Charley Lawson has a specimen OF
camel coal at his store on Nam
street taken from ledge on Pend
dOreille river that is said to be
twelve feet thick. No good authn-
cite coal has yet been discovered in
the upper country In sufficient guam
titles to pay to work although indi-
cations Of the existence Of that val
liable fuel have been found In vari-
Gus places. A heavy vein Of coal ut
a point near the railroad, would be
more valuable TO the finder than a
gold mine. We feel satisfied that
coal will be eventually found in this
vicinity as all other kinds Of mineral
seem to abound. The specimen that
Mr.. Lawson has was broken from the
surface face Of the ledge, is light In
weight, but is pure piece OF camel
coal, and burrs freely, emitting that
OdOr familiar to all those who have
lived anywhere where coal has been
the principal fuel. II the ledge is
twelve feet thick, as stated, and the
article holds out us good as the spec
linen, the owners Of the claim have
a piece Of roperty that will eventu-
ally make them immensely rich.

Notwithstanding the frosty nature
Of the air Wednesday evening,
making out door gambOls anything
hut intensely enjoyable, the an
nOunrement Of lawn party at the
residence OF l. s. Kaufman attract
ed a very large attendance. A few
attempted to maui the gentle GRO
quet hall about the lawn In the dus-
ky light oflanIerns and an unaccOm-
mOdatIng moon, but the great ma
jority sought the shelter Of the resi-:
dence. The pniss band added con-
siderably to the pleasure Of the eve
ming. The boys have become very
proficient in the use OF the instru.
ments and kindly played for the
beneit Of the assembly several airs.
The lemonade stand was the source
nf considerable income, hut the MT
ture Of the atmosphere created a de-
sire for something more searching
than cold drinks. Financially, ~
well rs socially, the event can be
scored success, thanks to the exer-
tiOrs Of the ladies having it In
charge,
