fleport of the Huntingdon and Broad
Top Railroad Company.
At the last annual meeting of the Stock
holders of this Company, twenty-four miles
of Railroad from Huntingdon to the Bridge
at Stonerstown or Saxton were reported as
completed. At Saxton, you are aware, one
branch of the road diverges in a north-easter
ly direction to the mines on Shoup's Run,
whilst the main road continued in a Southerly
direction along the base of the mountain to
ward Bedford, giving an opportunity by short
branches to bring the coal from Six Mile and
Sandy. Runs, and affording an outlet by its
terminus at Hopewell, to the grain and other
products of Bedford county.
From the report of the Engineer in charge,
P. Yandevander, Esq., you will perceive that
the bridge at Saxton, and four miles of the
Shoup's branch were completed early in March
and the transportation of coal from two of
the Company's mines on Shoup's Run com
menced shortly after. By July, one mile
more was completed, reaching the colleries of
Robert Hare Powell, Esq., and Messrs. Bur
roughs, Dorris Si Co. These mines, with the
two mentioned above as belonging to the
Company, were the only ones from which
coal was sent until the latter part of Decem
ber, when another colliery of the Company
was put into operation. Three and three
quarter miles more have been graded on
Shoup's Run, on one-half of which the track
has been laid and the iron is on the ground
and being laid upon the remainder. Some
of the most valuable mines of the mountain
are on this extension, the celebrated Cook
vein or upper large seam cropping out along
nearly the whol distance. Two splendid
collieries have been opened on it by the Semi
anthracite and Broad Top Improvement Com
panies, both of which are prepared to send
coal as soon as the track is completed. This
Company own five hundred acres of very val
uable land adjoining the above, on which the
Board have directed the opening of collieries,
the rent of which they think in a vey few
years will pay the interest on the first mort
gage loan.
These extensions make a total of eight and
nine-tenth miles, from the Shoup's Run branch
about five miles, passing through outcrop of
coal, and affording facilities for the opening
of collieries sufficient to ship a half million of
tons annually. The coal sent to market so
far has been entirely from the lower seam,
know its the Barnet vein, and is a valuable
coal for Locomotive, Rolling Mills, Puddling
Furnaces, and for smithingpurposes, making,
too, an excellent coke, but is somewhat brit
tle and inclined to shatter, and not so well
liked for fuel. The coal from the Cook, or
upper vein, which will now be coming out, is
harder, and will bear handling bettr, and
we predict a large market for it, for fuel and
for steamships.
The division from Saxton to Hopewell be
ing the latter portion of the main road, was
finished by the latter part of July, a little too
late to get much of the Bedford Spring . travel
for the season. A branch of one mile has
been graded on SiX Mile Run, and they are
now laying the track upon it. The Lancas
ter Company have opened up an extensive
colliery on this branch, which they have leas
ed to enterprising operators who expect to
commence heavy shipments of coal by Feb
ruary. Several other mines can be opened
on the portion of this branch now graded.—
The Hopewell Coal and Iron Company have
made extensive developments of coal and iron
ore, and a short branch connecting their mines
with the terminus of the road is being rapid
ly completed. To sum up you now have, in
cluding sidelings at Huntingdon; Markles
burg, Rough & .Ready, Saxton, Hopewell,
and at the mines, forty miles of track laid,
and three miles graded with the iron on the
ground, making a total of forty-three miles
of single tracroad, costing, with interest on
bonds and stock, extra interest, engineering
and all other expenses, about one million one
hundr6d thousand dollars, or nearly twenty
five thousand six hundred dollars per mile.
Weigh scales have been built at Saxton, and
a Y put in, to turn engines upon; turn-tables
have also been put in at Huntingdon and
Hopewell, and the necessary water stations on
the route. The Company have purchased
extensivewharves at lluntingdon, upon which
they have erected trestle work for dumping
coal into boats, and prepared an extensive
landing for storing coal upon when necessa
ry. Five hundred acres, unincumbered, have
been added to the coal lands of the Company,
making with the twenty-one hundred acres
covered by first mortgage a total of twenty
six hundred acres. At the mines, fifteen new
dwelling houses have been built, and three
collieries put in complete working order,
with the necessary sidelings, loading houses,
platforms, &c. From the report of the Su
perintendent, you will see that there is now
upon the road three first class engines, weigh
ing from twenty-one to twenty-four tons, one
weighing seventeen tons, one hundred coal
cars, three eight-wheeled trucks, eighteen
four-wheeled horse cars, one first class passen
ger car, and one second class passenger car,
with -the necessary hand cars, which, with
the cars furnished by the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, are sufficient for a large in
crease of business. All these things you
will see from the annexed statement, taken
from the Treasurer's Report, have increased
the floating debt to a larger sum than was
anticipated.
The total charges to construction and equip
ment, including the interest on stock, ex
tra interest, incidental ezpenses, engineer

The total cost of real estate, including

at mines, is $96,957 17.
The floating debt of the Company is $373,-

ble cash assets, there will beabout $360,000
to provide for.
The first issue of bonds amount to $500,000

There are besides the above, three hundred

The road, as originally put under contract,
reached only to the edge of the coal field, , and
it was found absolutely necessary to extend
it before it could be made profitable. The
other improvements were all indispensable to
the running the road and working the mines.
It, bad been intended to make a temporary
arrangement with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, for rolling stock, but the press of
business on their road, at tithes, rendered the
supply so uncertain that the Board thought
it prudent to purchase locomotives, and as
many cars as would suffice for the trade by
canal; the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
finding cars for all the coal and other freight
going over their road. Excepting the incon
venience of taking care of a debt, these ar
rangements have undoubtedly all been made
for the true - interests of the stockholders.—
The work has been managed with the great
est possible economy, but it was indispensi
ble that many things should be done which
were not previously taken into our estimates.
From the following summary 'of our freight
agent, Mr. Lawrence, you will learn the total
amount of coal shipped, the earnings and ex
penses of the road,
The total amount of coal brought down,
since the opening of the road, appears to be
forty-two thousand, nine hundred and seven
ty-one tons, and the total receipts for freights,
$45,581.
Since the Ist of July, there have been ship
ped thirty-two thousand, seven hundred and
eighty one and a half tons of coal, and the
total receipts for the six months have been as
follows :
For Coal Freights $19,168 51

Net earnings for six' months 517,442 37
The shipments of coal for the last six ma nths
have been as follows :
In July - ' 6,957 tons.
August 6,5441 "
September 5,110 "
October 3,901 "
.
November 5,719 "
December 4,540 "
Shipments for six months 32,72134
During the six months, transportation of
iron rails, cross ties, lumber and materials
for the construction of the road, was done to
at least the amount of $6,000, for which no
charge has been made, and which - would in
crease the net earnings to $23,447. •
The great depth of snow last winter, and
the intense cold, delayed the completion of
the road, and retarded very much the prog
ress of the improvements at the mines. A
nuriiber which were expected to be in opera
tion by July or August, are as yet not quite
ready to commence shipments, but will be
during the present month or early in the
next. The business of the road can scarcely
be said to have commenced before July Ist,
and counting the first year's business from
that date, the Board feel satisfied that the net
earnings will exceed the estimate furnished
to the stockholders at a meeting held October
Ist, 1855. In the months of July and August,
thirteen thousand five hundred tons were car
ried over the road, and nearly all sold to the
railroads and iron works of the interior. In
September the operators first commenced
sending to this city to any extent, and the
sales were necessarily limited until the qual
ity of the coal was tested. On the Ist of Oc
tober, the operators reduced miners' wages,
causing a turn-out and a loss of a half month's
work. The shipments consequently in those
months were small. In November the de
mand was brisk, the experiments as to qual
ity having all turned out satisfactorily, but
the scarcity of miners retarded shipment,
many having left during the strike.
In the month of December, the closing of
the canal stopped shipments in that way, and
owing to an accumulation of freights at Pitts
burg during a rise in the Ohio river, the
Pennsylvania Railroad could give us but alim
ited number of cars. They are now furnish
ing as many as required. The scarcity of
houses for miners has prevented them from
coming to the region in such nunibers as they
.otherwise would, and- has been one of the
main causes of the limited quantity of coal
shipped. This evil is, however, being rap
idly remedied. Besides fifteen new dwellings
put up by one company, about forty have
been built by individuals and other compa
nies, and one hundred or more will go up the
ensuing summer, whilst all the old farm
houses in reach are being fitted up for board
ing houses for miners. The inexperience of
operators, too, at the commencement, very
much retarded the delivery of coal. All these
annoyances are incident to a trade yet .in its
infancy, but will all, in a great measure, be
remedied hereafter.
Two facts, ho,wever, have been established,
which ought to satisfy any one that a success
equal to the fullest expectations of the Com
pany, is only- a question of time. The one,
that coal can be brought to this market at
the present rate of freights with profit to the
miners, and sold at a less price than the Cum
berland, or taken to New York and sold at
the same rate—the other, that it has decided
preference in the market over that coal, so
far as it has been tried,
The Northern Central Road, with a termi
nus at Baltimore, the great depot of the Cum
berland, is now using Broad Top coal for its
locomotives. The machine shops and loco
motives on the State Road have been getting
their supply exclusively from Broad Top,
since . March last; and the Norristown, West
Chester direct, and other roads, have been
using it to a greater or less extent.. Some
shipments made to New York have given the
greatest satisfaction ; and a trial of it is in
tended to be made soon upon the Hudson
River Railroad and the Long Island.
Six new mines will get into operation now
shortly; making with th© four previously

ed during the summer. ' These mines when
in full operation and vigorously ,worked,_.
should send to market - flvo hundred tons atr
nually. .
. „
For the present year, two hundred and
- fifty thousand tons is a moderate estimate,
provided transportation can be liarkof which
we do not anticipate any difficulty:, . A turn
pike connecting the road With 'Morrison's
Cove, and a plank road connecting the tbrlni;
nus at Hopewell with fhb Bedford tUrnpike,
both 'nearly completed; will greatly increaseY
the local freights: The iin.provements now
making at Bedford Springs, will probably
attract a large number of visitortg; and' add
very much to thepassenger receipts.
The Board think they can now safely say
that there is but one thing wanting to make
the success of,the Company no longer a prob;
lem, and that is the funding of th floating
debt.
You are all aware of the high rates charg
ed railroad companies for money, as well aS
the great difficulty at times of any but the
most favored of getting it at all. The Board
have been so far enabled to meet the engage.;
ments of the' Company by temporary loans,
but as there will be no occasion for a further
increase of the debt to any extent, it is now
decidedly the interest of the stockholders to
convert it into a permanent loan. With this
view, the Board have decided the execution
of a mortgage of $500,000, with eighteen
years to run, with an issue of bonds in sums
of $5OO each, bearing seven per cent. inter
est, payable half yearly, on Ist February and
Ist August of each year. One-fourth of the
net revenue of the road and mines from Jan
uary 1, 1861, after deducting interest upon
loans, is pledged to be invested semi-annually,
in a sinking fund, for the redemption of this
issue of bonds.
The road and collieries can be leased for a
term of years, at a rent under which the
above arrangement for a sinking fund would
redeem the bonds in eight years or less from.
its commencement. Besides this pledge of
revenue, itself a good basis,
- the bonds are'
secured by a mortgage on forty-three' miles
of railroad, twenty-six hundred acres of,coal
lands, with the colleries opened thereon, the
franchises of the Company, the real estate at
Huntingdon and other places, and all the
other property of the Company, upon a con
siderable portion of which it is a first lien,
having been acquired since the execution of
the first mortgage and upon the remainder a:
second lien. There will be, perhaps, after
deducting cash • assets, $360,000 of .floating
debt to provide for. A sale of $200,000 of
bonds would enable us to get along for the
next two months, and a further sale of $lOO,-
000, during March and April, will likely be
as large an amount of the bonds as it will b©
necessaryto sell. The remainder can be used
as collateral, and the sinking fund alluded to
might be so arranged as to absorb annually
a portion of the debt, an equal amount of the
bonds being in all cases cancelled.
Assuming the whole amount of bonds to be
sold, the annual interest on both loans
would amount to
Add 6 per cent. on $550,000 of stock
$103,000 00
The shipments of coal for July and Au.:
gust, from four collieries, were at the rate of
about 80,000 tons per annum. These, same
collieries expect to send to market, monthly,
more than double that average, and with six
new mines getting into operation, 250,000
tons can certainly be counted on for the
present season. Allowing a moderate • in
crease in the passenger receipts and local
freights, and assuming the expenses to be
double those of the past year, the following
will be the result:
150,000 tons, of 2,000 Ms., In Pennsylvania
Railroad cars at 55c $32,500 00
100,000 in Company's care, for canal ship-
ments, at 67c
Passenger receipts, $1,500 per month,
(Last six months, $l,OOO per month.)
Local Freights 15,000 00
Mails'
. 1,700 00
$184,200 00
Superintendencc, maintenance of way and to
tal running expenses, at $5,000 per mouth
(Average last six months, $2,600)
Add rent of mines
$139,200 00
In estimating the expenses, it must be
taken into consideration that the mainte
nance of way will probably be less than for
the last season, the hanks having settled,
and the deep cuts being sloped. The motive
power will cost hut little more; one engine
having been engaged a great part of this'
year in the transportation of iron rails, cross
ties and lumber, for the occasion of the road,
or used with the dirt train, for which no
charge has been made. The Superintend
ent, in his report, estimates the net earnings
for this year at 120,000. Should the stock
holders, however, not have faith in these fig
ures, sonic gentlemen are now negotiating ,
for a lease that will probably take the road
for five years, on the following terms:

The most successful cord roads have had,
at sonic time or another, a trying period in
their existence, which required proMptness
and liberality on the part of their stockholdf
ers, and. for which they afterwards reaped.
a rich return. The finances once taken care
of, the Board 'confidently rely upon a success
equal to the most favored of them: . ,
By referring to the Railroad and Minin g
Register, of September 27, 1856, you will see
that the total earnings of the Beaver Meadow
Rail Road Conapany, in 1851, were but
$88,674, a less amount than will be earned
by the Broad Top Road ? _allowing the year,
to commence — with July Ist, yet, in the year
1855, their receipts amounted to $271,5P4;
leaving, after deducting $105,000 'working
expenses, a net revenue of over $165,000.
Their receipts are said to have increased
$60,000 in 1856: From this you can judge
of the rapidity with which the receipts of
coal road increase, as the mines are develop
ed. That the receipts of your Company - mil
increase in a still greater ratio is to be fairly
presumed as the increase of the receipts from
the mines are to be added to the workingS of
the road.
A gentleman recently from the Cumber;
land region, and who hns been engaged in
mining soft coal for some twenty years in
Nova Scotia and this country, has lately
made an examination of the mines •of the
Ccmpany, on Broad Top, and is.now in this!!
city, awaiting the election of the new Board o
to contract for the lease of the unoecupied
