KENovA AS A JopntSG CENTRE.

AS may be seen from tho above
sketch, kenova has ia ,ilities peculiar
to herself as relates to the Wholesale
trade, and there is no reason why It'll
should not become, within short time,
one of tho most important jobbing CEN
tres north of Cincinnati, on the Ohio.
In The first place kenova has the only
bridge across the Ohio between Cincin1
mau and Parkersburg. This affords
ready means OF access to both sides Of
tho river by rail and adds Importance to
the river traffic arrangements.
Kenova has the only trunk line con-
nection leading into the great coal and
tim ber region Of Virginia and West Vir-
GINA and through into the wonderfully
productive mineral, agricultural and
stock raising sections of Southwest Vir.
ginia. Northern and Eastern Tennessee
and the Carolinas.
Tho West produces tho meat and
P"'in used in tho territory just referred
10 and vast amount OF o6her tonnage
is manufactured in tho west which
formerly had TO be shipped there from
the north and east. These considera
iions. together with the further inter
esting fact that Kenova is fully alive tt
her opportunities, afford a safe basis Of
calcul .tion and enables one to prophesJ
with his eyes open.

DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW WEST vIR-
GINA COAL FIELD.
The Superior Quality of the Coal and ES-
cellent transportation Facilities.

BY WALTER GRAHAM.
Written for the Collicry Engineer.
There is much to interest the readers of the
Colery Engineer in the new coal field Just
opened. The extension of the Norfolk and
Western railroad to the Ohio river has been COM
plcted, tho North and South are bound together
with new bands OF steel and Ohio and Virginia
arc ncighbors.
There Is open to us $50 miles OF the lower and
middle coal measures, and great unbrokcn
forest of poplar, walnut, white oak and other
timber. The coal seams are from & feet to II feet
thick, No. 3, or Pocahontas. being II feet thick
ut Pocahontas, and the gas C al seams attain a
thickness OF 10 feet in Logan comfy. The camel
coal Il reported to nc 3 feet inches to 4 feet
thick in Logan county.
But we do not learn the true value or signiH-
canoe OF this coal field and timber region
from looking al 1t merely storchousc for the
North, the West and New England. 1t Is the
greatest factor in tho development OF the South
Upon it is based the change OF the South from an
agricultural to man featuring country. and be
cause OF II the iron ores of Virginia, North Car
Ona ara Tennessee are available.

If Coal Creek would only remain

constable, much less six or seven
hundred troops. Squads have been
sent out in every direction to
search in the mountains and
the camp Is almost depopulated,

conducted from the Methodist church
to cleaner quarters in the Baptist
church. 1t develops this morning
that two militiamen, who were
out on tour through the noun
tains yesterday, and who were
late in getting in last night,
were chased by five armed miners,
six or eight miles back to camp. 1t
was rumored this morning that the

will cooperate in their capture. Prep
