Control of the Sunrise
Mining Company
Colonel Mundy, the representative of
the Sunrise Mining company of Chica
go, who are endeavoring to obtain con
trol of the coal mine near this city,
left Monday evening for Kansas City
to lay before his people a new propo
sition, which has grown nut of n it agree
ment reached between him and Ihe Pa
cifie Coal company of Los Angeles, who
at present control the mine. The rep
resentativcH of the Pacific Coal com
pany also left the city, going to Los
Angeles to place the new agreement
before their company.
For some weeks the coal mine has
been a bone of contention between the
representatives of the two companies.
The Pacific Coal company were under
emit ract to deliver the mine, but
through some hitch in the negotiations
no agreement could be reached,
Thet nature of the present agree
ment has not been made public, but it
is understood that if the agreement
reached by the representatives of the
two companies is agreeable to the com
panies, then the Sunrise Mining com
pany will have secured control of the
mine.
An early settlement mi that basis
would undoubtedly prove of material
advantage to Medford, inasmuch as the
Sunrise people plan to start operations
upon a large scale, putting a targe force
of men at work. Colonel Mundy ex
pects to be absent some two weeks.
