THE cOALviILE MINES.
The II. Y.Academy Busmcs, Journal
contains the following sketch OF thu
coal mines ut Coalvllle, summit c0un.
"; About the year ls5l,ns nearly rs
am able to ascertain, the Utah logisla-
ture appropi Aitd a sum OF $4,000 ~ DO
given az q bounty TO the first dlscovefer
0f coal within forty miles Of Salt Lake
| City. In 1861 coal was frst discovered
near Coalvllle by John Spriggs, and II
being within the radius mentioned ho
Obtained tho reward. The mine was
eltuated In tho eastern part oi the city
and the slope was driven westward
under the city. After several
yrnn Of successful operation, the
mine wns abandoned aud has
since lain Idle. Many thousand
tons Of coal were taken FROM under the
city, which csuaed q large portion to
settle, doing, however, very little
damage. Sevotnl other mines have
been opened from time 30 timo which
helped 60 supply the coal demand. The
largest and most important IA known
as the "WAsatch, pownsd and operated
by the Home Coal %. IL IS from this
mine that Park CITY receives tho
| principal part Of hor coal supply. There
are employed here working toroe OF
about one hundred and twOnty men,
mos, OF whom are Of Englleh birth or
descent. The average output IL about
100 tons per day. A branch OF the
Union Pacific extends 10 the mine,
about "a miles from CoAlvillc.
The beds lin the vicinity contain an
excellent quality OF bituminoua coal,
which appears to DO OF recent geologi-
cal formation. Experiments have
proven that II Ia OF n non.ooking char.
acter and hence OF littls use In the
smelling OF ores. IL has been estimated
that there il enough coal In summit
county to last for 100 years 10 come, u
| the output reached 500 tons per dny. II
would seem, then, that there need b.
no apprehension that our generation
| will suffer for want OF coal. Yet there
are vast fields lying Idle only waiting
| for the time when the increasing in'
dustfies OF Utah will demand their ex'
traction.
