at is true that facetious heavy

land it is equally untrue that any upper
berths ever break down. A well known
New York journalist, who tips the
beam at. three hundred pounds--sup-
pose you know him-can be credited
with being the originator of the yarn.
He loves joke, and as he is known to
almost every palace car porter in the
country, manages to carry out the sell
very successfully whenever necessary.
In case the gentleman reaches the train
late and finds the lower berths occupied
he hunts around until he finds nervous
traveller In a place where he would like
to be himself. Then he calls the colored
porter, and asks him if he has heard
any further news of the Rev. Mr.. Smith.
The porter who is posted, replies; You

"By this time you andepend that the
nervous traveller is getting his panta-
looms on. Usually he peeps out, and
when he sees the mountain of flesh
that is talking, he is more willing to
take the upper berth than to run the
risk of being crushed to death in the
middle of the night. It's pretty good
scheme and generally works to the fat
mans satisfaction. AS soon as the
other fellow finds a joke has been played
upon him he forms the joker's acquaint-
ance and in almost every instance that
I've heard, the friendship so strangely
made is lasting, because the fat man Is

How Long Will 1t Last2

The calculations about the British
coal-felds have set statisticians at work
to determine how long the anthracite
coal of this cc,sntry will last Our soft
or bituminous coal is practically mex
haustible, but east of the Rocky Noun
tians, so far as known, hard or anthra-
cite coal is confined to a limited area in
the State of Pennsylvania. There are
$4,000 square miles of hard coal coun-
try in that State. Estimating hundred
tons to the acre in depth, would give
320,000,000 tons. As the various strata
of coal would average thirty feet in
depth, a grand total of 1900, GOO, 900 rep
resents the total production AS the
present consumption is 30,000,000 tons
per annum, it will be over three hundred
years before the Pennsylvania supply
will be exhausted. Some very fine an
thracite coal has been found in Colorado,
and other strata of it will doubtless be
uncovered in parts of the extreme west
ern country, but with our vast stores Of
bituminous coal, our wood, end petro-
leum, there is no danger of a want of
fuel for thousand years ahead, no
matter how dense our population. Then
it is not unreasonable. to believe that
chemistry may give us new heat pro-
ducing combinations which will dispense
with the use of our present fuels. Dem

Mines and Millions.

At our request letter from Col. E. L..
Mann, who for two years has bern superin-
tending to developing works Of the Uncle
George Mining Co., OF New Mexico, has
been shown us. This work is quite mex
pensive, employing only three or four
men, yet it has been sufficient to show, as
miners say, that they have "Struck
it Big" 'H' .a:t'
The mineral is found in a crevice vein
extending through the entire six mining
locations held by the Company, claim
two miles long. The Col. is we'll known
here as cool headed man. The enthusi-
asm he has shown about the value of these
mines shows that the property is likely in
the future to become more valuable than
any mining property ever held by one
mining company, or that the climate of
New Mexico has produced a radical change
in the Colonel's temperament.
We understand that Messrs. Sheffield Il
Norton and L. Trowbridge own about
one half of the Uncle George Mining Co.
They do not seem much elated; do not
doubt the great probable value of the
property, but think it will not do to forget
mineral veins, as the miners say, some-
times "pinch out"
We congratulate our fellow citizens up
on what now appears as great good for
tune. We hope their neighbors may yet
in different ways share in the good fortune
which in this matter comes first to
them. 'H'
