AZ prominent coal land dealer and
Spectator was In town this week, and
while here reviewed to the Journal the
probable important developments for
the year. Among them Is the building Of
the Paint Creek railroad, which he says
Is almost certain to be built. The rail-

Of splendid coal and timber territory.
The Paint Creek railroad touches the
kanawha at Diego. where the advant-
ages either OF rail or river shipment are
to be had. Important coal developments
will also be made on the north side Of

where extensive options are being con-
tracted daily. There Is no doubt that a
bright future is In store for the coal In
