Description:Excerpt from Haines' Report on the Traffic Resources of the South North Alabama Railroad Sir: In proceeding to carry out your instructions to make a topographical and geological examination of the country contiguous to the line of the South and North Alabama Railroad, with a view to ascertain approximately the value of the lauds of the Company, and to form an estimate of the traffic resources existing and susceptible of being developed by its influence, I have endeavored to conduct my investigations in such a manner as would enable me to collect as much specific information as possible in the immediate vicinity of the road; and as opportunity was afforded, have extended my observations so as to obtain a more comprehensive acquaintance with the general features of the region embraced within the limits of my survey. The execution of that part of my instructions which referred to the mineral resources of the country through which the road is located, was rendered easier by the fact that the line of the road crosses the strike of the strata comprised in the several formations over which it passes, with but a short and unimportant exception, throughout its entire length, and a section taken along its profile will at once exhibit the geological structure of the adjacent country. My first object, therefore, was to make a careful examination of the character and inclination of these various strata, in order to construct such a section, from which, as a base, to extend my inquiries; relying upon my own observation for positive information concerning the location, extent and character of the mineral deposits.
