New Railroad Incorporated.

The Arkansas Mineral and Coal Railway Company has been reincor- porated, the new articles providing for the construction of a longer line than did the papers filed some time ago. Under the new articles it is proposed to build a road from Hart ford, Sebastian county, to Harri- son, Boone county, distance of 175 miles, while the plans of the former corporation were for line only for ty miles long between Hartford and Dyer. The new company is capital ized at $1,25O,0OO. The counties through which the road will pass are Sebastian, Crawford, Franklin, Johnson, Newton and Boone, ter ritory into which few railroads have entered. Many of the corporators are residents of these counties. It is thought, however, on account of the extension of the plans that the company is backed by one of the larger systems.
