Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option. Thank you. Portrait of: JAMES BOYCE, an extensive individual coal miner and shipper, was born in the town of Chester, Orange County , New York, January 8, 1823. He was subsequently employed by a retail coal dealer in New York city, with whom he continued as clerk until 1842 , when he commenced the same business on his own account. Soon afterward , he also engaged in the wholesale trade. In 1847, he became interested in the Cumberland coal fields, and afterward invested largely in bituminous coal lands in Maryland and Virginia, which he operated in his own name, and took an active interest, as a stockholder and general agent, in one of the largest coal companies in the Maryland region, from which he realized large profits. He was subsequently elected President of the Franklin Coal Company of Maryland , of which he became sole owner in 1865. During the civil war he made heavy contracts in the Pennsylvania region for anthracite coal and shipped immense quantities therefrom to the United States Government, which also yielded him large profits .
