The SIrer State learns from John
Fitzgerald, who il engaged in tean,ing
between Winnemucca and Silver City,
that "A four foot vein OF coal has been
discovered in the hills between Canyon
Creek and Paradise Valley, at a point
about twenty miles from the head o.
the valley. The d~iscoverer of this i'm
portdnt find was engaged in choppiDs
wood for the post at Camp McD.rmit,
when he accidentally discovered the
coal groupings. He bnilt n cabin near
the mine, and, being impecunious.
started for Silver City, where he for
merly mined, with u view of getting
money to help develop the mine.
While on his way to Idaho he Travelled
with Fitzgerald, whom he informed
that he had tried the coal and that 1t
burned freely. We have frequently
heard il stated that coal beds existed
north of Paradise Valley, and that men
who had been herding sheep in the
vicinity used it tor fuel on several
occasions. 1t is well known by those
who have travelled over that part of the
country that forests existed there AT
one time, as the ground in many places
is covered with petrified wood, numer.
Gus specimens Of which have been
brought 10 town.
About 10 o'clock last Sunday morn
ing Il deplurab,e accident occurred vt
the mouth OF the Sutro Tunnel. While
II, l.. Foreman ,time-keeper at the tun.
mel, was engaged in boxing up some
exploders which had been condemned
az unfit for use, some three hundred
of them exploded, tearing TO fragments
the structure in which they were and
very seriously, II no MORALLY wound
ing Mr.. Foreman. His right arm was
laid bare to the bone, his face burned
to a crisp, his right eye damaged be-
yond recovery, and his entire right
side so badly torn and mangled that
even should the injuries received not
prove fatal, he must forever lose the
use of his right side.

A Worlds Washington special says:
The Judiciary Committee of the House

Union and of course entitled to repre-.
sentation on the basis of the vote can

Attorney General w. A.. Coke, a
member OF the Canvassing Board. pro-
tested against The action of the board
in certifying to the majority of votes in
favor of the Hayes Electors, and de-
nounced the same AS criminal and a
gross Justification of returns on file in
the office of The Secretary of State. He
also gave certificates of election to the
Tilden Electors, stating therein that the
returns on file canvassed by the board
showed a clear majority for the Tilden
and Hendricks Electors.
The Democratic Electors met at the
Capitol, in the office of the Attorney
General and EAST the vote Of the State

THE OREGON MATTER.

Inc only eHect VI tH6 dCtioH VI WV
ernor Grover in refusing a certificate OF
election to Watts, the Republican Post
master Elector, and giving n instead
to Cronin, the highest Democratic can
didate, will be to place the supporters
of Tilden in Congress upon the defen-
sive and to throw the burden of proof
upon the supporters of Mr.. Hayes.
We make this assertion upon the sup
position that even if the returns had
shown q majority of one for the Re-
publican candidates instead of Tilden
and Hendricks, that former precedents
would have been observed aud the en-
tire business in relation to the elec-
tons in South Carolina, Louisiana and
Florida been subject to investigation
by Congress before the final result was
announced. While we do not believe
under the circumstances that the Pres
ident of the Senate would, in either
event, so far outrage the public senti.
ment of the nation as to render an ar
bitrary decision declaratory Of an
election without permitting an investi-
CATION, the action in Oregon renders
it impossible tor him to do so, unless
it be in favor Of the candidates in OPP
position to his political party, which it
is not expected or desired that he will
do by any right thinking supporter of
Tilden and Hendricks. Gov. Grover
doubtless followed the strict letter OF
thelaw, but we are free to admit that
he probably would have given it n
broader and more liberal construction
II the circumstances had been differ
emit. We are confident that Mr.. Tilden
would not accept the presidency if his
election turned upon such a technical
ity as that which defeated the Repub-
lican Elector in Oregon, and if it
proves upon investigation that the re-
turns from the three Southern States
above mentioned are in accordance
with the expressed sentiment OF the
people at the ballot-box, and is so de-
cided by those whose duty it is to ar
bitrate the matter, we will wager our
existence that the contest will be
pressed no further; that Mr.. Tilden
aud his supporters will waive the Or
egon point aud gracefully submit to
the will Of the people. No candidate
for the presidency could afford to ac-
cept the position for which he was in
debted 10 n mere technical point. All
that is asked or desired by the right
thinking people of the country is that
a full investigation be had in those
States where it is charged that the re.
turns do not represent the legally ex-
pressed sentiments of the voters, and
a verdict rendered accordingly. If this
is effected through the action of the
Webfoot Governor, he is entitled to the
gratitude of the people Of the nation;
but no one with the honor of his
country at heart would desire to SET
his candidate elected by the vote of an
Elector not the choice of Il majority of
the people OF his State.
