Local Coal Company May
Furnish Tonnage Abroad
in Case of Strike.

The Consolidation Coal Company
has received numerous inquiries for
coal from England, and il the threat
ened strike of the miners in Great
Britain materializes this well-known
mining corporation will most likely be
called upon to supply large tonnage
of bituminous product to various in
dpstries in that country.
All the inquiries have come through
the London office of the Consolida-
ton, established some months ago.
AS is we'll known, the miners in
England have voted to strike, and un-
less some adjustment Of the differ
ences that have arisen between the
men and the operators, the strike will
actually be called on March L. This
would mean that all of the bitumi-
nous mines in Great Britain would
cease operation, and the English gov
eminent, as well as the railroads and
industrial corporations in that coun-
try, would have to look to the United
States for it's fuel supply.
President j. H. wheelwright has
Just received latest reports concerning
the development of the 100000 acre
contract in the Elkhorn Valley of
Kentucky. So far eight mines have
been opened up on the property, and
seven tipples are in progress of erec-
ton, together with the necessary
machine shops, stables and other
buildings. Six more mines have also
been located, and are in process of
development.
The Consolidation has started the
construction of central power plant
and temporary power plants are now
in operation. Continuing the report
to Mr., wheelwright states:
The town of Jennings has been To-
Gated on the Sandy Valley and Elk

Crystais Take Two Games.
The Crystal duck PIN team 81 the
city league demonstrated It's sabiI-I
fly TO play the game Of duck pins
Friday night on the core alleys.
when it defeated the strong cres-
cent team two games out Of ! the
three played.
The first game was started at 8: Is
o'clock and as predicted, the larg-
est crowd Of the season was pres
emit. From the beginning 1t was
seen that the two teams were evenly
matched, but before the game
progressed very far, the steady work
of the Crystals began to show as
they were gaining pins every frame,
and when the total was counteed up
the Crystals had won by sixty-three
pins.
In the second game the Crystals
were confident of another victory
while the Crescents suffering from
the first defeat went out for this
game with blood in their eyes. At
the half way point the score was
about even, but when the last half
started the CRYSTALS saw that If they
wanted to win the game this was
their chance and they accepted 1t.
winning out by thirty-seven pins
The Crescents got whlrlwind
Istart in the third game, hayin lead
of fifty-six pins in the firth frame.
BY steady work the Crystals soon
overcame this large lead and with
the cregcents eight pins ahead IN
the last frame. the Crystals, who
had rallied SO faithfully in the first
two games, failed to mark and the
game went to the Crescents by thu
small margin Of Arteen pins.
F. A. Daddy Drake, the wheeler
of the Crystal team, was absen,
from the city last night, but his
place was well looked after by
Petit, who had high score for his
team.
The high individual score Of the
evening went to Petit, who rolled
1877 in the first contest. The hign
average of the evening went to Ores
bach. he averaging 1872 in the three
games.

various buildings, such as stores and
general Offices. A similar town has
been located known as McRoberts, on
the eKntucky river side of the prop
erty. All of this work has reached
such a stage of development that on
completion of the first transportation
lines, namely, the Sandy Valley and
Elkhorn railway, which will be com
pleted April l, the present mines
will be able to start a daily produc-
ton of at least $500 tons, which will
be very rapidly Increased. This rail-
road has a contract with the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, in which its
officials agrees to equip the Sandy
Valley railroad with the necessary
cars and motive power to move the
output of the mines, which 1t is es-
timated will not be less than S,OOo,-
900 tons in tow years from the date
of the completion of the railroad"
The report further calls attention
to the railroad the Louisville and
Nashville is building in the Elkhorn
field, which, after being equipped.
will represent cost of $1s,OoO,OOO.
The line will extend from Jackson,
to the CONSULTATIONS property, a dis
lance of ninety-eight miles.
1T can be seen at a glance" says
the report, that the engagements of
these transportation companies for
this field will involve a very large
sum Of capital, and that the consol-
idation is absolutely assured Of its
transportation necessities, which is
the largest factor in the SUCCESSFUL
development OF coal property Of the
size and magnitude of the Elkhorn
