GREAT COAL AND RAILWAY OR
GANlZATION is PERFECTED.
George L. Carter at the Head OF a Three
Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollar Corporation.


Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollar Corporation.
The plan of Mr.. George L. Carter's
operations in the railway and mining
business of this region, are now being
fully unfolded to the public.
AS has been surmised for the past
several months, dating from the for
nation of the South and Western Rail
way Co., it is to develop valuable coal
properties in Southwest Virginia and
to effect direct and independent route
from the mines to tidewater.
The extension of the South and
Western railroad, a work which has
been in progress for several months,
has had this one object in view.
The plans of Mr.. Carter, who has
been energetically pressed forward in
his purpose, are now fully revealed in
a noted organization of capitalists,
which was finally perfected in Bristol
on yesterday
This important transaction in the de-
yelopment of Southwest Virginia and
East Tennessee, and particularly of
the Virginia coal fields, occurred in
the office of Mr.. Carter, in the Burson
building yesterday when the Cranes
Nest Company was organized, with a
capital of three million five hundred
thousand dollars, for the purpose of
taking over coal properties in Wise
and adjoining Virginia counties, ag-
gregating considerably over one hun
dred thousand acres.
Mr.. George L. Carter is president of
the new corporation.
The directorate is composed of the
following gentlemen:
Evans r. Dick, of Dick Bros, bank
ers, New York.
George Blackstone, president Union
Trust Company, Baltimore.
f. J. Lisman, of F. J. Lisman & Co.
bankers, New York.
Nelson Perrin, capitalist, Baltimore.
Otto 7. Barnard, president Cont
mental Trust Co., New York.
Miles White, Jr., capitalist ant
banker, Baltimore.
Samuel Hunt, president Detroit
Southern railroad, Detroit Mich.
Seymour Mandelbaum, capitalist
Baltimore.
George L. Carter, Bristol, Va.
AT the same time the above nance
gentlemen were elected to the direc
ttorate of the South and Western Rail
way Company, and it is understood
that the line of this railroad will short
| ly be completed so as to give transpor
tation facilities from the Virginia Goa
fields to the Atlantic coast.
