Colonel Aston, very strongly re-
commended by Senator Gordon and

to discuss the situation.

Mr.. n. p. Turner has just returned
from q prospecting tour through
Parker aud Young counties. and has
brought back with him geological
specimens OF great value and curiosity.

and he reports very favorably OF them.
One specimen of bitumlnous coal he
showed our reporter Ia excellent, and
is used In the forge all through that
section. 1t is found In veins from
three to seven feet in thickness, and
crops out OF the ground In profusion
This coal can be marketed and reached
by the extensions Of the Texas and
Pacific and the Texas Central roads,
and will develop the resources Of that
country, while 1t will add greatly to
the prosperity OF Dallas. The question
of cheap fuel for manufacturing pur.
poses is no longer an unsolved one.
His other curiosities consist Of con-
glomerates Of gravel and ore, petrified
wood and other substances but the
greatest of all is petrified oyster shell
and oyster in it. We do not remember
of ever having heard Of such case
before. 1t was found near the summit
of hill, in the vicinity of Weather
ford, and proves conclusively that at
