preston that it benefits the of coal lands
1t is ve known that the price Of coal only saved
from heavy decline the past year by pretty general
suspension Of mining operations for period of
four to six weeks, commencing in October; and
Notwithstanding this Suspension, which was not
voluntary, but forced, as the market would
not take the coal, prices declined, and coal
