ize the undertakings of the men at
the head of the Consolidation COM
pany, by the time the railroad was
completed the mines were ready
with their $500 tons dailyproductior
and shipments were begun at once.
The output has increased from
month to month until It is row n
| the neighborhbod of 5000 tons
daily. There is little doubt that the
5000, O00-ton production will be
reached by the time set for it, and
that the ultimate production will
run above instead of below the u
900, 00O-ton mark.
Not all of the present production
goes over the Sandy Valley & Elk
horn road, however The Louisville
and Nashville, realizing that there
would be very large tonnage to be
secured by getting line into the
field, extended its subsidiary road,
the Lexington and Eastern, SO miles
from Jackson, Ky, to McRoberts,
on Wrights Fork of the Kentucky
River, six miles across the noun
tain from Jenkins. The company
now has Is mines in commission, OF
which six are at McRoberts and nine
on the Elkhorn above and below
jenkins.
One the greatest difficulties en-
countered in carrying on the work
was that of getting labor. The ma
tive supply was small and not re-
liable. The mountaineer works when
he wants to and lays off" when he
chooses. This, of course, would not
do for an enterprise such az this
Even in logging" the mills 1t was
necessary to get men from the out
side, and great trouble was exper-
fenced in keeping up the supply FL
nally, after trying many from var
ious parts of the country, a large
number of Austrians were secured,
and they now compose most of the
woods force.
At first great deal of trouble
was caused among the men in the
woods by moonshiners and Illicit
whiskey dealers, who carried intox-
icants into the camps This brought
about REORGANIZATION among the

The numbering operations carried
on are, by the way, of much larger
proportions than were necessary
merely to furnish lumber for the
company's own uses. The land was
well timbered, and in all more than
80, 100000 feet of lumber has been
cut. :, Two or three big mills are
still at work, and will be kept busy
| for number of years. Lying on the
sticks at the mill yards are mil
lions OF feet of lumber ready for
the market, and large quantities are
being sold and shipped out to con-
Germs in various parts of the coun-
country, whose buyers come here to
inspect and purchase.
The timbering is carried on un-
der the direction of scientific for
ester, and no woodman strikes axe
in tree unless it bears the forester's
mark. When a. tree is felled every
portion of it is used, down to three
inches in diameter, for purposes
ranging from the making of sawed
lumber to mine props and ties.

much better town than is usually
found about even the largest min
ing operations. The building erect
ed for the general offices and the
bank is large brick structure OF
three stories and basement, hand
somely finished inside and out, and

outcrop was faced up and many
drill holes were put down, and the
experiments showed that the seams
preserved their integrity TO a quite
remarkable degree. The coal. which
runs from six 10 nine feet In thick
ness-and really reaches 13 feet IN
numerous plaees--lies low in the
hills, and the loss OF acreage on ac-
count of streams and hollows Is
comparatively little. In the l 8 mines
that are now being worked the
thickness of the seam averages about
seven feet, than which there is prob
ably no more convenient size for
mining. The overhead conditions are
good generally, the mines free from
dangerous gases. and well drained.
The coal itself has been found
of exceptionally high quality for
ooking. and has rapidly become pop
ular for metallurgical processes The
necessity for by-product plants IN
connection with blast furnaces has
created a demand for IL in numerous
markets, and large contracts have
been closed for furnishing II to iron
and steel plants for many months
TO come. The rapidly increasing use
OF gas for domestic purposes also
helps along the demand for this
quality OF coal. for II is high in vo-
latile matter and the gas return
from ton is large. Hundreds OF
analyses have been made OF this
coal. the average OF which Is as
follows:
Moisture. 400; volatile, $500;
fixed carbon, $500; ash, 400; sui
phur, .75; phosphorus. .004; b. T.
u, 14.425.
The production and shipping OF
100000 tons OF coal year means
that something like 10000 tons
must be handled every day the
mines run, for no mining operation
can be expected to run every day.
As six tons day Is about the av-
erage output for miner. IL will be
seen that 1t will take 5000 miners
to get out the coal which the Con-
solidation has set itself to produce
In this field. Add to this the men
and boys required to handle the
coal after II leaves the miners
rooms, and the number OF employees
VIII run easily to 5000 or 1000.
That means that when the de-
velopment in this section reaches
full-grown proportions there will be
a mining community here and In the
other camps OF from 10000 to 49, |
600 people. II means further that
there will be distributed In wages
In this immediate section from 81
100000 to $4,000, 900 annually and
that any man who owns farm or
tract of tillable land zig enough for
a garden patch of any kind any
where within easy reach will find
here an active and profitable mark I
ct for everything edible he can
raise.
1t means, finally. that one OF the /
waste places of the earth will short
ly become one OF the most highly

lcence OF far more than Statewide

when the Legislature met, in my
message to the members, recon-
niended the passage of the bills re
ferred to, and each was passed by
the Legislature and approved by me
SO that may say. with pride and
pleasure, that helped to make
Kentucky progressive State and
place her beside other progressive
States and unite all factions in Ken
lucky, and the Democratic party is
now harmonious and its prospects
were never brighter than at pres
emit :.
AS reference has been made by
the opponents of Democracy to the
offices to which have alluded the
expense of which is nearly all paid
outside the State Treasury, it is
proper for me to say that not
one office has been created ex-
cept in obedience to the State Dem
ocratic platform. And teh same Of
-fices have been created in all the
progressive States of the Union
for the benifit of the people and
the prosperity of the respective
States.
Corporation Assessments.
Equally important with the
fulfillment of platform pledges is a
fair and Just increase of the tax
able value of corporations.
Il cooperate with the board after
careful, capable and thorough ex-
animation. fixed the franchise value
OF railroads and other corporations.
The railroads are now resting the
fair and just assessment made by
the board, but believe the board
will be sustained and upheld by
the courts and the burden of tax
alton will be put jointly on cor
porations and on individuals, and
in reasonable time will pay the
States Indebtedness, and, | hope,
Justify a reduction of the State tax

mission has been appointed and is
doing good work and will make an
important and beneficial report at

report will be laid by me before the
Legislature.
THE State constitutional amend
'ment ON the subject of taxation,
which many persons advocated, has
been submitted to, and will be vot-
ed upon by, the people at the next
regular election If adopted 1t will |
enable the members of our General
Assembly to impose greater tax
ON corporations.
Republican Debts.
when ! was inaugurated as Gov
ernor found Republicans had put
a debt on the State amounting to
about million and a quarter dol
lars, and as it has been repeatedly
published that the appropriations
made by the first Legislature of the
present administration were great
er than the appropriations made by
the first Legislature OF tne pae'ou

of the present fiscal year, we will
be able to show, leaving out the in
terest on the State debt, accumulat-

debt, and we all regret it. Many
of our sister States are also in
