B. 49, IL
All the. mines in the Fairmont and
Garksburg regions are working in
full capacity. The railroad facili-
ties for handling coal were never as
good as they are at the present time.
While the mines are working at full
capacity 1t does not means that there
are any new orders OF great conse.
quence, but that the coal companies
are now taking advantage OF the i'm.
proved transportation facilities to fill
the orders that were given some time
ago that could not be filled on &C.
count Of lack Of coal cars and the
poor service the operators had to put
up with. The car supply is now am.
pie and the empties are coming in with
regularity that is very gratifying to
the mine men. The loaded cars are
being shipped promptly.
