He Found Coal.
Col. Josiah Evans, of Paris, Mo., is in the city. The colonel is the man on whose farm coal, in paying quantities, was recently discorered (discovered), and he is now making preparations to develop the mineral wealth beneath his ground. The vein is seven feet thick and at the point where it was found it was only a few feet below the surface. This is in a valley between two hills situated only a few miles from Paris, and the indications are that the vein is very extensive. The colonel owns or controls four or five hundred acres of land, and there is probably a large fortune in his find. He declined to say what brought him to Quincy, but it is suspected that he is here to meet some of our people interested in the coal business with a view to establishing business relations or perhaps organizing a company with Quincy capital to open and operate his mine. Col. Evans is a pushing, energetic man, and his business ability is vouched for by those who are acquainted with him. The opening of this mine will be a benefit to Quincy, and we are glad that Col. Evans looks upon this city as a good market.
