PRATT COAL co.
BUYS FINE LANDS
ROBBINS & REYNOLDS CLOSE
DEAL WHEREBY 10000 ACRES
OF COAL LANDS CHANGE
HANDs-oN ENsLEY SOUTHERN

The largest individual sale of undevel-
oped coal lands ever made in Alabama has
been successfully closed by Robbins &
Reynolds of Birmingham. The property
involved consists of something over twen-
ty thousand acres, and brought a price
upwards of half million dollars in cash.
It had been rumored for some time that
the deal was under way. 1t is believed
the contract for the purchase was made
during the visit of Ex-Governor Jackson
of Maryland a few weeks ago. The Wall
Street Journal of recent date quotes Gov
ernor Jackson as saying he had recently
invested five hundred thousand dollars
in Alabama coal lands. The exact price
is not known, and probably will not be
given out.
Report has it that after selling the
property to Ex-Governor Jackson, Robbins
&c Reynolds negotiated deal between
Governor Jackson and Mr.. Hillman, Mr..
Mccormick and Mr.. Ramsay by which II
was transferred to the Pratt Consolidated
Coal company The property is said to be
one of the richest tracts in coal in the
state. It carries FIVE seams OF workable
coal, the smallest of which measures
three feet and the thickest eight feet. II
is situated on the Ensley Southern rail
road near the Warrior river.
Robbins & Reynolds are out of the city,
consequently no information was obtain
able from them. 1t is said they are or
another deal Of considerable magnitude
nj rti ac
interested
C. F. Robbins of the firm is resident
of Birmingham. He has been active in
mining and prospecting of coal in this
district for the past ten years. His re-
ports ON this and other properties are
said to have stood the rigid examination
by Pennsylvania experts as well as those
of our own district.
w. b. Reynolds lives in Montevallo, but
makes Birmingham his headquarters and
deals in coal lands in the district. He is
well known in the city and ranks high
in the promotion of trades involving large
stakes.
As firm they have only been in busl-
ness here for the past two years. 1t is
claimed by parties who are in position to
know that their sales in coal properties
during that time run close to two million
dollars
This, coming as 1t does on the heels of
the effort to merge the large iron and
coal properties of this district, is still
greater evidence of the fact that the eyes
of the northern capitalists are on the
Birmingham district which necessarily
means more and larger developments.
