In order that all coal shall be shipped in good or.
mines and az The shipping ports, will at all times
be enforced. In every district of the coal region
there VIII be appointed number of competent per-
sons skilled IN the preparation of coal local in
spectors whose duty will be to visit the several
coeries daily to see that proper force is at all
ifpossible any coal being sent from the mines in
bad order. In addition to these efforts at proven.
tion, no means Will be left untred at the shipping
ports TO cure the evils Of careless preparation. At
Schuylkili, Haven, Port Clinton, and Port Rich
mond, all coal will be subjected to the personal ex.
animation of a skilled inspector before it is ship.
ped, and if condemned by him, will be dumped in
places provided for the purpose, and before being
loaded into vessels will be thoroughly repicked and
cleaned by hand, at the cost of the owner of the
collery that producedit. In entering into business
as coal merchants controlling production greater
than that OF any other seller, ana embracing more
than two-thirls OF the coal to be shipped from Port
Richmond, the Company are fully alive to the great
Importance OF careful preparation, and will spare
second to none in the country.
The Company's ownership of ninety thousand
acres OF coal land in the hrst and second coal clds
the proximity of those regions to tide.water al
Phadelphia--the advantages of the descending
grades OF the roads OF the Philadelphia and Read.
ing Railroad Company, and of the fleet of steam
golfers being established by the latter Company
render il certain that the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company will always supply large
proportion of the coal consumed upon the Atlantic
coast. In addition to these geographical and local
advantages, the fact that they are the only one OF
the large mining companies whose lands produce |
all the known varieties of Anthracite Coal, from |
the largest White ash to the softer Goals of the |
shamokin and Lorbcrry regions SO much in de. |
mand for domestic purposes. gives them an addi- |
tonal claim upon the favorable consideration of |
the coal-purchasing community.
The anthracite coal trade of this country will |

those who actually represent the ownership of the
coal Itself, aud the ruinous suspensions OF mining
and fluctuations of prices will be avoided. IL will
