The Illinois Steel company has purchased twenty-three coal mines in West Virginia and southern Illinois, valued at more than $10,467,000. This information, originating in New York, was discovered yesterday by the Examiner.
The transaction, intended for protection Against a coal famine, Inclueles twenty-two mines In the Pocahonta-s field of West Virginia and tli Middle Feirk mine in Franklin County, Illinois. The facts of most significance to the coal-eonstiming public are: 1. The Steel Corporation, by using practically all the Pocahontas coal In its Eastern plants, will drain the Western market of hundreds of thousands of tons of flat-heating ere-' This may inflate prices enormously. 2. i..y taking over the Middle Fork mine the Steel Corporation indicates the stringency of the coal shortage, for it never before has entered the Illinois field. 3. Purchase of the Middle Fork mine also indicates that Illinois coal can be made into coke. This is the first tangible result of experiments covering rnany years made by Dr. R. S. Morse of Chicago.
