Hastings.
Several enterprising citizens of Hast
ings purpose to investigate in the near
future the coal question in this locality
Evidences of coal were recently
brought to light when the Burlington
was sinking a we'll for a better supply
Of water at Hastings. Some sixty feet
down the drill penetrated a stratum Of
shale and coal eight feet in thickness.
A little below this there was a vein of
coal eight inches thick. The boring
continued down till a depth of 100 ieet
was reached, but no further coal de-
posits were struck. This well was sunk
, at the pumping station near the depot.
1t is now proposed to bore at point on
the hill side and to more carefully ob-
serve the quality and quantity of coal
that the drill may bring up.
