Our Industries.

wv hat shall be done to revive
our industries in Emporium 2"
This question is almost hourly
asked by our citizens, one of the
other In all sections of the coun-
try, in all neighboring towns, hav-
ing less advantages than Empori-
um, business is booming and pros
perity is spelled with a capital
"P." What are we doing in En-
porium to foster our industries
Nothing, except that few citizens
are earnestly laboring to attract
the attention of capitalists to our
undevelOped resources and natural
railroad facilities. With millions
of tons of good coal almost at our
doors, coke ovens and Il modern
iron furnace idle, it seems that
something can and should be done
by our citizens, who have every
thing at stake; should see the nee
essity of giving every encourage
ment to aid in the resumption of
these works. With our furnace in
operation, it would be only a short
time until the demand for coke
would cause the coal mines to be
worked, thereby giving employ
ment to several hundred workmen.
Our coal beds have been carefully
examined by competent persons
who declare that no better, nor as
good, steam coal has been discOv-
cred in the state. In addition to
the valuable coal veins upon the
lands Of the Sinnemahoning Iron
& Coal Company it is a well-knOwn
fact that good workable veins
are located on the lands of c. h.
Kline, G. B. Howard & Co., Pardee
Estate and Noyes Estate. All
that is required to place these facts
before the business world, now
looking for investments, is united
and unselfsh action on the part of
our citizens.
We admit that there has been an
effort for some time to resume
operations at the furnace and the
parties contemplating a resumption
of the plant are now carefully can
vassing the matter. Let our citi-
zens meet them fairly, candidly
and honestly. This, no doubt is
the critical time in the history of
Cameron county, and especially
Emporium. and it behOoves our
people to promptly take up any
proposition made to them and
ACT. With the proper effort on
part of our people, unitedly, we
can see and secure our share Of the
prosperity enjoyed by our neigh
bors. Get up and shake off the
dust-stop croaking.
