Notes About Town.

Coal has been round OF the lanQ OF InOnlaS
Dunn on Yellow river, in Bennett county.
Thirty years ago Mr.. Dunn thought he saw
indications of coal. At that time he did
not own the land, and kept the matter to
himself. He tried to buy the land, but did
not succeed until ten or fifteen years ago.
Last week he had some of his men dig down
in the ground several feet, and found about
bushel of washings of coal. Yesterday he
came to this city, and with Mr.. Samuel
Mathews went to st. Paul to have an assay
made. Mr.. Mathews returned last night.
and to a GLOBE representative said that
they could not know the result for day or
two. Dunn thinks that there is coal in
paving quantities on his land, and he is in
hopes of making fortune out of it. If
coal should be found in paving quantities
on his land this will make land boom in
that section. He owns several thousand
acres.
