= The Eldorsdo Coal Discovery.


The announcement made last week upon
our streets Of the discovery of three-foot vein
OF coal in the vicinity of Eldorado, created no
little excitement and talk The question OF
cheap fuel 10 of the utmost Importance to
every one in the country and town. Its sup
| ply causes a continual drain upon our re-
sources. We pay out more money annually
tor fuel than the entire amount OF taxes for all
purposes. II this money was paid to our
own people there would be some comfort IN
! the transaction, but it goes 10 enrich the peo-
Pile Of other couaties and even other States
Understanding these facts. We last FRIDAY
drove over TO Eldersdo TO ascertain, if posi-
BILE. the truth or falsity OF the rumor, know
ing full well If tbree-foot vein of coal exist
ed within twenty five miles of our town that
undoubtedly the same vein would be found
| at some depth, greater or less, in this valley
and even if it did not that shipping coal
from three foot vein thirty miles distant
would be vastly cheaper than shipping it 135
miles, as we are compelled TO do now, from
two-foot VEN. Upon our arrival we found
shat joInt-stock company had SUNK q drill,
through solid limestone ledge. Early last
week the walking-besm, to which the drill
was attached, was broken, just ss the point
had reached softer deposit. The company
were boring, or drilling for oil, and not for
coal. The main drill was withdrawn, the
hole cleaned out and a small hand drill, at
tached to rod of iron, was then put down
as,l al fav .nI no
pump again put down, when,to the surprise(?)
of the workmen, several hsndfulls of hard
tine coal was lifted out. OF course the excite
ment was great, as another test seemed to
prove the existence Of Al least a three-foot
vein Of black diamonds. We examined the
coal and found il unlike any in our markets,
If we except the Red River coal, but we must
eouIess to misgiving, In truth, we don't
believe the discovery to be an honest or gen.
uine one, and do believe it put-up job.
However, we shall no doubt know in short
time. Ii the coal actually exists,as indicated.
The entire people ofihis country will have
reason TO rejoice.
Eldorsdo has improved greatly since our
last visit. The complete of her railroad
has not only put new life into the place, but
lent to the faces and bearing of her people
that undesirable air that means prospects,
you know - and ''old business - Ederado
Is no longer 1.-THE country village" but ''tne
tewn." Business houses and residences are
going up upon every hand and her streets
Saturday were literally a jam OF people and
teams. The railroad company have put up

mill and water tank, turn table and two
extensive side tracks. In fact, Eldorado, in
