IN MONEY IT MEANS ABOUT S300.000.000 Will Iteiirment ,ot Only the Inilc vclonril Proportion, lint Those Alrrnil)- Topped .llciin nil Incrcnsc of Trnilc. PITTSHURO, Pa.. Sept. 3. Tho Post' will say: All tho coal mining companies of Pennuylvnnla, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Illi nois, 'West Virginia and Kentucky nre to be consolidated Into one great corporation by tho J. P. Morgan syndicate. The enormous proportions of this corpora tion can hardly he realized. The fact that the Pittsburg Coal company, with Its cap ital of $01,000,000, nnd tho Monongahela River Consolidated Coal nnd Coko com pany, with Its capital of $30,000,000, arc to be Included In the greater consolidation, brings tho matter strongly before Pittsburg coal operators. These two corporations practically control all the output In tho Pittsburg district nnd extend their opera tions well down toward West Virginia In two directions. Officers of these companies nre expecting to attend n meeting of the coal opcintors In Now York on Thursday of next" week, nt which tho preliminary, steps toward the formation of tho greater combine will be taken. Other Interests that will ho represented from the Pennsyl vania fields will bo from tho Herwlnd Whlto company, tho New Fairmont Coal company, nnd a large mimber of smnll corporations of this ring. Still other In terests to bo represented will bo Ohio, Illi nois, Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky, where for tho last two months movements have been on for the consolidation of these states Into state corporations. ItnllronilH lluvu it riimrr In It. Tho railroads ore nlso taking a keen In terest In tho project and, owing to tho Morgan Interests predominating In that field, the consolidation Is looked upon as being unusually strong. The Pennsylvania Railroad company, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company nnd western roads under tho Morgan lnlluence nro associated, It Is said, In tho great movemonLjuhlch prom ises to rlvnl lii-1mpnrtnnce B recent or ganization of tho United Stores Steel cor poration. ' Tho plans for the consolidation have been going on quietly for somo months. The plnn of notion Is snld to have been Hrst to get iho minor corporations of ono state and nil the Individual operators ns well Into one company, on 'the samo baBls ns the Pitts burg Coal company. After this hnd been accomplished tho intention was to group all the companies and control them by a parent corporation ns a stock owning com pany only. The combination of the Ohio fields Is said to have been brought Into fairly good shnpe. Tho ImlJana fields and those In Illinois are also In form for tho flnnl move, as recent corporation plans thcro have brought tho many Individual coal Interests together. In Kentucky tho plan Is still In an ombryotlc state, but u company has been planned with it capital of $10,000,000 to talco up nil tho coal mines there. Went Vlru;lnlii llnrileitt to Ilnntlle. Tho West Virginia fields nre perhaps tho most difficult to handle, owing to their loca tion and varied ownerships. It Is Bald that tho promoters nave practically abandoned UOi plan ot including the .Pocahpn.tqs 'field in tho general plnn for tho greater trust. Mr. Bacon, one of the actlvu. partners of Mr. Morgan, hns been spending several weeks In West Virginia during tho past summer and early spring, getting options on much coal property. The total holdings tu that state arc said to bo largo nnd nBtdo from tho Pocahontas fields nnd that portion In tho Flat Top region ombrnco all avail able lat.ds a lid much that will bo held In reserve for years. Tho completion of the project will mean the consolidation of from $200,000,000 to $300,000,000. This will represent not only tho undeveloped properties In tho six states, but also tho actual coal properties under de velopment. There nro millions of acres ot coal lauds that Mie greater trust will hold In rescrvo for future use, while Its present working properties will bo sufficient for a vast In crease In the development, of tho coal trade, not only In this country but In tho South American countries and in Europe.
