Central Ontario.—We are officially informed that the extension from Ormsby to Bancroft, 21 miles, is practically all graded, there being only a few small places of rock yet to take out. Two miles of track have been laid & ballasted. The rails & all material for laying the balance of the track are now on the ground & track laying will be started as early as possible in the spring. It is expected the whole line will be completed next summer. This line will open up a fine timber district & give an opportunity of developing a number of valuable mineral deposits. (Jan., pg. 8.)
