New Troy Coal Mine Plan Aimed at Local Ownership
A movement seeks to sink another coal mine near Troy owned by citizens. A stock company with a $10,000 capital plans 100 shares at $100 each, with J W Garnet and John Ruff selling $6,000 of stock in one day. The project, between Troy and Formosa, aims to boost employment and local commerce, prompting calls for a Business Men's Association to aid Troy's growth amid rising political tension and national war talk.

Edwardsville editor elected president of state press association
Cuas Boeschenstein of the Edwardsville Intelligencer has been chosen President of the State Press Association meeting in Springfield. The honor is seen as well deserved and a credit to the association. The sparrow bounty law expired February 28, and a fine will replace the bounty. A repeal effort is planned for the next legislative session due to objections. The Bunker Hill News begins semi weekly publication March 1, issuing Tuesdays and Saturdays. We hope to see Bro Heinrich's effort rewarded.
