Ex-Postmaster Don NJ Dickinson of
Michigan, who has just returned home
from visit covering several weeks to New
York, Washington and Boston, in an inter
view published in the Detroit Free Press, Of
Monday, gives as the result OF his observa-
tions the following view of the political
situation. He says
"The alarm that was felt by many south-
ern Democrats, Immediately after the mid
winter convention in New York, has been
entirely dissipated, and the south is declar-
ing itself most heartily for Cleveland. The
men who advocated at a certain iuncture
tie ncarnation of western man at the
head Of the Democratic ticket, have been
led to see the impossibiity, during the
present unsettled state Of the currency
question, of carrying New York, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut and Wisconsin, with a
possibility of carrying Massachusetts and
New Hampshire with western man, and
the belief has steadily grown that the man
who can carry those States is Grover Cleve
land. Mr.. Cleveland IS to-day $4,000 votes
stronger in New York State than he ever
was before; he enjoys the absolute conf
deEce OF the business men Of both parties
there, who feel that with him at the head
of affairs, the country will be safe
He also gives it as the opinion Of Cover
nor Russell that Cleveland was 5000 votes
stronger IN Massachusetts than he(RusseIl3

THE COAL SITUATION.
Some Day Coal Will
Run Short,
But VIII It Be as Badly
Needed Then as Now?

A posr man overheard an interesting
conversation few evenings ago, III the
office Of tbc Inicrmont. between Col. j. ID
Allen. Of the Big Stone Gap Colliery Co.,
and Judge S. S. Savage, Of Ashland. Ny,
ON the probability Of our coal fields run
ting short at some future time. This,
they said, would, at the present rate OF
consumption, certainly lie the case, but
hcfore sucl, time rolls around the great
and wonderful inventive powers OF man
will have proven itself able to cope with
such in emergency.
The immense coal deposits of the coun-
,ry, and its cheapncss and convenience
naturally brings about 81 reckless con-
sumption and only in the last few years
have efforts been put on foot to curtaiI IFS
cxtravagant nse. The great coal nclds Of
England have gradually been consumed,
50 far as profitable mining is concerned,
and some dav ia The future those Of the
United States will he worked out. Already
in MANY Of the mining districts year after
wear operators arc forced further and
furtherrrhack from The main lines OF rail-
rood and conyenicnces. Of course such
an even. IN this immediate field is in the
lar distant future; still, it will come, aud,
wear after year, az operators are forced
further back ah,ith present convenient
Goa! properties arc worked out, the isolated
coal lands that can now he bought at Il
very low price, will gradually increase i'll
value.
10 the common-scnsc reasoning man
nothing can present Il better opportunity
for profitable investment than The cheap
coal lands Of southwest Virginia. and east
crn Kentucky.
Haudretls.of thousands of acres of this
fine property, living along natural railroad
routes, and where railways will naturally
be built, can be bought up to-day at from
50 to IS per acre that in the course of
very few wears will increase in value to
$50 or 500 per acre. This is no wild or
speculative statement, FOR, to reach this
conclusion we have onl, to review the
history Of other coal fields and the result
is clearly shown.
In fact, as-a convincing faet OF tic
truth Of this assertion, it is only necessary
to call back five to SIX years and think of
the coal property in Wise county that at
that time was selling at ~ to IS per acre
that to-day could not he bought for 500
to $500 per acre.
In this unequaled coal field, the door
stands wide ajar to men of capital, and
Invites them in, and those who come are
sure to he crowned with success.

+ Instead of $5,00O000, the amount Of

the Tooth anniversary Of the discovery of
America. The diverse has head of CO.

No sooner was the law passed, than LETT
ters began to pour in upon the Worlds
Fair commission from people anxious to
obtain them. Special bids were made for
the first coin minted Of this issue, which
continued until an offer Of $4,000 was
made for it, and accepted. Large offers
were also made for the a00th, l492d and
1920 celns asrack, which were also sold.
! The Worlds Fair commissioners, seeing
that there would be an, enormous demand
for the coins, concluded that they would

Mr. Bird expects to complete the othe

/ Mir. Bird expects to complete the other
! furnace by early spring, and is also Ggur-
ing OH an addition of 200 coke ovens.
These additions would increase the labor
| from 300 to 500 men.
| Our coal fields are now being rapidly
/ developed. The litigation of the Virginia
Coal and Iron Co., has been settled by
the highest courts, snd they have practi-
cally started to work to establish u large
coking plant The Big Stone Gap Col
liery Co., organized and managed by Col.
J. H. Allen, of Louisville, KY, has COM
mcnced operations between here and
Norton, and over hundred men are now
at work on the plant. The Colonel is a
man with big, brainy head, plenty of
push and energy, and when he takes hold
of thing he makes it so. Other leases
have been made ic this district, and there
is no longer a doubt about the immediate
development of our coke.
A few words about our timber and
will tell you how you can help us and
help yourselves out of what you may have
thought was bad investment. The Vir-
ginia Coal and Iron Co., own $4,000
acres or the finest timbercd land in
Southwest Virginia, and l am informed
that it will be their policy to sell their
timber only to parties who will manufac-
ture it here, and that negotiations are now
pending to that result. This being the
case we may expect some large timber
industries here soon. Now, with two fur
naccs and one thousand coke ovens i'll
operation, with the smaller Industries
that will Of necessity follow, do YOU not
think that we can reasonably expect
large increase in our population during
the coming year; and don't you
think you would be exercising better
Judgment in investing your money here
than year ago? We do not expect
boom next year, but we do expect lesiti-
mate demand for good property. There
are no vacant houses here and find quite
Il demand for improved property, and
those who will build will be the first to
sell their lots. We appeal to you to send
some of your casa out and improve your
lots Lumber and building material arc
cheap, wages are reasonable and houses
in great demand. A house not quite
completed being built on lot costing
$500. was SOLD for profit Of $500 few
days since, and the party building it had
II number Of applications to rent it mt 10
per cent. on his Investment. Taxes are
not high, water and electric light cheap,
and plans and specifications will DO fur
nishcd free to nOu- presidents who have the
grit to invest II little more of their money
here. By building here you will add to-
the appearance Of Big Stone Gap, bring
in fresh capital and more laborers and
realize handsome returns. Think about
this; come out and investigate for your
selves, and do not sit back and wait for us
to do everything. We will do our part.
