The Nor foiK Southern had found before the geologists, that the product of these mines is des.rable for its excellent steaming qualities. .Tust to get at the coal the Carolina company has spent $300,000. After this the money that goes into the mine will be money going after the coal. The greatest difficulty in getting the coal mine started has been met. Very few people in this part of the country have any sort of an intelligent idea of the conditions and processes of coal mining.
