THE HUB OF THE SOUTHWEST vIR.
GINA COAL FIELDS.

coal fields Of Wise county,
offers to investors and the man
ufacturing world as large a
field of natural resources as can
be found IN any one section of
the United States today.
The town is located in a
broad fat valley watered by
the north and south forks Of
Powelrs River, which affords a
perfect natural drainage sys-
tenn. For its water supply, it
upon the limp d
i'm the mountains, thir-
ty-five hundred feet above sea
level The waters from these
springs are conducted TO the
town by pipe lines, which de-
velop a ninoty-fve pound pres.
sure throughout the year. This
coupled with an ade-
Quate fire department affords
the tow wn ample protection
against fire.
Big Stone Gap has in its very
center one of the best school
buildings I'm the State of Vir-
ginia, and the educational ad-
vantages offered are unsurpass-
ed But mans labor is indeed
limited as compared with the
wonderful works of nature sur
rounding this beautiful town.
Coal, the King, is everywhere
TO the northward and of the
highest coking quality. AL
ready thirty seven hundred
ovens pay their daily tribute in
coke to the iron world. The
quality Of this coke is too well
known TO need note, it is diff
cult TO estimate the volume of
coal in the nearby mountains;
new plants and batteries of coke
ovens are the daily conversa-
ton, as there are always new
openings or new ovens being
built.
Big Stone Gaps iron ore de.
posits are second only to the
coal measures. Already fur
mace has been built, and il has
proven beyond a doubt that the
nearby ores are of high com
mercial Importance.
Mountains of limestone are at
hand, and, in fact, form the
lofty portals of the Gap" The
limestone is of suitable quality
for lime burning purposes, and
contiguous TO this is the cement
rock, in quantity and quality,
that would warrant the erection
of a cement plant o f large
capacity.
The mountains that surround
this beautiful town are covered
with virgin timber--oak, maple,
chestnut, and popular; and
within a very few miles. toward
the Kentucky line, are thous-
ands of acres of untouched for
est.
Westward, mile or so from
the center of the town, are de-
posiss of brick clay of good
grade, and for the brick manu-
facturer.the fields open, as he
would have no competitor with
IN a radius of many miles.
There is abundant wood at a
very cheap price, and a twenty
i've cent coal rate should he
burn his brick with coal.
Mans labor has gwen to Big
Stone Gap three railroads into
the markets of the South and
West at low rates of freight.
There is an industrial standard
gauge road which connects the
three main roads for making
traffic connections.
