In conversation with T. B. Morris,
Esq, the other day, a Posr-INrELLr-
eExcKR reporter asked him where mar
ket is to be found for all the coal that
will be mined in this portion of the Ter
ritory In the near future. Mr.. Morris
replied:
"Six years ago only four hundred
thousand tons of coal were consumed in
California In twelve months. This year
that State will consume one million
tons. This shows the rate of increase
be one hundred thousand tons per
month. Again, when the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation Company, the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company.
and all the other companies now con-
trolled by Willard, commence using coal
IN all their locomotives, steamboats,,
steamships. offices, etc, they will require
nearly fifteen Thousand tons per month,
and the capacity of the Seattle mine will
have to be crowded to supply this fuel
alone, and thus relieve to q great extent
the surplus coal now shipped to San
Francisco"
well, Mr.. Morris, tell us something
of your
SOUTH PRAIRIE MINE,"
added the reporter.
"We have been working quietly on
our mine till now," said Mr.. Morris,
and have driven our main shaft into
the coal o. thousand feet, and have ten
rooms open. The branch broad gauge
road from the Puyallup road up to our
mine was completed last week, with the
exception of ballastin9, which is now
going ON, and We expect to ship, ON an
average, 100 tons Of coal per day, COM
mencing October LIST. The vein which
We are working is good quality of clean
coal. We think in quality it will equal
anything on the Coast, and the quantity
appears to be almost inexhaustible.
The vein lays in such shape that it can
be easily and economically worked, and
We expect our coal to take leading
place in the California coal market

AS will be seen by notice elsewhere in
these columns, an effort is being made on
the part of our citizens to have new
school house erected in this city. AT the
present time we need a fine, large public
school building worse than anything else.
1t is true that we need many public Inn
provements in order to keep pace with our
neighbors of surrounding counties; but
there is nothing that will give our town
such good name abroad, as fine public
schools, and these can not be had until a
suitable building is erected for that pur-
pose, and no other. Let us by all means
erect large, two story brick school build
ing, with modern improvements, and we
will never regret having spent our money
and labor for such purpose.
