THAT COAL VEIN Is
ONE OF HISTORIC FAME

The Hope Dispatch, speaking VI
the coal vein in south Dickinson
says: The item from the Reflector
brings to our mind many stories we
have heard in the past 39 years OF
a coal deposit in that neighborhood.
Only three or four years ago an
old gentleman from Oklahoma, one
Of the early settlers of Marion coun-
ty, told us of large coal deposit
in northwest Marion county that
was discovered in an early day when
no one lived there, how he had in
vestigated the deposit and gone east
to get men with money interested,
but had a hard time getting them
and was gene many months, and
when he returned the big prairie
fires had so changed the landscape
that he could not locate the buried
outcroppings, and how for many
years he had continued to hunt for
that coal deposit without success.
"Some day" he declared, "that coal
vein will be found and those who
find it will become rich" We sim
cerely hope the vein is found and
that it will prove all those early
settlers claimed and still claim for IL.
