MUSSEL SHELLS
Are Dug Out by Workmen on
the New Union Bank
Building.

While making excavations at the
corner Of Third and Main streets
for the foundation of the new Union
Bank building Wednesday morning
workmen discovered some perfectly
preserved mussel shells buried thirty
feet below the street level. The base
ment of the old Traders building was
about fifteen feet deep and tho men
had been making a hole to put in a
reinforced concrete pier to place
some steel work on, and when they
had dug down about sixteen feet they
struck bed of sand and gravel
which would lead ono to believe that
in the remote past the river covered
that place When they continued the
digging they unearthed the mussel
shells which proves without a doubt
that the place was one time covered
with water.

in all directions. A piece ten feet
long was thrown sixty feet and
landed in the street near the home
Of Mrs. Crummft. 1t happened that
no one was passing by at the time
and the only loss will be the cost Of

Board Of Trade Meeting at
Mooreield, This State,
Next Month.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Edward W.
Parker. coal statisticIan for the
United States Geological Survey. has
accepted an lnvitation to address the
annual meeting Of the West Virginia
Board of Trade at Mooreheld on Sep
TENDER 10 and 10.
Mr.. Parker should make an inter
esting tank to West yirginians as
he is thoroughly conversant with
their natural wealth. the extent and
value of the states mineral resources
and the conditions obtaining in their
development. Mr.. Parker has repeat
eddy emphasized the fact that West
Virginia gets but part OF the value
out OF It's coal and coke by reason
of having comparatively few factories
to create a home market for its
mineral products. Several million
dollars year are said. to be lost BY
the coal and coke producers Of West
virginia by reason Of the fact that
they ship their coal out of the state
instead Of building up home markets
for their products. which would In
crease the value of their output.
The vast industrial communities,
which West Virginia might build up
were it to retain its coal, coke and
gas for use in the state instead Of
sending them away to enrich other
Communities. as well as the increased
prices, producers would obtain under
those conditions. are alVlost hobbies
with Mr.. Parker and It Is believed.
he will open the eyes Of the people,
OF the state to their own waste Of
their natural resources and their
failure to make the most OF what has
been so bountifully bestowed upon
them.
