the water poured down in torrents for
an hour The thunder and lightning
were awful The culverts were unable
to carry all the water, some burst, and
portions Of the town were flooded.
Fully 400 families were driven to the up,
per stories of their homes, and their GELS
lars and kitchens were flied with water
and Shiny mud. Cellars of stores are
filled with water. Railroad tracks and
streets were turned into rivers three
and four feet deep and the raging tor
rents carried all sorts Of goods and
debris down to the Schuylkill river.
Cars on the Reading and Pennsylvania

agrees with estimates made by practical iron
and steel manufacturers from Pennsylvania
who have made large investments at Big Stone
Gap for the purpose of development.
Furnaces and steel plants at Big Stone Gap
will have, in addition to the local supply of
coke, coal, and pure limestone. the advantage
of location on competing lines of railway, and
the advantage of location on a great system
that can deliver the products direct to all of the
great markets in the Ohio and Mississippi Val
lcys. The ores from East Tennessee, South
west Virginia, and the Carolinas can be ship
ped with advantage to these furnaces, as it is
carving the ores in the direction of the mar
kets, and these ores will give return freight for
the cars of coal and coke shipped from Big
Stone Gap to those States"
FACTS FOR MANUFACTURERS.
The Virginia Coal & Iron Company agrees to
furnish coke at The following prices:
Furnace. Foundry.
At the ovens at Big Stone Gar, $500 $3.50
1t is likely these prices will be reduced un-
der competition, bat take them as they areand

Limestone will cost at least twice as much

in the Alabama and Chattanooga districts.
This coke will cost from 1913 to $50 per ton

comment. Coke can be delivered at the ovens
here much cheaper than these figures indicate,

OPINION OF TWO ENGLISH EXrERTs.
Mr.. John W. Darby, of Wcxhain, Eng, and
Mr.. +. Monks, OF Warrington, Eng, members
of The British Iron & Steel Institute, recently
visited Big Stone Cap. Mr.. Darby is young
man, but has already reached prominent po-
sition among the iron and steel producers OF
England. He inherits his aptncss for these IN
dustrics from ancestors who have been prom
inent in them for a century. His grandfather
