+. Kerr Efolliott returned yesterday
from Pikeville, KY, whittier he went
in company with Mr.. Harloe and Mr..
@. E. HELLER, Boston capitalists, who
are interested in the Kentucky coal
fields and in the construction OF the
3-C's road.
The party went on horseback from
Big Cut across Cumberland mountains
a distance OF more than sixty miles.
1t was Mr.. Harloe's first visit to this
section, and he expressed himself as
very much pleased with 1t. The pic
turesque scenery was charming to his
Boston trained eye, and the immense
wealth of timber, coal and iron ore
which he saw were a revelation to him.
Although he had read CT our wonder
full resources, it was not like seeing
them, and if he brought any cold
water to throw on our resources he
kept it concealed and did not make
use Of it.
Both Mr.. HELLER and Mr.. Harloe
have valuable coal and timber lands
in the neighborhood of Pikeville, and
they are there inspecting and paying
taxes on the same.
They are encouraged with the future
prospect, and believe that further con
struCtion on the Sos is not distant.
A cooperation among iron makers
and coal and coke producers ought to
prove efficient in the plan to complete
the road from the Kentucky coal fieldl
TO Johnson City. The interests OF cap
ital invested in all those valuable re
sources hinge on this one point. TX
