The album contains photographs taken during an inspection trip made by a party from the Coal Lands Securities Company to properties in West Virginia owned by the Lackawanna Coal and Lumber Company and the Highland Lumber Company. This trip was made in August, 1914. The Reynolds Mine, the Paint Creek Mine and the Scranton Mine are all featured in the photographs, with images showing miners loading coal cars and electric mine locomotives hauling the coal to the surface and to processing plants. The interior and exterior of coal tipples in this area, particularly the Reynolds Tipple, also appear. Gas wells in Boone County, West Virginia, which were owned by the Lackawanna Coal and Lumber Company, are feature in four photographs. Images of the lumber industry in this area feature enormous log piles along the Laurel Creek Railroad, steam locomotives transporting the logs for the Highland Lumber Company and assorted views of the sawmill, equipment and lumber yards at the Seth Lumber Plant. Company stores and housing for the mill workers at Seth are also featured in several images.
