REBUILDING MINERS HOMES

Charleston, w. Va.-Dwellinss for
the families of miners are being erect
ed along Cabin Creek, some being re-
built from old houses which were
wrecked by the flood. 1t is expected
that by the time the mines along that
stream are in readiness for operation
in full, every family will be provided
with home. The Cabin Creek Con
solidated Coal Company, one OF the
heaviest losers OF all the mining cor
porations, reported that its total loss
will not exceed 100000, although the
official report first given out was that
the loss would at least reach a half a
million. The operations of this com
pany are more extensive than those of
any other company in the flood zone.
Five and six feet of mud and sand in
some OF the partially destroyed houses
along the creek has prevented many
buildings from floating out into the
larger streams and most of them will
be saved
The railroads are being given all la.
Dorers obtainable and the tracks are
being rapidly constructed along all the
stricken valleys so that no delay will
be encountered in shipping coal as
rapidly as it can be mined. With plen.
ty of work for all those who care to
do manual labor for pay, and with but
comparatively little illness in the flood
district, conditions have just been re-
ported as better than at any time
since the cloudburst.
