A Chinese coal mine owned by General Chi Hsieh-yuan, member of the Hopel-Chahar Pollical Council, will be purchased by Oriental Development. The Great Wall Coal Mining Com- pany operated the mine which is 18 miles northwest of the Great Wall, until January, 1932, when Japanese and Chinese troops clashed at Shanbaikwan..
