northern Pacific Coal Company Begins
the Work to Facilitate Output.
RosLys, Oct Especial. l-RosIyn is about
TO take another step forward. The Northern
Pacific Coal Company has just commenced sink
ing shaft at the mines for the purpose of in
ereasing the facilities for mining coal The
company has spent considerable time and ex-
pense in securing suitable point at which to
begin sinking. Inasnuch as the shaft is 10 be
permanent fixture, its precise location was a
matter of the greatest consideration The
work win be pushed with all possible vigor until
the shaft is COMPLETED. II Is being sunk on
q level piece OF ground about 300 feet from the
present coal tipple. Its inside dimensions will
be 10x30 feet. From the surface ten feet OF this
shaft can be sunk without cribbing. The re-
naming portion of the shaft, before striking
the coal seam, will go down through clay, with
few feet OF gravel and sand on the north and
south sides of the shaft To operate the hoist
will require sixteen boilers of four batteries
each, all OF which are now on the grounds.
Mr.. Peter Hickman, master mechanic
OF the Northern Pacific Coal Company,
Is having the machinery and all
necessary appliances put in proper shape so
that there will be no delay whatever in begin
ming active coal mining as soon az the shaft
reaches the coal vein. 1t viii be a day of re-
joicing for the citizens of Roslyn when these
monster works are in readiness for business,
which will be within thirty days IL
viii give profitable employment to hun
dreds of men, some of whom are
idle in this locality now. The new plant
will increase the capacity of the Roslyn mines
10 such an extent that the increasing demand
for this fine quality of coal can be readily sup
piled, which cannot be done ut present, owing
to a lack OF mining facilities. The people here
are very jubilant over the future outlook OF the
camp. The coal is practically inexhaustible
