A detailed sketch describes the Port Byron coal mine owned by W. A. Durfee and A. B. Adams. Durfee, a former New Yorker now in Illinois since 1838, leads a company employing about 600 workers with 150 tons daily capacity. The mine uses a portable 60 horsepower engine, ventilating with a new 40 foot shaft, and ships coal by barge and team to nearby Sycamore.
