BAXTER COIL MINE MAY
SOON STURT OPERATION;
'DAD' EN ROUTE SOUTH
Prospects appear propitious for re
opening and operating the Baxter
coal mines, located on the Moose
Creek coal spur four miles above
Moose Creek Station as a result of
a trip being made by Henry VV.
(Dad) Baxter to San Francisco, and
who sailed south on the S. S. Victoria,
ia.
It is understood that management
of the mine now is entirely under the
direction of Mr. Baxter, and it is be
lieved his present trip Outside ihas
to do with resumption of operations.
The Baxter mine was the first to
be developed in the Moose Creek
region, and carries large seams of
high-grade bituminous coal. It was
worked for several seasons, under
the management of E. L. Bedell, and
then closed down for reasons known
only to the company.
It has been Mr. Baxter’s ambition
to get the mine going, and now that
he has a free hand it is expected he
will succeed in his undertaking. His
itinerary includes a visit to Portland,
Ore., thence to San Francisco.

Marce, Signal Corps, U. S. A., was
