Big Coal Field Block Under Option Near Mine Flats
A Green township tract of about 6 000 acres near Pine Flats is under option with Philadelphia capitalists led by Elmer E. Davis. The Learn coal area is included, linked to a past legal dispute decided in favor of the Learns. Options run to May 1 with $50 to $70 per acre, and a 2,000 acre segment at $70. Six diamond drills search a basin to prepare for shafting, aiming to consolidate nearly all unsold coal in Green township. If not sold by May 1, landowners receive $5 per acre credit toward future purchase.
