'''MINE FOR COAL NEAR REARDAN'''
----
'''Runyon and Pershal Expect to
Have Product on Bank by Early Fall.'''
----
Development of coal measures was
begun this week by M. D. Runyon
and Charles Pershal on a 160-acre
area one and a half miles northeast of
Little Falls, 14 miles north of
Reardan and 33 miles from Spokane.
The number of men at work, which is
three,will be increased. An operator
of long experience, Mr. Runyon expects
to have coal out for market in
three or four months.

The coal is a semi-bituminous of
good fuel quality, he said yesterday.
Development is being centered on measures
Nos. 2 and 3. No. 2 is four feet wide.
The width of No. 3 will be determined when
development is advanced. The pitch is
27 degrees.

There is a home market in the Big
Bend country, said Mr. Runyon. The
farmers will pay $6 a ton at the bank
and haul it away. The employment of
150 men before snow flys is an expectation
of the operators.
