THE PASSING OF KEB
NINE Is ABANDONED AND ONCE
FAMOUS MINING TOWN SOON
TO BE BUT A MEMORY.
Largest Producing Mine Ever Opened
in WapeIIo county-output in PaImy
Days WIS t,1oo Tons Each Day
Tearing Down Equipment.

The Keb mine, for a number Of
years the greatest producer of coal
ever opened up in Wapello county, has
been abandoned and the equipment is
being removed to other mines. About
fifty tons of coal were removed from
the mine on Thursday of last week
and since that time the work of dig
ging coal has been totally abandoned
and today the mine is thing of the
past.
100 Tons Each Day.
The Keb mine was established in
1892 by the Whitebreast Fuel company
of this city. The location was selected
and laid out by the late o. NJ. Ladd
under the direction of Superintend-
emit T. J. Phillips. The mine
developed rapidly and the output
soon reached 500 tons. Within
few years the daily output increased
TIL at it's most palmy days it produced
LOO tons each day.
Six years ago the property went
into the hands of L. w. Fowler as re-
ceiver, who later turned it over to the
Iowa & Illinois Fuel company. The
heavy output continued with slight
diiuluuCloH I'LL uuIlLS ldSI OCtOUoT.
Since that time the decline has been
rapid. A few weeks ago the mine and
equipment was sold by the Iowa & Hi
11ois Fuel company to Henry Phillips.
Abandon the Mine.
The output of the mine has con-
tinued to decline rapidly till on last
Thursday the workmen received or
ders to clean up the coal dug and pre-
pare to abandon the mine. Today the
iron and the cars are being removed
from the mine and the dump is being
torn down. Much Of the material is
being brought to the mine at Rutledge.
The POPULATION of Keb has dwindled
to about twenty-five or thirty families.
About dozen of the houses have al
ready been removed to the west end
of Ottumwa. The post Office was re-
Gently abandoned and the station
placed on a rural route.
With the dispensing Of the remain.
ing families and the passing of the
village store the name of Keb which
was once widely heralded throughout
the middle western states by the
splendid coal which 1t produced, will
be but memory.
