occasion. Experts declare that the
lection Of the State through which
this new road runs will yet become the
richest bitlminous field known in the
world. When mines along this road
have been opened, and are in full!
working order, West Virginia's output
of coal will be greatly increased. Anil
Il must be remembered that this road
was built. and these coal properties
were opened up, under the knowledge
that there was a protective tariff on
Loal and with the belief That tlis tariff
would remain. In the year 1907 the

numbers to 1896. 100000 tons. OF this

OF coal over sixty thousand miners are
