Carson vs.. Reno Again.

Reno has been putting on all kinds
of airs lately just because II few good
mines have been uncovered in her
vicinity, and lately made Carson
green with envy because her enter
prising citizens dug up a petriticd

metals.
California evidently understood
the situation md has come to our

WEST VIRGINIA COAL
Highly Praised by Sir Julian Paunce'
fote-Large Deal Perfected.

one of the most extensive and far
reaching coal deals effected in this
district in recent years, was closed
~, Charleston, when the operators of
about twenty colleries in the district
signed contracts with Q. j. Witten-
berg. president Of the High Carbon
Coal & Coke Company, of New YORK,
to handle all coal shipped east by
them, beginning April /, for the en-
suing year. Mr.. Wittenberg was pres
ent at the meeting, at which these
details were perfected, as were also
Lucien G. Smith, of Richmond, vice
president of the company: and Morris
o. Brooks, its newly appointedgenerai
manager, whose duties as such begin
today.
AS the mines which entered into
the contract have daily output OF
5000 tons the aggregate shipments
Will be very heavy. A large part OF
this coal will be exported from New
port News and will reach foreign mar
kets, to which American Goals have
found admittance.
The Kanawha Goals were very high
" spoken of in report made by SIR
Julian Pauncefote to the carlo Rose
berry. and were highly recommended
for export purposes because of their
toughness and their ability to stand
the rough handling which all coal is
subject to by loading on vessels

at unchanged prices, s16.S7k being off,
cially quoted at the close. Lead also
ruled dull and unchanged at s3.97A6
