COAL AND IRON co.
The Syndicate That Is PurCh-
aSing Southwest Furnaces.

The Iron Age Of January 18th
contains an article concerning the
syndicate which has recently acquired
control of the most Of the iron inter
estS in the southwest section of this
state, together with almost all Of the
furnaces either in or out of use. The
Iron Age, under the caption Of "The
Virginia Furnace Confederation, "
says:
"For some time since, under the
leadership Of George l.. Carter, gem
eral manager OF the Dora Furnace
company, cf Pulaski, Va, a move
ment has been on foot TO consolidate
all the blast furnaces in Virginia
along the line Of the Norfolk and
Western railroad. a company has
been formed entitled the Carter Coal
and Iron company, with an office in
the Empire building, New York, the
financing being in the hands OF
Moore IL Schley, bankers, New York.
While the negotiations have not as
yet eliminated to the point of making
formal announcement of the plans
of the new company, it is understood
that the property of number of
furnace plants has been acquired
Among them are two furnaces Of the
Grocer Iron company, of Roanoke,
Va; The furnace of the Dora Furnace
company, of Pulaski, Va; the furnace
of the Virginia Development company
at Buena Vista, Va, now under lease
of f. G. Dining, Jr; the Gem fur
mace of the Shenandoah Furnace
at Shenandoah, Va; the
Ivanhoe furnace of the New River
Mineral company; Max Meadows fur
mace, Of the Max Meadows Iron COM
pany; the Bristol furnace OF the Home
Iron company; the furnace of the
Radford Crane Iron company. and
he Graham and Salem furnaces of
he Virginia Development company
)f these furnaces the Grocer, Dora,
vanhoe and Buena Vista furnaces
lave been in steady operation of late,
With a capacity weekly of 2;4O0 tons.
Bristol, too, has been active. Rad
ord, Max Meadows, Salem, Graham
nd Shenandoah have not been run
ling for a considerable period. The
otal capacity of all the furnaces
Enumerated may be put at about
800 gross tons per week. The
My large and steady producer on
he line of the Norfolk and Western
hitch is not mentioned as having
ecome party to the consolidation
that of the Pulaski Iron company, 1
ulaski, Va. None of the furnaces y
long the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
Dad have been acquired, so far as we
an learn. The undertaking is re-
lrded as a good one, since it will
be possible to operate more
fectively the iron ore properties
wv owned by the constituent com
,nies, and purchase to advantage 4
ON outside miners. In other direc- ;
Ons, too, important economies would Z
.obably be effected. ''-Lynchbury :
