'AIY DEAR SIR II have been requested by
the coal operators Of West Virginia and
Pennsylvania TO give you short statement
aud comparison of the great difference be-
tween The cost Of shipping Nova Scotia coal
and our own soft coal

place the mines of Cape Briton are all located
at tideWatcr, sidney Langan, Little Glac'

The distance frcm Cape Brton by sea is YER

the matter is the fact that Broad Top an,
