I Cot. Jame* 31. Latimer, President of the Sa vannah Valley Railroad : Ciu-I herewith submit, assupplemcntary to my report or tho 8th July, a report of further Operations of the Engineer Corps on preliminary surveys and approximate est!* - mates of cost of different linea surveyed, together with maps, prollleaaiid full details, on which estimate-*, ?c., are based. By resolution of the Board of Directora, I have made, since your hv.t meeting, a sur vey of what is known as tho Double Bridge line. This line diverge.", from the emin lino about eighteen miles from Anderson, along the ridge between Wilson's Creek and Long Branch, to a point nearly opposite Mr. Sutherland'*, thence across Long Drench by Mr. Burden's und Theodore Kennedy's, ?along the ridge between Long Branch and 'harlie's Creek,) crossing .Charlie's Creek near its mouth, passing Lowndesvile .85 of j a mlle from thc centre Of tho town, (the western line will pass .50 of a mile from ita centre), crossing Rocky River about one mile above Young'H mill, and uniting with the matti line near Mr. Bolln Allen's. (Sse .supplement "A" for details and comparative estimates of this line with multi line wost Of Lowndcsville.) 1 also, by instructions, embodied in rame resolution, i?udo u reconuobsunce of the country from Mt. Moria. 6) miles from An derson, to Lowndesville by way of tho Cant well Institute, M Uh the view of passing tl.e linc down the Wilson's Creek and Rocky River ridge, by way of the Carswcll Insti tute, ana across tho valley of Wilson's Creek and Long Branch to ?no intersection of the Double Bridge linc near .Theodore Kennedy's. It would be impracticable (without increased cost of construction over tho lince already surveyed) to build a road on this route ; it would ho no shorter, and iii its operation/ on account of the rise and fall lu the grades, would be longer. The country from Anderson by way of Carswcll to the crees roads at Bolto Allen's, crossing Rocky] R(vcr" east of ; Wilson's Creek, is similar in its character to that which hus been surveyed from Anderson to the sumo point by way of the Double Bridge, and it is very doubtful whether a shorter or cheaper lino can bu lind than the line surveyed. (I refer you to supplement marked "D" for detailed information on this point, and also to other routes which have been proposed.) 1 would present for your consideration a fourth line, which I have culled the "com bined linc." This route is composed of the Trickem lino from Hester's quarters to a point near Anderson's Creek, crossing thence to the Kennedy line near McCos Ian's, and on. tho Kennedy line to Ken nedy's, io. & A. R. R. Something over ono milo ol this line has not been instrument ally examined, but sufficient examination has been made to determine its cost. This route is two-thirds of a mile vborter than tho Kennedy line, and near tho same esti mated cost of construction.. On a location it can be mudo ona nillo shorter than the Kennedy line, and the shortest distance from Anderson to Tabor; (See supplement "B" for detailed character of this Hue.) Tho value of ono milo of distance saved to the perpetual operation of a railroad de pends oh tho amount of ?ruffle passing over ft. It is assumed, as done by former Engi neers, for this Road; at $30.000"per mlle, und tho comparative estimates based on that. These estimates have been made for a Road oft liva feet'gauge ; maximum grade of GO ifect per telle, and a minimum curva turo of-055 feet radius ; iron, GO pounds per yard ; approved joint fastenings ; 2,040 cross ties per mlle. The question of gauge is a matter of vast importance in view or tho facts devekced by the workings of thc twp systems. The narrow gauge system '(generally 3 feet in the United States) is but of comparatively recent dato. The first locomotive being put on the Featlniog Railway (23J inches width of gauge) in wales lu 1863. Tho wonder ful success of this venture hus induced other companies to adopt a narrower gaugo Utan the standard (4ft. olin.), and invaria bly; hos tho ionovatl&n proved, a success. Tho following facts, In reference to tho narrow gauge, are not denied : 1. The Road can be built cheaper on \be same location, and be equally as ijlUcient ns the broad road. 2. Its peculiarities render a lino of road. Eossible, where the broad gauge is imprac cablc. O C. ? 3. It ia capable of doing nil tho work yet demanded of any broad gaugo lino. 4. It can maintain the same rate of speed ] when necessary. - ] 5. The stability of tho engines and cars ls enual to that of the broi l gauge, and in traversing curves there is less disposition to leave the track. 6. The passenger cara are commodious, and comfortable, and may be as luxuriantly fitted as those on tho broad gauge. 7. Goods cnn be hauled for 25 per cent, less than on a competing broad gauge line. Tho only objection to this System is, that thc cara can not be run over the broad gauge, road, and consequently their contents moat be loaded into other cara at the end ot the read, when clio connecting road is of n dif ferent gaugo. This seemingly serious dif ficulty ls, when investigated, not so objec tionable us might be expected. What does it cost to transfer goodar In Great Britain, 2 pence lier tod ; on tho Canada frontier, 5 cents per ton; on the Denver and Rio Grande Rood, with labor at two dollars per day, the cost of handling coal, lumber, iron, dec., ls 10 cents per ton-miscellaneous mer chandize, 15 cents per ton. The average coat of transportation or freight may be taken at li per mile per ton on the wido roads; but on ibo narrow, roads it is found that wo van transport zo per cent, cheafper in actual expenses. Thus it will be found that, even on so short a road si yours, and assuming that it would cost SO cents per ton to transfer freight, your actual expenses would still be 15 per cent less than those of the wide road. Oar people, so long accustomed to the site ui tho roiling stock of tho wide roads, are apt to view with contempt the diminutive cara and engines of tho narrow road ; but this ls ouly prejudice, and not a business view of the matter. If a ?maller outlay for means of transportation ls sutllclcnt, why make the larger? (Reference is had to supplement "K" for estimates of a narrow guage road.) In conclusion, allow ino to extend to you my thanks for tho uniform courtesy and many attentions received from you since my connection with your company, and also to my assistante for their prompt and efficient co-operation in tho work of thesurvoy.
