Mining Matters.
Rich Hill Review.
The prospect for work for the
miners of this field is a little better
this week If this winter weather
should continue it would be greatly
to their benefit.
Mining matters seem to be slow
everywhere. The Kansas & Texas
Coal Company discharged 200
miners at their Ardmore mine Satur
day, owing to dull times. The
Loomia Coal Co. mine No. 4 has
closed down.
A wonderful deposit of coal has
been discovered twelve miles south
of Marshall. The coal lies four feet
below the surface. The drill has
penetrated to a depth of 63 feet
and is sMll in coal, which is hard,
compact and possesses highly ignit
able qualities-
