The Coal Region.

On one of the finest days of this beau
tiful season. VIM T. Price, of the firm oi
Price Brothers, came and requested us to
go out to his fathers, two miles north of
town. An omnibus load of persons went
Mr. Price, Sen, lives a short distance
east of the old Crookham residence, now
occupied by Henry Vanfossan. We
found Mr.. and Mrs. Price at their nice
tasty home, happy and contented. We
were we'll acquainted with them when
they resided in town, and they were ex-
cellent neighbors. They were glad to
see US.
After getting a drink of water, our
crowd, some dozen men, started up
through the fields north of Mr. Price S
house. Half way up the hills we got
among the entries of the coal banks
There were six entries on the two sides
of the hollow running through this field.
When we got to the top of the hill we
found it to be very. high and the town of
Jackson was in plain view, apparently
down in low valley. The landscape
from this point appeared very beautiful
Now we went down the north side Of
this great hill. 1t was steep, and when
road, which runs up from the Horse
Creek road 4, ere the Price Brothers
have driven entries into the hills on both
sides Of the railroad, some 80 feet up the
hills from the railroad We went some
distance into one of these entries, and
found the work of very substantial
character The coal is about 80 inches
in thickness, and is the very best of the
hill coal. This fine coal extends for
miles around this point.
The Price Brothers have new store
house up, and well under way. They are
going to put up a number of residences
for their miners, and will furnish them
with goods and provisions at the mines,
and thus save them the trouble Of COM
ing to town once week for supplies.
The Price road is over a mile in
length, and is just mile and half in
Guiding side tracks and switches. We
walked down to the Adelphia road, and
passed the mines of James Carr and John
J. McKitterick, both on this road.
Messrs Carr & McKitterick took stock in
the road In a short time this little
branch road will fill a vast number of
cars. The great complaint now is, all
along the Narrow-Guage, that cars can
not be procured.
Taking the region of country from
Vanfossan's on the west, to Wellston and
beyond on the east, and from Young
America and Petrea, to near Byer's Sta
ton, is the richest field of coal in the
United States. We learned that Mr.
McClintick is going to open out his
Petrea banks, and take the coal over to

A Correction.

Dear Standard:
Tom Delay informs me that l was mis-
taken as to one or two points, in my Cen
treville article. Tom is truthful man.
He assures me that when Capt. Barlow
spoke of some one favoring Wash. Reed,
he meant Bill Owens. Now, how will l
get out Of this? Which shall I apologize
to-Barlow, Delay. Owens, or Reed
They are ali very fne-looking men. l
am not very we'll acquainted with Mr.,
Reed, but Tom Delay assures me that
Reed is the very image of Owens. Tom
never lied to me, and l give him the
benefit of this statement For my own
part. I think they are all handsome.
There isn't one Of them who is not a bet
ter-looking man than Ben. Butler.
JOHN.
P. S.-Since the above was in type,
Capt. Barlow has been in and assured me
that although it may be rough on Reed,
he meant Owens instead of Delay.
