YEARS AGO.

Speaking OF the coal mines sur.

physboro Independent says In this
connection it may be interesting 10
note that coal has been mined at
Mnrphysboro since 1S10--almost 100
years, and this was the first coal dis
covered in Illinois. For many years
the coal was taken out by means of
tunneling the bluffs across the Big
Muddy river from Murphysboro,
which was not then in existence.
Quite a settlement of miners and
their families located in the hills on
the east side OF the river and was
known by the name of Mt Carbon
but was never Incorporated. When
the county seat was changed from
Brownsville, Murphysboro was start
ed, and grew slowly, finally becoming
larger than Mt. Carbon"
