He is now engaged in running the line along Blue Creek, to the table laud in Ripley County, the grade of which he reports as being very easy, not more than 40 feet to the mile. If this part of the route can be overcome at a grade so low, there can be no difficulty on any other part through our State. Since this project was first announced, we have fell confident it could bemade at a much less cost than some of our friends supposed, and from the report of Mr. Frazier, we are now more than ever convinced of that opinion.—Brok.

M Duncan1 00The Valley Road*Mr. Pomeroy, the principal engineer, with an efficient corps, is now engaged in locating this road. It will not be publicly known where the road is to run for some time to come. Several routs have been run. but as to the one which will be selected we are unadvised. It is policy in the board of Directors that this matter should not be made known, at least for some lime. This road will be made, and no mistake. The large amount of stock already taken secures that without any doubt. But this should not prevent those who intend to take stock from doing so. The more stock the sooner the road will be built.—Brook.
