pleased with conditions as they found
them. The railroad Is almost ten
miles long, of standard gauge, and
ready for business. At the present
they have one standard freight engine
and enough other equipment for pres
ent needs
The mine property consists of 500
acres coal lands, which is covered
with plenty of timber for future needs.
In the mine "A .4OO.foot tunnel has
been cut and several thousand tons of
coal taken out, and there is now in
sight between four and six million tons
of coal in the first vein, and at depth
of ninety feet is a second vein of about
the same thickness and covering the
entire 500 acres. TO handle the out
put double track has been built from
the mine to the car loader or tipple,
which has a capacity of 5000 tons per
day. Within the mine coal cutting
machines have been installed that will
take out 200 tons of coal per day. A
large power house, machine shop, bath
house, office building boarding house
and bunk houses constitute the build
ings now completed. A large powder
house and a locomotive house will be
built at once
All machinery is operated by cleo
tricity. Coal is hauled from the mine,
screened sorted and loaded into cars
by electricity. The mine, buildings
and grounds are lighted by electricity,
also. In fact, everything is the best
and most modern money can buy.
over two years ago a few cars of
coal were shipped to be tested out in
all kinds of stoves, furnaces and en-
gines, and gave excellent satisfaction.
but because of the great expense of
hauling by teams ten miles it was de-
cided to place no more coal on the
market until railroad could be built
to the mines. The company loaded
out its first car of coal over the new
road last Friday and have quite
number of orders on hand to be filled
as fast as possible. The above will
surely be good news to all those in
terested.

but many others believe the successful
macadam method modified will be the

similar to an asphalt pavement, but OF
a more resilient character. The stone
is all bound together by the tar into n
smooth, firm surface, which can be
swept and washed in much the same
manner as an asphalt pavement.
The main agencies which cause de-
teriOration of tarred or oiled surfaces
are heavy rain. frost and the decaying
organic matter which aCcumuates on
