Of that sum, $30,000 went in payment of Sthe purchase of the patented coa lands of Harkrader estate and to purchase a lease held on 2,560 acr»s ,of coal bearing land adjoining the ! patented acreage.

Funds For Debts The company, Mr. Roden added, has sufficient capital to meet all of its current indebtedness but it needs additional funds to go ahead with its operations program. It irequires finances to put the prop- erty into workable shape and for equipment, He declared it could sell today for sufficient money to repay the stockholders in full for their investment and give them interest on it. Mr. Reck amplified Mr. Roden’s statement slightly. He said eight men could produce 50 tons daily. The additional funds required, he sald, were for the following pur- poses: Constructing an air shaft without which no mining was per- mitted by law, $5000; a new dock, $5,000; and to put running water {in the workings, $2,000.
