As the result Of a combination ef-
fected by Eastern capitalists with ]. NJ.
Guffey, of Pittsburg, $4,000 acres of the
richest coal lands in West Virginia, in
Guiding a network of railroads from
the mines, valued in all at 100000,
pass into the control of company
that will be one of the largest coal
producing concerns in the United
States The land lies in Preston coun-
ty. The company will formally incorpo-
rate next week and operations will
soon be commenced ON a large scale
Mr. Guffey last year secured $4,000
acres of coal land in Preston county,
and LATER added to his holdings by
pu2hasing 5000 acres or more. When
these purchases came to the knowl-
edge Of certain Eastern capitalists they
showed their respect for Mr.. Guffey's
judgment by securing options on TO-
900 acres adjoining the tract which he
had purchased.
Overtures were made some time ago
looking toward a consolidation of the
two properties. The plan proposed was
to join them into single field and be-
gin work on most extensive scale.
The negotiations Jagged for a while.
but finally Mr. Guffey's terms were
acceded to, and he was prevailed upon
to take the presidency Of the COM
pany to be organized.
A meeting to perfect arrangements
win be held II New York early next
