HARTINGTON — The people of Jackson are excited, all because an expert who examined the Riley and McBride Coal Mine, reported that the coal near Jackson was equal to any Iowa coal. Riley and McBride have steadfastly refused to let anyone down the shaft, but the expert gave them the slip and succeeded in getting down where he found a vein of coal three feet and eight inches thick and much harder than Iowa coal. He also measured the depth of the shaft and found it to be 73 feet. The expert tried to secure an option on the mine, but Riley and McBride remarked that their future was in the mine and money could not buy it. A core drill will not be put in and samples of the coal taken up and sent to Lincoln for examination.
