little while longer the line will be COM
pleted to Elkhorn, Ky.
Thomas F. Ryan is back of the
South and Western. He is the owner
of controlling interest in the Sea :
board Air Line. The South aud West
ern spells Seaboard Air Line, which
means that this old north and south
road is getting into the richest coal
fields of the world. Associated with
Ryan are John B. Dennis aud James
A. Blair, of the banking house of Blair
and Company, of New York; Alfred
Walter, who IS president of the Sea-
board Air Line; Thomas Jefferson
Coolidge, of Boston; Norman B. Rsam,
of Chicago, and others almost equally
we'll known in the world of finance
The interests in the control of the
South and Western also own 100000
acres OF coal lands iu Wise, Dickenson,
Russell and Buchanan counties, Vir-
ginia, the titles being held by the
Clinchfeld Coal Company and other
subsidiary companies.
George l.. Carter, OF Bristol, Vir-
ginia-Tennessee, is the visible head of
the South and Western. He may not
have originated the scheme of getting
into these coal fields by entering from
the south, but he has developed it, and
made it certain that this route will be
the one used more than any other, for
there can be little doubt that eventu.
ally more coal will be going south over
the South and Western and Seaboard
Air Line than will be going east or
west over the Norfolk and Western or
Tidewater, possibly the former road
will carry more than the last two COM
bined. There is much less competi
ton south than east and west.
Mr.. Carter, although better known
now as tinancler, started life as 9
practical railroad builder, and execut-
ed many large contracts in railroad
construction before he became stal
in the financial armament. That this
star has reached its zenith none who
know Carter can believe.
Meanwhile, keep an eye on the South
and Western. 1t is railroad unique
among the roads of this country, be
cause Of the enormous difficulties at
tending its construction; because it il
the only road in a mountainous coun
try which is level SO far as the eye cal
determine without the use of an instru
ment, and because it will be the onl,
great north and south coal carrying
road of great Importance in the United
States. Its completion will mean
great deal, not only to the section t.
be developed, but to the manufactur
ers, large and small, and to other con
sumers of semi -bituminous coal al
g over the South.

the road is cut through solid rock, and
this is true not only with reference to
the tunnels, but also of the side cuts
high up on the mountain side, some
times half mile from the valley.
Yet Notwithstanding the enormous
difficulties the engineers had to over
come in achieveing it, the maximum of
grade of one half Of one per cent has
been obtained. This is said to be with
out parallel among railroads in the
world constructed in a mountainous
country. The maximum curvature is
six degrees, with the exception of four
curves of about eight degrees on the
line down the Blue Ridge, in North
Carolina. In that section, just south
of Spruce Pine, there are eighteen tun-
nels in fourteen miles, and the course
of the road is so tortorous that two
points within rife shot of each other
are reached over line OF twenty miles
of track. This is also said to be with
ont parallel in the matter of tortuour-
ity, if that be good word.
The road is to be extended from
ElkhOrn, KY, through Virginia, Ten
nessee and North Carolina, to Spar
tansburg, s. G. At present, however,
it is contemplated to construct it only
to Bostic, N. G, from Fink, Va where
the line crosses the Clinch Valley di-
vison of the Norfolk and Western The
line from johnson City, Tenn, to
Bostic, sixty-fve miles, is already in
operation.
The line extends from Elkhorn, KY,
on the Chesapeake aud Ohio, and pro.
ceeds due south to Fink, on the Nor
folk and Western, distance of fifty
miles. The line crosses the Norfolk
and Western at Fink aud follows the
valley of Clinch River in southwesterly
direction to the little town of Clinch
port, near which is located mile post
85, the distance from Elkhorn. The
Virginia aud Southwestern is crosse
here, and the line turns sharply to the
southeast aud proceeds thus to John
son City. Tenn where it connects
with the sixty i've mile line in opera
tion to Spruce Pine.

three miles southeast of Clinchport
