WILL SOON START.
Development of Clinton Coal
to Take Place.

Large Holdings Along Booths Greek
are to be Opened-Hundreds of Coke
Ovens to be Erected Soon Company
to be Organized Before Very Long.
Extensive development of the coal
OF the county is about to begin. This
will not be the Pittsburg vein
but of the Freeport. Clinton district
wall be the scene Of the operations
which are to be very extensive and
important.
For some months coal has been
steadily taken up along Booths creek.
Harry B. Duncan of Washington Pa,
has been doing the buying as agent
for New York and Pittsburg capital
lists. He has purchased more than
500, 900 worth of this coal.
Several thousand acres more are
under option and they are going to be
bought. This block of coal is the
largest compact coal acreage held by
anyconcern in the county With the ex-
ception of the Milholland tract in
Cass district.
The sales have been made by James
NJ. Jamison aud Captain Eli Parker
who had the first big sale of coal In
the county some time ago and who
have been closely connected with ac
tivity along these lines since that
time.
Organization of the company is to
be effected within the next few weeks
a., Il ha OF sNpf.aAnd
to improve their holdings. This will
cause the expenditure OF much money
and will bring hundred more into the
county to swell the population.
A railroad is to be built up Booths
creek from Ellington to the location
of the mines which are to be some dis
lance up stream. -Four hundred coke
ovens are TO be built and the coal
will be cooked as well as shipped with
out further treatment than mining.
Tests made of the coal shows that
it makes coke that is better than the
celebrated Connellsville coke which
has been the standard for so many
years. Six car loads of the coal has
been mined and sent to steel makers
who were making special tests of it to
see what it will do.
1t has Teen found to meet every re-
quirement. The vein is not as thick
as the Pittsburg seam nor so uniform
in thickness butit is of excellent quail
ity and will be readily worked. The
development of this industry will
mean a great deal to the county and
everyone is glad to know what Is to be
done in this direction.

MORE MARKSM EN-.
U. ). to Take Steps to Have Soldiers
Shoot Better.

Lieutenant Gen. Miles, command
ing the army, has designated Captain
Robert S. Van Vilet, Tenth Infantry,
former graduate OF the State Uni-
versity as the target inspector on his
staff. Captain Van Vliet is now In
the Philippines, and he will come to
Washington. Upon his arrival he
will prepare plans for target practice
for troops of the United States. He was
selected for this responsible duty be-
cause Of his reputation as one of the
best shots in the army.
Prior to the war with Spain There
was a large percentage of marksmen
in the service. Since then there has
not been the opportunity for practice
and considerable laxity in the obser-
vance of the firing regulations has ex-
listed.
There soon will be in the United
States force of As, 600 men, and it
is essential, the authorities state,
that here should be active resumption
Of target practice. Hence the orders
to captain Van Vliet.

An anonymous communication has
been received by Mayor Steele protest
ing against the establishment of the
north end of the Falling Run bridge
The kick states that University Drive
will be practically closed by the
abutment being placed too high
Mr.. Steele says that it was made
high purposely and that descent of
three feet from the end OF the bridge
to Beverley will be made to prevent
water from flowing across the bridge

P0STAL'S NEW BUSINESS.
Supplants the Western Union on the
Big Pennsylvania System.


The Postal Telegraph Gable Com
pany has supplanted the Western
Union at all offices of the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad Company east of Pitts.
burg. BY dropping the Western Union
the Pennsylvania company gives the
Postal 100 new officer between Pitts
burg and New York, and adding TO-
600 employees to their payroll. The
Western Union have until September
Both to get their poles and wires off
the property of the Pennsylvania COM
pany. The Postal began business on
the Pennsylvania last week. Already
the Postal company has started out
an army OF linemen along the rights
of way of the Pennsylvania, east of
Pittsburg, to string up wires that will
displace old ones Of the Western
Onion lines. From this time forward
the Postal company will receive all
the commercial and railroad business
that the Pennsylvania can deliver to
it. In this transaction with the
Pennsylvania, the Postal company OBJ
tains its first important railroad right
off way east of the Mississippi river.
1t has valuable similar rights west of
this point. The new Pacific ocean
cable, now being constructed between
San Francisco, Hawaii and the Phil
ippines will still enlarge its sphere of
commercial prominence.
The Western Union was forced out
OF the Pennsylvania offices, it is un-
derstood, owing to the competition
which the Goulds, its largest stock
holders, are making for the Pennsyl-
yania interests in Western Pennsyl-
vania and the East by gaining sea-
board outlet for the Wabash from
Pittsburg.
