Dear Pin i During tho past season n
survey I1119 been mado by Mr. James Brown
of Hloomsburg, for n lino of Rallwny from
Rupert, Columbia Co., to Hernlco In 8nl-
llvnn County. Hy your direction, Mr.
Rrown brought tlio notes of his survey to
my olUcc, nntl I have furnished 1dm with
tisslstniico to work them out, mid to pre-
pare n map, profile nnd estimate ot quanti
ties. I bnvo consulted with Mr. Rrown
nnd ndvised hlin as to tho details of Loca
tion and mode of Construction. During
the present month I have made ft personal
examination of the country through which
tho proposed Railroad is loontetl, having
passed along the Valley of Fishing Creek
from Rupert to tho foot of tlio moun
tain, nnd having spent several days on the
mountain between Ganoga Lake nnd Her-nice.
I herewith present the results of my ex.
nmlnatlons, together with tlt03o of Mr.
flrown's survey.
Tho line selected commences on tlio Cat-
tnwissa R. R. near Rupert Station nnd fol
lows up the Valley of Fishing Creek to the
foot of the mountain, 11 dlstauco 0 f about
27 miles. This portion of tliu route is
along an open alluvial valley, and the so-
lected location U for the most part nt or
near the foot of tho hill on one side or the
other of tlio valley, though sometimes ex-
tending across stretches of bottom land.
On reaching tho foot of the mountain the
line deflects to the westward, and follows
the west branch of Fishing Creek for some
distance. The North mountain, which Is a
Spur from tho Great Allegheny plateau,
faces boldly to the South with precipitous
front, rising about 1200 feet in a little over
half n mile. It Is cut by numerous gorges
which have steep full, rugged slopes and
sharp jutting points, lu order to make
tho ascent with reasonable grades, dis
tance must bo had, which necessarily
lengthens the line. Tho location follows
along tlio South side of tlio West fork of
Fishing Creek for some distance, curves
round, crosses the stream and follows
along the JSorth sldo of tho Ravine,
doubles tip and back along a branch com
ing in from the North, known as Painter
Run, and rcnchlng tho West sldo of Elk
Run follows that stream to Its head, rcach
1 ing the summit 45 miles from Rupert,
at nn elevation of about 2300 feet above tho
tide level.
North of the Summit the Plateau
stretches out in rolls and undulations,
broken by numerous streams. Taking ad
vantage of these, tho located line takes a
Northerly direction to the head waters of
Painter Den Run, one of the branches of
Lopez Creek, follows that stream to its In
tersection with the Loyalsock Creek, thence
up Pidgeon Creek (which comes in from
the North) then, deflects to tho Westward,
follows the contour of the hills North of
the Loyalsock Creek, nntl connects at Ber
nico with the Sullivan and State Una Rail
road. The total length of the lino Is 00
miles.
From Rupert to tlio foot of the mountain,
27 miles, tho ruling gradc3 are : ascend.
Ing Northward C3 8-10 feet per mile, de
cending Northward 43 feet per mile. A
line could be located with continuous as
cending grades Northwnrd, but a few ad
verse grades have been introduced to light
en the graduation.
From the foot of of tho mouutaln to tho
summit, 18. 1-3 miles, tho maximum as
cending grade Northward Is 90 feet per
mile, and the nverago rise 73. B-IU per
mile, descending grides Northward none.
From the summit to Berulce 15 miles, the
ruling grades are 90 feet per mile, in both
directions. Along the valley of FHdng
Creek the alignment is generally good. On
the mountain portion of the road the na
ture of the ground requires sharp curva
ture, and In doubling the ravines and
sharp points curves of 339 feet radius havo
been used.
Tho Allegheny mountain passes through
Central Penna., on the West side of Bald
Eagle and Susquehanna Valleys, Us es
carpment following n lino almost due
North East until it reaches n point about
North of Wllllamsport when it bears
almost duo E tst to tho junction of Lycom
ing, Columbia and Sullivan Counties nt
which place It throws out to tho Southward
tho North mountains as a bold spur, then
bears again to tlio North East nnd crosses
tlio North Branch of the Susquehanna
River to Ttmkhannock. Tlio Eastern and
Southern faco of tlio mountain is generally
abrupt, while West of tho summit it spreads
out Into a rolling plateau ot great extent.
Many stream head In tho plateau. Some
ot them traverse considerable distances In
tho plateau, a few cut through the escarp.
mcnt of tho mountain, but nil find their
vent in cither the North or West Branch of
tho Susquehanna, both of which streams
cut the mountain to Its base. In the re
glon near tlio lino of your proposed Hull,
road we find the waters of Fishing Creek
flowing to tlio South and emptying Into the
Susquehanna near Bloomsburg. At tho
head of Fishing Creek proper we find the
East and West branches, Coles (,'rcek mid
Raven Run, while further Eastward are
the various branches of Huntingdon Creek,
which unites with Fishing Creek South ot
the village of Hllllwater, These various
streams drain the South face of tliu North
mountain.
Passing North of tho escarpment of tliu
mountain wo And Bowman's Creek nnd tho
Mnhoopany flowing Eastwardly and North
castwurdly to junctions with tho North
branch of tho Susquehanna at points North
otwhero It cuts through the main mountain.
At tho head waters ot these two streams,
uud Interlocking with them we find tho
waters of tho Loyalsock which stream
Hows Westward, cuts tlio mountain to its
base, and unites with tho West branch of
tho Susquehanna n few miles East of Wll
llamsport. Hernlco Is on tho Loyalsock
on what is known as Birch Creek, Muncy
creek waters aro to tho West of your line.
An examination of tie Slato map will show
tho relative positions ot these several
streams, nnd will indicate, tho positions of
tho hills, rolls nnd divides which cnt up
the plateau of the Allegheny moun
tain. It might appear at first glance- that tho
proper way to reach tlio elevation ot tho
great Plateau was to follow down ono of
tlio larger streams. Tho great elevation
from which these streams havo to drop, nntl
tho peculiar geological character of tlio
country, has caused them to flow to n grea
ter or less extent tn Canons with rugged
slopes, sharp turns nnd crooks, nnd num.
erous vertical falls, making It very difficult
to utilize their gorges for tlio purposes of a
railroad, Tho', Inaccessibility ot this re
glon has caused It to be very little explored,
nnd wo find on tho North mountain, pro
bably tlio lai cost stretch of Virgin forest
remaining In tlio State. Stretching from
tho head of tho West brnncli of Fishing
Creek Eastward along Bowman's Creek
nnd the Mnhoopany is n vast extent ot un
explored territory, rcnchlng North and
South from tho waters of tho Loyalsock to
tlio face of tlio North mountain, nn area of
several hundred thousand acres, entirely
uninhabited, except n few scattered clear
lngs on Its outskirts.
The Fishing Creek waters appear to at
ford the best means of access to this terri
tory, tmtl ,tlio routo selected and surveyed
by Mr. Brow 11 gives a road of workable
grades which can bo constructed at moder
ate expense. Considerable distance, of
course, is lost in ascending the mountain,
but tills is a necessity, to secure workable
grades. While I obtained a very fair
knowledge of tho topography of tlio count
ry, more particularly of the valley of Fish
ing Creek proper nnd of tlio portion, North
of the mountain on my recent trip, I could
not in three or four df.ys make n critical
examination of tho whole country. Tlio
waters of Huntingdon Creek might give an
available route to the Nortli mountain Pla
teau, .hough It Is very doubtful if such a
routo would bo better than the one selected'
by Mr. Brown. It Is a question for you to
consider whether It Is worth while to ex
amine tlio Huntingdon creek route instru
mentally. By running directly to the font
of the mountain, nnd using incllno planes
to overcome the 1300 feet of elevation,
some 17 mlle3 of dlstanco could be saved.
I am Inclined to think, however, that it is
hardly wortli while to consider such a
scheme. A hurried trial lino was run up
the East branch of Fishing Creek, but no
location has been projected on that route.
If that route would better develop tho land
which you desire to reach, it might be well
to make n location on tlio East branch, and
compare tlio results with that of tho pre
sent location. An outlet for this reason
via. Fishing Creek will reach the principal
markets South & East by a much less dis
tance than can be had by a road following
any of the streams which flow West of the
mountain crest.
Tho object of my recent trip over the
line of your proposed Railroad, was to ob
tain a general knowledge of tho country
and of Its topography, character and re
sources. I was fortunate In being accom
panied by Col. R. B. Rlcketts of Wilkes
Barrc, a gentleman who has made a
thorough study of tho North mountain dis
trict, who Is perfectly familiar with Its to
pography, Geology & resources, and who
kindly p'need at my disposal his private
maps gave every explanation nsked for,
and piloted me from point to point, so that
I was cuablcd to see much more in tho
time at my disposal titan I could possibly
have done without his aid.
Tlio Fishing Creek Valley from Rupert
to the mouutaln Is a good farming country
interspersed with numerous small villages.
On cither side of tho valley is a farming
country, whicli at present has no Railroad
facilities nearer than the valley of the
North branch of the Susquehanna. Imme
diately in the vicinity of Bloomsburg are
lurgc quantities of tho well known fossil
iron ore of tho Jtontour ridge. With this
exception there are no minerals of any com
mercial value along the lino or tho road
South of the mountain. After leaving the
valley ot Fishing Creek we strike the tlm.
ber region. The mountain Plateau is cov
ered with a heavy growth of Spruce, Hem
lock and hard wood, with a few isolated
patches of White Pine. Col. Ricketts who
has explored the region extensively, in
company with experienced lumbermen es
timates that there are not less than 200,000
acres of Virgin timber land on tho moun
tain Plateau In Sullivan Luzerno & Wyom-
Ing Counties. Immediately on tho Loyul
sock there nro several saw mills, tho lum
ber from which I saw being hauled to Bcr
nico. I am informed that at Thorndale and
Laporte, both of which aro West of tho ter
ritory I examined, there are tanneries, In
operation, and I saw somo Hemlock tim
ber which had been cut down, and from
which the bark had been removed. I vis
Ited a high point on a clearing near the
Wyoming County lino which overlooked
the valleys of the Loyalsock, Mnhoopany
nnd Howmans Creeks, from which I could
sec vast areas of unbroken timber land ex
tending to tho limits of tho horizon many
miles from where I stood.
Ganoga Lnko otherwise known as Long
Pond, isa sheet of water about 1 mlb long,
situated near tho Turnpiko road and about
ii miles North from tho crest of tho moun
tain, Its outlet U by Kitchen Creek, a
branch of Huntingdon Creek, which latter,
as before stated, Is a tributary of Fishing
Creek, At Genoga Lake is 11 clear
ing, nn which there Is n largo and
substantial two btory stone house, a
three Btory framo boarding house, barns
and other buildings, tho placo having been
Improved nnd fitted up as a Summer Water.
Ing Place, capable of accommodating from
200 to 250 guests. After leaving tho Loyal
sock creek to como South "Ganoga Lnko"
Is the only habitation on the mountain, nnd
East and West of It is nn unbroken wilder,
ness for many idtles In either direction. A
lnrgo tract of land around and Including
Ganoga Like Is owned by Col. Rlcketts,
who U tho only person that has cxploicd
this section for minerals, and I nm Indebt
ed to him for the Information which I ob.
tallied lu the matter. Col. Rlcketts has
mado n number of drifts, test pits and
shafts, some of which I visited and exam.
Incd. A bed of valuablo Yellow Ochro has
been opened at a number of places. It var
ies from 3 to 0 feet thick. Col. Rtckctts es
timates It to average 4 feet In thickness,
and states that ho has traced it sufficiently
to warrant him In claiming that it under,
lies 10,000 ncrcs j what it may bo boyond
this area is not known.
Immediately under tho Ochro bed is n
vein of Iron oro about twelve Inches thick,
It shows at tho outcrop us a browu Hcma.
tltu 1 whether It remains tho same under
cover, cannot bo stated, as It has not been
developed, uol. mcKclls reports tt as
giving about 33 per cent, of metallic) iron,
being very low In Phosphorus nnd Sul.
plmr, and containing about 0 per cent, of
Mungauesc. Tlio next lower strata is ten
feet In thickness of brown shale and ore,
Tho oro seems to bo about 3 feet thick, red
in color, probably low in metallic iron, and
a specimen tested Is reported as showing 1
per cent, of Phosphorus. About 200 feet
lower lu tuo measures lucre is nn Iron oro
deposit. I examined It at a trench dug In tho
hill uidu on Oro Run, about 1 miles West
of Gnnogn Lake. Tho faco of tho hill Is
very steep and covered with fragments of
rock which make It difficult to follow tho
strain. Col. Rlcketts found a bed of bog
manganese under tho ore, which has been
his gutdo In tracing the vein. Tho section
shows 12 Indies of oro In tho bottom, then
5 feet of red shale, then 10 Inches of ore,
then 0 Inches greenish shale, and lastly 19
Inches of ore. making In all a thickness
of four feet two Inches of oro In a height
ot nine feet eight Inches. This oro has a
blush color, nnd is probably a carbonate.
It hns not been tested In any way, nor
opened elsewhere.
I havo been shown fine specimens of
shot ore which I nm Informed exists as a
bed 8 feet thick on Elk Hun nd on tho
West Branch of Fishing Creek. Col. nick
ctts lias not found tho shot oro on his prop
erto, but ho states that it seems to occupy
about the same geological horizon ns the
deposit on Oro Run above described. He
nlso states that while exploring the various
branches of the Mnhoopany creek ho found
specimens of Brown Hematite Iron ore,
which as nearly as ho could judgo came
from tho same horizon, there being bog oro
springs nnd exposures of bog inangancso
adjacent.
On the mountain Plateau wo find a layer
of Impure Limestone well stratified and
thin bedded. The presence of this lime
stone probably nccounts for the good qual
ity of the soil found In this section ot tho
country.
The unsettled condition of the district
nnd the obsence of menus of communica
tion havo prevented any extensive explora
tion of the ore deposits here described, nnd
no actual workings have been mado on a
largo scale, therefore I cannot express nny
opinion as to the commercial values of the
ores.
The town of Bcrnlce, tho Northern ter
minus of your lino nnd the Southern termi
nus of your State lino and the Sullivan
Railroad, Is situated on Birch Run. It Is a
scattering village of miners and workmen,
houses, witli n few stores, a hotel, saw mill
nnd coal breaker. At this point tho geo
logical measures which form tho surface
further South, have sunk so ns to form a
narrow Isolated trough or basin which con
tains the two lower coal veins. I had no
opportunity to personally examine tho coal
deposits nt this place, nor to ascertain defi
nitely their extent. To do so would bo a
work of considerable time. Tho State geo
logical report of Sullivan County, publish,
cd in 1830, goes into somo detail relative
to this region, but Col. Ricketts nnd others
Interested in lands take decided exceptions
to the thoroughness and correctness Ot that
report In many particulars. While I do
not pretend to advance my judgment against
that of well known professional geologists
who havo examined this district of country
as a business, I must say that the observa
tions which I made on tho ground, not so
much at Bernlcc ns In the country South of
It, lend mo to believe that the present pub
lished reports need considerable revision.
I undcrtnnd that during the past summer
this district lias been revisited by an officer
ot the State Survey, and that a reexamina
tion has been ordered. Tho State report
docs not give the acreage of coal available
at Ucrnlce, nnd I have not been able to ob
tain It from other sources.
The information which Col. Ricketts
gives mo is to the effect that there aro two
veins ot coal, the upper one measuring 11
feet (the State Survey gives it at about 8
feet) the lower one 4 feet (the State Survey
says 2 feet) with about 55 feet of intcrven
Ing rocks. That the upper vein Is found
only in the Birch Creek basin, but that tho
lower vein occupies n much larger area.
The line between Sullivan nnd Wyoming
Counties lies about 7 miles East of Ucrnlce,
and Wyoming County, as yet, has not been
officially reported on. Col. Rlcketts claims,
wlille the area of Birch Creek basin, as
laid down on geological map of Sullivan
County, Is substantially correct, that there
Is n large basin of tho lower vein of coal In
Wyoming County, both North & South of
the Muhoopany Creek. That this basin
being an unexplored wilderness, has not
been thoroughly examined, but that In
September Inst ho visited it, in company
with Mr. Hill, one ot tho assistants of tho
State Survey and saw two- openings iu tho
coal, ono of which was driven In about 300
feet. He tells me. that ho and Mr. Hill de
elded that there was about 20 square miles
of area of tho lower coal vein. From what
I could sec of the Topography ot tho coun
try, nnd In view of the small vertical ills,
tanco between tho two scams ot coal, I can
not resist tho conclusion, that If there is
any such area of tho lower vein there must
also bo a considerable area ot tho upper
vein of coal In tho same territory. Of
course you caro nothing about County
Hues, or differences of opinion between
geollglsts on Scientific points, but you arc
Interested In tho actual facts as bearing on
tho sources of revenue for your railroad.
Tito inaccessibility ot this district has pre
vented n thorough examination being made,
but it is to bo hoped, that the question of
tho mineral deposits ot this region will
bo definitely settled ono way or the oth
er. Tho sources of Revenue for your Rail
road are thercforo 1
1. Tho general business, (passenger and
freight,) Incident to a prosperous farming
country of considerable width, extending
for somo 27 miles nloug your road. Llmo
Is needed for the farm lands, which will be
hauled in from tlio North Branch Valley.
Coal for fuel, store goods und miscellane
ous freight will be considerable Items. Farm
produce, cross-tics and miscellaneous
freight will be tho business going out.
3. Lumber business from tlio mountain
lands should bo a large Item. The present
dcmantl for sawed lumber, bill timber,
mluo ties, props and lagging through tho
anthracite coal district, affords a homo
market, now supplied from more distant
points, nnd for which you would practical,
ly have the monopoly. Hemlock bark Is
at present lu great demand for tanning
purposes, ami is growing scarcer nnd dear
er every year. A branch lino about 10
inlles long from your main lino 011 Loyal
sock Creek to the waters of the Mnhoopa
ny should practically control tho Immense
timber supply on tho waters of tho latter
stream, and would also serve to develop
tho coal deposits which it is possible may
be opened iu that district, The local in
formation which I have been furnished
with Is, that Hemlock bark is now selling
nt $7,00 per cord on board cars at Bernlcc,
that with a railroad built In this region it
can bo readily sold at $3,00 per cord on
the tree, and that the prices that can bo re.
alizod for Btuinpngo of lumber are Hem
lock 3.00, Spruce 5. to 0., White Pino
$8, to $10. and that Hemlock lumber is
now sellllng readily throughout tho coal
district at $15. to $10. The building of
menso body of timber Into market, and
whllo making lnrgo profits to tho land own.
ncrs would furnish freight to tho road. As
the timber Is nt present practically exclud
ed from market, and therefore utterly
worthless, and nn expense for taxes to Its
owners, It would seem Hint tlio true Interest
of tho land owners would bo to comblno
nnd build the Railroad themselves ( or fur
nlih the capital to do so, pro rata on their
holdings of land.
8. The building of the Fishing Creek
Railroad will afford n short lino South &
East, to tho principal markets of the coun.
try for tho coals of tho Bernlcc nnd udjn.
cent basins, tho amount of which will bo
limited only by the extent ot thoso basins,
as I understand tho coal Is of superior
quality and nn especial favorite for house-
hold use.
IJiave not attempted to make any figures
on tho foregoing sources of revenue. That
Is a matter that Is not In my province, but
it Is a subject for tliu consideration of pat
ties building the road.
