a Valuable Coal Mine.

An immense mine of coal has been
discovered in Uintah County, Wyo-
ming, near Carter Station, on the
Union Pacific. It was discovered by
Mr.. Crocker, of Logan, from informa-
ton he received from an old Indian,
who showed him piece of fine look
ing coal which he found while hunt g
He offered to show Mr.. Crocker the
place if he would give him ten dollars
which offer was readily accepted. The
Indian then took him about fifty miles
from the mine, which Mr.. Crocker
found by tracing the vein the Indian
pointed out to him. The mine is ia a
sandstone mountain, about four and
half miles long, running north and
south, facing east, and about three
miles and a quarter across, the noun
tain dipping suddenly at each end.
There are sixteen veins of coal in sig ht.
The bottom one is the smallest, being
five feet; the next is the largest and
most easy of access, and is upward of
seventy feet thick; the next above is
sixty feet, another of forty feet, anoth
er of about thirty feet, FIVE of about
twenty feet each. and five of sixteen
feet each. The last one IS about twelve
altogether about four hundred feet
of focal four and a half miles long; in
fact, it may be correctly termed
mountain of coal The veins lie at
an angle Of twenty-five degrees, with
ledges of white sandstone intervening.
The GOALS very bright, is perfectly
free from slate or dirt, and is said to
be camel coal. A small quantity of
the Groupings from the seventy-foot
vein has been tested for coke by an
assayer, who states that it yields coke
R52. 2 pei. cent. When tits considered
that very large quantities of coke are
shipped from Pennsylvania to Utah
and Nevada, distance of two thous-
and miles, at a cost OF thirty five TO
forty dollars per ton, for the purpose
/ Of smelling silver ores, it WilIat once
| be seen of what immense value this
mine is likely to prove to the owners
| of low grade silver mines. But wheth-
er the coal will coke or not, it is an ex-
cellent steam coal. One engineer who
has used it says that one bushel of it
will make as much steam as three
bushels of ordinary coal, leaving less
ashes than any coal he ever burned.
Professor Pontez, geologjst to the
Central Pacific Railroad, has made an
investigation of the mine, and reports
it as the finest deposit of coal in West
ern America San Francisco Chroni-

A very Interesting case, we under
stand, is presently to come up in the
United States District Court It in
wolves the title to the lands devised
by Governor Macarthur forty odd years
ago. By the will his children were
given life interest to the estate, but
it was to pass 10 and be equally divid-
ed among his grand children when the
youngest Of them should come of age
The children were dissatisfied, and the
eldest son filed petition in the Com
mon Pleas of Ross County to set aside
the will, on the ground that at the time
of its deVising Governor McArthur
was Of unsound mind. The other
| children, but not the grandchildren,
were made co defendants, and they
came into Court and admitted all that
was set forth in the petition. There
upon decree was entered, and the es :
tate partitioned among the children.
This happened in 1889. In March last
the last of the grandchildren came of
age, and the Suits now to be brought
to recover the lands to which they
claim title by the will of their grand
father,

The Paris correspondent of the
London Standard writes as follows
'fAmong our latest arrivals in Paris
are two persons who deserve to be
mentioned as something quite out of
the run of ordinary visitors to the
French. capital They are both Cen
.tennarians, and what is arer, they are
husband and wife Their names are
Monsieur and Madame Ballue The
man is said to be 10 years of age,
and the woman 105 years. They live
in the South, and have come to Paris
by cheap excursion train. Monsieur
Ballue is an old soldier of the first
Empire, and while visiting the ruins
of the Tulleries delighted his wife by
pointing out to her the spot where he
mounted guard under the Consulate of
Bonaparte. Both these courageous
centennarians enjoy excellent health.
Their eyesight is good, their memo ry
almost unfailing, and their legs as
strong as can be expected under such
heavy weight of time

A Big Vote and a
Lively Fight!
"Rise Up William" Gone where
The Woodbine Twineth,
"Fruit Hill"

The vote in this County on Tuesday
was the largest ever polled The peo-
pie were thoroughly worked up, and
the weather being fine aided consider
ably in bringing out full vote In
this Township the number of votes
polled was over 200 larger than ever
before.
We scarcely remember campaign
where the Democracy have worked as
hard, been as thoroughly organized,
and as confident of success as in the
one just closed, They worked untir
ingly, and left nothing undone, fair or
unfair, to injure their opponents, and
had high hopes of at least succeeding
in defeating some of the candidates on
the county ticket, and bet their money
freely on the result.
Both partes worked nara all oay
long at the polls, and there was live
ly fight. Everything passed off qui-
city, however, and without any dis,
turbances.. The result is highly sat
isfactory to the Republicans, and
shows that Fayette County is emphat-
ically in favor of honest money and
free schools, and down on Bill Allen
and Sam Cary bIatherskitism.
The majority on the State ticket
was 378, and The entire county ticket
was elected by majorities ranging
from so to near 500.
