Virginian in 1909--Two items

[NW Mailing List]

I attempting to copy this article two "photos" that were at the page breaks  
did not reproduce despite the fact that all of the text was printed.   Any 
idea how I can retrieve the missing items ?
 
Thanks for your help.  Have a happy day.

This  below web site has good biographical information on Major Jed 
Hotchkiss,  CSA.  He was initially on General Stonewall Jackson's staff where he  
served as Jackson's  topographer.   He provided General Jackson vital support 
especially during Jackson's  brilliant Valley Campaign of 1862.

If I  recall, Jed Hotchkiss was General Lee's chief topographer during the 
Civil  War. He and his staff were responsible for mapping out terrain and  
producing maps in the field. Quite a feat for an army on the move during a  
campaign.
 
There  was an article on him with photos of some of his maps several years 
ago in the  magazine America's Civil War.

IN  CITY AND COALFIELD 
------ 
New  Virginian Branch 
It comes from reliable authority that H. H. Rogers, owner of the Virginian  
railway, will start in a short time building a branch up New River to a  
connection with main line near Lurich.  The branch has been surveyed  from Matoaka 
down Big Bluestone and up New River.  A survey had also  been made from the 
mouth of Bluestone, down the New River by Hinton to  Glade, the company owning 
these rights of ways. 
------ 
[We have maps in the Archives by  Jed Hotchkiss of Civil War surveyor fame 
showing how the N&W early on  considered building down New River from the mouth 
of East River (now Glen  Lyn, Va.) to the mouth of Bluestone and then up 
Bluestone to  the Flat  Top coal fields, but instead chose to go up along East 
River to  Bluefield.  Have any maps of these Virginian surveys turned up?   Did 
the Virginian really own these rights of  way? 

Two Injured on  Virginian 
Near Mullens, on the Deepwater division of the Virginian, Friday night two  
engines came in collision.  Both were badly damaged, and Engineer  Starightiff 
had an ankle broken, and Fireman Wheeler had one of the legs  smashed.
