THE DEWEY MINE

Of the Dewey coal mine southeast Of

by Henry F. Evans Of Abba, leads to
the belief that the Dewey is to be-
come big railroad producer for the
Burlington The new owner is now in
charge and the final transfer from
the Center Coal Co. will soon be made.
The Center people will continue to
operate the Center mine on the Rock
Island which is running at full ca
pacity every day and is occupying
their attention to such an extent that
they decided to sell the other mine
which they acquired about four years
ago. Louis Anderson is the efficient
manager of the Center interests.
Mr.. Evans is son Of the late John

hold of the property here in an ag-
