It is Btatcd on good authority that a num
ber of prominent Shamokin capitalists will
form a company in the near future and build
an electric road from that town to Mt. Car
mel, at which placo connection will be made
with tho Ashland line. A continuous track
will thus be formed, taking in all the prin
cipal towns of the coal region. The branch
will no doubt be a paying ono. It is intend
ed to take in Springfield, Boydtown and all
tho best mining patches between Shamokin
and Mt. Carincl, including Locust Gap. Tho
scheme seems to bo ono of tho most feasiblo
ever advanced in these parts and it Is a won
der the Shamokin power company did not

make tho connection beforo this.
