The success of the Coal Run Coal Co,
of Streator, in working third vein coal at
their colliery, cannot fail to be OF immedi-
ate interest to all the southern end Of this
county, for biologists tell us that all that
part of the county contains this vein of
coal. Interested Streator parties and others
have insisted that the thlnness Of the vein
(some 50 to SO inches) made the working
of it impracticable because expensive; but
the operations of the Coal Run Co, as be
fore mentioned by us,shows this view to be
fallacious. The latest report of their
operations comes through the Streator
Free Press (the original skeptio) as fol

THE mining OF the lower vein is pro.
ceeding at a steady and certain pace at the
Coal Run coliery. They now have their
main entries driven the proper distances
