ence Is. Of course, mere guess work. If
FINANCIAL conditions should remain as
unfavorable as they have been for sew
cral years many legitimate undertake
ings would continue to be deferred and
1t would be surprising If 1000 miles of
track were laid in 1896. But IL, as now
seems probable, the times are going to
steadily improve, 1t is not unlikely that
1000 miles or more may be completed,
and that work will be commenced on as
much more.
That there Is yet much railroad build
ing to be done the records prove beyond
doubt. When 1t will be done depends
upon conditions yet to be developed. A
considerable amount of work is already
under way. During the first three
months of this year 253 miles of track
were laid on twenty lines, and includ-
ing these our books already show sixty
lines on which II seems reasonably cer-
tain that 1850 miles of track will have
been laid by the end of 1896, with a pos
sibility Of much more. 1t all depends
on the times-not on the question of find
ing room or of demand for more roads.

started out Monday to make the work.

This line, extending back as 1T does
toward the main line, is probably the
beginning of another loop. If 1t were
built ten or twelve miles further from
Lake View it might pass through Mo-

The preliminary surveys have been

The Prospects for Road Building
for 1896
SOME FACTS AND FIGURES
Much to Be Done Yet Without Much
Doubt
But When It Will Be Done Depends Upon
Conditions Yet to Be DeveIoped-Pros.
poets Considered Good

For eight years the mileage of annual
railway construction in the United
states has been steadily decreasing.
from nearly $4,000 miles Of track laid
IN the wonderful year of 1887 the totals
have gone down by hundreds and thous-
ands, until 1895 touched the lowest round
Tor twenty years by adding only 1903
miles to our railway system. But this
does not mean that the demand for rail-
ways Is nearly supplied and that con-
struction Will continue to decrease. On
the contrary, says that valuable journal,
the Railway Age and Northwestern
Railroader, in a recent issue, there Is
room and will be need for additions far
greater than the entire present mileage
or the country We have now something
over 1S1, 900 miles Of road. To equal Great
Britain In it's ratio of railway mileage to
square miles of territory we should have
a total of $4,000 miles; to equal the
abundant supply of Illinois we must
have 522,0 900 miles; while If Massachu-
setts, with its mile of railway to every
four square miles Of territory be the
standard, the United States will eventu-
ally boast of 772,000 miles of lines.
The falling off In actual railroad build
ing In the last few years has been the
result of temporarily unfavorablr
financial conditions and not of a cessa-
tion of demand. On the contrary, an i'm
mense mileage of new roads was pro-
Jected and desired all through the hard
times. as the yearly records of the Rail
way Age have borne witness. At the be-
ginning of last year, following on the
heels of disastrous panic, we published
list OF 3l3 railroad enterprises under
contract, surveyed and Incorporated" I"
aggregating 20,500 miles, although there
were carefully excluded therefrom
many old enterprises of former years
which had shown no recent signs of life
and innumerable corporations of which
no definite information had been secured
aggregating thousands of miles more.
Today the uncompleted and unbegun en-
terprises on our books aggregate from
10000 to 10000 miles, and every day adds
to the list of new projects. From this,
mass of prospective and possible mile
age we have selected and give elsewhere
in this issue a list of roads upon which
construction has been commenced or
which seem to give promise of early coIL-
mencement. Summarized. this list
shows 2O5 lines, lying in AZ states and
territories and contemplating over 1O.-
900 miles of road, as follows:

1t will be seen that every one of the
forty-eight states and territories ex-
cept little Rhode Island is credited with
one new line or more upon which work
has been commenced or is expected to
begin in the near future. The largest
figures in the list are from that portion
of the country where the aborigines still
endeavor to stem the tide of modern pro-
gress-lndian territory and Oklahoma
in which 1856 miles of new road are seri-
ously contemplated. The states next
on the list in point of milage are Texas
8OS miles. West Virginia 63S miles, Ar
