making on the farm of Chris Limle, at
Green River, just beyond Colona. in
Henry county, that gentleman appears
TO be in a fair way TO change his pres
ent occupation for that of a coal
baron. Mr.. Limle has known for a
long time that his land held valuable
deposits of coal, but he never went as
deep as the canal workmen, and there
fore never realized the extent to which
black diamonds underlie the property
4 five-fOot vein of the finest quality of
soft coal has been laid bare.
This interesting and valuable find
was made by the canal wOrkmen who
have been eXcavating to build the
foundation for the aqueduct pier
This work necessitated going little
deeper than ordinary, and it disclosed
the valuable five-foot vein of coal
The canal workmen Immediately ap-
propriated the find and used the coal
in their work.
Mr.. Limle does not know just what
he will do in regard to the find. But
he will have arrangements made to
have an expert make borings at other
places on the farm. There is no
doubt but that rich and extensive coal
fields underlie the farm and the coal
indstry will be one which will be es-
ta6lished at Green River station.
