Man Who Made Business.
The men who have made the Paint

men OF wide and practical experience
M. T. Roach, OF Charleston, w. Va.
the president of the companies. Is
recognized as one of 'he foremost coal
operators in the business and as one
who Is versed In all its branches. He
was formerly a railroad man and held
high positions In that profession. rank

He foresaw the future OF West vir-

sure guarantee Of success in this
step.
Continuous Achievement.
The short history of the Paint Creek
Galleries company and Of the New
Fuel Co. Is one Of
continuous achievement. 1t may be
said that these companies came as y
result OF demand for the most pro-
gressive methods in coal mining and
marketing and the growth OF their
output has justified their being
Two years ago. the Paint 'cfsek
mines sent out 1,100,0oc tons of coal;
last year the product was 100000
tons and this year, as has been stated.
1t will approach 100000 tons ami
that mark may be exceeded.
This has come. not by an accf
dent but from q broad handling OF
business by far-seeing. practical men,
by the efficiency OF large production
and the superiority of these Goals for
their various purposes.
Thus II is that the output OF the
collieries may now be measured In

The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1908-03-23


With the advantage proceeding from
his thorough knowledge OF railroading
Mr.. Roach was enabled to bring the
field into greater prominence and
widen the scope OF its market. The
new collieries company had secured
the finest coal properties In all grades
OF coal. taking In none of the poorer
ones. and its commercial advantage
has been steadily pressed.
Finding that the most convenient
manner OF marketing the coal pro-
duced would be through separate or
ganization. the New RiverKapawha
Fuel company was organized and its
Offices established in Chicago, Cincin-
natl, Richmond. Va. and Boston. The
main otfices are in Charleston. West
Virginia. adjacent to the mines.

EFFECT OF HART-AGNEW
LAW ON EMPIRE STATE RACES

Albany, y. Y Dec. 16.-John S. Shea,
supervisor of racing accounts, has filed
with the state controller his annual re-
port, which gives the first official fig
ures OF the effect of the Hart-Agnew
law on racing associations in this state,
so far as the per cent special tax is
concerned In 1907 this tax, which was
levied on associations racing under
licenses from the State Commission
amounted to $246.429.16, or within
s3570.S4 of the s250,000 appropriated
by the state for the benefit of the
county and town fairs.
For the season which closed in NO.
vembcr last, the total was $77 1864 If
the Legislature should again approprl-
ate $2JO,000 for prizes at these 1alrS
the amount needed from the state
treasury would be $172,533.16. The
difference between this tax item last
season as compared with 1907 is $685.
962.32. This report has peculiar IN
tcrest. inasmuch as it demonstrates
that. as compared with 1907, there was
a loss in revenue to the several asso-
Citations of s3,339, ,246.40. From statis-
tics gathered elsewhere it is shown
that the decrease in the value of the
purses competed for was $1.O27. 100
an amount which was materially suS-
tanned by the action of the majority OF
the courses running off stakes that had
been closed prior to the passage OF the
anti-public gambling law.

The battle showed that Nelson was

proved to be the toughest younSster
that has been seen in this vicinity for
some time. He could stand all the pun

Cote dropped his guard in the sixth
round and let Nelson land his best

Cote d little, for the Biddeford boy
only smiled.
Each had the better of two rounds
Cote taking the second and fifth, and
Nelson the third and fourth.
