POST CARD

This picture was taken in 1915 at Vulcan, Alberta. It shows one
of the five Reeves Steamers that were owned by W. H. Jurney &
Sons. This 40-140 C.C. Reeves [pulling 7 drills & harrows]
would seed a 1/4 section which is 160 acres, in a day, burning
Drumheller coal. All of the 7 drills are not seen in the picture as
part of it is cut off. The engineer is my Uncle Clyde, the man at
extreme left, is my Uncle Loyd, and the man in the middle is my
Dad, Howard Jurney, all brothers. Courtesy of Arlo Jurney, F3

In bottom picture, Mike stands, justly proud beside his Avery
under mounted steam model. All items of wagon and machines are the
products of his own ingenuity and skillful attention to detail. He
also showed two gas engine models and one hot air engine model
built by his talented son, Wilbur. The latter items were
photographed, but in my amateurish way, I bungled the pictures.

A photo of an underground STEAM LOCOMOTIVE that
was used in a coal mine near Morgantown, West Virginia. I have been
told that it was charged with steam at the stationary power plant
and would last for several hours before it needed recharged. It was
used to pull coal cars into & out of the mine. Note the large
diameter and the length of the boiler barrel. Also it looks to have
a large diameter cylinder. Many ‘THANKS’ to ‘COAL
MONTHLY MAGAZINE’ & Editor George Contos for permission to
use this picture. [Box 538, National Road West, St. Clairsville,

photographs pertaining to the mining and railroad industries for
use in their monthly magazine. Courtesy of Wm. Flowers, Box #332,
