C. & O. Coal Pier Forces After
New LaureIS.
GOAL FIVE MILLION TONS
All Concerned Are Cooperating and
=, They Propose to Make Newport
News tie Greatest Coal Shipping
Point in Western Hemisphere.

Present indications are that super
intendent of Terminals E. !. Ford
and his forces will have most sue
cessful year in the dumping of coal at
the Chess peake & Ohio docks and 1t
is probable that the 5000 000-ton mark
will be reached in 1910. All things
being considered, the year has begun
auspiciously and already the dump
ings are far ahead OF those for last
year.
Though the yea ris less than three
months old. several new records have
been established and Mr.. Ford ana
his men are out for new iaurels. Ihey
are determined TO make Newport
News the greatest coal shipping port
in the Western hemisphere and III
this they have the hearty cooperation
and assistance of President George
w Stevens and other of the railway
officials as well as the officers and
local agents of the companies ship
ping black diamonds out of this
port.
Reach 100000 Mark.
At the beginning of business yester-
dav morning total of 979,lO6 tons
had been dumped since January /,
1901. This was an increase of 1872
O75 tons over the dumpings for the
same period of 1909. the figures for
that period being 7S7,031 tons. The
1000 900 ton mark for this year will
he reached today, whereas last year
it was not reached until nearly the
middle of April.
Yesterday there was 56.240 tons OF
bottom" in port with 1l4,650 tons
more under charter. There has been
plenty of bottom" here this month
and but for the fact that the ship
ments of coal to the West were I'M
usually heavy this month. the 50O,-
0OO-ton mark would have been reach
ed at the docks for March. The
movement of coal to the West cut
down the supply here and prevented
Supt. Ford from attaining his North
Pole"
Another New Record.
AS was predicted in this paper yes
terday, the record for daily dumpings
here was smashed Monday, the re-
turns yesterday morning showing that
a total of 81 .307 tons of coal, or 7O2
cars, was dumped over the docks.
The best previous daily dumping was
30.641 tons. or 6S3 cars. on Monday,
March Il, 1910.
With the increase in the output OF
coal here it necessarily follows that
there is an increase in the earnings
of the Chesapeake C Ohio Railway
Company. The gross earnings of the
road on the coal dumped here last
year was something more than $4,000
900. Indications are that it will be
about s7,e00, 900 this year
