Iloke to build and lease it to the Sea board.

The road from Johnson City, Tenn., to Bessemer, of which the new road will be an extension, is now a narrow Krrrge track. It will bo made standard gauge. 1 ' The building of this road will mean much to Wilmington opening up the coal fields of the Virginias and turn-, ing to it, as the nearest seaport, all the products of mines and factories of this great Western section. It will not only give Wilmington a direct line to the nearest great coal deposit that at Big Stone Gap but will make it a coaling station, much nearer our new possessions, and at which ships can coal without passing Hatteras. The Big Stone coal is the most Southern deposit of the best steaming coal. There is now a road from Cranberry to the Big Stone Gap Mines. ,. Smallpox Scare.
