Coal Vein Found Near Spencer Butte Mine
The Spencer Butte Coal and Petroleum Company reports a coal vein encountered southwest of the city at about the depth reached by the drill. The vein is of good depth and the coal surface samples are of fair quality. Officers and stockholders celebrate and push development with new machinery ordered from a Portland firm. A larger body of harder coal is expected soon, signaling promising prospects for Eugene and vicinity. R. W. Veatch and family visited from Cottage Grove and plan to move to Eugene.
