Fort Worth Gazette - April 15, 1891Terrell, Since 5 o'clock much excitement prevails over the fact of the coal find at the asylum artesian well. A. Ferrell and John McGraw, having examined the samples of the coal, pronounced it equal to the Piedmont and other mines. The coal is found in a vein twelve feet thick, 2000 feet under the surface. If these are facts, then Terrell has a corner on future prospects. The people are much agitated over the fact, which beats a gold mine. |
