It 18 a well-known fact that but few vis , ltor are allowed to vteit the Virginia ' and - West Virginia coal mine eave ' when they carry with them credentials from the officials of the corporation controlling the properties. In the famous Clinchfield mine at Dante is to be aeen the latest and most up ; to -date coal mining machinery, all operated ' by electricity generated at a -central plant and distributed 'throughout the Immediate district, j Al of the hauling 1 done by electricl- ty, the drilling Is done In the same ' way and every facility that make for economy and efficiency is utlllx 1 el. When one visits the coal mine at " Dante and rides over the tracks of 'the Clinchfield Railway system he has com to contact with the very beet that modern science can achieve in railroad and 'mining affair. ) The excursion, which will be made up of Pullman coaches throughout, to which will be attached a Pullman diner, will leave Charlotte on the morning of Thursday, July 15, at le:I5 o'clock. The ticket, which will cost tit. will Include transportation charge for the entire trip, going and coming, the Pullman reservation day and night, and the meals for the en tire time. Charlotte will be reached on the return Saturday night. Much has been written of the ciincnneia road, which pasaes through the heart of the . Appalachian mountains. It 1 enough to say that the scenery is the - most glorious this side of the Rockies and many hold that It . is not sur passed on the continent "Stepping heavenward" ha .been aptly used to express something of the beauty of ' the road, : ' 1. tA ha rnal fleMs at Dante.' few words may not be lnapropo. An -Observer man recently made the trip there with a party of South Carolina cotton mill men and wrote as. follows of the place in question f "la accordance with the schedule. the D&rtr Saturday morning donned regular outfit for miners, including ' the cap and cap-lamp for the trip through the wonderful coal neias. The outfits were furnished from the company's comissary and presented to the visitors as souvenir of tho trip. Under the direction of Mr. Roan ; the party boarded coal cart made entirely comfortable, so that better view might be had and visited what I known as the right fork of the de velopment The right fork Is as yet undergoing largely the preliminary work to opening the vein located on : It For the purpose of going Into the mine ' where jcoal is being actually mined and turned put there was pro vided ' A number of dumps used to haul the coal from the mine to the tipple. Those cars were drawn up the Incline to the mine openings by large electrically-driven engines. Ev ery detail of the mining was gone through with. Mr. Roan showing (n detail all the operations, making very prominent the enormous saving. In point of time as well as money, in the modern methods of mining as against old methods. Electricity, gen erated from one central plant Is used over the entire field for almost every move in the delevopment. The coal Is cut by the latest patented and improved coal digging electrically equipped machinery, one machine turning out in a day an amount of coal which is the equivalent of twen ty men's work for the same time by the old method.
