Ardmore, South Dakota:
Residents of Fall River county
South Dakota, are greatly excited
over the striking of a good vein of
coal at a depth of only ten feet from
the surface of the ground at a point
near Ardmore. The coal vein was
struck by the drill used by an oil
company in sinking a test oil well
It is believed the vein is at least 12
feet thick. Work has started on a
shaft, which will be sunk to the hot
torn of the vein, so that Its full ex
tent can be determined. It has been
impossible yet to ascertain the qual
ity of the coal. The place where the
vein of coal was struck is only about
a tulle from a railroad, so it will be
easy to market the coal if it is found
to be In paying quantities. The dis
covery may prove the solution of the
coal problem for all the residents of
Fall River county.
