J. & 0. TO DEVELOP OWN COAL
LANDS

Huntington, February 24-The Ches-
apeake and Ohio Is to begin at once
to develop It's own coal lands to OBJ
tain railroad fuel, was the announce
ment officially authorized yesterday
by ]. w. Heron, chief Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio car allotment COM
mission.
The railroad uses from $500 to
5000 tons of coal daily, and devel-
opment Of mines to produce that
amount will mean an investment of
from $1,5OO,OOO to 100000.
"On the occasion Of his last visit
here President Stevens authorized me
to proceed with the development Of
coal land owned by the hesapeake
and Ohio, with view Of supplying
the railroad with fuel Mrs. Heran
said yesterday. 81 was instructed to
proceed with this development as ex-
peditiously as possible and as soon
as weather conditions will permit,
we expect to start work. ! am al
ready preparing plans and gathering
data for the development"
The Chesapeake and Ohio owns four
tracts of coal land One of these con-
sists Of $4,000 acres in the Big Sandy
Valley. The second tract in the New
Rier field, consists Of $4,000 acres. The
third and fourth tracks, consisting of
800 acres and 1000 acres are on the
Marsh Fork of Big Coal River and the
West Fork of Little Coal River.
The Big Sandy territory is rot to
be developed at present, Mr.. Heron
states. The mines, four or five in
number, will be located in the New
River and Winding Gulf tracts The
intention is to produce 1000 tons OF
coal daily at each of these mines
Later on the development Will be
brought up to the required maximum
Of coal by the location of additional
mines.
The mines will employ about 1000
men when producing to capacity. This
fact alone makes the announcement
tant coal developments In West Vir-
by Mr.. Heron one of the most impor-
ginia for number of years.
The chief facts impelling the Ches-
apeake and Ohio to go into the coal
mining business is apparently. a dis
satisfaction on the part Of the rail
road officials, over the price they are
now compelled to pay for railroad
fuel. The railroad, Notwithstanding
the large investment required. expects
to produce and distribute its own Goa
much more cheaply than at present
when the railroad buys its own Goa
under contract from privately owned
operators. 1t is said the coal on the
Chesapeake and Ohio tracts will be
optic satisfactory for railroad fuel. Il
is said that there are at present, il
West Virginia, only two operation!
large enough to supply the Chesapeake
and Ohio with its maximum fuel re-
quirements. One of these is the Islant
creek company and the other is tn,

The development Of the Chesapeake,
and Ohio mines is to be under tn,
management of Mr.. Heron, who is
