cINNADAR COAL.
| The Northern Pacific Makes Thorough Test
Of the Coal Of the Herr Mines, and
| Contracts for the Output


Ib'fna Ihu'Ieuuchs-1
Some time ago the Northern Pacific
railroad. through Assistant GenexaI
Manager Law, made u thorough test
of the coal OF the Horr mines at Gin
nabar for engine use. The test WAS
made on the mountain run between
Bozenan and Livingston, and, to
quote from Mr.. Laws report, ut gave
entire satisfaction, being clean and
good steaming coal, equal to Roslyn
or eastern coal" After invest igating
the quality as well as the quantity
that could he furnished, they have
cont racted with Mr.. II. +. Brown, gem
eral manager of the Park Coal COM
pany, for the entire output of the
mines, and are now building a spur up
to the mountain to save the wagon
haul and to facilitate the production.
This will give work to probably $50
men mt once and more AS the season
advances. There are five veins OF coal
in this property, all blanket in posi-
ton, and from seventy-iive to eighty
feet apart.
On the two lower veins entries have
been run aggregating over 2,WO feet /,
including cross-headings, etc. ThecOal
as opened in these entries shows per-
iectly uniform in thickness and quail
ity, aud is very free from slate and
dirt. The coal in both veins is true
bituminOus coking variety, and very
desirable as a fuel for domestic use,
and is well known in this city, where
it has been used with increasing favor
during the past year.

A GREAT FLORIDA ORANGE CROP.
Probably 2,soo.ooo Boxes win d the Total
The Fever Not Anseting the Trade.

One OF the leading dea lers in oranges
said yesterday that the yellow feverin
Florida thus far had had no effect on
the sales OF the fruit. Tuesday 2 500
boxes Of oranges and an equal number
OF barrels of white grapes were sold on
the fruit exchange. Yesterday the
sales were much larger.
One of the agent of the Florida fruit
exchange said to AN Evening sun re.
porter this morning: ''1'he Florida
fruit exchange advises it's agents here
that the crop Of oranges this year will
he 2,5OO.WW boxes, the largest ever
grown. Many growers believe that it
will reach :S.WO. 900 boxes"
DIR. smith, the quarantine officer,
was consulted 10y the New York agents
Oi the exchange, and sand there would
be no ob-tructiOn TO the import alton
Of oranges from the south. They are
being got from Janaica now The
fruit from Florida will begin to arrive
about Nov. |, and keep coming until
April.
The output OF American lemons this
year amounts to 10000 barrels. but
all the experts in the trade declare
that the time is not far distant when
America will raise all the lemons she
needs for home consumption.
In proof of his opinion that the im-
pOrtation of oranges from the fever
injected districts would not enyender
an epidemic the New York agent oi the
Florida fruit exchange quoted he ca Sc
OF the great cholera epidemic in Naples.
Thousands Of boxes were received here
that year and not "a case of cholera
was the result. Indeed, orange and
lemon peel seem to be unfavorabe to
the propagation Of microbes.

but in this, as i'm everything else, the
struggle will result in the survival OF

The fact that the cattle men came first
will count for little. They are all
business men. and ii. under the pecu-
liar conditions of climate and forage

sheep than cattle, they will invest
their capita. in that industry which
yields the largest returns.
The sheep is the most valuable ami

furnishes the table with a meat second
only to the finest beef; and every year
it bares it's back in order to clothe its
