days All the gaps will be closed as
soon as the work is done
East Liverpool capitalists engaged
in the pottery business there have
offered sufficient finances to bridge
the Ohio river at Parkersburg and ex-
tend the line from that place to Pom
eroy, Ohio; hence there win be a
through line by an available route
and touching a number of cities from
East Liverpool to Pomeroy.
Work on the Virginian railway in
this state is being hurried to compile
ton, additional men being placed at
work. The bridge spanning the East
river at Charleston is nearing com
pletion. The railroad could be oper-
ated now between Roanoke and
Pearlsbure, although the road is not
ballasted The New river bridge,
which has the largest concrete piers
in the world, has been completed. The
bridge at Princeton is completed. as
is also the new depot at Matoka.
Work on some new operations at
the head of the Guyandotte river has
been begun, so that the new road viii
have tonnage to haul as traffic from
the start. At the Deepwater end OF
the road there are number of mines,
all of which are capable of producing
a heavy Tonnage.
1t is the general belief this road
will ultimately fall into the hands
of the Goulds and will be used to
force he Pennsylvania and other
roads to allow the Gould lines to en-
ter New York city. The virginian
can haul a greater amount of tonnage
lat less rate than any of the great
|coal-hauliDg roads. as its grade on all
ITS dimes is such that an excellent APP
proach is given to tldewater.
Advertising for Miners.
Many of the co9l mines throughout
the state are advertising for miners,
and the situstion in the mining sec
tions now presents marked contrast
with conditions which prevailed In
the summer, when majority OF the
mines were idle or turned out great
lily curtailed product. Activity is now
becoming more widespread, and there
is not an idle mine In the tsare so
far as is known.
The fan and winter season has
brought about a natural increase in
demand for domestic coal, and this
feature, combined with the renewal
of operations at coling plants and
steel furnaces Throughout the South,
is having y reflex action on the gen.
erai coal trade.
Operators generally are looking for
ward to the most prosperous year In
their history. Nothing but a Goa. car
shortage can prevent the ensuing year
from breaking all records in the
amount Of coal production in West
Virginia,
Many plants on which construction
was started early in the year, when
coal movements were slow, are now
being pushed to completion. Next
year will be the biggest coal year In
West Virginia. or the operators are
poor prophets,
