Enid Eagle: The tunnel from the bot
tom Of the Billings coal shaft to the
point where the drill had struck coal,
some weeks before, was completed a few
days ago but no coal was found. 1t
viii be remembered that the drill show
ed several deposits OF coal, which were
supposed to be beds of various thick
nesses, and that shaft was sunk some
twenty feet from the drill hole, after the
drill went down 24G feet. When the shaft
reached the level OF the deepest and
largest supposed vein, at depth OF 80
feet and no coal was found, the disap-
pointment was great. Tunnelling was
then commenced. with the result stated
above. George Misner, president Of the
company, stated to an Eagle reporter
that the drill hole was doubtless salt
ed, Notwithstanding the fact that pre-
cautions were taken to prevent 1t. De-
spite these discouraging conditions. the
promoters of the enterprise still have
mistaken faith that coal will be discov-
cred, but say they will have TO 60 much
deeper. An effort is being made to Sc
cure a core drill. to commence work at
the bottom of the shaft, and drill down
several hundred feet deeper.
