To THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE MONONGAHELA RIVER CONSOLIDATED <strong>COAL</strong> & COKE CO.: We have passed through a year of trying and unusually severe conditions. Floods and ice g<strong>org</strong>es, followed by six months of low water, accidents to niarine transportation, which no care or precaution can prevent, have been bunched into the past year, making it at times impossible to operate the mines or to transport the coal when loaded, and have resulted in unusual loss of life and property. These conditions coming in a year of industrial depression have resulted in cutting down the company's revenues, and increasing its expenses. Your property is in better physical condition than ever before. The same conservative bookkeeping that has existed in the past has been maintained, and the financial condition of the company is sound and healthy. The foregoing statement at the close of business October 31, 1904, is respectfully submitted. INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTION OF THE ANTHRACITE COMPANIES. While the totals for 1904 have not yet been summed up, except in a very few instances, it is apparent that none of the big anthracite producers fell far behind its 1903 production, but that several have had a record year. The Delaware. Lackawanna & Western Co. mined more than 50,000 tons in excess of its production for 1903. During the past year, however, its collieries were not closed down for any lengthened time, but a mine here and there suspended operations according to the state of the market. Its collieries worked, in all probability, steadier than those of any corporation in the anthracite region. It will be no surprise if the official returns for the year should show that the Lackawanna company is second on the list of the anthracite producing companies, instead of being fourth. The output of the Scranton Coal Co. is also expected to be as heavy as that of the preceding year, which will prove the most remarkable feature of the anthracite figures of the year. This company was deprived of the output of its two largest collieries for the entire twelve months, both the Pine Brook and the Throop breakers having been destroyed by fire. They are now rebuilt, and operations will be resumed in the course of a few weeks. The output of the Temple Iron Co. also shows a gain on the figures of the previous year. The collieries worked steadily, (Signed) FRANCIS L. ROBBINS, President. excepting during the dull period in the summer, when the company suffered from the depression. Estimates have not been prepared by the coal department of the Delaware & Hudson Co.. but there is no doubt that the tonnage of 1903 will not be reached, for various reasons. The company has two of its largest breakers idle owing to their being destroyed by fire more than twelve months ago. Both are yet far from being completed. The collieries were also closed down for various periods during the summer depression. The figures for 1904 will, in all probability, be considerably lower than those for 1903. During the year 1903 the Pennsylvania, Hillside and the Erie Coal Cos. mined the huge total of over 6,000,000 tons, which easily made a record year, and very difficult to surpass. For that reason the tonnage of the past year will, it is estimated, fall about 400,000 tons short of this record. A New B. C& O. Coal Line. It is announced that the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co. is preparing to run a new line from Confluence, 85 miles South of Pittsburgh, through Fayette and Greene counties in Pennsylvania to Wheeling, W. Va. It is said that surveys are now being made for the line, which will open extensive coal fields in Pennsylvania and in Preston county. W. Va. Much of the property to be opened is leased by the Livengood Coal & Coke Co.
