Ind., Aug. 21 —(Rumors of the renewed activity in coal mining in this vicinity have caused a favoraid,' stir. The Vandalia Coal Company is reported to be figuring on ' acquiring mines and much coal ter- ! ritory. The Sunflower Coal company said to have given the Vandalia 1 an option on one mine and also on all ;ci the coal territory it owns- The Sm.l ower company owns the best mine and the richest coal land in this I part of Indiana. A d- sire to centralize its interests | is l lieved to be the reason for the ’ Vandalia's activity. It already owns traits in snot: around here. Vandalia switches are convenient' to the new developments. With only a I short exteition the Vandalia company can run its switch to the Sun- ; Hower mine, and by branching out i the entire field can be tapped. The .Vpnon Coal Company will sink ! a new mite' this Fall. For a long time there have been rumors that the Monon company contemplated extenj sive operations in the filed southwest i of here.
