The Union Coal Company financed by W. P. Calloway, H. W. Downey. and J. B. Fears of Nacogdoches County obtained a number of mineral leases beginning in February, 1896. The leases were all similar and would all pay two cents per ton of coal that goes over a one and one-half inch grate. On April 10, 1896, the company owners sold one-fourth interest in the company to Percy Allen for five hundred dollars and transferred operating responsibility to Percy Allen. The company, under a Louisiana Charter, had its office and place of business in Houston, with Sam Allen as President, Percy Allen as Secretary, and H. W. Downey as Treasurer. The Union Coal Company renamed the East Texas Coal Company then sold all its privileges, franchises, equipment, shafts, and all property which was completely free from debt to Emmettee A. Ellis of Fort Bend County, Texas, on January 8, 1897, for $2500. This mine started production in 1900 and ran until 1902 when the Spindletop Oil Field came in near Beaumont forcing both mines at Garrison to close. During this time, the East Texas Coal Company produced a splendid quality of lignite coal which was used successfully on stationary engines and railroads. The East Texas Coal Company had two shafts which were nbout fifty-four feet deep and had an average thickness of at least five feet of lignite."
