The present management Of the big plant
Of The Merchants Coal Company; is with
on, doubt the most satisfactory In the
history Of the plants operation. The men
are very much conien,ed working full
lime and making very good wages. while
the mines all around us are either closed
down or runHiug one fourth time, the
local operation is shining example Of wise
management. Last week they made tho
largest run in the history Of the mines,
running 1912 tons from the field tapped by
the new enieries. Supt. David Phillips
is very able and painstaking official he
treats his men with gentecl courtesy and is
the most popular man ever stationed here.
