Wm H Wild at Brookside mine announces Consolidated Coal Co will invest heavily this summer in upgrades including a new tipple elevator coal bins topworks self dumping cages and a shaker. New Litchfield first motion engines arrive and a new engine house will be built east of the shaft to minimize downtime.

The Brookside mine is expected to operate longer thanks to 400 untapped acres and No 17 mine near Bethel aims for a daily 2000 ton capacity with electric haulage planned.

Brick Works Start Again at Troy Pressed Brick Plant
The Troy Pressed Brick Company resumed operations on Tuesday with full force and the whistle signaling a new season. Output reached 13 000 on the first day, some way from capacity, due to weather and choke-ups but by week’s end runs were smooth at full capacity as two kilns ready to fire. Local demand looks strong this summer with a healthy outlook for the season. A notice about Children’s Hats and Infants Capes at Mrs Hampton’s appears in local advertising.
