applies them to her, and then goes to
work to preach her sermon, full Of

Rich Anthracite Lead.

From a thoroughly reliable source the
Tribune learns that anthracite coal has
been discovered at a point eight miles
west of Livingston, twenty-five miles
east of Bozeman, and ffty-five miles
from the National park. The North
Pacific coal company have sunk two
shafts, one down 1I0 feet, the other 125
feet. A seven-foot vein Of genuine an
thracite coal has been found which
equals the Blossburg for blacksmithing
and makes, as our informant states, "a
bushel of steam.u The railroad COM
pany, it is understood, have kept the
matter quiet for some reason OF other,
but lie Tribune sees no reason why the
world shouldn't know that at last an
thracite coal has been discovered IN the
NorthWest.-Bisnurck Tribune.
