CEEC1HV00DS COAL
PROPERTY WILL BE
DEVELOPED. SOON
The Dennison Farm of Two
Hundred Acres Has Been
Secured.
KEYNOLDSVILLE CAPITAL INTERESTED
t"$A number of B-jechwooda and Royn
oldsville capitalists are at tne back of a
project to opon up a coal mining In
dustry that promises to be of consider
able Imoortance in the mining circles
of this end of the state. Arraneromonts
have already been made for the location
of a colliery that will tap a field of ex
cellent coal In the Beechwoods district
and the interests in control of the pro
posed venture expect to mako their
mine one of the best producers in this
section. The coal deposits of that part
of the Beechwoods country surrounding
Coal Glen and Westville, with the ex
ception of about 200 acres, has been ac
quired by the Jefferson Coal Company
and much of it has been worked out by
that company during the past twenty
five years. At the present time the
Jefferson people are developing their
main holdings from the Coal Glen
m.lnas - and It 'is expected that the
present source of supply will have be
come exhausted within a few years.
When the Jefferson Companv secured
the coal rights of the Coal Glen and
surrounding district thoy were unable
to get control of the deposits under the
James Dennison farm and a piece be
longing to John Ross, now of Brock
wayvllle. It is this piece, containing
about 200 acres, that the new company
has acquired and which they propose to
develop in the near future. One of the
draw backs to a profitable operation of
this block of coal has been a recognized
difficulty to get it to market. But this
obstacle has been eliminated by a recent
arrangement with the Pittsburg, Shaw
mut & Northern R. R. which will give
a good outlet for the product of the new
mine. A branch road, nearly two
miles long, has reeo laid out and is now
being graded from a point along the
main line of the Shawmut to the pro
posed colliery slie on the Dennison
farm. The RECORD is Informed that a
' large force of men and teams has been
put to work on the new railroad ex
tension and the coal company is also
getting its mine in shape to be ready
Worshipping as soon as the road la built.
The new mine will furnish employment
to a large force of men and the output
will reach from 150 to 300 tons daily as
soon as the plant is put In good running
order. Modern machinery will be
Installed in the equipment of the plant.
All mining will no doubt be done by
pick, a feature which will furnish clean,
high-grade coal, and the company will
have no trouble in finding ready
market for their product. This
particular vein of coal is said to be the
best steam producer In Pennsylvania.
For several years past, a great deal of
the output of the Coal Glen mines has
been used for steam on the large trans
Atlantic steamships. Brockwayville

When coal oil was found In West
Virginia among the few who held on
to their land was the widow Turner.
When the widow Turner was left to
enre for herself she possessed sixty
acres of sterile land, a wretched old
cabin, a mule nml a cow. She hod al
ways worked In the field with her hus
band. She was u Inrjic, bony woman,
tumble to rend or write, and the very
homeliest among n lot of homely wom
en. No one predicted that she would
marry again, nml she had no encourag
ing thoughts herself. She lived alone,
und all the farm work was done by
her own hands.
When the oil excitement got started
all the landowners around the widow
Turner sold out. She alone held on.
She was offered five times what her
farm was considered worth, but she
shook her head. As a matter of fact,
she was frightened.
Then along came a tin peddler. She
had dealt with him before and found
him honest. She told him her troubles,
and he said:
"Widow, I am going to talk plainly
to you. You are as Ignorant as a mule
and as homely as a stump fence."
"I know it," was the answer.
"If things hnd run along ns they
were going you couldn't have found a
man in the United States to marry
you.''
"I admit that."
"Hut now you can. You can not only
find a husband, but money with him.
Let me tell you what to do."
They had a long conversation, and
the result of It was that when an of
fer for the farm was renewed next day
It was accepted with a proviso. The
widow demanded $,"O.OiK In cash and
a husband. It was acceded to at once.
It would be very easy to lind a man to
marry her and run away afterward.
Plenty of them could be hired for
?2,000. ' I5llt the widow wanted nn ac
ceptable husband. That was different.
Thirty men were paraded, before her,
and she rejected every one. The capital
ists had figured on n soft thing and got
left. After two months' search und aft
er fifty men had been brought forward
one was found to fill the bill. He was
no scrub. On the contrary, he was a
broken down getitlenuin. It was like
mating an eagle with crow.
Yes, he would do. but there were de
tails to be considered. He must be
bound to certain things, and the buyer
of tbe farm must guarantee him. He
must be bound not to run away and
not to apply for a divorce. He must
be bound to live in the same house
with her and not be absent over three
days at any time without her written
permission. He must teach her tbe
common branches of education and
rules of etiquette. He must take her
to New York city and Xlngara falls
once in two years. If she wished to
sign he must not be put out. Her
money must be her own. There were
about a dozen other things mentioned,
and the broken down gentleman said
he'd be hanged it he would. They had
promised him v .0,000, but he said it
wasn't enough. He hang out until he
was offered the same as the widow.
They told him that a smart lawyer
could pick a dozen loopholes in the
contract
But the widow wasn't through yet.
They must allow her $10,000 for a law
yer's fee. They agreed, and she sent
to Chicago for one of the leaders of
the bar. Then came the guarantee.
The guarantee of the buyer was not
enough. The lawyer Insisted that some
one must guarantee him. . This was
done. Time had been wasted, and
"gushers" were being struck all around
them. Tbe money was counted out
the marriage took place, and the next
day the drillers were at work. The
newly weds went to the nearest village
to pass their honeymoon.
The broken down gentleman - had
gone into the thing to make a stake.
He hnd a good mind for billiards, good
clothes and good dinners, but not for
legal matters. Within three days he
run away. The wife called upon the
guarantors to return him. They had
to hire a detective and hunt for a
month. When be was brought back he
was locked up for two weeks. He ap
pealed to the law, but the law said
that his wife had a right to take all
reasonable precautions. He had bound
himself to teach her certain things.
He refused. She called upon his guar
antors, and they forced him to do it.
He had taught her the A B C's when
be ran away again. Again he was
brought back.
, Although the work of drilling wells
hnd begun at once, there were no re
sults. They drilled here and there for
more than a year, but not a piut of
oil was had. That farm was Just over
the oil line somehow. Geologists said
there ought to be a great lake of oil
under it, but it didn't turn out that
way. In buying and drilling more than
half a million dollars was expended.
At the end'of a year the broken down
ran away again. When his backers
were called .upon to return him they
agreed to give the wife $5,000 to let
them off the contract. The tin peddler
came along und advised her to take it
and she did. She is still living on that
little farm in the Buckeye State, and,
though her singing scares the cows for
miles around and she is not up on eti
quette and has to spell out the big
words, she has money to burn and is.
fairly happy. The tin peddler? Ob,
his conscience rewarded him for the
good deed done.
