From the Fort Worth Fuel company
the following figures and facts in regard
TO fuel used In Fort Worth have been OBJ
tanned. The celebrated McAlister coal,
mined in the Indian Territory, is prin-
cipally used as fuel in Fort Worth. G.
II, Moorehead was the first local agent
for the handling Of this coal, and after
the Texas & Pacific road reached here
in 1876, II Is estimated that fifty tons of
1t was used up to January /, 1877. In
1856 there will be used in the nelghbor-
hood Of 10000 tons. In 1876 no an
thraclte coal was used, but in 1856 1900
tons will scarcely supply the demand.
Twenty-four tons Of forge coal was used
In 1876, and in 1856 there Will have been
used about $50 tons. These figures make
an interesting table, as follows:

through the little rayiue they wound their
way, stopping at the spring where the
cool retreat afforded them many q pleas
ant hour to rest. In latter years several
legends have sprung up, most probably
the work Of fertile Imagination, In which
the Indians we're the romantic centers. II
is said that as far back as the earliest set
tier can remember the spring has
been haunted. On dark, and particularly
stormy nights, II Is said that often when
the farmers were driving home at mid
night, from market, that a stately figure
was seen stalking through the dense lau-
rel bushes where path still leads to the
spring, and that the figure, after reaching
the ledge OF rocks on erhanging the spring,
and which commanded view for miles
up and down the Ohio river, would sud
denly wildly wave a light TO and fro as
though signaling TO mortal friends who
were IN danger. On other occasions, ac-
cordiDg TO the legend, the weirdness OF
the ghostly surroundings was still more
awe-inspirlDg by the wonderful tlnkling
OF bells 10 the stiffness OF night that
seemed TO be rupg by some unseen hand
whose immortal owner was apparently
standing on the edge OF the haunted rocks.
These legends and ghostly stories have
been handed down and narrated for ages
past, and still may be heard when the
work Of supernatural agencies are related
at the Laurel nresides in the winter. In
these more enlightened days there are not
a few people who are said to feel
chill steal over them II occasion should
require them to pass near the spot on
dark night when the stOrm-clouds are at
war with one another.
The Indian Spring, however, still re-
mains, and the pure, cool water gushes
forth same as OF yore. But the bridge
across the ravine, that was formed by
fallen tree, has moldered away. Within
the past month one Of those greatest of
civilizers and landmark destroyers, a
prosaic oil-pipe line, has been laid through
the rayine that leads TO the spring, and
one-hali of the last trace OF the early
sources Of the spring are obliterated.
