wheels with trailer behind each rear
dryer. The cylinders are 21x28 inches.

Plan TO Merger Virainia Coal and Iron
COMPANIES.

The recent persistent efforts to bring
about merger between the Tennessee
Coal & Iron Company, the Sloss- Shelf
field and other corporations in the
South, has started similar movement
in regard to number of coal and iron
companies in Virginia, outside of the
one of the largest corporations in the
State. The active promoter of the
proposed deal is d. O'Connell, who is
now on visit to this city. Ii the mer
ger IL carried to a successful conclusion
the consolidated company will proba
bly, be capitalized at about $40, 900, 900
So far as can be learned the negotia-
tiOns are yet in an embryonic stage,
and, according to New York repre-
| resentative of one of the Virginia
companies. nothing is known as to how
far the movement may have progress
| ed in Virginia before it was brought
to the attention of certain interests
here. This week, however, something
of more definite character is likely to
| be developed as to proposed plans and
the possibility of carrying out the
same.
1t is understood that efforts will be
made to bring all or part of the fol-
lowing list of corporations within the
proposed merger: Allegheny Iron &
Steel company, New River Mineral
company, Big Stone Gap Iron com.
pany, Longdale Iron company, Low
Moor Iron company, Princess Iron
company, Pulaski Iron company
Richard Wood RadfOrd Furnace, Roam
oke Furnace company. and the era.
ham 81 Robinson company. All of
these concerns have furnaces in the
State of Virginia.-N. Y. Journal OF
Commerce.
