Sclfcrt. one of th6 best-known coal exports of the country, ami who Is consultlnp engineer of tlic Cnstlc Valley j Coal company of tills state, passed through Salt Lake City. Krltlay. ' "flor ImvliiR made one of his regular visits of Inspection Inspec-tion to this property at Price. Emery county. Mr. Sclfert Is enromo to the far northwest to examine coal lands, for. as ho said yesterday, he spends tally M per cent of his time underground and for many years past lie has covered an average of GO. 000 miles per annum In the search of coal properties. The 1'tah coal Melds have no more llrm advocate- that this Chicago expert, and ho believes that the several bait Lakers Interested In tho Castle Valley -ompany have one of the groutest coal mines In the country. To Tho Tribune "Iii the llrst place, tho Cnstlo Valley property Is located In a coal section which i call fool-proof, meaning thai, no matter how one might blunder In operation, oper-ation, ho would develop a big coal mine, lust the same as the experienced man. The Castle Valley lms the greatest layout lay-out I have over come across during my many rears' experience in the coal regions re-gions of this hemisphere. Tho main vein contains thirty-four feet of the llnest roal you could llnd anywhere. The vein has a splendid roof and bottom, and with tho exception of a few small veins which I know of this one vofn of coal has tho highest heal units to bo found anywhoru. "The company Is fast rounding out the equipment improvements lo the mlno. nnd it will be ready to ship from 300 to 400 tons of coal daily some time between tho middle of July and the 1st of August. By fall. U'C production will bo Increased until the 1000-ton ppr day capacity Is gained. This mine has been known for yeai-s. and tho people of that section for twenty-llvo years, have gone there to gel their supply of fuel. Their work has resulted re-sulted itr the- fact that 11 Is possible to drive a four-horse team Into tho mine, load (ho wagon and turn without trouble. "This particular Held in lifly-two miles In width, and the possibilities of this section sec-tion of your stale are simply great, almost al-most beyond measurement. I want to predict that in time tho state of Utah is going to be one of tho greatest manufacturing manu-facturing states in tho list, for you havo untold quantities of undeveloped coal and Iron, with every side accessory right at hand for enormous activity." |
