Roberts has been en- gagged with other engineers in laying out branch road to extend from the main line of the Norfolk & Western in to the Pocahontas mining region. A portion of this line is laid out at an elevation of 5000 feet above sea level. While engaged in this work, MT. Rob- erts with the railroad force had to live in rough mountain camps and while it was much like the life of the back woods, MT. Roberts says it was good healthy life. His last camp was nine miles from the nearest town and his party not getting fresh meat very fre- quently, always had pen of opossums which helped out in table fare. Mr. Roberts brought home one of these
 
 mountain regions of the south. Their last camp was located within dis tance of from five to twenty miles of the line of West Virginia, North Caro- lima and Tennessee. He says the coun- try is rich in coal mining and that is all. During his stay, there was bad explosion in one of the bituminous coal mines and ten men were brought out of the mine dead
