The Pittsburg Tribune describes shaft
No. ) at Chicopee, the Santa Fe's- lafg-
est coal mine.
In July 1896, the preliminary work
was commenced on shaft No. ., of the
Santa Fe Coal company. The property
has all been leased and the company is
now known as the Mt. Carmel Coal
company, with c. J. Devlin of Topeka,
as it's head
The work of sinking the shaft pro-
gressed rapidly and early in the fall
the plant has assumed shape, but a fight
with the Missouri Pacific Railroad com
pany, for right of way for side track
and switching facilities caused a delay
of two months.
The shaft is located about one mile
northwest of Chicopee on high point
of ground and is the center of 1000
acres of the best coal land in Kansas
The property has been owned by the
Santa Fe railroad for a good many
years.
The engine house is 80 by 60 and built
in a most substantial manner, being
provided with a first-motor double en-
CINE. with cylinder % by SO and capable
of hosting $4,000 pounds with ease a
any one time.
The work of driving entries goes on
night and day and it will only be
short time until a large force of miners
will be at work. About so are now en-
ployed. The engine will hoist and han
die coal for 500 miners. In fact over
100 cars can be loaded in one day.
All main entries on the bottom run
ming east and west are provided with
double tracks and the whole plan is to
equip it with the best and most i'm
proved machinery, making the cost of
production economical, and the capaci-
ty very large.
The air shaft is Is by II feet in size
and has every equipment for ventila-
ton and the best machinery for a safe
and bountiful supply of air
The stone powder house "a by 20 is
nearly completed and is located north
of the main shaft
There is a very large boiler house &c
by 30 containing three boilers 5 by %
feet. Two are kept hot to suDDlv
steam and the third is used in an en-
Urgency to supply steam when either of
the two is disabled, insEring power IN

case and they will hold 100 cars. The
track slopes southeast away from the
shaft and the cost and labor of noovino
empty and loaded cars is thus very
small The grading for the tracks was
