Show EMERY COUNTY COAL RESOURCES RE-SOURCES INEXHAUSTIBLE Of all the counties of this fair state, Emery stands foremost in the ranks of toal production. The veins are as large and clean as any that can be found any where, and can be mined very easily. At Mohrland the work has been accomplished accom-plished without the use of any timber. Walter C. Orem, treasurer of the Castle Valley Coal company, visited the mine at Mohrland last week and had the following to say to his friends when he returned to Salt Lake City: 'In the Castle Valley property we are working on the cleanest and finest coal vein that was ever opened anywhere. This vein has been developed for several thousand feet and it maintains its strength without a deviation. This vein is averaging twenty -five feet in thickness. thick-ness. Some of our rooms are twenty-four twenty-four feet wide and rooms are twenty-five twenty-five feet in height, yet we have not had to use a single stick of timber in all this work. And owing to the position of the vein we are called upon to do absolutely abso-lutely no pumping whatever. v "The company owns 4000 acres of coal- bearing territory and this vein now being be-ing opened is one out of the four of 'similar character crossing our property. The company intends to increase its development de-velopment work in a material way from - now on, which means by fall our daily production will be 1500 tons of coal, the . present output being 400 tons. We have had to pass through the usual period of development and equipment, and everything now is in splendid condition. con-dition. We have our own railroad and there are installed complete and modern tramways and tipple equipments, while the machinery in the mine is the most modern money can buy."
