Mining Coal At Calvert.
-----
Calvert, Texas, September
17,--The Brown coal mines, located within a few miles of this city, which are
being operated and managed by the Southwestern Fuel and Manufacturing company,
with headquarters at Fort Worth, are now getting out the coal at a rapid rate of
eighty tons per day. The contracts for coal are being made and the output
of the mine is increasing. The company is securing more labor for the work
of the mines and constantly enlarging its business.
The company has been furnish(ing) coal to
Navasota, Bryan, Marlin and Somerville and there is much demand for it, and just
as soon as as soon (sic) sufficient labor can be procured it will be an
undertaking of great importance, the possiblities of which it is difficult to
estimate. Mr. Mayer, the energetic superintendent and manager, is pushing
it with much activity and the enterprise is steadily moving forward.
