Local coal vein eyed near Guyerville revival described

Neighbors report a revived mining effort at the old Guyerville area after H B Austin arranged reopening of a former mine. The Davis brothers worked two to three weeks clearing mouth debris and repairing timbers with a four foot thick vein praised as the best seen. If expectations hold, a company may form to develop the coal bearing hills and revive the abandoned workings.
