Pioneer Coal Operators, No Conn.,
pany Stores, Our Most
Extensive Enterprise.

MANUFACTURING concerns are
AhJ OF direct and indirect benefit to
the community in which they are To-
Gated, distributing as they do immense
sums of money which directly OF indi-
rectly benefit all of its citizens and
when a plant reaches the magnitude
of the Listie Mining and Manufacture
ing Company, it becomes a benefit to
the county aud commonwealth.
The owners and operators of the Lis
tie Company are men of wide business
capacity and experience, possess ample
capital, and thoroughly understand all
of the details OF their extensive
traffic. They came here from DInyille,
Pa, in July, 1892, and at once began
TO develop an extensive coal-mining
plant, the rights aud privileges Of
which they had acquired by purchase.
AT the outstart they were beset by al
most insurmOuntable Obs,ructions, and
it is entirely owing TO the indomi;a
ble will power, business energy and
push Of the owners that the mines
were opened up and market found for
their product. Il Is common saying,
and truthful one withal, that ninety
nine meu out Of one hundred would
have abandoned the task Of developing
the Listie Mines, but there is no such
word as "fail'' in the Listie lexicon.
Numerous drifts were opened at great
expense to the operators aud it was not
until March, 1898, that the first ship
ment Of coal was made from the Listie
Mines to the seaboard.
This vein Of ,OaI was at that time
unknown and uItried by the great coal
consumers OF the country, and it was
no easy task for Mr.. Krebs aud his
sons to get it introduced and to build
up a market for their extensive output.
In addition 20 the obstacles referred to
they were more or less handicapped by
lack of railroa facilities, which we are
glad to say have all been remedied
through their persistent and well-di-
reeted efforts. The superior quality Of
the coal gradually asserted itself and
established a reputation throughout the
east which has been recognized, so that
to-day Listie coal finds a ready market
in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston and
along the South-Atlautic coast, even
going into Cuba. Their present ship
meuts average 1000 tons per day, and

He has forced bis way, by an up
right, industrious life, boldly 10 the

maintained an enviable reputation as
a financier, good manager and a man
Of broad minded Judgment aud busl-

seen that review Of the worthy men
OF Somerset would be incomplete with
out a mention Of Mr.. James b. Saylor.
Mr. Sayior IS a Republican in poli-
tics, has always been a hard worker
for the nominees Of the party, but has
never taken sides in any Of the fsetion-
al differences that have existed within

msjority should rule in all cases He
IS a splendid alLaround man, aud
though he has never sought Office,
would make splendid official in al
most any capacity.
Mr.. Saylor's friends ali over the
county are urging him to stand as q
candidate for Sheriff at the coming
Republican primary election, and he
will likely be found ready to make the
race when the proper time comes.
