Sparland Coal Mines Under New Management in Marshall County
The Marquette Third Wain Coal Company with mines at Sparland and Boarland employs J. S. Wylis Davenport resident and treasurer and Charles J. Devlin Topeka vice president and manager. The Sparland mine, sunk in 1889, has been revamped at a cost over $10,000 and now uses modern surface plant to boost output. The mine employs about 60 men with daily production around 65 tons, projected to rise to 100 miners and 800 tons daily by fall, boosting local employment and area prominence in coal production.
