EXTENDING ROADS
GREAT ACTIVITY IN CONSTRUCTION
 IN SOUTH.
Al Several Points Rivalry Between ComuetluG Lines In Gaining Quick Access To Mineral Fields Is<
 Keen

Baltimore. Feb. 1-(Special)-It it's issue this week, The Manufacturers Record says:
 "Great activity is now being display ed in building railroad extensions into the undeveloped coal fields lying be- tween the Middleshoro and Jellico ais tricts of Kentucky and Tennessee. At several points rivalry between compet- ing lines in gaining access to new helds is keen, and construction work is ceing pushed vigorously where competition acts as an incentive. r,
 "Following the opening of the Clear Fork fields, on the Tennessee side. con struction work is new being started on several lines designed to enter rlch areas of coal cn the Kentucky side The Louisville and Nashville system is be- hind one of these undertakings. the Pine Mountain Railroad, which will be constructed through the coal fields or Bell Knox and Whitley Counties. This line is to be thirty-six miles long. con meeting the Cumberland Valley Divis. ion of the Louisville and Nashville with the Knoxville Division of that company
 The surveys for the Pine Mountain line were made several months ago. The Louisville and Nashville Company Is now preparing to locate supply houses at several points from which construction work wil proceed, and the

project will be pushed rapidly to com

pletion.
 Tn the meantime the projectors of the Cumberland Railroad are pushing work on their extensions, which will enter the coal fields of Knox. Bell and Whitley Counties in a lateral direction from that taken by the Pine Mountain Railroad. This line Is als" to he thir- ty- six miles in extent, beginning from a connection with the Louisville and Nashville line in Knox County and end- ing at Jellico, where the Southern and Louisville and Nashville lines will furnish direct connections with S0uth- ern points of consumption.
 Local contractors are building the extension of the Cumberland Railroad. A large force of men is now at work digging tunnels, grading and laying track, and the line will be completed at the earliset date possible. Cumberland Railroad officials deny any connection with any of the big systems maintain ing that their line is private venture designed solely to open the vast coal fields of Southeastern Kentucky. This line Is backed by Pennsylvania capt- talists. who have extensive interests in the coal fields through. which the rail. road passes.
 The Louisville and Nashville sys- tenn is now engaged in extending two important lines to undeveloped fields along the Kentucky-Tennessee border. From the Chenoa branch, in Bell Cour- ty, Kentucky, extensions are being pushed into the Clear Creek fields. Coal developments in that section are rapid ly assuming importance. On the Ten nessee side the Clear Fork fields, hav- ing no connection with those of the Clear Creek region, were tapped some time ago by line built jointly by the Southern and Louisville and Nashville systems Another extension of i'm portance on the Kentucky side Is the Straight Creek Railroad, being built up the valley of Straight Creek. Bell Coun- ty, by the Louisville and Nashville sys- tenn.
 The great increase in coal tonnage in the Kentucky-Tennessee mountains has made the double tracking of the Louis vile and Nashville lines imperative. A vast amount of money is now being ex- pended on Improvements north Of this city, a great part of the Knoxville Di- vision being double-tra on the Kentucky side and the roadbeds being put in the best possible shape. The Southern Railway has recently made extensive Improvements on It's branch from Knoxville to Middlesboro. in or der to better handle it's coal tonnage.
