One day this week RECORD commits
sioner visited the coal mine of Thomas
Thornton, about one mile south of this
city. Mr.. Thornton was at the bottom of
the shaft, digging dusky diamonds, and
the only way TO interview him was to GO
down. Climbing into the huge tub, the
pencil knight was quickly lowered into
the darkness of the depths Arriving ..
the bottom, by the giimner of the head
light on that gcntleman's cap, the follow
ing notes were jotted down as the facts fell
from Mr.. Thornton's lips: The mine is
owned--three-fif.hs by Mr.. Thornton, and
two-fifths by the Becse brothers, of Ohio
1t was discovered by Mr.. Thornton, after
considerable prospecting, about two years
ago: but not worked to any extent until
somewhat recently. The present working
shaft is now down seventy feet, and an air
shaft of same depth, has been sunk near it,
The reliable vein has not yet been certain
ly struck, though about four fest OF fair
coal have been encountered. None has Yet
been put on the market, though Mr.. Thorn
ton hopes to strike a good article soon.
Next week he viii put on several miners,
and drive drift to the air shaft. He is
now having dump cars built, and prepar-
ing to lay railroad track in the DRIFT and
on the dump. His hoisting apparatus at
present is California whim, and works
like charm, being speedy and safe. On
his property ho has erected n neat house,
n blacksmith shop and n small stable, In
a few weeks we hope to be able TO say
more concerning this mine, and give evil
dcnce that the whole mesa south of the
Arkansas here is underlaid with ineShaust-
