Steel Rails
For some years metal lies have been
used on certain European railways, and
in the United States their employment
has been considered by a few OF the
principal railroad companies for 10 or %
wears at least. the frat tests of ,hern
here having been mad. n LONG 4ti,ne ,pn
The enjoyment of a. large and cheap sup
ply of wooden ties has here findared the
development OF n. market for stee,f ties
but the makers Of rails and Industrial
steel are preparing for the day-believed
by some to be near at hand--when rush
orders for steel ties Will begin, to, flow
m ana TINS Notwithstanding their large
lirst Cost, because BY reason of their
durapiiliy tneS would long outiast WOODEN

maintenance, AS tor the cost OF the new

Tor them may be quickly oomprehended.
Assuming that not more than one-quarter
OF the steam railroad mileage IN the
unlted states would, IN the comparative

would be over 5000 miles to be supplied
at Il total cost OF at least from s22o,W.C0O
