South Amboy, Nov. 10:-When
the whole coal loading plant at
South Amboy is completed it will be
the most stupendous work for I'M
loading coal in the United States.
The first a unloader that was

ture of an experiment. The one that
is in process of construction will be

They are now constructing a
steam plant for the purpose of
steaming coal when 1t becomes fro
zen in cars in transit, and from the
design one would Judge that it
would be a success. In the first
place a nest of steam boilers en-
closed in brick with a stack about
125 feet in height Is nearly compile
ted for generating steam which will
be conveyed along through a pipe
least eighteen inches in diameter,
a distance, perhaps, of eight or ten
cars. At short distances this pipe,
which is eight or ten feet under
ground, will have manhoIes reaching
above the surface to which will be
attached a rubber hose, which will
be used for bringing the steam in
contact with the frozen coal, which
it is expected, will be placed In a
condition to be ~unloaded with the
same facility as though it never was
Yesterday morning about 10
o'clock the unloading machine
broke down and as it was such that 1t
would take several days to repair, it
was necessary to get men to unload
the cars on the northern t~restle,
which is still standing. 1t was
found impossible to get enough men
in and around the town to do this
work and the men at work for the
Eastern Coal Dock Company were
to leave their work and
assist until such time as the dump
could be repaired.
