The New Coal Elevator

A coal elevator is new Institution in our

convenient delivery of coal are used in other

the weight of the structure. The elevator or
coal pocket, as it is called elsewhere, is 200
feet long by 80 in width, three stories high
and built in the most thorough and workman
like manner of Southern pine timber. The
supporting posts are 70 by II inches square,
the strngers 8 by Is, and so feet long, and the
flooring timbers are by IA inches and 80 feet
long. The wharf story is higher than is
usually built and the second or storage one, is

There are one hundred and thirty apsrtures
in the main floor which are opened and shut
in an ingenious aud simple manner; the coal
then falls into a screen by which all the small
sizes and the usual coarse dust are sifted out
aud thrown into places by themselves, while
the clear coal of the size required is dumped
into the coal car or train below; different sizes

This mode of screening is a great saving of
hard labor and forms one of the principal ad-
vantages of the elevator. The work has been
done by the day under the immediate superin

Of coal is expected to arrive on Monday next,
and will be the first to be put in the elevator.
AS Messrs. Randall & McAllister have
large out of town business over the several
railroads, the facilities for thus receiving
screening and delivering coal must be favor
able for reducing the rate of transportation,
and thus cheapening the cost of the article to
consumers. The Grand Trunk and the Port.
land & Rochester railroads have just built
some new coal cars for the express purpose of
transporting coal over their roads.
