OUR GREAT COAL FIELDS.

DR.. Swallow Makes Very Favorable
Report on Sand Coulee Coal.
The Independent of last Saturday says:
DR.. Swallow, the eminent expert, visited
the Sand Coulee coal mines in the inter
est of some Minnesota capitalists. The
doctor gives a very favorable report of
the showing Of coal in the mines he ex-
amined-the Culberson 6 Mexican mines,
the Sand Coulee companys mines, Deans
mine, Sargent's mine and Humphreys
mine, all of which are sufficiently devel-
oped to show we'll the character of the
vein and the quality Of the coal. All these
mines are adjacent to each other, all on
the same vein, and all carry about the
same quality and quantity of coal per
acre. The coal bed varies in thickness
from six feet to Is feet, with some shale
partings. About three Or four feet of it
will coke ii we'll assorted in mining, and
about the same quantity is dry coal
which will not coke, but is an excellent
heating coal for domestic and manufac-
turing purposes. The whole of the coal,
carefully mined and mixed, would make
a good fuel for smelling certain ores, even
without coking. These mines will yield
about II 900 tons per acre.

Poisoned Her Children,

PHILADELPHIA, June 16.-A decided
sensation was created in the police office
Tuesday morning when Mrs. Sarah Jane
Whiteling voluntarily confessed she had
poisoned her two children and had fur
nished her husband with poison with
which, she declares, he took his own life
on account of dependency caused by
poverty. The family lived in poverty in
the rear of l. ~ Cadwalder street. The
detectives worked at her for confession,
but up to today were unsuccessful Fin
ally the woman broke down from the
weight of her awful secret and made a
clean breast of the whole affair. She
stoutly maintains that she did not admin
lister the poison to her husband. Mrs.
Whiteling professed great pity, and on
Sunday last went to church, and kneeling
at the altar rail asked the prayers of the
congregation for forgiveness of her sins.
Post-mortem examinations disclosed the
fact of poisoning, and the woman was ar
rested Sunday night She collected $3.50
as insurance money on the lives of her

THE INDUSTRIAL METROPOLIS.
Mr.. Holland of st. Paul Examines the In
dustrial Resources of Great Falls,

uusbIldl resources OF Great FAILS
I. Holland, of the firm of Holland &
Thompson, of St. Paul, arrived in town
Saturday. Mr.. Holland, who is an extern
sive brass founder and contractor. His
firm have wholesale store in st. Paul
and large works at South St. Paul, which
is manufacturing suburb of the city.
The firm manufacture brass goods and
heating apparatus equal to any produced
by the oldest establishments in the east.
Mr.. Holland has been in Butte, Anaconda.
Helena and other places with the view of
e1fecting sales to the wholesale houses
and of acquiring information regarding
the industrial capacity Of Montana and
the growth of the copper interest. He
was recommended by Col. Plummer, of
the Granite Mountain mining company,
to visit this city as the most promising
place in the territory. Accordingly he
came here and has both by personal OBJ
servation and inquiry acquired general
| knowledge of the city and it's resources.
In speaking of Great Falls from an in
dustrial point of view Mr.. Holland says:
81 am very favorably impressed with this
city of which have heard great deal in
Butte and elsewhere. The coal, the river
and the waterpower which it provides
are all calculated to render this thriv-
ing, industrial centre. The railroad en-
a5les you to turn all these advantages to
account. The city may count on steady
progress in the leading branches of the
mining industry. The large mineral de-
posts in the Belt mountains can all be
| reduced here under the most favorable
| conditions"
Inreply to an inquiry regarding the cop
per industry Mr.. Holland says: ''The
| French syndicate controls the copper pro-
duction of the world. The price has ad-
vanced to about N cents. So far the ar
rangement works satisfactorily for the
works are to be established here on
large scale. regard this place as well
adapted for the smelling of copper, be-
cause it has water power and coal. Be
sides it is on the way to the market,where
copper is consumed. Just as wheat is
made into flour at Minneapolis in order
to save freight and greater expense in
milling it elsewhere, so the place to smelt
copper is here, which is on the route to
the seaboard, and where coal and water
power are abundant. l am convinced
that great changes may be looked for in
the copper industry in order to promote
greater economy in the production of
manufactured articles These changes
will correspond with those in the iron
trade, where the direct production of steel
rails has produced a revolution in that
business"
Regarding ths,city from Il manufactur-
er's point of view Mr.. Holland is convinc-
ed that there is wide field here for gen
eral industries connected with the metal
trade. He considers that the machine
shops and foundries fall short of the i'm
mense demand which must result from
the development of mines, the railroad
shops and reduction works. He is of the
opinion also that manufactured goods
might be shipped from here to factories
where they would receive the final fin

New YORK, June 16.-There have been

SAND COULEE COAL.
THE MINES TO BE WORKED ON AN
EXTENSIVE SCALE.
One Thousand Tons Daily the Output-An
Needed Machinery will Be on the
Way in One Week-COlOneI
BrOadWater's Commitments.


A Tribune representa- found Colo
mel Broadwater at breakfast in the Park
hotel this morning and was fortunate
enough to catch him in Il communicative
mood. Knowing that he had just visited
the coal mines at Sand Coulee with Mr..
Hill and Mr.. Devlin, the scribe first
sought information on that subject.
"You can say, if you wish,' said the
colonel, shat all arrangements have now
been perfected for working the Sand
Coulee measures on an extensive scale
Mr.. Devlin, who is general superintend-
ent of coal mines in Illinois, where 5000
tons are daily put upon the cars, has
made careful inspection Of our proper
ty and pronounces the coal to be not only
Of good quality, but what is almost as i'm
portant, capable of being easily and
cheaply worked. Mr.. Devlin went east
yesterday on Mr. Hill's special and will
at once order the machinery required for
working III. Sand Coulee mines A por-
ton was ordered by telegraph yesterday
and within one week the whole outfit will
be aboard the cars and en- route to Great
Falls"
"What kind of machinery do you use?'
ave have ordered the necessary steam
power, air compressers, cars, ETC., and
identically the same machinery employed
b,r naulip in, T1I;pnie = Lo ~
most complete arrangement for mining
coal in the northwest"
"What will be the output"
"We expect to mine one thousand tons
a day, and more than that after awhile.
Any demand can be met, and l know it
will be great"
"Will Mr.. Devlin have charge of the
work %
"Mr. Devlin will exercise general SUI
pervision, but as to the details of the
work it Is not necessary to speak now.
The Importance of this enterprise to
Great Falls and the territory at large is
greater than is generally understood. For
your town it means another payroll Of
several hundred names and cheap fuel
for manufacturing and all other purposes.
While not to the same extent, the whole
territory as well will be benefited by this
enterprise. In the mining region and on
your prairies cheap coal will be one of
the most potent factors of prosperity. As
the conclusion of the whole matter you
may say that Broadwater will be happy to
present his compliments and abundance
of Sand Coulee coal to the people of
Montana in very short time"
In addition to the foregoing the Trib-
une can say that Mr. Devlin is one of the
best authorities on coal in the United
States, being largely interested in coal
lands and mining. After careful exam
ination Of the measures at Sand Coulee
he pronounces the coal of excellent quail
ity, stating that in his judgment the Sand
Coulee coal fields are the most important
west of the Mississippi. In his opinion
the demand for this coal will not be limit
ed to Montana, but will be shipped east
as far as Fargo over the Manitoba and its
connections. The machinery ordered is
on a scale that will admit of the mining
OF 1000 tons daily and the capacity can be
increased whenever desired.

CHICAGO, June 16.-The probability is
that John NJ. Thurston of Nebraska will
be made temporary chairman of the re-

Of New York permanent chairman. Those
who were unacquainted with Thurston
had apparently settled upon Egan, ex-
president Of the Irish National Land
league and delegate from Nebraska, as
the most available man. Mr.. Egan said
that while he appreciated the honor
sought to be bestowed upon him by his
friends, the Nebraska delegation would
be solid for Thurston.
