| CONSTRUCTION and DEVELOPMENT. «
The sale of 40,000 acres of coal land for $2,400,-
000, the erection of costly mining plants, the opening
and equipment of a score of mines, the construction
of a coke plant of 1,800 ovens and the
building of 26 miles of railroad is the latest development
in the McGaughey coal tract in Indiana
county, Pa. The project will require an investment
of close to $6,000,000. For almost two years
the development of the tract has been held up by
litigation over the expiration period of the options
granted by the property owners. In the meantime
the coal lands have advanced in value to the
extent of about $1,000,000. The Indiana and Eastern
railroad, for which a charter was recently
issued, will be built especially to develop the
tract and will have a length of 26 miles, running
in a loop from a point two miles West of Livermore
on the West Penn railroad to Edri on the
same road, making connection with the Buffalo,
Rochester & Pittsburgh at Clarksburg.
The H. C. Frick Coke Co. is completing one of
the most modern coke plants in the country,
which will be put in operation next fall. The
ovens number 1,000 in all and are divided among
three plants, one of which is at Bitner, one at
Shoaf and the other at York Run, in Fayette
county, and in a field that had not been touched
by the company up to this time. The company
has had to build new towns, open new mines and
establish an entirely new equipment and in doing
this has adopted more modern ideas than has been
Iiossible before.
The Dominion Coal Co. is about to make a number
of alterations and improvements at Sydney,
N. S. Among them is the installation of Denton
hoists for the raising and lowering of the chutes
by which coal is loaded on the ships. These were
