the Lehiph Luzerne Coal Compsny's lands,
which was about 10 pass under the control
Of another railroad company, loan oi S15,-

eleven Thousand shares Of stock, being 55
per cent of the total issue. The loan is Tor
ihree years, but the tonnage from these
lands is perpetunlly bound by contract tn

The Lehigh Luzerne lands lie in the West
ern part uf the Wyoming coal fled. they
co,nurise twenty Eve hundred scrcs, aud
they were the last large budy Of coal lands
in that region whose tonnage was not con-
irolled in the interest Of Une Of the carryi ing
companies. They are now producing a'"ut
100 600 TINS per annum, aud aller ihis ycpr
should ship snno 200 900 tons each year, nn
which our transportation earnings Will be
about thirty cenIs per ton.
During The past year the extended dehen-
ture loan of SlO6,l90 as, the convertible de.
benture loan al SAL 800, and the Greenwood
first mortgage lnnn of SlIO,00O, amounting
in oil to S2S7 ,7lO &C, were paid at maturity.
These payments, aud the purchases aud
loans above rerited, nPcrssltAted some in-
crease Of the floating debt, which, after de-
ducting cash assets, now amounts to nbnut
81, 900 900 against which this company
holds ST4O .00O, OF its consolidated per cent
bonds, $3O6 900 Delaware Division Canal
Companys bonds, and lS,9Ol shares Of ITS
own stock.
The control Of additional freight-prohuc
ing territory, by the purchases and loans
above recited, hos so strengthened our posi-
tion with regar'l 10 the coal trade. which on
account OF the geographical position OF "nr
railroads, must always he our chief source
OF revenue, that il is not thought necessary
to make investments in that direction. We
have reason to look for steady increase, oi
business aud Of net earnings from the region
now tributary To our roads, and this should
enable us to iund our h"atDg debt and re
fund such part of the loans maturing this
year and neAt as we may desire by the sale
Of stock, or the issue Of bonds ut lower rate
of interest. The conversion Of these loans
aud ol the stock Of the Hesquehoning Val
ley Railroad Company will effect a great re.
duclrn in our fixed charges, and will
strengthen very much the position Of our
stock as u reliable dividend paying invest
meut.

himself, inspectors and clerks, but gave
them each pay for day and half, telling
them that that it was all they were entitled
toe They discovered that he had drawn
two days pay aud demar rded the balance OF
