TIIE SCRAETON TRIBUNE "WEDNESDAY MOHNINO. OCTOBER 31, 1894.
Industrial and
MINE, MILL AND RAILROAD.
Wllkes-Barre, Pa., Oct. 30. The
Spring Mountain collieries, Nos. 1 and
4, located near Hazleton and owned by
J. C. Hayden & Co., of Jeansville, and
collieries Nos. 1, 3, 6 and the Laurel Hill
and South Sugar Notch collieries, oper
ated by A. Pardee & Co., Hazleton,
were purchased- today by the ''Lehigh
Valley Coal company. These works
employ nearly 4,000 men and boysj-and
have a daily capacity of over 4.S00 tons
a day. The consideration of the pur
chase Is not made known.
The officials of the Pennsylvania
Bailroad company have decided to In
crease Its standard of weight of ateel
rulls on its main line from eighty-flve
pounds to 100 pounds. On the recent
tour of Inspection this matter was giv
en considerable attention and the
change was only deemed advisable af
ter the matter had been thoroughly
discussed. The change is to tr into
effect next year and all new rails be
tween Jersey City and Pittsburg will
be of the new standard. The Increase
In weight Is principally due to the
heavier locomotives, which the -company
has gradually been acquiring, be
sides the Increase in speed. The 100
pound standard Is a big Jump from the
weight rail used years ago. Then fifty
six pounds were considered heavy
enough, but soon the weight was In
creased to sixty-seven, then to seventy
five and then to eighty-five pounds.
The last weight has been the standerd
for several years, and to all appear
ance has met the requirements. A few
years ago 100-pound rails were placed
In various sections of the road for ex
perimental purposes, and as they ful
filled all that was expected of them, It
was decided to use this weight as the
standard until further change. Reside
Increasing the weight there will be, in
all probability, a change in the length
of the rail. At present a thirty foot
one Is used, although In some places
they are twice that length. The length
of the majority of the new rulls will bo
sixty feet. This Is a saving of Joints,
thus giving a smoother surface.
Referring to the "coal war" the En
gineerlngand Mining Journal says there
Is no more hostility among the compa
nies than there has been all along. The
tonnage for the second half of this
month will show that no producing in
terest adhered to the output recom
mended at last month's meeting. This
Js nothing new.; The companies and the
Individual operators have never kept
their "gentlemen's agreement" to main
tain prices at a certain level and keep
the outputs within certain limits. And
this fact Is one of the reasons why the
"pool" has escaped from coming under
the anti-trust law. Every producer has
always tried to sell as much coal as it
could at the best obtainable .price,
whether it was In excess of Its alfotted
tonnage or not. It so happens that dur
ing the past fortnight producers have
obtained orders calling for more coal
than they should have mined under the
agreement. The result Is seen In the
figures for the week ended Oct. 20,
969,000 tons, which Is at the rate of
4,310,000 tons for the month, or 1,350,000
tons more than the "recommended"
output of 3,000,000 tons for October. Hut
ns everybody has been guilty of exceed
ing his allotment, one cannot complain
of ' another. The effect of an unre
stricted output remains to be seen.
Says the Philadelphia Inquirer: For
the last several years the Jersey Cen
tral company has received Interest on
$6,116,000 Lehigh and Wilkes-liarre Coal
company 7 per cent, bonds that it owns,
Interest upon which Is practically pay
able, only If earned, Before the present
managers of the New Jersey Central ob
tained control, the Lehigh and Willces
Barre company had not paid this Inter
est for many years. Mr. Tlllinghast,
the president of the company, Insisted
"upon spending this money on the coal
mines and he developed the property to
a higher state of efficiency than that of
almost any other company. The effect
of these advance expenditures was such
that the company has been able for six
or seven years back to pay the Interest
upon the bonds held by the New Jersey
Central, and In this way the latter com
pany has been able to make a most ex
cellent showing. Outside of Its coal
Investments the Central ought to be
able In normal years to earn 5 or 6 per
cent, on Its stock lyid In good years It
should do even better, but It Is unsafe
to reckon upon any Income from its
coal investments.
MINOR INDUSTRIAL NOTES:
Beginning Monday A. S. Van Wlckle
will work his collieries night and day
through November.
Pennsylvania railroad officials who
were on the tour of inspection report
everything In good condition.
On Nov. 1 the Vandalla will begin to
pay coal premiums to engineers and
firemen where a saving of coal Is ef
fected. So far this month the Reading Coal
tnd Iron company Is said to have sold
Aver 100,000 tons of coal more than it
jjroduced.
Robert Law, the largest coal dealer
at Chicago, says freight rates on coal
will soon be advanced, and the price of
hard coal In the west miiBt go higher.
J. Rlnek's Son's rope and twine fac
tory, which has been Idle since last
May, will resume operation In a few
days with a force of about 100 hands.
Orders were Issued on Monday by the
Reading Coal and Iron company to
start all collieries on full time as a re
sult of the decision of the sales agents
removing restrictions regarding the
production of anthracite.
The extensive plant of the Reading
Rolling Mill company, which had been
Idle for ten days because certain ma
terial could not be obtained; resumed
in all departments except the puddle
mill, giving employment to about 400
men. .
The board of directors of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company will meet
on Thursday in special session to con
sider the matter of .the semi-annual
dividend. The general belief is that a
dividend of 2V4 per cent, cash will be
declared.
Last week's shipment of coal over the
Summit Branch railroad from the Lv-
kens and Wllliamstown collieries was
the largest in the history of these
mines. Both collieries are now running
full with about 2,600 men In all, and
the outlook for the winter is good.
The Pennsylvania Midland, a new
railroad that is ultimately Intended to
connect the Hollldaysburg branch of
the Pennsylvania system and the
Huntingdon and Broad Top, Is now well

under way, forty-two tons of rails hav
ing been delivered along tlfe Une, much
pf which is already graded.
To what extent the World's fair in
creased the, business of the Big Four
Is shown In the official statement that
In September alone the Big Four nt its
Indianapolis ticket office sold $45,200 of
tickets, while In September this year
the receipts from sales of tickets to
Chicago amounted to only $3,110.
Fires were lighted Monday afternoon
In furnace No. 2 of the . Henry Clay
furnaces of Eckert & Bro.,'at Heading,
and In afew days the furnace will be in
full operation for the first time since
June 14, 18U3. With the additional fur
nace In blast the amount of pig will be
doubled over the operation at present.
Henry W. Bennett, treasurer of the
Republican county committee and pres
ident of the Indianapolis Stove com
pany, employing several hundred
hands, says that he has within the
past week advanced the wages of all
his employes per cent. In justice to
the men. The advance has been caused
by the revlvel of business.
The Buffalo and Susuehanna railway,
a connecting link between the West
ern New York and Pennsylvania and
the Fall Brook railways, waB opened
Monday and regular trains are now
running. It is forty miles long and
runs from Keating Summit to Ansonla.
This road opens up the vust lumber
region In Potter and Clinton counties.
The Pennsylvania railroad reports
that the quantity of coal and coke
originating on and carried over its
lines east of Pittsburg und Erie for the
year thus far has been 12,561,334 tons,
compared with 14.870.9S8 tons In the
corresponding period of 1S93, a decrease
of 2,309,654 tons, of which 9,944,058 tons
were coal, a decrease of 1,545,485 tons,
and 2,617,276 tons coke, a decrease of

TO OUR
Wnshburn-Crdsby Co. wish to assure their many pnt
rons that they will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Croshy Co. will take
no risks, und will allow the new wheut fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
pluced Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
