THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE SATIRE DAT MORNING. NOVEMBER 17, 1894.
Industrial and
MINE, MILL AND BAI1B0AD.
A favorite contention of the people of
"Wilkes-Barre Is that by virtue of the
large field of virgin anthracite which
lies near that city, the capital of Lu
serne is yet destined to outstrip Scran
ton. The Record hints at this possi
bility in the) following allusion to the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Coal company's lands near Button
wood. "Every seam found, In the val
ley from Hanover to Nantlooke," it as
serts, "is located on this magnificent
property, and the coal runs to a depth
of 2,200 feet. No other basin In this sec
tion lies deeper than 800 feet. The
seams being so far from the surface is
the reason why they have not been
worked long since. It will cost more to
get the coal than that composing super
ficial veins, but that factor no longer
cuts Ice, for It is wanted now to sustain
the capacity of the company and very
soon it will find its way to market. The
seams and their, thickness are as fol
lows: George feet
Mills (Kidney) 014 feet
Hlllman 7 feet
Baltimore 16' feet
Boss , 7 , feet
Bed Ash 14 feet
"The last one lies very deep, but it is
tf excellent quality. The Baltimore is
split in two, and the Hlllman is very
'fat,' to use a common expression. At
present three shafts are being sunk,
the Bliss shaft and the Auchlncloss, Nos.
1 and 2. The latter are named after Mr.
Sloan's son-ln-law. They are fitted up
with superb machinery, a magnificent
Corliss hoisting engine tha only ons in
this section having been purchased for
one of the openings. A first motion
engine built by the Dlcksons anrt a
beauty It is too has been put up at one
of the other shafts. The size of the
openings are 42 by 12. All the work
done thus far is of a very solid, superior
character, as befits an undertaking of
great magnitude and possibilities. As
the coal touches the deepest point In
the Wyoming coal fields the danger in
mining will increase very much, the
gas alone promising to give unusual
trouble. But then, anthracite Is being
mined more scientifically every day
now and the elements and treacherous
strata will be confronted by brilliant
minds and skilled hands reducing all
danger to the minimum. How soon
the great plant will be in full operation
and how much fuel will be mined a day
are questions that will soon be answered
now and in the meantime the company
and Wilkes-Barre can be congratulated
on the prospect in sight. . It is a nest
egg inspiring to think of and no matter
what other forms of wealth the city
has or may have, this one is bound to
give it great prestige and be a joy and
a blessing for the next hundred years."
While the Record does not in so many
words voice the common Luzerne be
lief that as a consequence of this large
natural resource- Wilkes-Barre will yet
surpass Scranton, we suspect that it
had this thought in mind. There is,
however, little or no foundation for
such a delusion. Speaking of this sub
ject recently, Mayor Connell said "Do
I think Scranton will cease growing
when its coal is exhausted? Not a bit
of it. To begin with, our coal, by the
most pessimistic estimates, is good for
at least a quarter of a century of con
tinued mining activity. Some esti
mates triple this period. But assum
ing that the first estimate is correct, we
have yet left to us the consolation that
twenty-five years hence, at our present
rate of increase, Scranton will be a city
with 300,000 to 350,000 population A
city of that magnitude has never been
known to fall backward. By its own
momentum it will keep on growing, al
though perhaps not so rapidly as at
present. Then, too, there's our culm.
It seems quite clear to me that these
immense culm banks will be the mag
nets which will some of these days
draw to Scranton a large number of
electrical , industries, not to speak of
miscellaneous shops and factories. By
the way, that coal land down in Lu
zerne county which they brag about is
owned chiefly by Scranton capital; and
nearly the whole of the coal, when
mined, will have to come to this city
before It can be shipped to tidewater.
Consequently, Scranton will in any
event remain the principal shipping
center of the upper coal fields,
and I ' am entirely satisfied
that by the time Wilkes-Barre
shall have passed the hundred
thousand mark we shall have here a
city three times as large." Similar pre
dictions have lately been made within
The Tribune's hearing by such men as
Lieutenant Governor Watres, Major
Warren and William Connell, There is
evidently no Immediate occasion for
Scrantonians to worry about the ex
haustion of their coal supplies, or about
the threat that WIlkes-Barreana may
surpass them in the raoe for commer
cial supremacy.
The Herald has Information that
George Van Keuren, superintendent of
the Jefferson division of the Erie rail
road, may soon leave Carbondale to
assume the office of superintendent of
WORKS BOTH WAYS.
"It Is remarkable how yonr trip
abroad has Improved you.
"It is the use of the Carlsbad Waters
that has improved me, more than my
trip abroad. I have gained In flesh
and strength since I used them. Many
persons use them for reducing flesh,
because the waters remove all un
healthy tissues and superabundance of
fat, but they also build up firm and
solid flesh, which Is a sign of pcrfecct
health, 1 also use the Carlsbad Spru
del Salt early in the morning with i
glass full of water. It Increases the
laxative action of the same. If you
ever suffer from chronic catarrh of the
stomach, biliousness, gout or rheuma
tlsm, I advise you to use them." '. The

the transportation department of the
New York, Lake Erie and Western rail
road. The office is one of the highest In
the gift of the directors of the company
and comes next In order under that of
General Superintendent C. R. Fitch,
over whose signature the business has
of late been conducted. A gentleman
named Starr, who was suceeded at Port
Jervls as superintendent of the Dela
ware division by W. L. Derr, once of
this city, was formerly at the head of
the transportation department. If Mr.
Vav Keuren accepts the appointment
he will take full charge of the depart
ment and his authority will extend
from Jersey City, N. J., to Salamanca,
N.Y. His headquarters will probably
be in Jersey City. It Is expected that
official announcement will be made of
the proposed change today, but Just
when Superintendent Van Keuren will
take up his new duties if he accepts
the trust cannot at this time be said.
L. C. Smith, of the Tioga division, will
take the superlntendency of the Jeffer
son division with headquarters in Car
bondale. Eckley B. Coxe has already denied
one rumor in connection with his re
cent resignations the one which
credited him with the intention of at
tempting a reorganization of the Penn
sylvania Democracy. Soon we may ex
pect a denial of the other rumor which
has it that he is to succeed E. P. Wil
bur In the presidency of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad company. Meanwhile
the Stockholder notes the fact that In
Philadelphia stock jobbing circles It Is
thought that "a large deal of some kind
is afoot, whether In connection with
railroad or coal affairs, or a combina
tion of both, is not stated. It is not be
lieved that Mr. Coxe would resign the
positions referred to without an im
portant motive. Hints were thrown
out yesterday that his road the Dela
ware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill
would be absorbed by one of the larger
lines, and the Lehigh Valley, the Jer
sey Central and the Lackawanna were
all mentioned in that conectlon. At
present the firm has a traffic arrange
ment with the Lehigh Valley, whereby
the Delaware, Susquehanna and
Sshuylklll uses its (the Lehigh Valley)
tracks from a connecting point In the
coal regions to tidewater. It is a pay
ing agreement, and the Lehigh Valley
would be a heavy loser were the con
tract revoked. It is also stated that it
is proposed to form a Junction with the
Lackawanna, which would make the
Delaware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill
an independent seaboard line, and ma
terially increase its power as a factor
in the anthracite coal trade."
MINOR INDUSTRIAL NOTES
The Edith furnace of the Halnsworth
Steel company, at Allegheny, made
during the month of October 7,744 gross
tons of Bessemer pig iron. The largest
record for one week was 1,800 tons and
for one day 282 tons.
The plant of the Greensburg Steel
company, of Greensburg, Pa., which
has been idle for some time and Is at
present owned by J. C. Jamison, of
Pittsburg, will probably be put . in
operation in a short time. A new cruci
ble furnace of twelve pots has recently
been added to the plant.
A project is under way at Galveston,
Tex., for the erection of a rolling mill
and blast furnaces on Galveston Island
for the manufacture of merchant bar
and structural iron, steel rails and
barbed wire. Sevral hundred thousand
dollars will be invested In the plant if
the efforts to organize it are successful.
President Simon Borg, of the Susque
hanna and Western, lessee of the
Wilkes-Barre and Eastern, says there
no foundation whatever for the re
port that the Delaware and Hudson
and the Erie and Wyoming haVe made
arrangements with the Wilkes-Barre
and Eastern to transport coal to New
York.
It is understood that the office of gen
eral manager has been abolished by
the Lake Shore, and Mr. Caldwell, who
has held that position since John New-
ell's death, will hereafter perform the
duties of president exclusively. While
no official announcement has been
made, It is generally believed that the
duties of the general manager will de
volve on General Superintendent Can
nlff. Manicure sets. Davldow Bros.
STOCKS AND BONDS.
By the United Press.
New York, Nov. 16. Business at the
Stock exchange today was on a very
small scale. The market was enlivened
at one time by a drop in the anthracite
coalers, Reading falling to 16, Jersey
Central to 91H. Delaware and Hudson
to 13, and Lackawanna to 158V4. The
final quotation of the latter was 155 bid
and 159 asked. The stand taken by the
independent coal operators had a de
pressing - influence, - Manhattan was
again lower. Sugar was less active.
There was some selling of the stock on
unconfirmed rumors that a reduction in
the dividend rate was contemplated.
Chicago Gas and General Electric were
a shade easier, but dealings were small,
In the last hour the market was
steadier in tone. Net changes show
losses of Haft. American Sugar gained
, Manhattan dropped 1. Total sales,
ivo.uuu snares.
The range of today's prices for the ac
tive stocks of the New York stock market
are given below. The quotations are fur-

of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT untii;thj new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upor tlic 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-CroHby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour, far above other
