ing to the owner which runs un
til November 1 of this year.
Vasek has 99 acres lying on
the ridge between Thomas creek
and Bilyeu creek and only a
short distance down the road
from Our Lady of Lourdes Cath
olic church at Jordan. Indica
tions are that the whole ridge
may be coal as It crops out on
both sides of the ridge.
While attempts have been
made in the past several years
to work the field by various in
dividuals, they have been forc
ed to give up the venture for
lack of funds or equipment, or
both. However, it is a known
fact that the vein extends 23
feet down on the Vasek farm as
some of the nwn who have drill
ed there in the past have bored
down to that depth and they
were still going through coal.
The exact depth of the vein Is
unknown.
When an attempt . was made
to drill a water well on the old
Peters farm, about four miles
distant, a 20-foot layer of coal
was encountered at the 70-foot
level. Three or four years ago
when a water well was being
driven on the grounds of the
nearby Catholic church, the
drill struck coal at 100 feet.
Asked about the possibility of
oil in the presence of the coal,
were sent to the Tacoma offices
of a large oil company, but
nothing more has ever been
learned of it. Oil has also been
struck at Lacomb, 10 miles away
from his farm, Vasek said.
Coal with which to heat the
brooder house has been read
ily accessible for Vasek who
said he had even chucked a fair
number of shovels of the coal
into the heating stove when the
weather was more severe. The
farm owner said he didn't know
