Mr. Weaver thought that Sou

game of the season by far. “Lex
ington was' strong,” Mr. Weaver
said. “If anything, stronger than
they were last year. All their
running plays were a power at

Coal Mine
(Continued from Page 1)
open an unused coal mine in a
month or two.”
The State Department of Con
servation and Development esti
mates that there are 46,000,000
tons of coal available in the Deep
River field. It is believed that
there is an ample supply of lo
cal labor to take care of the pre
liminary work to be done at the
mine when the go-ahead order
is received.
Several reuests for jobs from
miners in western North Caro
lina and elsewhere have been re
ceived, some of whom formerly
worked in the Deep River field.
The workers are not members of
the United Mine workers or any
other union and, therefore, will
not be affected by the current
nationwide walkout.
Once the mine is readied for
efficient operation following the
several months of preparation
necessary, production is expect
ed to rise to a daily goal of 500
to 600 tons.
In addition to the Deep River
coal field. North Carolina has
two other possible sources of
coal, the Dan River field in
Stokes county and the Madison
county field about three miles
from Hot Springs. Both of them
hajye extremely low grade coal
which would be expensive to
mine, it is said.
