NEW UNLOADING RECORD.
Reports from Superior, Wis., where the Heyl-
Patterson Co. of Pittsburgh installed a huge coal
dock rig some months ago for the Northwestern
Fuel Co., show that the world's record for speedy
unloading* has been surpassed. Two of the largest
lake freighters, laden with 10,000 tons of coal
each, were unloaded in 36 hours, four hours less
than the contract stipulated. During a test the
"bridge" handled as high as 812 tons in one hour.
It is a "10-coal bridge" oi the Heyl-Patterson
type, equipped with a standard 10-ton digging
bucket and a six-ton clean-up bucket. The changing
from one bucket to another requires only 10
or 15 minutes. The bridge has a clear span of
550 feet, with a total length of 710 feet. It is
the largest self-propelled structure ever mounted
on wheels. It has 15 motors. The boats are unloaded
with from 15 to 20 fewer trips than were
formerly required.
At the request of all the stockholders of the
Brady Coal Co.. the mines of which are located
at Mabie, Randolph county, W. Va., Judge Warren
B. Kittle, of Elkins, W. Va„ appointed A. N.
Humphries of Philippi, receiver for the coal company.
The request for a receiver is not the result
of any insolvency or threatened insolvency, but
solely the result of internal differences as to the
management of the coal operations. The Brady
mine is and has been paying handsomely for several
years and is regarded among mining experts
as an excellent mine.
The Emerald Coal & Coke Co., of Pittsburgh,
has filed notices with the state department at Harrisburg,
Pa., of an increase in capital stock from
$1,500,000 to $2,000,000.
