Va., owned and controlled by the Davis Colliery Company, have again resumed active operation after an enforced idleness of six months. Work at these mines was suspended last May on account of the poor condition of the coal and coke trade. The ovens are now in blast, and the mines will be worked to their full capacity. —W. F. Taylor, president of the Meadow Mountain Lumber Company, Fairndsville, Md., has just purchased 20.000 acres of timber land at Haurer, on the Coal & Iron extension of the West Virginia Central railway, from Mohen and Flaurer.

Va., is in rapid progress, there being a large force of men at work, and the weather has been most favorable for making the outside improvements. The mines are now dumping on an average of 200 tons of coal per day, which is all used for coaling engines on the Panhandle, but as soon as the improvements are completed they will mine hundreds of tons for shipment, making Colliers one of the most important coaling places upon the road. The big improvements consist in the erection of a large Coal tipple with all modern appliances for running and unloading coal into cars.
