Coal Fields Examined By Prof Wm P Blake
Prof Wm P Blake returns from examining coal measures in Deer Creek for Col George B Chittenden. He notes high quality coal suitable for boilers and gas and a three foot vein mined for the Saddle Mountain Chittenden reduction plant ten miles away. A Gila River railway line will run within eight miles, aiding fuel access. The Saddle Mountain company employs 300 men and a fine matte is sent to the Humboldt smelter. Blake predicts the district will become a major mining center.
