Cape Tormenting Railway.

Orrawa, April 39.

‘Lhe report of the Engineer of the Cape Tor- mentine Railway, laid on the table to-day. He says that surveys were made of the cvast ine about eight miles on each side of Cape ‘Traverse; suundings being taken from the shores to 2U feet depth at low spring tides, ‘Lhe shortest distance to the 20 foot ime, near Cape Tormentine, was 300U teet, when piers exceeding 5U0 feet would be required for the protection of shipping drawing id feet, like the ‘* Northern Light” at Cape Traverse, 20 feet is reached at 1500. The evidence taken on the subject of winter crossing says that the report appears to show that the most reliable way of crossing during the severe part of the winter is by ice boats, and that a steamer cannot be used dur- ing that period; that there isno part of the straits where the ice opens at regular inter vals; but that the movements of ice are gov- erned by the winds and tides, and that mov- ing ice pressing against bondage ice on either side will prevent a steamer landing pas-

sengers and wails. A screw steamer drawing ten feet, would be most suitable when crossing is _—_— practic-

able. On the mainland, Cape Tormentine is the most suitable place for a wharf for ves- sels drawing ten feet, the distance to ten feet depth being 1,300 feet. It is partially shel- tered by shoals, and is close to the usual ice- boat station. On the Island, Cape Traverse Wharf is the most sheltered distance to a ten foot depth 200 feet, and not far from an_ice-boat landing. Amherst via Tidmish 34 miles, via Goose Lake 32 miles, and to Aulac 314 miles, from Pug- wash to Thompson 154 miles, to River Philip station 184 miles. The estimated cost varying from $290,635 for the longest, to $154,183 for the shortest. Onthe Island line from Cape Traverse to the County Line 114 miles, $102, - 151. The route, says the report. which accommodates St. John and I have, therefore, selected these points for the terminus of the proposed railway to connect with the Intercolonial and the Island Railway. The estimated cost of a wharf of 2100 feet at CapejTormentine,is $147,148, giving 700 ft. wharfage for vessels drawing from 10 to 12 ft. at low spring trides. The present wharf at Cape Traverse would be extended 740 feet at cost of $94,904. Breakwaters may hereafter be necessary to prevent the filling up of wharves with sand. Lines were sur veyed from Cape ‘Tormentine to Halifax most equally is by rail to Wallace er Pugwash and steamer to Charlottetown. Should the route via Cape Traverse be select- ed, an hour more would be taken for the jour- ney. The usual delay en route would be obvi- ated by the construction of the Cape Traverse route. This route is also the only one suitable for winter crossing of iceboats.
