June, 1905 COAL AND TIMBER 15 Nearly 10,000,000 bushels of coal were shipped from Pittsburg southward on the high water in the Ohio river last month. The rise which was at its crest on the 13th and 14th of April, though unexpected, was quickly made available by the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal & Coke Co., and the independent river interests which ship by the Ohio to the South. The closest figures to the shipment which was made during the April rise from Pittsburg and the Monongahela river are 8,711,000 bushels of coal. In two days 65 towboats steamed southward. They had in tow 158 boats, 270 barges and 120 flats,besides a number of mosel barges laden with steel and iron products and machinery. The coal companies had made every effort to have a large number of towboats available for any rise, and when the high water did come all were read}' to send out with as many craft as they could handle. Most of the steamers had got back from the South but a short time previous with large tows of empties which will at once be filled with coal at the upper river mines The rise was most timely coming when it did, as it impressed upon the members of the Rivers and Harbors Committee of Congress, which was making a tour of the Ohio'river, the importance of the river when its channel contained enough water to make the big stream safely navigable This April shipment of coal will mean steady and profitable work for months to come for the miners of the Ohio and Monongahela river valleys. The supply of empty craft is larger than usual for this time of year and the lower harbors of the streams have been so cleared of boats that large numbers can be brought down to Pittsburg to await another rise. While the stage of water was not high the long stream of towboats and their coal craft got down safely with the exception of two small accidents incident to the dangerous condition of the Ohio at Merriman's island. John I. Beggs. of St. Louis, states that in all probability the United Railways Co. will establish a transportation system of. its own, to convey its immense coal supply by means of boats from Ohio, Kentucky and other points east of the Mississippi river in order to save the heavy cost of tonnage occasioned by the bridge arbitrary at St. Louis. "The plan we have in view,"' said Mr. Beggs, "cannot be put into practical operation until we have figured it out in all of its details. Our judgment is that the water transportation scheme will not merely save us bridge tolls, but will expedite the delivery of freight. Whether we intend to buy a line of steamboats now operating on the river or shall build one of our own are matters still to be determined. It will necessarily require .wine time to work out this problem." Under the proposed arrangement it is estimated the United Railways Co. will save $50,000 a year on its shipping expenses alone. The company uses several hundred thousand tons of coal annually. Regarding improvements contemplated on the United Railways lines, Mr. Beggs says that the question of getting cheaper transportation for the company's fuel supply is but one of many that are in contemplation. He says that this will enable the company to expend more money upon the betterment of the company's equipment for the City ol St. Louis. He declares that within a short time the company will be enabled to give the people of St. Louis the best street railway service they have ever had. NEW COAL TOWN BUILDING. The George's Creek Coal Co. is bui'.din,: a new coal town called Windell, three miles from Simpson, W. Va., in the Sand Lick region. John McGraw disposed of 5.000 acres of his coal land property at that place to the George's Creek people and that company is now building a railroad to the new field. . The first contract called for a single track, but after the work was begun, the contractors, Hamilton & Huffman, of Fairmont, were instructed to grade the roadbed wide enough for four tracks and to build all culverts of iron and concrete. One linn dred houses are now being erected at the terminus of this road, forming the new town of Windell. A complete water system and an electric light plant are to be installed and all the houses will be lighted by electricity and furnished with an abundant supply of water. The dwellings are two stories in height with brick and concrete foundations and are well finished throughout. Each liouse will have a bath room. The superintendent's residence will be built a short distance from the plant on a knoll overlooking the landscape. This structure wdl be a model of architecture and will cost when completed, in the neighborhood of $10,000. Later in the season the company will build several hundred coke ovens at this point. COAL LAND TRANSFERRED. Lewis S. Weaver, Simeon Deems and Ira Clever, of Centerville borough, Washington County, Pa., have coal lands to Jones & Pittsburg, at a uniform acre. sold their holdings in Laughlins. Ltd., of price of $500 per The property which was sold to the Jones and Laughlins firm is located in Centerville and adjoins coal territory which had formerly been transferred to the big steel firm. No. 2.* Captain John F. Dravo. Captain John F Dravo, of Beaver, has truly been styled the father of Ohio river improvement. From 1862 until the present time he has labored unceasingly and successfully for the bettering of the great inland waterways which mean so much for this entire section of the country. Capt. Dravo was born at West Newton, Pa., October 29, 1819. He entered into the coal business with his father at McKeesport, Pa., in 1840 under the firm name of M. Dravo & Son. A few years later he bought his father's interests in the business and later sold this coal property to John C. Risher. Tn 1870, Capt. Dravo engaged in the coke business in Connellsville. He founded the Pittsburg and Connellsville Gas Coal Co. which he sold to H. C. Frick in 1880. When Capt. Dravo entered the coal trade men hauled the pit cars from the mine which was a few miles above McKeesport. At this time dams Nos. 1 and 2 were all that had been built in the Monongahela river. It was while Capt. Dravo was operating his first property that man power was replaced by horses and mules. In 1862 the Panhandle railroad built the bridge across the Ohio river at Steubenville. The channel allowed between piers was 300 feet. and it was in his protest against this that Capt. Dravo first began his campaign for river improvement. *Coal and Timber will print each month the portrait and brief biography of men whose personality and lifework are of interest to the public they serve.
