The great reason why this Ferrara road should and will be built is, that a new coal-road to this city is becoming an abso- lute necessity. One road, the Hocking Valley, even if it should have a double track, as is contemplated and expected, can not supply the increasing demand. Already the coal-carrying roads in operation from Columbus are distributing that mineral faster than it can be supplied. Other roads of the same character are about starting into existence, as the Mt. Vernon, the Toledo, and others. To Toledo, the prospect is that we may soon have two roads to supply the towns along each of the routes with coal. One of these may be built under the auspices of the Hocking Valley, and the other under the wing of the Bee Line. At all events, there will shortly be at least one new road in the direc- tion of Toledo, and one that will require a large amount of coal for distribution to the North and Northwest.
The Hocking Valley road has been a successful and prosper- ous enterprise; it is already beginning to make large dividends

to its stockholders for their investments. Not only so, but it has contributed immensely to the growth and prosperity of our city. For these things, and for the ability and sagacity with which the company has managed its affairs, it deserves high commendation.
But, notwithstanding all this, it is necessary for the interests of our citizens, and for the future development of Columbus, as a great manufacturing and trade-center, that no single road or company should have an exclusive monopoly in the transporta- tion of mineral products, on which those interests and that man- ufacturing and trade must depend for existence. Even if one road could do all the business required in bringing coal and ores to this point, it would be unsafe to suffer it to enjoy a mo- nopoly of the business. But the Hocking Valley manifestly can not supply the demand. Besides, the new projected mineral road will not come in direct competition with the Hocking Valley road. It will penetrate the great coal and mineral field in an- other direction, and draw its supplies from another quarter of that field. Both roads will have plenty of work to make them both profitable; for with an increasing supply, we may rely upon it there will come an increasing demand.
The certificate of incorporation of the Columbus, Ferrara and Mineral Railway Company was filed in the office of the secretary of state, August 22, 1871. Capital stock, $500,000.
OFFICERS .- The officers of the company are: E. T. Mithoff, president; R. C. Hoffman, vice-president; James Watson, sec- retary; A. C. Hanes, treasurer; John B. Gregory, chief engi- neer; executive committee, Henry Miller, John G. Mitchell, and T. Ewing Miller ; directors, E. T. Mithoff, Henry Miller, William Monypeny, Thomas Miller, R. C. Hoffman, Z. Vesey, and A. C. Dorsey, all of whom are citizens of Columbus.
THE LOCATION OF THE ROAD .- The Columbus and Ferrara railroad is to be connected with the Union depot in this city, pass thence on the east side of the city, cross the National Road east of the Front Street railroad stables, and run thence, by way of Basil and Baltimore, in Fairfield county, to Ferrara, in Perry county, the center of the great coal-vein. The company are confident in the expectation of having the road in running order in the year 1873.
The new railroad will cross Alum creek one-third of a mile south of the National Road, or between that road and Livingston avenue, crossing the lay of ground the most eligible in the neighborhood for manufacturing purposes. Land in that vicin- ity, suitable for such purposes, may at present be purchased at a very fair average rate considering its prospective increase in value. Holders of property in that section are offering lands

THE SCIOTO VALLEY AND COLUMBUS AND FERRARA RAILROADS.
Under the act passed April 23, 1872, commonly known as the "Boesel law," authorizing counties, cities, villages, and townships to build railroads, and to lease and operate the same, James G. Bull, mayor of Columbus, at the written request of more than one hundred tax-paying electors of the city, issued, July 12, 1872, a notice to the voters of the city, to the effect that a special election would be held, on the 31st of August next en- suing, to decide whether the city of Columbus would appropriate two hundred thousand dollars for the construction of a railroad from the Union depot, in the city, in a southeastern direction, to an eligible point on the National Road, east of and not exceeding one-third of a mile from the Friend Street railroad stables, thence southerly to an eligible point in and near the center of the north boundary line of Hamilton township, forming thus a commence- ment for the projected Scioto Valley railroad ; and, also, for the construction of a branch road, commencing at a point on the line of said railroad, about one-third of a mile south of the National Road, thence in an easterly direction and parallel to said road across Alum creek to its east bank, about one-third of a mile south of the National Road, so as to form a beginning for the contemplated Columbus and Ferrara railroad to the coal and iron mines in Perry county.
THE VOTE .- The special election was held accordingly on Sat- urday, August 31, 1872, and resulted in the large majority of 3,777, out of a total vote of 4,701, in favor of issuing city bonds to the amount of $200,000 for building ,the trunk road and branch described in the foregoing notice by Mayor Bull.

THE LETTING .- The question of the appropriation of funds having been thus decided, the mayor, September 28, 1872, issued a notice for sealed proposals to be received at the office of the city clerk until November 28, 1872, for building said trunk road and branch on a line to be selected by the mayor and city council, the contractor or contractors to give bonds to the acceptance of the mayor and council.
THE COLUMBUS AND SCIOTO VALLEY RAILROAD.
The general purpose of the projectors and friends of this road is to construct a railroad southwardly from Columbus down the fertile valley of the Scioto to Portsmouth, or some other point on the Ohio river, by way of Circleville, Chillicothe, and Waverly. It will pass through the following counties, whose productions of corn and wheat, in 1870, were as follows :
Franklin county.
Bu. Corn. 2,051,000
Bu. Wheat. 257,000
Pickaway county.

74,000
Scioto county
731,000
71,000
Total,.
9,008,000
1,090,000
A large portion of this road will be built by municipal sub- scriptions under the "Boesel law." Several large subscriptions of this character were voted last summer. One of these was voted by Ross county, sufficient to construct the road-bed and bridges through that county. Portsmouth and Scioto county, by a vote of four to one, decided in favor of raising $300,000 by tax for building the road through that county. Waverly, the county seat of Pike county, by a vote of five or six to one, declared in favor of subscribing the requisite amount to build the road through that county. Thus the road was secured to the south line of Pickaway county, leaving its construction through that county and Hamilton township, in Franklin county, to be pro- vided for.
By the building of the Scioto Valley road, and also of the Columbus, McArthur and Gallipolis road, Columbus will gain direct connection with that great trunk-line, the Chesapeake and Ohio road, and access to the mineral and agricultural wealth it will tap, as well as to the Atlantic seaboard by a shorter route than any other now in operation. Referring to the Chesapeake road, the Chicago Railway Review says in a re- cent number :

Ohio, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and the leading towns in the Southwest, including a population of ten millions of pro- ducing people, are competing to form running arrangements with it. In Europe capitalists are investigating, through agents in this country, the unexampled resources in the iron, coal, timber, salt, and agricultural products of Virginia and West Virginia. Virginia has been long and favorably known to the leading capitalists of Europe. A large proportion of the old State debt is held in Europe. The advance in the market prices of the coal, iron, and agricultural lands of West Vir- ginia since the road began work has been sufficient to pay for the cost of building the road twice over. New industries are springing into life and activity along the line; and at its west- ern terminus on the Ohio river, the new city of Huntingdon, named after the intelligent and enterprising president of the road, is progressing rapidly."
Two certificates have been filed incorporating companies for the construction of the Columbus and Toledo railroad :
1. The Columbus and Toledo Railroad Company, incorporated in May, 1872. The corporators are all residents of Columbus. They are M. M. Greene, P. W. Huntington, B. E. Smith, W. G. Deshler, James A. Wilcox, and John L. Gill. The charter of this company permits it to build its road by either the eastern or western route; and the road, it is generally understood, will be an extension of the Columbus and Hocking Valley road.
2. The Toledo and Columbus Railroad Company, incorporated since the Columbus and Toledo, with a capital of $500,000. The corporators are Harvey P. Platt, Valentine H. Hitcham, J. C. Lee, Hervey Brown, J. S. Peterson, S. Carlin, Aaron Black- ford, S. L. Broughton, Edwin Reed, Hugh Cargo, William Q. Davis, John Ruthrauff, and K. T. Backus. This company is or- ganized for constructing a road on what is known as the west- ern route.
THE COLUMBUS AND TOLEDO RAILROAD.
Three routes have been proposed for this contemplated rail- road :
1. The eastern route, from Columbus, through Delaware, Marion, Upper Sandusky, Carey, Fostoria, and Bowling Green, to Toledo.
2. The middle route, from Columbus, through Delaware, thence directly north, through Forest, Findlay, and Bowling Green, to Toledo.
3. The western route, from Columbus, through the counties of Franklin, Union, Hardin, Hancock, Wood, and Lucas, to To-

ledo, touching the towns of Marysville, Kenton, Findlay, and Bowling Green.
Under the auspices of the Columbus and Toledo and the Hocking Valley Railroad Companies, the eastern and western routes from Columbus to Toledo were surveyed last summer by a corps of civil engineers under Phil. D. Fisher and Jesse R. Straughan. The report of these preliminary surveys has not, at this writing, been published; but they are understood to in- dicate that on both routes, as surveyed, there is a good grade throughout, and no serious obstacles will be offered to engineer- ing.
The difference between the two routes as to distance is but slight, and if any, not more than five or six miles, claimed by parties interested to be in favor of their preferred route. The survey of the western route, of which we have the most infor- mation, shows that the grade is nowhere over twenty-six feet, and that only for a short distance. The deepest cut is at Ken- ton, which is on the dividing ridge or "backbone of Ohio."
Of the middle route we have no account of a survey, though it was announced, some months since, that Mr. Townsend, pres- ident of the Bee Line, had stated that he would have an engi- neer put on the route, and that if the road was built on that line, his company would lease their track between Columbus and Delaware to the new company on favorable terms, with perfect freedom in making contracts for through freight and traffic with other roads.
These three several routes have their advantages and disad- vantages, and each has, of course, its strenuous friends and ad- vocates. What is wanted for Columbus and this section of the State is a direct and easy route to Toledo. The towns along the several proposed lines have held meetings in favor of building the road, and have made liberal subscriptions, both private and public, to aid the enterprise.
The importance of this railroad to Columbus, either as an extension of the Hocking Valley road or otherwise, can hardly be overestimated. Our city has direct railroad communication with almost every point of consequence in the State except To- ledo and Northwestern Ohio. Columbus is, and is to be, a coal and iron center. It has already two principal roads-the Bee Line and the Mt. Vernon road, now nearly completed-for bearing off its coal and other mineral products.
The Toledo road will make the third great thoroughfare for the distribution of our coal, and so increase that traffic that the necessity of building another road to the coal region in Perry county will become imperative. Both roads will doubtless be soon in operation. Of the new coal-road to Perry county we

This will be done in the manner most satisfactory to the parties in- terested, compatible with the general public interest.
THE PITTSBURG, CINCINNATI AND ST. LOUIS RAILWAY-PAN-HANDLE ROUTE.
The Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railway Company includes in its operations the following railroads : The Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railway, proper ; the Columbus, Chi- cago and Indiana Central Railway, and the road proper of the Little Miami Railroad Company and its leased lines.
I. The Pittsburg, Cincinnati, and St. Louis Railway Company involves three original corporations : The Steubenville and In- diana Railroad Company, of Ohio; the Pittsburg and Steuben- ville Railroad Company (more recently the Pan-handle Rail- way Company), of Pennsylvania, and the Holiday's Cove Rail- road Company, of Virginia and West Virginia.
THE STEUBENVILLE AND INDIANA RAILROAD .- This company was chartered by the State of Ohio, February 24, 1848, and con- structed its road from Steubenville to Newark, 117 miles, and the Cadiz branch, in Harrison county, 72 miles. On a fore- closure of mortgages for the sale of the road, it was placed, Sep- tember 2, 1859, in the hands of a receiver, who operated it un- der the orders of the court. The receiver, October 1, 1864, on behalf of the company, purchased the undivided half of the road of the Central Ohio Railroad Company, lying between Newark and Columbus, 33 miles, thus making a total length of 157} miles.
THE PITTSBURG AND STEUBENVILLE RAILROAD .- This company was chartered by the State of Pennsylvania, March 24, 1849. The road, in an unfinished state, was leased, September 30, 1857, to the Western Transportation Company of Pennsylvania, who constructed the road from Pittsburg to the boundary line be- tween Virginia (now West Virginia) and Pennsylvania, in the direction of Steubenville-thirty-six miles. The road was sold March 6, 1867, and the purchasers organized a new company, for its operation, under the name of the Pan-handle Railroad Company.
THE HOLIDAY'S COVE RAILROAD .- This company, chartered by the State of Virginia, March 30, 1860, constructed a road across the narrow neck or section of (now West) Virginia, known as the "Pan Handle," connecting with the road of the Pan-handle Company on the east, and, in connection with the

Steubenville bridge across the Ohio, with the Steubenville and Indiana railroad on the west, being seven miles in length.
CONSOLIDATION .- The Steubenville and Indiana, the Pan- handle, and the Holiday's Cove Railroad Companies were con- solidated May 11, 1868, under the name of the Pittsburg, Cin- cinnati and St. Louis Railway Company, the roads forming a continuous line from Columbus to Pittsburg, 193 miles, 157} of which lies in Ohio, with the Cadiz branch, 72 miles in length. Of the main line, 33 miles, between Columbus and Newark, is owned in common with the Central Ohio Railroad Company.
II. The Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central Railway Company involves numerous original corporations in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, and results from several consolidations. Its history begins with-
THE COLUMBUS, PIQUA AND INDIANA RAILROAD .- The company with this title was chartered by the Ohio legislature, February 23, 1849, and constructed its road from Columbus to Union City, on the western state line. The company becoming embarrassed, it was re-organized under the name of the Columbus and Indianapolis Railroad Company. The road having been sold August 6, 1863, to trustees, under an order of court, was sub- sequently transferred by deed to the reorganized company.
THE RICHMOND AND COVINGTON RAILROAD .- This company was incorporated March 12, 1862, under the laws of Ohio, and constructed its road from Covington, Ohio, connecting with the Columbus and Indianapolis railroad, to a point on the western line of the State, toward Richmond, Indiana. It was sold, Sep- tember 5, 1864, to the Columbus and Indianapolis Railroad Company.
CONSOLIDATIONS .- The Columbus and Indianapolis Railroad Company, of Ohio, and the Indiana Central Railway Company, of Indiana, were consolidated October 17, 1864, under the name of the Columbus and Indianapolis Central Railway Company. The latter company, September 10, 1867, was consolidated with the Toledo, Logansport and Burlington Railway Company, and the Union and Logansport Railroad Company, both of Indiana, under the name of the Columbus and Indiana Central Railway Company, and this new organization was, on the 12th of Feb- ruary, 1868, consolidated with the (fourth) Chicago and Great Eastern Railroad Company, taking the name of the Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central Railway, extending from Columbus, Ohio, to Chicago; from Bradford Junction, Ohio, to Indianapolis ; from Richmond, Indiana, to Logansport; and from Logansport to the western line of Indiana, in all 582 miles. Of this 136 9-10 miles lies in Ohio, extending from Columbus to Union City, on the State line between Ohio and Indiana, 116 3-10 miles, and

LEASE .- The Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central Rail- way Company, February 1, 1869, leased its entire railway and appurtenances for the term of ninety-nine years, renewable for- ever, to the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railway Com- pany.
III. The Little Miami Railroad, and leased lines, includes lines of road built under four different charters.
THE LITTLE MIAMI AND THE COLUMBUS AND XENIA RAILROADS. -The Little Miami Company obtained a charter March 11,1836, and the Columbus and Xenia Company, March 12, 1844. The two companies entered, November 30, 1853, into a contract of union or partnership, by which the roads of both were operated as one line. The two companies leased, January 1, 1865, the Dayton and Western railroad (from Dayton to the State line), and the interest of that company in the Richmond and Miami railway from the State line to Richmond, Indiana, and pur- chased February 4, 1865, the Dayton, Xenia and Belpre rail- road, from Xenia to Dayton. The union or partnership was dissolved November 30, 1868, and a contract of lease entered into, by which the Little Miami Company leased for ninety-nine years the Columbus and Xenia road, and the rights and interests of that company in the Dayton and Western; Dayton, Xenia and Belpre; and the Richmond and Miami railroads; making the Little Miami railroad and its leased lines include the following: The Little Miami road from Cincinnati to Springfield, 84 miles, with a branch from Xenia to Dayton, 15 miles; the Columbus and Xenia road, from Columbus to Xenia, 55 miles ; the Dayton and Western road, from Dayton to a point on the western State line toward Richmond, Indiana, 372 miles; and the Richmond and Miami road, from that point on the State line to Richmond, In- diana, 3} miles ; in all 196 miles, of which all but 3} is in Ohio.
THE LEASE OF THE LITTLE MIAMI .- The Little Miami Rail- road Company, December 1, 1869, leased its railroad and its rights and interests in all the foregoing roads to the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railway Company, for ninety-nine years, renewable forever.
The following statements as to the characteristics and opera- tions of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railway, are taken from the Ohio railroad commissioner's report for the year ending June 30, 1871 :
