. 1t is hoped that
this drawback will he rcmedied during
series of meetings Of the directors,
stockholders and bondholders, which will
be held in New York this month, and then
ready cash and an abundance of it will
enable us TO make giant progress this
year.
81 know of negotiations on hand (of
which l cannot speak as it is thought
they can more easily come to speedy and
successful issue if worked quietly in
volving the expenditure here and here
abouts Of some 10000, 900 or $4,000, 600.
This comes from five different sources,
and if ONLY one succeeds (and the min
imum amount is 81 100000 in that,) it will
put Il great many new enterprises on their
feet, and give us good volume of house
building and general business.
81 think additional assistance should be
given the present management especially
in the way of aid to secure iron and wood
working establishments, and plants OF
whatever kind, and thus give q physical
impetus to Development

now erecting block of six cottages, ms a

think that no plan yet set on foot here
promises more good results to the town, or

Virginia, Carolina and Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company.

A stakeholder in the Virginia Tenn
essee and Carolina Steel and Iron Com
pany said: "1'his company owns 10000
acres of coal, iron and timber lands which
were selected on the judgment of Prof.
Proctor of the Kentucky Geological Sur
ycy, and are probably one of the most
valuable properties in the United States.
We are shipping coal from the mines on
Looney creek, near Big Stone Gap, where
perhaps other developments will follow;
and we are proving our iron ores especially
in North Carolina where o fine showing is
made.
1--WE also own the South Atlantic and
Ohio railroad, which is doing good bust
ness. 4 survey has been made and a
feasible line found, reducing the grade
from Mendoza to Bristol to the maximum
of Is to IS feet no other parts of the line,
so that an engine can 60 through with its
original load This improvement may
soon be made.
"We are also arranging to raise some
English money which will he used in de-
velopment and betterment of the prop
erty, and our lands.
at is true We are also interested in
Bristol, Elizabethton, and the mouth OF
Roan's creek, but as we own nearly one
third of the stock of the Big Stone Gap
Improvement Company you may know il
is to our great advantage to push the de.
yelopment of our town."

Company.
Mr.. Tate Irvine, president, reports the
following: "Our company has secured
very desirable concessions in the way OF
building lots from most of the land COM
psnies, here, and it will be very profitable
to the stockholders to push building ahead
as well as matter of deep interest to the
town. We have closed the contract with
the Improvement Company whereby we
secure one hundred excellent lots in Plat
5, most of them being so feet in width
at the rate Of one hundred dollars per lot
payment on one, two and three years time
thus allowing the use Of all our cash at
present for building purposes. These lots
were scheduled at two or three times thiH
price. The conditions on which the pur-
chase was made are that our company
shall erect cottage on at least one-hali

ing then freed from building restrictions
