I got it all scanned tonight, here's what I have: The Monarch Coal Company's enterprise at Drane is perhaps the most important movement in coal matters in this region for years for the reason that it has disclosed the possibilities of the "B" seam under water level and opened the way to thousands of acres yet untouched and underlying the unworked sections of immense territory in our vicinity. This Company is a chartered organization and has under lease eight hundred acres of "B" coal and controls over two thousand acres, all of which will come out through a shaft put down at a depth of 130 feet The officers of the Company are Charles Wesley, of Philadelphia, President; Charles Soby, of Philadelphia, Vice President, and Harry M. Hughes, Treasurer and General Manager. The equipment of this mine is a splendid one and enables it to put out 1,500 tons per day when working full time Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
