sCoFIILD COAL PROPERTY
soon To RESUME SHIPPING

The mines Of the fcofleld Coal COM
paRy viii resume coal shipments
within the next few days, according
to Robert Howard. who made an In
spection Of that property last week.
Until six years ago these mines were
operated by the Union Pacific rail-
road. which ceased operations be-
cause OF the heavy production Of the
mines ON It's own lines thus saving the
freight formerly paid 10 the Denver
aud Rio Grande. The Scofield mines
win now be operated by the scofield
Coal company under lease from the
Union Pacific.
While under ordinary conditions
the Scofield mines would contribute
largely In relieving any shortage OF
coal next winter. Il Is the opinion OF
Howard that the production win not
he materially heavy because OF the
shortage OF labor which threatens 20
become more critical AZ winter APP
