the result:

A New Coal Field.

A party of miners who have been
out in the Walker river country work
ing on a small silver ledge, which
they thought would develop into
something better when depth was at
tanned, have made discovery of vast
importance, if all VIC hear is true
coal OF good quality and extensive
in deposit. j. s. Hardwick, Eli
johnson, Joe Stanley, Eugene Gal
ligher and VIM. Medley, all of Vir-
ginia City, are the fortunate miners,
aud their find is more valuable than
a gold or silver mine. We are in
formed by one of the party that the
new coal mine is located five or six
miles begond Wellington, and within
two or three miles of railroad sur
vey. The deposit lies in sandstone
and shows in the face of their tunnel
four feet of solid coal, on top of
which are few inches of sandstone,
and then there are about four feet of
coal and clay mixed. 1t is thought
the whole will develop into a solid
body of splendid coal when the tun-
mel is run further in, but of course
this remains to he seen. The coal
has already been tested in Virginia
and pronounced superior to the Rocky
Mountain coal.
If good fuel, in abundance, proves
the result of this discovery, it will
be great advantage to the mining
industry of Esmeralda county, in
parts of which timber is scarce even
now and in few years wood for fuel
will have to be hauled great distances.
The extension of railroads to the
southwark will also soon make this
coal supply available for use on the
Comstock.
