Messrs. J. G. Shriver, civil engineer.
and W. G. Devecmon, of Cumberland
have been prospecting for coal on the
Devecmon farm, adjoining the Gil.
bert Warwick place. We understand
two good veins of coal have been
shown up and highly satisfactory re.
ports made of the find. Coal has also

openings are only from three to foul
miles from Bloomington and if ever
worked would certainly add to the
business of that community.
