ANOTHER EXTENSION
Of BIO LINES IN OHIO.
A CONNECTING LINK PROJECTED
BETWEEN POWHATAN AND
PIEDMONT
About Forty-eight Miles of Track,
Connecting With the C. l.. d W.,
and Furnishing Splendid Faciii-
ties for Handling the Lake Coal
and Ore Trade-ExcelIent Author
ity for the Statement.

That the B. & o. will soon build
new piece of road on the Ohio side is
now no longer in doubt, from a state
ment made bye one OF the officials to
the county auditors appraisement
meeting. The official stated where the
road would be built. Also the matter
has been brought to the notice of the
Belmont county commissioners. All
the authority of this new move of the
B. & o. is reliable.
This road has for a long time want
ed a direct route to the lakes for their
coal, which they receive from West
Virginia, and also the Ohio product.
The latter will soon be largely in
creased, as it is well understood the
recent coal territory bought south and
west of Bellaire in Belmont and Mon
roe counties will be developed imme-
diately.
This new line starts at Powhatan
Point, fifteen miles south of Bsllaire.
on the river. 1t will follow Captina
creek for some distance and will pass
Alledonia and on to Bethesda, where it
will cross the present line known as
the old Central Ohio. The line from
| here will be slightly northwest, passing
west of Morristown and east of Hen
drysburg, following the Saltwater
creek, about five miles west of Flush
ing, on the c., l.. & w, and down to
Piedmont Station, on the c., L. & W.,
where they will connect with this line.
The grade of the road will be very
moderate and not near so heavy as that
OF the c., l.. & w. to this point This
new route will open up to the =. e O.'s
immense coal fields, and while con-
neculng with the c., L. & w, it will
give each road such ample facilities
that they can easily gain control of the
coal trade for the lakes, and also
large portion of the ore trade. The
B. & 0. has been making many sur
veys, but this has been considered the
best. AS to crossing the river at Pow
hatan, nothing definite has yet been
given out, and it is said this extern
sion will not be definitely settled until
the company finishes the survey they
are now making on. the West Virginia
side, where there have been numerous
surveys in the past few years.
he new line in Belmont county will
do away with the heavy grade be-
tween Bellaire and GAINESVILLE, which
