Columbus Ohio, Nov % (Speciar-Some interesting
facts in connection with the consolidation OF several
coal and iron interests in the Hooking Valley have

baltimore and Ohio road is closely identified with the
deal. The companies included the Superior Coal
Company of Athens, and the Shawnee and Iron Point
Coal and Iron Company, with proposition that the
Ohio and Western Coal and Iron Company and the
Columbus and Hooking Coal and Iron Company shall
come in. The name Of this company is The United
Hooking Coal and Iron Company" Its authorized
capital is 81 100000, with authority to issue
81 OOOO 600 in bonds Its president is John G. stan
tom of NewYork and Orlando Smith, of the Baltimore
and Ohio is the vice president. The Hooking Valley
Railway is in no way associated in the deal IL is
substantially a Baltimore and Ohio combine. Last
spring President Myers, VicePresdent Orlando smith
and other Baltimore and Ohio officials made a tour
of inspection me Hooking Valley coal lands between
Shawnee and Carbondale and negotiations for com
bnation were soon thereafter opened. some lmpor-
tant branches of the road are 10 be run from the
