Large Second Vein of Coal Discovered.
lis An Eldon Concern.

lis An Eldon Concern.
Eldon, Nov. -(SpeciaD " ester
day the large second vein on the FL
don Coal & Coke company's property
was discovered, about sixty feet soon
er than expected. This makes this
undertaking a success beyond all
doubt.
This company was organized last
spring, for the purpose of developing
mining properties in this neighbor-
hood, and began work at once on the
Shore property, northeast of town.
After sinking shaft over 120 feet the
property was given up as it failed to
give up the class of coal desired.
Shortly after the stopping of this
work options were secured on several
pieces of property across the river
and drilling was begun at once. The
best outlook was found about two
Rock Island tracks, and a tunnel was
begun, which soon brought them to a
fine vein of domestic coal four feet
thick. A landing was made and an
entry started, while another force of
men were kept in the main slope with
the above result. This vein is about
four and one-half feet thick and of the
very best steam coal. The slope is
double track about 225 feet in the hill
side, right along the Rock Island
track, which will enable easy ship
ment. A force of thirty men is be-
ing worked in three shifts of eight
hours each and complete machinery
for the further working of the mine
has been ordered and is expected at
any time. The work is under the
management of Supt. D. ]. Lloyd, and
the following board of directors: d.
A. Jay, president; S. H. Sawyers, vice
president; F. Shore, secretary; R.
Ritz, treasurer; A.. ]. Allen, Chas.
Bierce, Ed. Trott and Joe Giles. This
industry is entirely the work of Eldon
capital and push and will no doubt be
a boom to our city as the company has
options on the Hollenback, Stevenson,
Furtney and Brooks properties, be-
sides extensive options on this side of
the river, and expect to be able to put
200 men to work in the near future.
