From "Went Hazleton it will ro mound Huck mountain, about one-half mile up fioiu the village of Conyiifiham. The lo.id tip to this point will bo virtually level. It will drop down the side of tho mountain at a grade of L'fe per cent, to a point near Drum, In Butler Valley Krom there It will pass through the village of St. .John's, about a mile from Drums; thence up the southeily side of the Neseopevk mountain to a point whore the Wilkcs-Harro and Hazleton turnpike crosses the same, descending Into tho "Schueitz" alley on a grade not to exceed 2 per cent., to a point within from one-half to three-quarters of a mile on the northerly side of Tri angular lake, from which point an up grade will be maintained of 2',i per cent, to a point about 100 feel below tho top of the Wilkes-Uarre mountain, where the proposed tunnel is to be built. The tunnel, which will cut through the apex of the mountain, will be 2,200 feet long and will obviate the necessity of building three miles of roai over the top of the mountain. The noitherly portal of the tunnel will be about llfty feet below the Liehlgh Val ley railroad tracks. This point of the tunnel will be about opposite Warrior Itun. Then there will be a grade of about 3 per cent, down the northerly side of the mountain until Sugar Notch ga; Is reached. Through this the road will pass to the lower Ashley plane and will continue down the mountain at an easy grade, going through the Held near the Brown How; thence under the bildge on the Kinplio branch of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, oth erwise Conyngham street, and connect with the Ashley and Sugar Notch lino of the Wllkes-Harre and Wyoming Valley Traction company. The distance will be nearly thirty miles. The company intends building the ro.id solidly and substantially and hav ing finely upholstered cars, each llfty two feet long, with toilet and amoklru rooms.

The reduction of $1S to $20 a, ton on wire and wire nails made during iYi past week has startled the trade, as wuch a radical drpp in prices had no been expected. It has caused a serious check in business In other branches of the Iron and steel trades, as buyers will wait to see what effect this will have on raw materials and manufac tured products generally. This is be lieved to have been tho largest Ijoi 1 zontal reduction in price In the hlstorv of the iron trade. Its nearest patallei is the reduction in the price of steel rails, which was made in February, ISD7, and for the time caused as gieat a sensation. The elfect of this occur rence Is shown in our market reports from the different trade centres, which Indicate that in some Hues it Is at prcs-ent almoist impossible to make quotations owing to the cessation of business. It will probably boa couplo of weeks until the smoke clears atv.iv and nil parties are able to get their bearings. In the meantime It is well for every body to bear In mind that tho condition of tho country generally Is of tho must satisfactory character. Prosperity lelgns In all branches of business, lallroads are doing an enormous traf fic, workmen are well employed, the prospects fur crops arc of the mos t encouraging character, and our foreign trade Is not only unpreeedentedly large, but continues to grow. Foieign Iron markets are buoyant, and we have j every reason to expect ,that our e- ports of manufactured products will; continue to increase. Sales of south- i ern pig iron for export have bctn Lugo during the week, and tho In Mentions point to much more business of this character. Iron Age.

WHAT PUKSID13NT SAYS. Major T. K. Penman Is president of the new company, and being inter viewed by a representative of The Tribune said that the enterprise is bona fide, and If the city grants the franchise asked for, the work of build ing the load will begin at once and pushed to completion this summer. The project Is n substitute for the Nay Aug park road for which a right to go through the park was denied recently by councils, on the ground that tho city cannot give such ,1 right owing to certain reservations In the title to park lands. The present plans contemplate crossing the Roaring P.rook on their own bridge at Harrison avenue and running up the side of the brook past the ore roaster, ami thence along the Boulevard to the Speedway. The plan also, differs from those of the Nay Aug company in that It contemplates a line through the South Side by way of Prospect avenue to Connell park. This will serve n large population In that sec tion of the city not now accoinmodnteei with street car facilities and furnish the company with a business In the winter season which will bo lacking on the Speedway lino for the present. Major Penman said that a number of Scranton gentlemen are interested In the enterprise and satisfactory ar rangements are under way to finance the company, and they believe that It will he a paying Invest -.ent. The road Is to he built of nlnety Doutul rails to bo obtained from tho Lackawanna Iron and Steel company. and a double track wilt bo constructed wherever it Is possible. Large mod ern cars are to be used, with an aisle In the center, and the seats facing the front, and to bo equipped with a newly-Invented brake that furnishes the largest possible safety on the heaviest grades. This substantial construction nnd equipment will prove to be the most economical ultimately, and are Intended to provide the largest degree of comfort, safety and trpeed for pas sengers. If tho city authorities desire it, the bridge to be built across Roar ing Brook at Harrison avenue will be provldel with a five-foot passageway on each side of the tracks for public use. The construction of (ho road means the disbursement of thousands of dollarr for labor this summer, and so far ns possible local labor of all kinds shall be given tho preference. PLEASURE PARK. Pavlllnis will be erected at Con nell paik and at the Speedway, where band concerts and other Innocent en tertainments may be enjoyed, and probably a recreation park similar to those In other cities will be built by the company, "but under no circum stances." said Major Penman, "shall such places be allowed to develop into re-sorts frr the 'tough' clement, so long ns I am interested in the com pany. Arlde from a due respect for the mora! sentiment of the commun ity, such a condition would be preju dicial to the Investment," Malnr Penman was asked, "What opposition do you expect will develop against your road?" In rep!", h.; said: "That remains to be seen. We have tricu to plan the road so as to pi ef.cn t the fewest pos sible ohjpctlons to anyone. Including the ''cranton Railway company, but necessarily we come into competition with liisU company to some extent, especially on the South Side. Most of tho gentlemen interested in tho Nay Aug company did not desire to build ancl operate a street railway, but did want a load built near their lands along tho Boulevard. They tried to induce the Traction compuny to take hold of the project and carry out their plans, but the Traction people de clined th offer on the grounds that It would not pay. "They did. however, abk the attor ney general for a quo warrantei to annul the Nay Aug charter on the grounds that certain franchises asked for conillctecli with some of theirs ob tained from this city years ago, and which t'u-y never availed themselves of. Those proceedings are still pend ing. The present company have elim inated from their request for franchls most of tho streets the occupation of whicn eemcd to be objectionable to the Traction compapy, and we hope they will allow us to proceed unmolest ed so far as they are concerned. How ever, if the city authoiltles wish to continue the Traction company In monopoly of all the street railway business in this city, why of course wo must submit and quit. WILL BKOIN AT ONCE. "Should tho councils he disposed to grant us the franchise it ought to he given ns soon as possible, so that work may be started at an early dBy and advantage taken of the favorable weather at this season of the year. The reason why we have not sooner pre sented our request for franchise is bo cause our engineers did not complete their preliminary work until about ton days ago."
