Coal canyon is where the road TO the

the mountains east of town. The name
comes from this road having been used
for hauling coal to the Sutherland and

We're in operation.
In the course of looking after the
work of the Sutherland mine the past

Historic Old Punch Bowl To
Be Shown at EXPOSITION

a remarkable history, a quaint old relic
of three centuries, and the only ar
ticle saved from the historic old home
of Col. Edward Amber on jamestown
Island, which was burned by the Bri-
fish during the war of 1912.
connecting link between the past and
the present 1t occupied the place of
prominence on merry occasions dur
ing the gay social hours of colonial
times. 1t still remains in the family
of its early possessors. In these old
times part of jamestown Island be-
longed to the Jacquelfn Amber de-
scendants until the war of 1872, when
it was sold by Col. Edward Amber,
son of Col John Amber, of James,
town. During the war Col. Edward
Amber was stationed at williamsburg,
where he was joined by his wife.
While Col. Amber and his family
were at Williamsburg, leaving their
home occupied only by a few negro
slaves, some of the British warships
assembled the James river and burned
the Amber home. A few days later
when Mrs. Amber returned and stood
by the charred ruins of her beautiful
home she inquired of the group of
! negroes around her: why, didn't you
save anything at all?"
A little black urchin stepped for
ward and said:
Yes, Missus, 1 saved sumpin."
