Among the visitors in jackson last
week we forgot to mention Judge
John YuIe of Oakland. He arrived in
this city Wednesday, and returned to
Oakland the following day. He is
president and principal stockholder
of the Stcne Canyon Consolidated
Coal Mining Company, whose works
are situated in the Gabilan mountains
in the southeastern part of Monterey
county. The editor of the Ledger
visited this property two weeks ago,
and was shown all through the works,
embracing over 5000 feet of drifts and
tunnels cut through solid wall of
coal the entire distance, averaging
about fifteen feet III width. The idea
is prevalent that no first-class coal
has been discovered in California
This notion, however, has been dis
proved by the developments in Stone
canyon. The product of this mine is
only surpassed by the celebrated
anthracite coal of Pennsylvania, and
all the developments and indications
point to a vast deposIt-one which
cannot be exhausted in century OF
activity. The mine is situated twenty
miles or more from the nearest rail-
road point, and hence the coal cannot
be handled prohtabIy until cheap,
rapid transportation is provided by
the construction of a railI DAD to the
mine. 10 the accomplishment of this
task the company is now bending its
energies, doating bonds bearing six
per cent interest with substantial
bonus of stock as an additional in
ducement to investors. Mr. George
Burbeck was in this county last week
for the purpose of selling bonds. The
visit of Judge YuIe was also on busi-
ness concerning the coal mine. The
company is anxious to construct the
railroad this year, and have the coal
on the market by the beginning OF
next year.
