FORTUNE IN BLACK DIAMONDS.
Value Of the Thousands Of Tons Of Coal -
Perth and South Amboy.

Value Of the Thousands OF Tons OF Coal ~
Perth and South Amboy.
Thousands of tons of coal ore shipped
from the ports Of Perth and South Am
boy, at the mouth Of the Raritan river.
every month. 1t is loaded in vessels for
all points along the Atlantic seaboard
and many European ports. The coal
docks of the Lehigh Valley railroad ut
Perth Amboy are among the largest in
the world. The docks of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad at South Amboy are
nearly as large in shipping capacity.
In connection with the handling Of
such immense quantities Of coal n OF
the most troublesome problems for the
railroad companies is to keep their roll
ing stock in constant motion. 1t is con-
sidered a loss Of revenue for a car to re-
main several days at a given point, and
everything is done to facilitate the rapid
movement of the cars, both loaded and
empty. For a number Of years loaded
cars were kept standing in the storage
yards Of the Pennsylvania railroad at
South Amboy for weeks at a time. At
times h company was embarrassed for
want of cars to transport the coal from
the mines. The difficulty was finally
solved about three years ago. In place
Of the long string of loaded cars may
now be seen immense piles of coal.
When q train arrives from the mines,
the various kinds Of coal are sorted out
and the cars drilled to the proper side
track for unloading. In close proximity
to each side track stands a large derrick,
with q movable boom extending diagon-
ally into the air about so feet. To this
boom is attached q large travelling belt.
on which are fastened large buckets. The
belt is operated by a small steam engine
in charge of the man who manipulates
the elevator. As the coal drops from the
outlet in the car it falls into the buckets
on the elevator belt and is carried to the
end Of the swinging boom, where it is
dropped in the center Of the pile and dis
tributed by gravity. The coal remains in
these piles until it is required for ship
ment; then it is loaded in cars and trans
ferred to the docks.
The immense piles Of coal usually
contain from 10, 600 to IL. 900 o II each,
and are worth from $40, 900 to 500, 600,
according to the market value Of the
coal. 1t is frequently the case that there
are IL Of these piles of coal in the stor-
age yard, representing a value of from
$500, 900 to $500, 600. 1t was discovered
recently that the coal rusted while in
these piles. This did not detract from
the burning qualities, but affected the
selling value. To prevent this canva
covers were made at a cost Of ST. 900
each. When the piles Of coal are all
covered, the storage yard resembles a
large circus. The sight Of such an i'm
mense quantity of coal is viewed with
establishment by strangers, although the
residents Of South Amboy are SO accus-
toned to it that they never give it a Sec
ond thought.-New York Telegram.

The Republic OF Jones.

'"There was a government in exist
ence within the limits Of my state dur
ing the late war that I find no mention
of in the histories" said Mr.. F. NJ.
Holden Of Mississippi at the National.
I'm the early days Of secession the
county of Jones through its leading citi-
zens withdrew from the Confederacy.
declared themselves a free and indie
pendent people, organized a govern
ment, adopted a constitution modelled
after that of the United States, called
this new government the republic Of
Jones', elected a president and a full
quota of officials and refused to furnish
men or money to the southern cause.
"On the approach of Confederate
troops they would retreat to the swamps
and other inaccessible places and remain
in hiding until the danger had passed.
They kept up this queer attitude Of hos
tility to their own brethren, SO far as
am informed, to the close Of the War
but the republic Of Jones passed u of
the memory Of men with the event Of
Apponattox, and the mention Of it now
in that locality is only a cause for
smiles. "-Washington Post.

A Chamberlain dispatch which
is not always reliable says the removal
OF Capt. Penny as Indian agent at Pine
Ridge agency is causing considerable
discussion at the agency and at the mill
tary posts. May % IA dispatch was
printed which gave the first animation
Of troub! e at Pine Ridge. The charges
are believed to have been made by dis.
reputable hangers.on about the agency
who had conceived a bitter hatred for
the Indian agent because they could not
control him as they desired.
Capt. Penny was appointed in 1891,
and has made a good record. Although
some of the most unruly indians in the
Sioux nation belong to the Pine Ridge
reservation, he has succeeded in con
trolling them at all times.

HALF OF THE CROP Is SOLD.
Northw estern Farmers Have Marketed
sc, 600, 900 Bushels of Wheat.

80, 900, 600 Bushels of Wheat.
MINNEAPOLIs, Nov. 1.-The Journal
srys: One-half the marketable wheat
crop of the Northwest has been sold and
delivered by the farmers. Minneapolis
and Duluth have received since Aug. 1,
As, 900, 900 bushels Of wheat. That is
more than one-half received in three
months of what was received the entire
crop year preceding. Country ele-
vatOrs have 5000, 600 bushels of wheat
in store, and some of the elevator
companies place the amount at
10000, 900. 1t is considered con
Sentative to SAY that country
mills in the Northwest have ground 49,
600, 900 bushels since Aug. !, and that
1900, 900 bushels have been shipped out
of the three states by routes other than
through Minneapolis and Duluth. This
makes a total of 81 900, 600 bushels sold
from the new crop, leaving less than
that amount to be marketed in the next
nine months. Receipts will necessarily
have to fall off Oon and the situation
would appear to favor higher prices for
wheat
