BIG COAL MINE
DEAL REPORTED
Eastern Syndicate TO Take Over Coal
Mines in MuhIenberg, Hopkins,

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INVOLVED.

Reports have been in circulation
recently that an eastern syndicate
was to take over the largest coal
mines in this county, Hopkins, Ohio
and Mclean. Messrs. w. ID. Nc
Ilnenny and Shelby Gish, OF Central
City, are representatives of the east
ern men, and have secured options
on about forty mines, about two doz-
en- of them being in this county, and
including practically all the devel-
oped fields. The sc options were Sc
cured some month ago, and run un-
I'll the first of April The proposed
deal will involve srme millions of
dollars, and will be the largest ever
carried through IN the state-if it is
closed. There is nor much prob
ability of such thing being done,
in the opinion OF some We informed
men in the coal business, but at the
same time it is conceded rhat it is
probably only a question OF few
years until the coal in iris section
will be in the hands of a syndicate.
However, at this time it is not
thought that conditions are favor
able for so vast an undertaking.
