REPORT PURCHASE
OF COAL BY FORD
$2o,ooo,ooo SAID TO BE PAID FOR
ELKHoRN PROPERTIES
IN KENTUCKY.
100000 TONS ANNUAL OUTPUT
Four Railroads Pass Through Fields;
Purchase Reported to include
All Equipment.

New York-Business circles were
stirred here last week over the re-
ported purchase by agents of Henry
Ford Of the Elkhorn coal properties
OF Kentucky for a consideration said
to be $20,000,000. 1t is reported that
the deal was a cash transaction.
William B. Mayo, chief engineer for
the Detroit automobile manufacturer,
Is said to have closed the transaction
which involves about 100000 acres OF
coal properties in the soft coal re-
gion OF Kentucky.
The Elkhorn Coal corporation, in.
corporated in 1918 under the laws of
West Virginia, represents a combin-
alton of several powerful coal inter.
ests. Under its control, by outright
ownership, fee, surface or mineral
rights, are a total of 2O5,O00 acres OF
coal properties. These lands are in
Pike, Floyd, Knott, Hagofin, John
son and Leteher counties in Kentucky,
and in Upshur and Randolph coun-
ties in West Virginia. The company
also has controlling interests in sew
eral minor fuel-producing concerns.
The last available report of opera
tions of the corporation were to the
effect that % mines were being oper-
ated, which were developed to pro-
duce 100000 tons OF coal annually.
The properties Of the Elkhorn Coal
corporation include 1880 miners
dwelling houses at the various min
ig towns, as we'll as hotels, office
buildings and mining equipment nee
essary for the production of coal.
The principal mining towns on the
vast property, some of which will
come under Ford's control, are Flem-
ing, Haymond, Hemphill, Wayland,
Garrett and Wheelwright in Kentucky,
and Interstate and Ocean in West
Virginia.
The property is served by the Lou
isville & Nashville, Chesapeake &
Ohio, Baltimore & Ohio, and Long
Fork railroads. The mining equipment
is ultra-modern.
A large amount Of power is devel-
oped on the property for general use
In the mining operations. Approx
mately 80 miles of 10000 volt trans
mission line is installed, furnishing
sufficient electric power for full de-
velopment of the vast coal area.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re
iected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
oi two Szes, medium and large.
However, if you wish Srst to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertisement.
