S., Oct 19-0 Catchall, S. C. SOUTHERN COAL FIELDS. What is Doing in Eastern Kentucky -The Railroad Lines Interested -Millions Spent on Short Lines. By the extension of the Chesapeake & Ohio Raillroad from White House to Elkhorn City, in eastern Kentucky, there has been opened to development an entirely new and vast field of the best steam and coking coal unsur? passed in Pennsylvania or anywhere, and there has also been made possi? ble all the activities which usually ac? company railroad construction into a country heretofore isolated and unde? veloped, but rich in timber and other resouces. The conditions here are of large commercial significance, and are interesting from every point of view. Tims writes Albert Phenis from Pikeville, Ky., in the Manufacturers' Record. "In the remarkably accelerated de? velopment of the West Virginia coal fields there has been a notable rail? way construction, both of branch roads and new lines. Here in this section there is seen the more extra? ordinary spectacle of $4,000,000 being spent on a road but 76 miles in length, whose construction at this time was brought about almost sole? ly as a feature of the development of a coal field from which not one pound of coal has as yet ever been shipped. "It is easy to believe that all the roads of the south would like to get into the Elkhorn coal fields, and there is plausibility in the project announc? ed having that end in view. Without now taking up each case separately and in detail, it may be stated as al? together in keeping with the logic of the situation and in harmony wdth surface indications that the syndicate which has bought the Carter inter? ests in che South & Western road, in operation between Johnson City, Tenn., and Spruce Pine, N. C., to? gether with the Clinchfield coal prop? erties, will carry out the Carter plans of building On through the Breaks of the Sandy in one direction, and in the other to a connection with the Sea? board Air Line at some point in North Carolina. "Thus there would be secured to the Seaboard the great advantage of access to the Elkhorn coal field and to the cities of the north, and, through connections with the Chicago, Hamil? ton & Dayton, Detroit, Toledo & Iron ton (formerly Detroit Southern,) Erie and Big Four roads, a new and most direct trunk line would be establish? ed between Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburg and other cities of the middle west and the Caroli? nas, Georgia and Florida. "The activities of the various inter? ests which promise at least a consid? erable construction of road to develop not only the Elkhorn fields, but those of Wise, Dickinson, Buchanan and other counties across the border in Virginia, are. significant as showing the wide extent of the present interest in southern coal lands."
