Coal CoMpanies.
Honeataa" again one of the recent tirades
of Honestas. levelled against the masterly expositions
of X. he says that the Lehigh Company delivered
Coal in New York, at $4 46 per ton, and adduces
in support of this assertion the certificate of two per.
Boa; .whose names are unknown to the 'general comb
munity as dealers in coal. This low calculation of
the cost of delivery is calculated to deceive the pub.
lic it is not in their power to deliver ,coal at $446
in New York, and makeit a business rate. We Alb
fy them to publish the items which make up this
sum, and support them by proof; the assertion
id a
a most gross attempt to 'strengthen a position -by fig
ures, which are nut predicated on correct data. Why
does not the Company': biatired of bringing forward
unknown, and inesporbible persona ihow this eom•
potation to be correct by 'their own hooka , From the
practical knowledge we have-Of the Coal Business;
we are positive that V bite Ash Schuylkill Coal can
be put into boats at Pottsville cheaper than from any
workings on the Lehigh, and we are equally certain
that Schuylkill Coal cannot even be put on, board
vessels at Philadelphia for $4 48, without ousing
money. This we aupport by the Miming calculation:
Ton White Ash Coil in boatel. Pottsville, $0
2 0
Freight to-Philadellihia 1 00
Toll „ 90
Handling and shipping at Philadelphia 85
Wastage 25
$4.5x0
The calculation of Plot a ton of White Ash Coal
placed in boat here, isiheismest rate at which it can
be done, end even at that price it does not afford a
sufficient profit to Protect the miner against the
many contingencies of the business. The freight at
one dollar. is lower then the averagiprice for the last
nine years. The trills on the, Lehigh and Delaware
Canals is 97i cents, and as the length of the naviga
tion is about the same as the Schuylkill, and both
subjected to the same accidents and wasteage, it is
evident the entire cost of transhipment can be no
less. ' If any advantage is possessed by the Lehigh
Company over the Schuylkill, it is in a trifling less
cost attending transhipment at Bristol, than on the
Schuylkill; but this din; not near make up the differ
ence in favor of Schuylkill as to the actual cost of
Coal in boats et Pottsville and Mauch Chunk.
It has been argued that Lehigh Coal can be taken ,
to New York through the Morris Canal, and deliv
ered in New York at less rates than Schuylkill, but
the mere fact that the capacity of that canal is only
for boats of from 20 to 25 tons burden, must neces
sarily disprove the asSertion, to say nothing 'of the
inclined planes and other draw backs to cheap navi
gation. it is evident - that the transhipment from
Briitol. per Delaware and Raritan Canal, must be
the most practicable route, and it is well known that
the selling price of their coal at Bristol is $4 75, or
29 cents More than 4. Honestas" says it can be deliv
ered in New York, when to put it theroom addi•
tional freight of $1 25 must tie paid!
NOW every one the e least conversant with the loca
tion et the Lehigh workings, and the cost of uncov
ering and mining. - meat know that the Schuylkill
Region possesses every advantage for reducing the
first coat of the staple; and therefore with a proper
allowance for interest on their improvements, which
may be considered ea toll.'they cannot plain, Coal in
either of our principal marts, in cheap as the Bchuyl
kill region 'can. We therefore view this report of
Honestas" as a groin deception, on a par with ma
ny others which have astounded our commutiit7, and
involved .4 widow! and orphans" in the common ruin
with spectilatwe concerns, which hairs been tempo
• rarity bolstered up . by 'like deceptive reports, even on
the very eve of their final explosion. •
We may hg,:. awned of intermeddling, or of hav
ing partial interests hi favor of can own region, but
vie claim attention to our remarks, inasmuch as en
titled- to mine credit than the visionary speculations
of a nameless correspondent, who is evidently the
agent of a single Company, while we stand as: the
guardians of the community at large. and risk a re*
potation which evenµ Honeatas" himself has not
dared to challenge.
