The Black Mountain Road a Boon

  Bristol, Va., Dec. 16 - Special - The Black Mountain railway, which 
is an extension of the Virginia and Southwestern Railway from 
Appalachia to St. Charles, in Lee county, Va., is now being used to 
bring the Lee county coals to market. Regular coal trains have just 
been put in operation on this new piece of road, and coal is being 
hauled from the Lee county fields to Bristol by a direct route.
