valleys. Experts of the Consolidated
Gas company of Pittsburg have made
tests, and they declare the yeild for gas
is very large.
The organizers of the big scheme
however, regard their greatest ad-
vantage as their distance to the lake
side, away from the congested Pittsburg
district. They say that over the
Bessemer they will be able to ship
much faster and with greater economy.
Their projected line to New Castle will
give them connection with almost all OF
the important roads OF Eastern Ohio,
including the Pittsburg 81 Western.
Lake Shore, Buffalo, Rochester & Pitts
burg and Erie, and into evely import.
ant mill centre. The company will
also enjoy the advantage OF the i'm
mense fleet Of iron ore steamers con-
tinually making Conneaut Harbor its
unloading point, and will give it
splendid opportunities to reach the
markets of the Northwest.
During the early days OF the Pennsyl-
vania President Edgar Thompson con
ceiyed the idea of relieving the main
line into Pitteburg by building short
cut from Red Bank, on the Low Grade
division of the Allegheny Valley, TO
New Castle. He declared that i'm
mense advantage wonld follow the con.
struction of that line, principal OF
which was the relief of the then con-
gested Pittsburg yards. He also de.
clared that freight could be handled
much more cheaply oyer the Low
Grade from the Philadelphia 81 Erie at
Driftwood than over the mountainous
main line. He was supported in his
contention by David McCargo and
later by G. b. Price, but before the
scheme could be put into execution
President Thompson died and President
Roberts refused later to revive it, 1t IL
now believed that the new line under
| independent auspices will prove an i'm
portant factor in freight east and west
bound
The stock OF the new company is held
by strong people and it will begin
operations without debt Of any kind.
