NEW HAVEN COAL MINES.
Promising Property in Which Local
People Are Interested.

Concerning the New Haven Coal
Mining Co. the officers of which are
copper country men, the Mining World
says:
The coal mines of this company are
located near the center of the great
manufacturing district of Michigan,
and Michigan is now one of the lead
ing manufacturing states. Not only
are there hundreds of factories within
close proximity to the New Haven
mines, but in that district there are
a great number of other large users Of
coal.
The New Haven was operated upon
a small scale until Lake people took
hold of it, but they have now made
a complete transformation of the mine
and its equipment. Formerly the coal
after il was mined. was hauled to
Owosso by teams, but the present
owners have built a railroad six miles
long connecting the mines with the
city of Owosso. where connection IS
made with the Michigan Central,
Grand Trunk and Ann Arbor rail-
roads. The company is also preparing
lthe underground workings for en-
ployment Of a large number of min
ers. New entries have been driven
and rooms turned and improvements
made that will enable the most econ
omical mining. A large new hosting
shaft has been put down and fully
equipped with rapid self dumping
cages. In the boiler and powerhouse
everything is new and of ample cap
acity. A large steam power ventilat-
ing fan is operated at this shaft keep
ing the mine fully ventilated. For the
purpose of screening, sizing and load
ing the coal on railroad cars a fully
equipped modern coal tipple has been
erected. A complete outfit of scales
has been installed and the safety
sprinkling apparatus protects the en-
tire building from fire.
j. w. Edwards. formerly with the
Con. Coal Co. OF Saginaw, one of the
ablest coal mining superintendents in
the state is in charge of the mining
operations.
