PRIVATE RAILROADS.
Railway Review.
The iiiirnbi-r of small railroad Hues In
the South which have been built within
ris -nt years Is remarkably largo. Th'lr
owners aro principally mining and lumber
companies who have constructed thsm
originally for carrying lumleT. ore, stc,
to mills anil furnaces, or to some larger
system to which they usually connect.
The Manufacturers' Reoor I ha been
compiling a summary of thesu private
railroad line in Ihe (southern states,
which show that about t)l,V0,'t) caidtal
Is now Invested In them, and that the
mlli-ago Is very extensive. In North
Carolina nearly Sou miles of such lima
have bis-n built. The long"Sl private
road Is In Routb'aterii Texas. It Is a
tram rond sovenly-tlvo miles In extent.
In Kentucky, North Carolina. Texas and
