The coal land around and in Aladdin was surveyed April 13, 1882 - April 22, 1882. There had been 2000 tons of coal mined but none marketed. There were three companies claiming coal land in Township 54. The longest tunnel was 600 feet long, five feet wide and six feet high.

You can still take an interpretive walk around this old Coal Tipple, just a mile from Aladdin General Store.

In an area where the wildlife outnumber the people, hunting is a popular sport.
The Aladdin General Store is a popular stop for travelers on their way to Devils Tower.
