Presen County Mines Resume Operations At Howesville
Kingwood Oct 2 reliable authority states the Kingwood Coal Company at Howesville Preston County will resume operations at its large mine plant and employ over 20 men when full operation returns. The plant is idle two years or more and is one of the largest along the West Virginia Northern railroad. The mine is owned by Philadelphia interests. Tdtac Coon is superintendent. The mine is expected to take the output for several years, with prosperity seen by Howesville residents. Merchants Coal Company of Philadelphia has a big plant at Tunnelton now in full operation, employing about 250 men, supplying coal to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and shipping to Rowlesburg. Last week Germani Coal and Coke Company near Tunnelton began work, progressing well, with crews taken daily and the plant nearing full blast. Labor is scarce and foreigners around the area may depart for Europe to join armies, threatening native labor needs and suggesting months of work for locals.
