Engineers Are Surveying
1,OO0-Acre Tract Near
Pennington.
S15O,OOO DEAL ON HAND
ONE SHAFT TO BE SUNK ON
HELEN CREEK, OTHER ON
SOUTH CAROLINA FORK.

The opening of two new coal mines
and the building of two mining vii
lagos on Helen Creek and the South
Carolina Fork is indicated by the ac-
tivities of the Consolidation Coal COM
pany which has sent engineers today
to survey 1000 acre tract of land on
which options aggregating $l25.G00 10
$500 were taken last Friday and
Saturday.
This is one of the biggest business
extension projects in the Fairmont
district for many years and means
that the Consolidation company has
unlimited faith in the business out
look for the coal industry in this part
of the state.
Charles Manley, postmaster at Fair
mont, and A. NJ. Glover president of
the county court of Marion county
were busy Friday and Saturday TAX
ing up the options in behalf of the
coal company. The options are for
the purchase of the surface of 10
farms aggregating 1000 acres, the
company already owning the under
lying coal. The options are to run
for 80 days and about $3.50 was paid
for each option, the price of the op-
tion to be deducted from the purchase
price of the land when the deal is
closed.
The price agreed upon for the land
varies from $50 to $3.50 an acre. The
company Is surveying today for the
purpose of locating two shafts to tap
the coal which is about $50 feet be-
meath the surface. One shaft will be
sunk near the head of Helen creek
and the other near the head of South
Carolina branch of that stream.
A spur from the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad will probably be built up
Helen Creek. distance of about three
miles, to provide an outlet for the pro-
posed mines.
The extensive surface options are
taken by the company in order TO pro-
vide ample space for coal tipples,
tracks and for the towns of company
houses to accommodate the miners.
The farms on which options have
been, taken include those owned by
Frank S. Book, Michael Book, Enos
Morgan, Charles w. Davis. Clement
Davis. ]. E. Picket. H. L. Picket, W.
E. Picket, Martha Parrish and Spence
Martin.
The Consolidation Company owns
much of the coal underlying the dis
trict about Helen Creek, which was
purchased many years ago. The sur
face, however, for the most part. had
not been purchased by the company as
the location OF the mine shafts had not
been determined upon when the un-
derlying coal was purchased.

3 LONDON, March 29.-Russia Is
again today knocking at the back door
of Constantinople by bombarding the
Turkish forts on the Bosphorus, but
gwffn what success Is not definitely
known. As to the front door of the
Turkish capital, the Dardanelles. the
only news is the monotonous reitera-
tion of the report that mine sweepers
of the allies are continuing their work
and that weather conditions still pre-
vent resumption of bombardment by
the feet.
Gonstantinople, however, declines
to accept the weather as an excuse
for the 1ull in the attack, and claims
that since March IS weather condi.
tions have been so good that Turkish
aeroplanes have been flying over the
warships of the alleys in and about
the straits. Unofficial reports from
neutral points in the vicinity of the
scene OF operations indicate an early
resumption Of activity. They set forth
that long distance shelling of the
inner defenses has been commenced
by the, battleships.
Reviewing the Russian naval activi-
ties In the Baltic, Petrograd claims
that the operations on this sea OF
Russian warships have resulted in
damage to several German units, an1
that the Germans have been compl-
ed materially to restrict their move
ments.
German submarines have been ac-
tive on the English and Irish coasts,
and the liner Falba, reported in dis
tress In the Bristol channel, may be
one of the victims of their raid.
From diplomatic standpoint, OBJ.
servers in London are speculating on
the Reorganization of the Balkan
League, but, nevertheless. it is felt
that the visit to Bulgaria of Field
Marshal Won Der Goltz. until recently
Mt Constantinople, may check recon
sciliatfon OF this state with her neigh
Dor.
