AFTER PINE BROOK CoLLIERY
Rumor Has It the D. e. H. Proposes
to Buy It.

In discussing the recent notable
changes in policy inaugurated by the
Delaware and Hudson Canal company,
the Archibald Citizen of Saturday said:
The mines of the Delaware and Hud-
son company are among the oldest in the
valley and some of them are practically
exhausted. The management of the COM
pany realize that in order to be a factor
in the coal trade they must draw from
some of their own resources or purchase
from others.
The latest report in circulation is that
the company is about to purchase Pine
Brook COll1ry of the Lackawanna Iron
and Coal company and that 1t has made
offers to independent operators in the
vicinity of Scranton. Surveyors have been
at work in the shaft referred to for sew
cral days and the opinion prevails not
without d basis of truth. however, that
the Delaware and Hudson company will
soon come into possession of it, The
breaker is located quite convenient to the
Delaware and Hudson railroad near the
Dickson works,

DEEPER CHANNEL AT NEW YORK
Railroad Gazette.

/ Railroad Gazette.
A great effort is being made by the
shipping interests OF New York to get the
work OF deepening the ship channel, as
contemplated under way. BY the river
and harbor act OF June 3, OF last year, the
secretary Of war was authorized TO have
surveys and estimates OF cost made for a
s5-foot channel from the Narrows to the
sea.
1he present main ship channel is 100
feet wide and carries % feet At mean low
water. and as there are now seven trans
Atlantic steamers which draw between p
and 81 feet OF water, two that draw 30 to
81 feet. and one that draws 81 feet, plying
between this and foreign ports, besides
which there are several vessels being built
which will have draft OF from % to S
feet. the Necessity Of a deeper channel Is
apparent.
AS result OF the surveys authorized last
year. the engineers reports states that the
net cost Of dredging a channel s. feet
deep and 1000 feet wide from the Mar
rows to the sea would be $1,000. The
report also estimates that channel OF
the same depth and 1900 feet wide would
cost s.. 2.T12O0O net. while the cost Of S5-
foot channel 20OO feet wide would be 81
$4,000. These estimates respectively In
cude the cost Of building the four. five
and six additional dredges, al 10000 each,
which would be needed to DO the work. II
the work should be done by contract these
hgures should be increased about - per
cent to include contractors profits and
interest on investment
Considering the moderate cost for which
this Improvement could DE made, remem-
berlng that during the last fiscal year over
81 per cent OF the total exports and 50 per
cent Of the total imports cf the United
States passed through the port Of New
York. shipping men believe that united
effort should be made by the commercial
organization OF the port to secure the
passage of an appropriation in the next
river and harbor bill sufficient to carry
out the work. Moreover, II Is believed
that the matter Of making a deeper chan
mel should be got under way as soon as
possible, in order that other necessary
improvements, which are now under con-
sioeration by the light house board, and
the carrying out of which to a measure
depends upon any changes that may be
made in the harbor, may not be post
poned longer than necessary,
A resurvey of the harbor is now being
made which, 1t is expected, viii be finished
In three or four months. When It is COM
pleted, the practiclbility of deepening the
east channel, shorter and more direct
route to the ocean than the main ship
channel. viii be considered While the
marine interests first seek S5-foot chan
mel, they would also prefer less compli-
Gated and shorter route than the main
channel affords and 1t will be their en-
deavor to have sufficient appropriation
made to accomplish one or both of these
ends.
