The Georges Creek Company "Opens
Up Abandoned Mines.


Up Abandoned Mines
CUMBERLAND. Nd. Dec. 12-The
Georges Creek Coal and Iron Company
has opened up three mines on the OF
tract Of The Hampshire and Baltimore
Coal Company, near Midland, the latter
having gone out of existence, believing
that the great bulk of its property has
been exhausted The impression that
considerable coal remained in the aban-
doned mine would mo- down and the
Georges Creek Coal I'D Iron Company
eventually got possession of it. During
the present year the company has opened
three mines and connected them by a
tramFoad. An incline plane has been
built down the mountain to the Georges
Greek and Cumberland Railroad.
The quantity of coal this property con-
tains is estimated at 100000 tons. which
al 500 tons n day would allow FIVE years
work Many believe the estimate too low
and that the output will exceed twice
that amount, which will be very good for
a coal property once abandoned as ex-
hausted. The mine has been named Mid
land mine No and is a quarter Of a
mile from the town
The Columbia Coal COMPANY recently
formed organization. has leased from the
Consolidation Coal Company the coal tract
lying between Ocean and the old Miller
