LAMPA COAL MINES
BANDON BREWERY CHANGES HANOS
New Owners Pleased with
Bandon and Coquille
Valley.
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.
