The La Cygne Weekly Journal Linn County Saturday November 13, 1880 The coal taken from the La Cygne shaft is proving to be in great demand. It burns nicely, making an excellent fire and leaving no clinkers. Messrs. MORLEY & Son, proprietors of the shaft, have thus far been unable to secure as many minors as they would like to employ. While this fact is not calculated to be entirely satisfactory to them, it nevertheless speaks well of the prosperity of this portion of the country, where no one willing and unable to work, need remain idle.
