VALUE OF COAL
SHOWN BY SUIT
Anthracite Taken From Sha
mokin Creek Claimed to
Be Worth $2 Per Ton
Sunbury, Pa.. Sept. 16.— Immense
value of the millions of tons of coal
deposited in Shamokin creek as
waste in years gone by, was never
better illustrated than in a law suit
brought in the Northumberland
county courts on Friday, in which a
car of this anthracite is at issue. The
claimants put its worth at $lOO. Fig
uring this at 50 tons, it would make
its value just $2 a ton.
Much of this coal is a little larger
than a pinhead. and smaller than a
grain of rice. Thousands of tons are
being taken from the stream daily,
ami fifty or more concerns are oper
ating with a total of a half million
dollars' worth of equipment between
here and Shamokin, a distance of
20 miles. Some neat sums of money
are being picked up by these water
miners" and others have cleared as
high as $5,000 on a single leasehold
on abutting lands.
Not more than ten years ago farm
ers were paid big sums for damages
because coal was washed over their
lands making it worthless for farm
ing.

Lcntz Says He's Like Ready Money!
Once More in Life
"Tanlac is sure one tine little med- !
icine," says Leo H. Lentz, a popular
'. cigar salesman, well known in this]
city und who liyes at 103 Locust •
street. Harrisburg, Pa. "Yes, sir, I
believe me, it's the greatest ever I
and you can take it from me for j
1 know.
"Let me tell you I was in mighty
bad shape and it fixed me up good j
as new right off the reel. I've been j
lrustling pretty hard these days and j
J began to feel extra rotten.
"Head ached all the time; I was
. nervous as a cat; my appetite was]
gone; my circulation was 'on the;
liitz' and I felt like a sick pup alii
over. No pep, no ambition, no sell- j
ing power. And there's no money I
in feeling like that.
So I began hunting round for ]
some sort of a bracer and I heard!
about Tanlac. 'Me for it.' I said,
nnd I started in on it. Well, sir,
maybe that little old medicine didn't
get right busy redding up my whole
system. It swept out every depart
ment and set the whole works to
running like clockwork.
"I feel fine, extra fine, superfine.
I haven't felt so good in I don't
know when; no aches, no pains, no
ner es. I'm chuck full of pep and
all thanks to Tanlac."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here
at Gorgas' Drug Store, where the
Tanlac man is meeting the people
and explaining the merits of this
