Large Iowa coal deal links to Iowa Central and Minneapolis roads
Des Moines dispatch reports the Hacking Coal Co forming in Iowa with over a million dollars in stock and property to supply coal to Town Central and Minneapolis and St. Louis railroads, backed by the Anonos Concord. The venture controls White Brest Fuel Co properties at Hockington and other facilities near Albia, aiming to shift coal supply from Illinois. The Hocking mine yields about 1,500 tons daily, Hilton mine about 1,200 tons, totaling roughly 4,000 tons daily across the three mines and distributed to the railways. The deal, long sought, hinges on extensive land and equipment transfers, with Iowa Central routing coal via Albia to eastern and western markets. The piece notes the death of veteran railroader Martin and mentions his career with the Iowa Central under Col. L. M. Martin.
