This long inter ruption in the season of business, generally very active, caused a heavy loss of profits, as the usual stall' of employes w ere kept in readi ness for the resumption of mining operations on any day. There was partial compensation bv an unusually large traffic, at increased charges lr the remaining three months, in which the coal tonnage amoiinted to 1,301,000 tons, showing a capacity for transportation largely in excess of any former period. Not- w ithstanding this interruption, tho aggregate production from the three great mining dis tricts ol anthracite coal was 1,1(j1,8u4 tons in excess of the previous year, thus proving that the consumption is steadily progressing. The proprietors of lands and others inter ested in more fully developing the northwest ern portion of the second coal field obtained a charter to build a railroad, under tho title of the Enterprise Kailroad Company, which was offered to this company on the condition that the work should be vigorously prosecuted The offer w as accepted, and a road six miles in length has been constructed, which connects the Minehill and Schuylkill Haven Kailroad with the town of Shamokin. A large coal ton- iiaee will be obtained from this district. A change of 'ownership of the large tracts of coal lands in the immediate vicinity of Tre- verton and of the railroad from that place to the Kus'iuehanna river, formerly known as tho Treverton Coal and Railroad Company, now called the Zerbo Valley Kailroad.liaving oc curred. the new proprietors tendered a large portion of their production of coal to us for transportation, provided a connection with the works ol the company could no miuio. Negotiations for these objects were opened which resulted in the purchase of their rail road, fifteen miles in length, including a bridge across the Susquehanna river lor $100,000 payable iu the bonds of this company due 181)3, with semi-annual interest oi six per cent., free from taxes. This road has been rut in good order to the point of connection with the Northern Central Kailroad on the east side of the Susquehanna river, at a cost of $27,61- 04. As a fat of this negotiation, a railroad eigl connection between the Zcrbc Valley Railroad at Treverton and the Enterprise Railroad at Shamokin. When this link is completed, this company will operate continuous lines of rail way from Philadelphia to tho Susquehanna river at Ilcrndon. An extension of eight miles of the Good Spring Railroad Is also being built to form a connection with the Summit Branch Railroad at Williamstown. A railroad extends from tho last-named place to Millersburg, on the Susquehanna river, twenty-ono miles. This connection will give this company direct ac cess to the large liody of coal lands in Lyken's Valley, w hich yield a free burning coal, much desired by some for domestic purposes. Another railroad, called tho Lebanon and Tine Grove Railroad, is also being built by this company. It extends from Pine Grove, near the western end of tho first anthracite coal field, forty-two miles, to Manheim, on the Reading anil Columbia Railroad, fourteen miles from Columbia, on tho Susquehanna river, and passes through the flourishing town of Lebanon. The enterprising citizens of these localities, which are rapidly increasing in manufactures and population, have been de pendent for their supplies of coal by a very circuitous route. The construction of this road, either under the auspices of this com pany or other parties, the managers have for many years past regarded as inevitable. They have therefore put the grading under contract, payable one-jhird in cash and two-thirds in the plain bonds of the company, bearing six per cent, interest, not secured by mortgage. Aid has also been given to tho Colebrook dale Railroad on the terms described in tho last annual report as given to the Perkiomen Railroad. The road leaves the main line at Totfstown and passes northeastwardly fourteen miles along the ore deposits at the foot of the South mountain. It was stated in the last report that work had been resumed on the portion of tho Allen town Railroad between Port Clinton and Top ton. In 1800 this company acquired 7o0 shares of tho stock of the Allentown Railroad Company, on w hich $20 per share were unpaid, amounting to $150,000, w hich has since been laid; with this and similar payments from oilier stockholders the prosecution of tho work has been continued. The Perkiomen Railroad, to which reference was made in the last report, was opened for traflic in August last, from the junction with the road of this company, twenty live miles from Philadelphia, to Skippack, ten miles. There suits demonstrate tho wisdom of extending :iid to develop the rich mineral and agricultu ral resources of the Schuylkill Valley. The new rolling mill went into operation in April last, since which 81)71 tons of rails have been manufactured, with results, so far as they can be tested from present experience, which warrant the confident belief that all the im portant advantages anticipated from this in vestment of capital w ill be fully realized. To provide lor the payment of the bonds due in 1870, amounting by tho last report to S'J,0')0,(,00, a mortgage dated 1st April, 1808, payable in twenty-five years, with interest at seven per cent, semi-annually, free from taxa tion, was created, secured by the entire pro perty of the company, subject to other prior mortgage liens. An opportunity was given to October 1st last to the holders of the bonds due in 1870 to exchange them for the new bonds, alter the payment of tho coupon due 1st of )etober last, and Sii '2-",(!00 were so exchanged, leaving but $"401,000 of the bonds due in 1870 to be provided for. For this purpose the bal- ince of tl e new bonds w ill be held. The foregoing explanations of the changes which appear in the general account of the Treasurer, together with the statements in letail of the operations of the transportation and engineers departments, hereto appended, lire, it is believed, all that are required. For the purposes and objects to which re ference has been made, and which by tho managers are regarded as of tho utmost im portance to the future and permanent pros perity of the company, a large portion of the profits have been required. Jlcncc, the July and December dividends were made payable in stock. To some of the stockholders it may be gratifying to be informed that on the comple tion, during the coming year, ol the lateral roads now being built, the coal fields naturally tributary to the works of this company, will require no more expensive roads. Many more collieries will be erected, requiring only short and inexpensive branches. Jt may be sup posed by some that a portion ol these works have been constructed somewhat in advance of the necessities of the public. Rut it should be remembered that the land owners w ere im patient for revenue, enterprising miners were ready to make leases, and if your board of managers had declined to furnish the neces sary facilities for transporting the coal to mar ket, other avenues would have been sought, and thus the future prosperity of the company would have been greatly and permanently im paired.
