profitable Coal Mines in weId

Burrowing for their winter homes a
few weeks ago. prairie dogs on the
Vernon McKelvy farm. in Lone Tree,
Weld county, brought up small pieces
OF coal. This led to an investigation
which uncovered an eight-foot vein Of
good coal. As soon as crops are off
the MoKelvy fields the owner will put
down shaft and expects to open a
splendid deposit. He believes that it
will be feasible to open and operate
the coal mine and yet not materially
interfere with growing crops on the
land.
The discovery goes far to prove that
valuable coal fields underlie northern
Weld county and that the coal mining
and the development of the coal areas
may be made profitable. This is the
opinion of Fort Collins and Denver
capitalists. who are now making a
thorough inspection of the supposed
coal fields.
