DULUTH AND IRON RANGE.

The mileage Of the Duluth and Iron Range Rail
road printed yesterday at 175 miles. should have
read 1s5 miles ten miles having been added in the
last two years. 1t is interesting to note that the
increased mileage has been made without In
crease in the company's bonded debt. the expense
of the new road coming out OF earnings. The first
. per cent bonds OF the company among the
prime investments that are held nv conserva tive
capitalsts 1t IS estimated that the terminals and
equipment of the company are worth rs much as
the whole outstanding bonds. The roads earnir gs
mile are not exceeded by the earnings Of any

sUsoUEHANNA AND WESTERN BONDS.


Heavy buying of the general mortgage per cent
bonds Of the New-York. Susquehanna and western
Railroad was a feature in yesterdays bond market
The price gained 2z points, closing at ssh III -
pointed out by bond experts that these bonds ouSht
sell well above par. and more 'evel win
the Terminal 5s of the company. which are
quoted at ia. The Terminal bonds. amounting TO
81 100000, absolute first mortgage on the ex-
tensve terminal property. including three miles or
road with a tunnel under the Palisades opposite
Nirety-sixth-st. The property is valued far in ex-
cess OF the mortgage. and the company's general
mortgage 5s therefore possess additional value as
a lien upon the terminal property. as well as being
a general mortgage upon the Susquehanna Kali
road. The issue OF general IS amounts to SSW0OoO
of which S2547.O00 is outstanding. The prominence
of the bonds in yesterdays market was due to buy
ing by important financial interests. who were also
heavy buyers Of Erie issues. The New-York. Sus-
quehanna and Western is owned by the Erie, and
under Erie management 1T has made rapid progress
in the way of improvements and in earnings, the
surplus last year above all charges amounting 70
