Bandon and the Coquille Valley have in a way been handicapped in having their opportunities developed. Local capital has been invested to full extent and a great deal is ex pected of outside capital that is willing to come here. An oppor tunity which has lain idle for years, is the Lampa Coal mines. Here is a solid mountain of coal within two hundred and fifty feet of deep water, where any vessel that can come in over the bar can load at the bunkers. The tunnels are in the mine at such a height ,is to do all the loading and filling of bunkers by gravity, the loaded cars pulling up the empties. The railroad survey passes between the mouth of the coal mine and the water’s edge, making this the only place in the world, known, to have both railroad and water transportation at the mines’ mouth. Such is one of th'e oppor tunities that have ndt been taken until this week. We have others. Messrs Tom Jones, of Hornbrook, Cal., and R. A. Campbell, of Edge wood, Cal., with J. O'Neil of this place have thoroughly investigated the matter and this week closed a deal, which in time will be consider ed one of the most important in the County. A company of eight will be formed and incorporated, part of w hich has already been secured, and as there are a number of applicants, they will have no difficulty in securing the balance. Those now interested besides the three gentle men above named, are, E. I) McAr thur of Marshfield, E. B. Cavanaugh and Chas. Osborne, both of Edge wood, Cal. • To date four veins have been opened in this huge mountain of coal, seventeen feet, seven feet, four feet ami three feet in thickness. The supply is almost incomprehen sible. The demand is greatly in creased since so many vessels and locomotives are burning oil. Fuel oil that was bought for 50 cents a barrel a few months ago, now costs $1.10. Many engines are being re converted into coal burners. They have to look to Coos County for their supply of coal to a certain ex tend, ami the Coquille V alley can furnish a large amount. Messrs Jones ami Campbell have also purchased the Bandon Brewery property from Geo. Gehrig, and will have an experienced brewer, graduate from a school of brewing, take charge of the plant. Modern machinery will be installed through out, and a soda works w ill be put in very shortly. The deal between Gehrig, O’Neil and Bowman did not materialize and Mr. Gehrig re purchased the plant from them. Here is a sample of w hat outside capital can do for us if they only knew what we had to offer' These gentlemen secured from us a few of the limited number of books that were finished for the Bandon De velopment Association, and hander! us a bouquet by expressing their opinions favorably on both the work and the manner in which they were arranged. They also stated if a number had been sent to their ¡»art of the country, we s-hould have had favorable results long before this.
