MIDLOTHIAN COAL MINING COMPANY
Some DAYS since we published notice of the opera
tions of this company from facts furnished us by
friend, and then stated that an experiment had been
made with shaft by which it was found that more
coal could be raised per day than the Richmond and
Danyille Railroad Company prepared TO trans
port to Richmond. day or two after the appear.
ance of that notice, officer of the Richmond and
Danvlle Railroad Company called on US and informed
that had been led into error 40 Doubt Gnnten-
tionaly, the road had transported TO the city
few days before, 500 bushels of coal We made
this statement to prevent injustice to either party
and now we are furnished with the following, which
we give for the benefit of both parties:
81 stated that the Richmond and Danyille Railroad
Company did not transport their lateral coal
road by means of their drum, as much coal as was
wasted daily during the experiment made OF the ca
pacity of one shaft in raising coal. again repeat
that the facts So and now give you the data On
loaded OF this quantity only 25 cars were taken by
the Richmond and Danvile Railroad Company from
the pit and carried their lateral drum road. On
the second day "a were hosted and only 70 were
taken from the pit their lateral drum road. On
the day after that, the Richmond and Danve Rail
road Company did take from 81 the pit and transport
is the most that company has ever transported over
that road in day These 80 hold at most an a
gregare of ago bushels instead of 900. 1t seems
that an officer of tine Richmond and Danvile Railroad
Co. seized upon your omission to notice my express
reference TO the capacity Of their present arrange
ments for transporting coal by means of their drum
over their lateral coal road made no reference to
tho of capacity the main road, but it should
be borne in mind that all the coal from the Midio-
THAN Mines has to pass the lateral drum road to
reach the main track if only $3.50 bushels in
day passed over the lateral road by the drum
bushels could not be ansported the main road
without transporting ears lying over previous day"
We have given the above facts that there may be
misunderstanding to the object of the friend of
the Midlothian company and the officer OF the rail
road The first gentleman merely designed to show
that the Midlothian company was doing an extensive
mining business and would require increased facili-
ties on the lateral drum road the ensuing year to
transport its coal to Richmond and the last gentle
man, supposng that reference was made to the main
road, had no other object, presume, than to let
the public that the facilities that amply
sufficient for all practical purposes
Our object in noticing the facilities OF both, was to
and If we can in doing this the public will be
satisfied with both companies, however much the
first supply aud the latter transport to Richmond
but if the present high prices to be maintained,
it will matter very little to the masses whether
either both or neither are to blame for it.
