Home-Riverside Coal Mining compa.
ny, of this city, whose increase OF cap
ital stock from 100000 to $1,OO0,OO0
was announced a few weeks ago, has
contaminated its scheme for securing
all the available coal rights under the
bottom lands in Platte county, Mo-,
opposite the city. It has obtained
ownership to 1000 of surface lands
and 10000 acres of coal rights, for
which the sum Of 100000 has been
paid. 1t is proposed to sink two
shafts near Beverly, NO., where A
town of about 5000 people is prom
Used within five years. The two towns
will be connected by an electric road

a right Of way to the east end Of the
bridge. The new town will, in all
probability, be called McKibbinville,
after the president of the company.
