Deep coal vein found near Miller in Hyde county
William Deuel drilled an artesian well on the Martin Moore ranch about twenty five miles northwest of Miller, South Dakota and unearthed an eight foot coal seam of peak quality like the Hocking Valley coal. The coal lies 1800 feet underground in chalkstone beneath artesian water with no nearby surface coal known. The extent is uncertain but may cover a large area, contrasting with a shallower poorer vein found in the early eighties. Gas from wells nearby bolsters the theory of a coal under this region.
