BIGGEST EVER
Fox Run Mine Loads 22l0 Tons
Coal Over Single Triple in
One Day.
BEST RECORD FOR
ANY KENTUCKY MINE.
Mana cement Believes Enthusiastic Work
Of Men Cannot be EquaIled.

Monday was another biz dav
at Fox Run mine, the big, new
mine of the st. Bernard Mining
Company at st. Charles ON the
Illinois Central railroad. And
the days work proved to be
truly the record run" for a
single days coal loading over a
single car haul and tipple in the
State of Kentucky. Manager
Gordon believes that but for a
bobble which occurred in the
early part of the days work
which caused temporary short
age of coal at the tipple, they
would have loaded two hundred
tons more. As it was there was
a total of 2,210 tons loaded on
fiftY-seven railroad cars during
the days run and it is believed
that if the start had been as
smooth as the finish they would
have loaded sixty cars.
Some weeks ago a RIM was
made at the same mine which
resulted in loading 1775 tons,
but the railroad car supply on
that day was not what it should
have been and the management
found that they were not so we'll
prepared as they should have
been to make the test. A short
while afterward the w. q. Dun
can Coal Co, made a test run at
its mine at Graham, KY, which
resulted in loading 1917 tons
during the day into fifty railroad
cars. Later, on June %, an at
tempt was made to make sim
liar test at the McHenrv mine
of the Taylor Coal Company, but
break in machinery prevented
completion of the day and
they stopped with 80 cars loaded.
1t is interesting to note the
difference in equipment between
the Duncan Company's mine and
the st. Bernard mine, because it
should make all the difference in
the world in results. The gentle
men who managed the Fox Run
test call attention to the fact
that they accomplished their
record over single car haul and
a single cross over tipple. They
say that the Duncan mine is
equipped with double car haul
and double tipple, which gives
possible double loading capacity
in equipment, of course requir-
ing double force of men to
handle the mine cars.
The run was witnessed by
miners and foremen from Earl.
ington, Mortons Gap, Barnsley
and elsewhere in Hopkins coun-
| ty and there were representa-
tives from mines in other coun-
ties along the line of the Hi
nois Central railroad. Foreman
w. T. Sisk and his able assist
ants led the men through the
days performance with skill and
enthusiasm. The men were all
greatly interested and left moth
ing undone topile up a big days
work. Whatever may be the
possibilities Of accomplishment
at another place with more ex-
tensive equipment the foremen
and the management believe
that the loyal enthusiasm of the
men as exhibited at the Fox
Run test cannot be equalled any
where. One of the feats that
has been mentioned in this con-
nection is the swift work Of

Upon her return from a drive to

Mrs J. w. Daily, wife of one OF the
