The Black Diamond RaiIrOad-..COI.
BOOne's Great Scheme.

nUoue'S UIohO SClictHeo
The indefatigablo Col. Albert e.
Boone, who for some years has been
engaged in promoting the building
of double track trunk line of rail-
road from Cincinnati to Charleston
or somo other port on the Atlantic
ocean, has by no means abandoned
that difficult, but very important en-
terprise. The details of the vast
scheme in which Col. Boone has in
terested many cities and counties in
tho Middle West, have been pub
lished in the Courier and are familiar
to the railroad men Of the country.
According to the Cincinnati En-
quirer famous English engineer is
uow inspecting Col. Bopne's road,
with a view to advising bis friends
at home whether or not to put their
money into it. The following is
from the Enquirer
"Sir Thomas Selby Tancred, baro-
net, the distinguished English rail-
way engineer and expert, left the
Grand Hotel last night for Cynthi-
ana, Ky, accompanied by the Hon.
William Kirkby, ex-railroad COM
missioner of Ohio, and tho Hon. r..
Q. Dickenson, of Washington, d. c.,
to start in upon thorough inspec-
ton of the Black Diamond Rail
road surveys, profles, franchises,
rights of way and tributary resources
at the instance of British capitalists,
who propose backing the project if
the report is favorable. The party
will work up to. Dover, Ky, spend
Sunday there, Monday at Ripley,
Ohio, thence to West Union and
other points, reaching Columbus
next Sunday week. Then they will
return to Cincinnati and 60 over the
Indiana work, thence upon the mai.
line from Mount Sterling, Ky,
through Jellico Narrows to the OBJ
jcctive point of the route, Port
Royal, S. c., the finest harbor on the
coast, with fourteen miles of sixty
foot water at the wharfa. The line
as surveyed is 1,20U miles long, and
the company will cndeavor to i'm
press the inspecting engineer with
the Importance of recommending
the building of double track, which,
they believe, tho traffic will album
dainty justify. Sir Thomas Selby
Tancred is one of the most renowned
railroad engineers and builders in
tho world. He built all the railroads
i'll New Zealand, the first seventy
miles of the Delago Bay Railroad in
South Africa, since extended 400
miles through the Transvaal, several
lines in Great Britain, some in Aus
tralia, part of the Tchuantepec
Trans~Contiucntal line in Mexico,
and upon his recommendation, after
examination last April, the White
Pass and Yukon Railway of Alaska,
from Skagua to Lake Bennett, is
now being built over what was re-
gnrdcd as unsurmountablc obstacles.
The firm of Tancrcd, Arrol & Co.
built the great bridge over the Forth
at Edinburgh, Scotland, the grandest
structure of the kind in tho world
to-day, which was completed in 1889
after five years work and at cost of
$15,000,00O."
