BIG COAL MINING DEAL.
All Properties in Southern IIlroi
About to Be Consolidated.

All Properties in Southern Illinois
About to Be Consolidated.
st. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 5.-Practically
all Illinois coal mines within radius
of fifty miles of St. Louis is on the
verge of consolidation. .
Operators of the mines who gave
options on them two yealE ago to
Walter j. Holbrook, were notified
Feb. that he intends to exercise his
options. The consolidation was not
completed when first undertaken on
account Of the financial depression.
The deal will involve $50,000,000.
The plan according to coal men,
contemplates two things-cheaper
production Of coal for st. Louis and
an increase in consumption by en-
couraging manufacturing industries
to be established here. The inner
group of mines, that is, the mines
within the fifty miles radius, supply
practically all of the coal consumed
in St. Louis. The receipts of coal in
st. Louis and East st. Louis are
about 12,500,C00 tons year.
