James Wilson, of Centerville, coal
operator of many years experience, was
in Leon couple of days the first of the
week consulting with local parties in
regard to developing the coal found
here. Mr.. Wilson has sunk and operated
three Of the Centerville shafts, and after
examining the cores Of the coal found
here and the record of the drilling, did
not hesitate to say that several of the
veins could be mined to good advantage,
and pointed out that we had thicker
veins to work in than those at Center
Vile, the best of which are less than
thirty inches. Mr.. Wilson said that
miners preferred to work in coal less
than three feet in thickness rather than
thicker vein. Plans are now being
formed to incorporate stock company
to drill couple more prospect holes
and sink shaft, but they are not fully
matured yet. There is no question but
what there is coal here and all it takes
| is a little grit and energy to develope it.
