<DIV align=left> The grading and laying of track on the Dumps
Creek extension is progressing at such a rapid rate that it will not be a long
time until the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway will be able to maintain a
regular schedule service on the extension. It will be only a short time
before the company will be prepared to ship coal through the Clinchfield Fuel
Company, the new company organized to sell the output of the Clinchfield Coal
Corporation, which has mines at Dante and Toms Creek as well as at Dumps
Creek. The post office at Dumps Creek will be known as Clinchfield.</DIV>
