COAL FIELDS BOUGHT
Milwaukee Secures IS, 900 Acres
in the La Sale Mining
District.
ROAD SPENDS ABOUT 100000
To Have Fuel for All Time-To Com
meet Up the Prop
erty.

The management of the Milwaukee
& st. Paul railroad has just complet-
ed the purchase of $4,000 acres of rich
coal lands in Illinois at an expense of
nearly $2,O00.OO0, and is still holding
options on several thousand acres
more.
The purpose of the management is
TO provide the st. Paul system with
fuel for all time to come, and it is
stated that there is no present pur-
pose of engaging in the coal business,
despite the magnitude of the com
pany's purchases. The coal lands
which have been acquired quietly dur
| ing the last year are located in Put
nam, LaSaIle, Bureau and Hennepin
counties, west and southwest of La
Sale They are in what is known a
the LaSalle coal district, which con
tains the finest grade of Illinois coal
Negotiations for the property were
carried on for the ST. Paul company
by Banker Hopkins, of Bureau, and
his operations were so successful that
no inkling was obtained by interested
parties regarding the magnitude of
the deals nor the identity of the pur-
chaser. In many instances the St.
Paul company has purchased the land
outright, while in others ii has pur
chased the mining rights, and it is
understood that within one year the
company will be mining every ton of
coal used on the entire system.
Is st. Paul Concern.
In this connection it is learned that
the Rochelle & Southern road, which
was Incorporated last week at
Springfield with capital stock of
500 600. is a st. Paul concern. organ
lied with view to connecting the
lines of the St. Paul with the new
coal land purchase. The construc-
ton of this road will be begun next
spring and will be completed as eX-
peditiously as possible. The road
will extend from connection with
the ST. Paul at Davis Junction in Ogle
county to McNabb, which is 60 miles
almost straight south in Putnam
county.
