I860-' 61.] Document No. 32, 11
There are upon this division l,126,6o2 yards of excavation,
of which 89,022 yards are estimated as solid rock, 13 bridges
and viaducts, requiring 1,125 feet lineal of bridge superstruc-ture.
There are more than the usual number of these structures
on this Division, owing to the fact that it is a river line.
The estimated cost of this line, as located, is $968,048.84
(nine hundred and sixty-eight thousand and forty-eight dol-lars
eighty-four cents,) and the distance from the Swananoa
to Paint Rock, 44.9 miles, thus affording a cheap line to that
point.

From the North-Carolina line to Morristown, on the East
Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, the line has been located,
and is now under construction.
This route leads directly to the Warm Springs, 37 miles
from Asheville, the county town of Buncombe. In regard to
this beautifully located and handsomely improved town sev-eral
lines were traced, with reference to passing through it,
yet, while the distance was .shortened, the cost was very ma-terially
increased ; we, therefore, leave the final location (^f
this line for future consideration.
