THE Way TO GET AT 1.-THE TdtS5
Rtgister last week gave an estimate OF tho
farm produce that railroad would haul ont
of the Valley, to which it added lime, fert
lizcrs and merchandise hauled INTO the Val
ley, the total footing up more than eighteen
! thousand tons. So far as the items named
20, the statement is probably as accurate az
need be- bu, when such considerable items
rs timber (hickory and poplar) charcoal
, f,ints, iron ore and live stock are left out o
the estimate, we can see how far short i,
falls we heicyc that the tonnage would be
at least 10000 ana should it get the benefit q
Catoctin Furnaces in blast ten months cacl
wear, this railroad would find At the lowest
60. 900 tons Of freight pass over its tracks,
This is no fancltul, or wilfully exaggerated
estimate, made to attract attention and fal
when the first test Of examination comes
Assuming that the total given in tho Yale,
Register is proper for the items named there
in, we may add for item of poplar wood alone
1000 tons and if the iron ores that have
been leased are worked even to the extent O
one carload day, we add 1000 tons, whlcl
lcayes the fiut, live stock and timber trails
posts, charcoal or railroad ties) to accoun
for but very few tons to bring it up to 80,
600. Then let CatOctin Furnaces haul 81
tons of iron out and IS tons of coke daily, tt
say nothing of ore, limestone and cinders,ant
be in blast 300 days each year and you have
more than another 10000, to which may b'
added the produce of the mineral belt, mag
netic, specuar and hcmatite ores and flint
extending from Catoctin Furnaces almost o
Yellow Springs, if you would have the gros
tonnage of Middlctown Valley Railroad
coming over the mountains and taking tn
upncr route to I u w. NJ H. Il.
