How to Burn Coal.

A very common mistake is made,
and much fuel wasted, in the manner
of replenishing coal fires both in fur
naces and CRATES They should be ted
with a little coal at time, and often;
but servants to save time and trouble,
put on a great deal at once, the first
result being that almost all the heat
is absorbed by the newly put-on coal,
which does not give out heat until it
has itself become red-hot. Hence, for
a while, the room is too cold; but
when it becomes fairly aglow, the heat
is insutierable.
The time to replenish a coal fire is
as soon as the Goals begin to show ash
es on their surface; then put on near
ly enough to show layer of black
coal covering the red. This will soon
kindle, as there is not much Of it, an
an excess of heat will not be given out.
Many almost put out the fire by fill
ling the CRATE as soon as fresh coal Is
put on, thus leaving all the heat In the
ashes, when it should be sent to the
new supply of Goals. The time to
"stir the fire is just when the newly
laid coalis pretty well kindled. This
method Of managing a coal fire Is
troublesome y but it saves fuel, gives
more uniform heat, and prevents the
discomfort of alterations Of heat and
-cold above referred to.-HaMs Jo'unal
Of Health.
THE Coal AREA.-The coal area
of the United States is asserted to be
sectioned off in square miles about as
follows: Illinois, Largest OF ALL &c.
600; Missouri Basin, 26,SS7 Iowa,
$4,000; Kansas, 1900; West Vir-
ginia section, 10000; Ohio section,
10000; East Kentucky section, g.
9S3; Pennsylvania section, 1882
Pennsylvania anthracite, 472, New
England Basin, 500; Maryland sec
ton, $50, Tennessee, 800; Alabama,
$3.50; Indiana, GAO; West Ken
lucky, 1888; Texas, 4,500; Michi-
gan, Basin 6,700; Nebraska, 5000;
Arkansas, 9,043; Virginia, 1856, and
North Carolina, 80. The great bulk
of the general coal deposit is the com
mon soft OF bituminous coal, the ex-
ception being the semi-bituminous,
the anthracite, and the camel coal
found largely in the Kanawha coal
fields of West Virginia.

Horse Thief Capturcd.-Last Sunday
night ms Mr.. David NJ Morse, son Of the
late Henry NJ. Morse and his brother-in-law,
Thomas Ferguson, we're returning home
from visit to friends beyond Stony
Ridge, they passed at the township line
Of Troy and Perrysburg, man driving a
team at lively gait, with n colt hitohed
behind his carriage. Mr.. Morse thought
he recognized the colt as being one that
belonged to his fathers estate, aud turned
his team, overlook the man, stopped him,
examined the colt and it proved to be ns
he had supposed the property OF the estate.
Tue man gave his name as Bauer, said
that he paid $40 for the animal, but rather
than have any trouble he would give
up the horse and lose the mon
ey. The story was rather too thin
and Morse and Ferguson secured
and took him TO the Empire House, where
he remained until the next morning when
he had hearing before Squire McCutch-
en- who bound him over to Common Pleas
Court. A seven-shooter and dangerous
looking knife were found upon his person.

A Bold Thi'f.-On Thursday evening
of last week a jew, who failed to register
his name, stopped at the Exchange Hotel
in this place, and secured a room to open
some boxes Of dry goods, which he expect
ed up from Toledo on Friday morning.
He informed the l,ndlorl that he had sold
the gooIs to Mr.. S. REIss, of this place.
The boxes lid not arrive until Saturday
morning, when the goods were taken there
from AMI delivered to Mr. REIss, for
which the stranger received about $3.50.
lie paid the landlord his BOARD bill in
goods, and Just after dinner secured Pri-
vate conveyance to take him to South To-
ledo. Since then nothing has been heard
of him.
On Tuesday last member Of the firm
Of LUCE, CHAPIS & BLAss, Toledo, made
his appearance here in search of the goods,
II was then ascertained that the goods had
been purchased Of the above firm by ]. f.
CLARKE & Co, OF Weston, aud whoU the
boxes were being marked TO that address a
stranger stepped in and requested that the
address be changed to Perrysburg instead
Of Weston. Supposlng that all was right
the address was changed to Perrysburg
and the goods disposed Of as above stated
The goods were identified and recovered
leaving Mr.. REIss about $3.50 short, and
Mr.. NORTON minus the thiefs board bill
This is one Of the coolest tricks on record

Steps Ahead.

"The Arizona and New Mexico Express Company" is to be a substantial institu- ton. By reference to our San Diego dis patch. of last Monday, it will be seen that the son of Mir. Henry Wells, is to very soon pass over the line and perfect ar engagements to commence business, and that the best of facilities are to be afforded Tor the transmission of bullion and other articles. Mir. Wells has rightly estimated the. riches of Arizona-notwithstan the slanderouS New York Tribune and eX- Senator Hagar
 The people out this way haze long de- sired reliable express facilities, and at no time have they been so much in need thereof as BOW. AS to banking, they have cared less, but when a bank once opens and gets fairly in operation, most every body will wonder how we got along so many years without one.
 The fact that so successful man as MT, Wells, the founder of Wells, Fargo & Co.,, is the leading man in this express and banking business, is significant of the inn proved standing our Territory has abroad over that of Q few years ago, when our people petltlOned Wells, Fargo & Co. to extend their business to Tucson, but with out effect. The chances are that Messrs. kerens & Mitchell will soon be obliged to increase the carrying capacity of their stages, for the passenger traffic has largely increased of late, and there is every indi- cation of steady increase hereafter. This with mails and express matter growing in bulk, will require larger stages,
 Looking at every interest as far as de- veloped, and the real bases of our perma- nent prosperity, there Is about all the en. couragement for our people that they could reasonably desire. The difference in feeling, In labor, and in development now and one year ago, is immense. Let any well posted resident then and now, make a true comparison and the conclu- sion can only be very satisfactory.

Yuma School Affairs.
From The Sentinel of last Saturday

From The Sentinel of last Saturday:
 To the editor of The Arizona Sentinel: :: The undersigned, school trustees of Dis trict No. l, wish to publicly thank the citizens of Yuma. who have so literally contributed to the school fund.- and we ask that you publish the list of those who subscribed and the amounts. E. II. Goodwin, Isaac Polhamus, jr., c. Baine. Being crowded this week, we will pub fish the names and amount paid by each next week. In noticing the above record, we can only say that we are prouder of it than if we had built hundred miles of railroad. Taking into consideration that our community is poor, in fact everyone pushed, it shows the right spirit we give to the support of our school. Though we want, and arc hard pushed for means, yet the education of our children shall not be neglected. This is what it says. Let it go forth that Yuma, (hard name as 1t has, and population scarce), in three hours subscribed and paid for the support of her public school the sum ot 401 dol lars. Comment is unnecessary.
 u has been determined by the trustees and friends of our public school, to'give grand picnic and steamboat excursion on the 1st of May, for the double purpose of giving the school children pleasant time and raising funds in aid of said school. Capt. POlhamus, superintendent of c. s. N. Co.,, will allow one Ofthe steam CTS to make the excursion merely for the actual cost to the Company of running her. All the children attending the pub- lie school will, of course, be free. A pleas ant grove will beselected, and the ground cleared of where it is proposed to have a "basket picnic"
