Coal for Market.


In the country surrounding Stella,
Cowlitz county, WASH, it has been
known for q number of years that crop
pings of coal have been discovered, and
some prospecting and development
work have been done. The coal assay
ed we'll, and it was comparatively easy
of access, but for some reason it was
found difficult to interest capital sum-
cient to mine and ship the coal on
large enough scale to make it profita-
BILE, and the man who owned the most
valuable properties in that locality had
not the means to do SO himself. About
six months ago the following capital
lists of The Dalles became interested In
the property: Hon. Malcolm A.
Moody, J. M. French, ]. B. Mclnerny
and j. Nicholas. They employed a
practical mining engineer who had had
experience in this character of work,
and had thorough inspection of the
properties made. The result was that
they formed q company giving the
owner of the land half interest In
paid.up, worcestershire stock. while
they agreed to furnish all the money
necessary. They purchased machine' y
of the latest design in the East, and
most of it has arrived and been set up.
1t is the expectation of the company
to have coal from its mine on the
market within 60 days of quality
equal to any that is now used in the
Northwest, and at price very much
below that at which it is now sold.
In carrying out their present plans
they will build railroad from Stella,
four miles up Cold creek to where the
mine is located.
