BLACK DIAMOND RAILROAD.
Scheme Feasible and [Practical-Col. Boone
a Benefactor, not a Visionary.
MB. EDITOR: Col. Boone assigna no leas than fifteen re;>.s;>us why the
Black Diamond Road proposed by him oan and will be built. It is not my
purpose to try to add to their clearness and force. They ought to be sufficient
for any unprejudiced mind that will stop to consider the faots. Instead of
considering these, we are met with the profound statement, "Col. Boone is
visionary."
I am not a railroad promoter, am not visionary iu my ideas, and am uo
dreamer, but I can read and reach my own conclusions from facts stated. Let
mc present some facts for thc consideration of those who are not prejudiced
iu their minds against Col. Boone :
First. Let ?B take Knoxville, Tenn., as a starting point, and go over thc
Southern R. R. via Chattanooga to Atlanta, Ga., thence over thc Southern to
Spartanburg, S. C., thence over the Southern to Asheville, N. C., thence over
tho Southern to Morristown, Tenn., thence to Knoxville. This takes you
around a territory nearly as large as the State of South Carolina, embracing
parts of the territory of South? Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and
Georgia without railroad facilities. A section abounding in minerals, with
rich and fertile valleys, and mountain slopes covered with primeval forests.
It may bc justly Baid to be "God's Country." Around this clime, so favored
by nature, the Southern Railway Company has drawn its trocha. If you want
to reach the coast you may go all thc way round over the Southern, but you
cannot cross it. The mau who attempts to invade this territory is a reconcen
trado, or a "visionary." Grant that Col. Boone is a "schemer," a "visionary."
If ho outs the barbed wires of selfishness, that will neither enter nor suffer
any one else to enter this territory and give the people a railroad, ho will have
proved to his enemies that ho is a public benefactor, despite all their sneers.
Suppose Col. Boone succeeds with his roads and builds say 1587 miles, reach
ing from Duluth to Port Royal, S. C., how will his system compare with the
Louisville & Nashville system ? Let us place these side by side :
LOUISVILLE & NASHVILLE.
Cincinnati & Louisville. 110 miles.
Louisville to Nashville. 186 miles.
Nashville to New Orleans. 625 miles.
Memphis J. to Memphis. 259 miles.
St. Louis to Nashville.... 320 miles.
Louisville to Lexington. 94 miles.
Other Branches.1590 miles.
Total.3184
LIST OF BLACK DIAMOND COMPANIES
That makes up the line from Duluth, Minn., via Springfield, 111., Vincennes,
Ind., Vevay, Ind., Cynthiana, Ky., Knoxville, Tenn.. Franklin, N.C.,
Clayton, Ga., and Anderson, S. C., to the Seacoast
at Port Royal, South Carolina.
The Duluth, Wisconsin & South Atlantio (Wisconsin). 325 miles.
Tho Duluth, Springfield & South Atlantic (Illinois). .. 190 miles.
Use tracks Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, Springfield, 111., to
Vincennes, Ind. (Illinois). 161 miles.
The Springfield, Ohio River dc South Atlantio (Indiana).175 miles.
The Ghent, Cynthiana & Tidewater (Kentucky). 225 miles.
The Ohio River, Knoxville & Tidewater (Tennessee). 130 miles.
The Ohio River, Franklin & Tidewater (North Carolina) . 77 miles.
The Ohio River, Clayton & Tidewater (Georgia). 20 miles.
The Ohio River, Anderson & Tidewater (South Carolina). 284 miles.
Total. ...._.1587 miles.
Whose maximum grade will not emceed sixty-six feet to the mile.
There are other linea contemplated by Col. Boone to be added to these,
making 2690.
Now, there has been a great deal written on this subject, but I will try, as
far as possible, to abstain from threshing over the old straw. The Louisville
& Nashville operates in some of the States through which it is proposed to
operate the Black Diamond, but it does not reach into the granaries of the
great Northwest, at Duluth and Chicago at one end, nor reach tidewater at the
other, with a deep water port like Port Royal. It does not reaoh through the
great forests of hard wood in Tennessee and North Carolina, nor through the
heart of the great coal fields of Kentucky and Tennessee, marble belts and
j mineral sections of Tennessee and North Carolina, like ?ho B. D. will do when
built. So far as territory is concerned, any one can see that the environment,
so to speak, of the B. D. wi?! be far superior to the L. & N.
Again, it must be noticed that the L. & N. is a single traok road with
heavy grades. Recently the report of August Belmont, chairman of its
Board of Directors, was made public through the Manufacturers' Record and
Nashville American, showing the gross earnings of that system for the year
ending in June, 1898, to be $22,000,000. After paying all expenses the net
earnings amounted to $7,100,000. That ia five per cent, on $142,000,000.
If the 187,000 miles of railroad in the United States, as given by some
statisticians, cost $10,566,865,771, making the average cost per mile for con
struction and equipment $59,618, then it would not be an exaggeration to put
the oost of the L. & N. road at $45,000 per mile. If after its experience in
handling freights on high grades it saw the wisdom of appropriating about a
quarter of million of money to reduce its grades, then why should Col. Boone
be characterized asa visionary for proposing to double-track his road with a
low grade at the inception ? Hore is a large corporation learning by experi
ence from year to year, and improving their lines at heavy cost, adding mod
ern improvements to their equipment, and when Col. Boone proposes to profit
by the mistakes of others, and avail himself of the practical experience of
shrewd railroad men, he is "visionary." Did not the L. & N. undertake to
double-track their road a few years ago, realizing the mistake that had been
made at the beginning? Is the experience of others in building railroads
worth anything ? Is material hardor to get than formerly ? Is money scarcer ?
Second. 1 submit that it is just as easy for a competent architect to plan
for a large house as it is for a small ono ; just as easy for a railroad promoter
to plan for a large one as it is for a small line. It may take a longer time and
more money to complete the one than the other. All things are great or small
relatively. For me to build a $5,000 house would, perhaps, be a great under
taking, but it would be too insignificant a thing for a Vanderbilt or an Astor
to consider or notice. The business experience of mon with large capital, as
shown by recent purchases of Government bonds, for example, is that capital
ists prefer to invest in large first-class securities, rather than have it scattered
around ia second or third rate securities. It is less trouble and expense for
him to look after it. Every sensible man knows it is easier to keep a first
class machine going than a third-rate one. The natural oommon sense of the
Amerioan people demands of the Government the building of the very best
battle ships, armed with the best guns; propelled by the best machinery, about
which- there can be no doubts, and manned by the bebt men of the navy.
Any man who has $20,000,000 *vhich he proposed to ipvest in railroad
securities would want to know (1) that the road was in a good section of the
country ; (2) that it had facilities for handling its business with economy and
dispatch ; (3) that the country was oapable of furnishing the road an adequate
business, so as to pay all the running expenses, neoessarv repairs and interest
on his investment. I submit that Col. Boone's road will meet every one of
these conditions.
Now, what is the use of piddling on this matter ? If the road is a com
mercial necessity to the West and the South, get out of the way and let it be
built. It is not necessary to the North aud East, but as it will deflect teaffic
those sections will oppose it. Have they not opposed any appropriations!
tc~*rd~ building ??> o?uiueru ports r Did they not decry the battleship
Texas because she was built at Newport News ? Did they nut oppose any
appropriation for the Dry Dock at Port Royal ? To make their opposition
more glaring did not they have one of our largest battleships taken to a for
eign Dry Dook to create the impression that the Dry Dook at Port Royal was
not safe ?
If the building of the Blaok Diamond is to help develop the country ; if
it is to give employment to thousands of laboring men ; if it will enhance the
value of real property ; if it will cheapen transportation of breadstuff's, giv
ing the people acoess to the markets of the world, then, in the name of hu
manity, let Col. Boone build the road.
Third. The Blaok Diamond system is to reaoh Duluth. I do not know
that Col. Boone saw an article that appeared in the North Ameritan Review
about a year ago. I have not the article by mo, and, therefore, 1 have to
depend upon my memory fer some of the ideas suggested'. The writer pointed
ont the danger of competition to American wheat with Russian wheat in the
markets of Europe on the completion of the great trans-Siberian railway
across RnsBia to Vludivostook. American rails are being shipped to complete
that road. He called attention to the fact that Northern capitalists were
abont to invest $500,000,000 to open a great steam canal to New York, so as
to give New York absolute control of the commerce of the great Northwest.
While thinking that scheme was unwise, he made these suggestions: "We
must perfect a short, low grade railroad from Chicago to New Yprk harbor,
upon which the agricultural products of the far Wost can be carried at a cost
so low that we can deliver our own breai
nation can meet." Again : -'Measures
