Refrigerator Storage House

Harry Gait has established a Reflige
rator Storage House, for the storage of
meats, at the Chesapeake and Ohio
depot. The difficulty III purchasing
live stock, especially cattle, in this sec
ton compelled this alternative in order
to supply the local market. Mr. Gait
informed us the other day that all, or
nearly all, the marketable cattle in this
locality had been engaged for Shipping,
and that in order to meet the demands
such provision as the Refrigerator indi-
Gates. Through r. p Lankford, a COM
mercial broker of this place. arrange
lDents were made with Armour & Co, of
Chicago, to snpply the meat demand
and during the past month abont sixty
dressed cattle, thirty every two weeks
have been received and Atored in the Re
frigeratOr. These cattle are sold to To-
cal butchers and letiiled by them to
their customers The quality of the
cattle is first class; young, fat, aud neat;
and they have thus far given universal
satisfaction to CONSTRUCTS. One feature
about the arrangement which Mr. Lark
ford has effected With the Armours, as
their agent, is an ample supply of the
best of meats at all times and at reason
able charges. Mr. Gait informed us
that there was practically beef famine
i'll this county, SO far rs the butchers
were concerned. Those who entered
into job contracts with the retail dealers
were unable tn fill their contracts, and
on this account were compelled to resort
to other means to do so. Through Mr.
Lankford, Mr. Gait has perfected his ar
rangements. rs above indicated, which

Important Sale by q Staunton At
t0ruAv


Capt. Thomas d. Ransom returned on
Wednesday of last week from q very
successful business trip to the coal dis
trict of West Virginia. The object and
result Of his trip was sale of the Gau-
ley mountain coal property, near Hawks
Nest. 1t was owned by English clients
of Captain Ransom. and was sold for
$4,000 to newly organized company
whose principal stockholders are Abraln
S. Hewitt and George Bliss, two noted
city.
About q year ago n sale OF the same
property under the hammer at $50, 500
was prevented by Capt. Ransom with a
personal bid, and soon afterward VIM.
N. Page, an experienced coal operator,
was induced to take charge Of ii. He
has since transformed it from an idle and
rather unpromising property into one Of
the prettiest mines in West Virginia if
not in the whole country. II contains
an eleven-foot vein OF coal, through
which a locomotive track can easily be
laid. It's product is now about 1000 tons
per day.
Captain Ransom has been concerned
in making three important sales of West
Virginia coal property within the last
six weeks. The first was the sale Of the
Harrison and Fisher lands for $4,000 !;
the second was the sale of an adjoining
tract for 100000; and the last was the
$12500G sale announced above. This
last sale was the result of a suit i'll which
the National Valley Bank OF Stanton
was interested The suit was taken BY
Captain Ransom to the supreme court Of
West Virginia, which decided in favor OF
the National Valley Bank last January,
reversing the lower courts decision ren-
dered abont twelve months before
