HEF ENTERPRISES.
Something About Two Com
panics Recently Chartered

Which Expect to de Business in Nor
gantesn-Big Coal Company is One
of Them and Stone Company the
Other-Those Back Of Them and
What They Expect to do.
The Niagara Coal Company re-
Gently Incorporated by r. E. l..
Allen and others, has mine open
ing already made ON the 81 acre
tract of coal to be worked by the
company at Round Bottom.
The coal is the Pittsburg seam,
which is here about ten feet thick.
Several hundred tons of coal were
mined and sold last winter.
A tipple will be constructed at the
rivers edge, about 500 feet from the
mine opening. This will have to be
reached by an incline. The coal
will be shipped by the river soon as
slack water is completed, and the
locks in operation between here and
Round Bottom.
1t is estimated that there are
10000 tons of merchantable coal to
the acre under the tract. About
five acres are expected to be worked
out each year, thus requiring twelve
years to exhaust the field. This
would show very handsome profit,
even at the low price of so cents a
ton for the coal.
A track was sent up to the mines
yesterday to haul the coal out to the
entrance. Previously, the miners
had been transporting it cut on
wheelbarrows.
The company expects to be ready
to carry on the enterprise on much
larger scale soon AS the river i'm
provements are completed to the
place SO they can ship in barges.
Another new enterprise that will
add to the already large number of
growing industries up Deckers
Creek is the West Virginia Stone
Company. 1t is capitalized at
100000 for the manufacture of
building stone from sand, lime, CO.
ment, etc. Mr.. John S. Cummings.
the inventor of the process Of manu-
facture, and the practical stone
manufacturer of the company went
to Kingwood on business connected
with the enterprise yesterday The
company has two acres of ground
for a site on the opposite side of the
siding of the Marilla Glass factory.
Mr.. Cummings went right to work
on the plant soon as the company
was organized and will soon be
ready to manufacture building ma
terials.
Foundations have been completed,
and work is progressing rapidly on
the Penn Mirror Company's factory
in the Harner bottom This will be
ready for operation by next fall.
Another plate glass factory is in
prospect for the Deckers Creek Val
ley, and the conditions are so favor
able it seems almost certain the
plant will be landed here.
A blast furnace to occupy site
of 20 acres of ground between Stur-
gisson and Masontown on the M. IL
X. road is one of the possibilities of
the near future. With the large and
cheap supply of limestone, Goa, shale
and water in the Deckers Creek
Valley, the conditions seem to be
very favorable for the location of a
blast furnace.
Preliminary arrangements for the
erection of a mammoth cement plant
are also being made. This is to be
a million dollar enterprise. The
factory will be located just below
the old wooden bridge on the Deck
ers Creek road to Morgantown.

Is A WABASH LINE.
President of Pittsburg, Elk 4 South
ern Says His Road is Part Of could
Sysfam

CLARKsBURG, W. Va, June 12.-
Melville D. Post of Grafton, Presi-
dent of the Pitts burg, Elk 4 South
ern Railway Company, is in the
city on business connected with the
company. He states that the maps
and profiles for this part of the
Wabash system have been filed in
Barbour county, and that in a day
or so they will be filed in Marion
and Monongalia counties, this State,
and in the Pennsylvania counties
through which the road will run.
He added that when the high Of
ficials of the Wabash come to ex-
anime and inspect these surveys,
they will find the route 20 miles
shorter than any other suggested in
this State and the grade just as
good. He believes this road can be
built much more cheaply than any
other mentioned in connection with
Wabash movements in West Virgin
10. He denies emphatically that he
ever stated that this road was not
connected and associated with the
Wabash system and repudiates all
reputed interview with him on the
subject.

HANDSOME GIFT.
Miss XcNurphy Given Testimonial Of
the Esteem in which she is held by
the School Of Music,

Miss McMurphy Given . Testimonial of
the Esteem in which she is held by
the School of Music.
Miss Russell McMurphy was pre-
sented in her class room this morn
ing, surrounded by her pupils and
the faculty of the School of Music,
with a beautiful set of Grieg's Piano
Compositions bound in Morocco
with her name in gilt lettering on
the covers. The set was a very
handsome and artistic gift, and was
especially put up by Schirmer Co.
of New York. 1t is in four volumes
and the gift was an exceptionally
appropriate one, as she has often
been heard to say that Grieg is her
favorite composer.
The presentation was made by
Dean Wrightson on behalf of the
class and faculty. He made some
glowing and complimentary remarks
wishing her God-speed in her new
surroundings, and speaking with
sincere and deep regret at the great
loss the school feels in her departure
assuring her Of the universal desire
Of the entire community that she
might have been able to stay here.
