The new mine as it is built will like-! ly l>e electrified with power from the Traction company lines, and will lie modern in every particular. Tho Wyatt openings will be the first venture of the men into the coal operating field, and should they make good on the first opening, there is a probability that one or more openings will ho started on their 5.000-ere tract.

Close of Lake Trade Helps Local Operators USUAL CRIMP IN BUSINESS HERE NOT FELT. SAYS C. H. JENKINS "The Fairmont coal field never knew ! when the lake trade stopped," said C. H. Jenkins, of the Coal Operators' Association, today. The Fairmont district has for a.number c?f \:rs been rather extensively interested in the lake trade, and its closing with the ! closing of the lakes to traffic in theI early winter, has usually resulted in a crimping of operations locally. ! This year, however, there has not: been a single moment's cessation or | curtailment of the local operators. The I closing of (he lakes has resulted in i uu>aiuu&u? to mem, tor u means tnuti many of tho cars formerly used in! hauling lo the great lakes can lie used for shorter hauls and corresponding quick returns. This, it is hoped, will make for a slight relief of the present shortage. Another tiling that is expected to help the local car shortage, is the closing of the sugar lieet season. While 1 the movement of the sugar bet crop is i on. practically all the cars of the Pert j Marquette railroad are thus engaged. ' Now this movement is over and the j ears are released for coal trade. j The closing of the lake trade and j the releasing of the Pere Marquette cars, causing n slight relief in the car situation, lias resulted in a slight hreaa of the market, but not enough to effect ^ tho coal operators to an appreciable' extent. j Christmas Time h Is the Place to D< it Come here and set your Chrism upon every evening, and is full ol' and the prices are the lowest in t George A.
