Atchison Coal Mine Sale Talks Open Venture Plan
George Guerrier arrived in Atchison and offered a bold plan to revive the old Atchison coal mine. He argued management fault cost profits, proposed private operation with bonds or royalty buyout, and estimated startup needs of 40 000 to 50 000 dollars with potential full operation in two months. The idea centers on private control, city support, and favorable purchase terms.
