Detailed figures of the railroad con.
ntruction work done in tho United
States during the 1rst half of 1897. col
lected by the Railroad Gazette. show
that there has been added during that
period to the country's existing mile
age some 1902 miles OF new road
The inference drawn from these figures
IN connection with other work OF the
same character now In progress OF
contemplated Is that the railroad
building for the year will be equal to
II not greater than that of any OF ths
last three years The same paper
nays: III this proportion is held for
the coming six months the mileage for
the year will be about 2.1s5 miles, and
this will be larger by some rs miles
than that OF last year and will exceed
that Of any year since 1894. But ex-
perience has shown that. as rule.
more railroad is built In the second
half Of the year than in the first. &c
that It is not unreasonable to suppose
that the summary for 1898 will faow
more than 2.200 miles built"
