FUEL FOR WICHITA.
A New Source of Coal Supply.

The coal deposits Of the Indian territory
have often been canvassed and discussed
in connection with Wichita's future fuel
supply. The matter has been but indie
finitely understood, either as to the
amount of the supposed deposits or their
location. IL general way it has been
indefinitely known that in the territory
embraced by the reservations Of the civil
lied tribes there existed vast deposits Of
fine Goals and that hunters explorers,
boomers and Others have declared that IN,
or close to- the eastern line of the Okla
homa district, proper, as well as in the t't.
Sill country, vast and valuable coal de-
posits were to be found. The question of
transportation seemed the only difficulty.
We cannot say that the transportation
problem is any nearer solved than form
erly, but we do know that a Wichita coal
company has secured in connection with
others lease of coal lands in the
territory, good, sound, solid lease APP
proved by the interior department and
that car lead of the coal reached a side
track in Wichita yesterday morning. Mr..
j. j. Littlefeld, who has lately become a
citizen of Wichita, and who is member of
the Wichita and Indian Territory Mining
company, laid upon our table yesterday
specimens of both bituminous and an
thracite coal such as for quality we never
saw equalled in the Wichita market. The
bituminous sample il intended for black
smithing and is clean, glistening black
coal. The anthracite specimen is genuine
black diamond. For one we are burning
Pennsylvania anthracite, one-third OF
which is left in the bottom of the stove I'M
consumed, like hard gravel stone, an utter
fraud. This coal from the territory ranges
right up to the finest to be
found in the Philadelphia coal
yards. The only question now is
can Wichita secure the transportation
! of those Goals at any equitable rate. The
Frisco delivered the carload above alluded
to by hauling it to Pierce City, Missouri;
thence back to Wichi a. These coal beds
lay below Ninita. between the Frisco and
Missouri, Kansas g. Texas railways. The
link which the Gould system is building
up to COffeyville to connect with the Den
yer, Mexican & Atlantic runs right
through these coal deposits. 1t would
seem, therefore, that even if all the great
deposits Immediately south of us were a
myth, Wichita still ought to be able, some
way, through or by these several roads, to
get coal laid down here at such Il price as
would shut out the Missouri and Eastern
Kansas Goals, or force the prices down TO a
point which would encourage all classes
Of manufactures using steam power.

BETTER THAN EXPECTED.

Captain John 3. Carey expressed him
self Yesterday as being very much pleased
with the great improvement in the city
since his visit here some months ago
Since his recent arrival he had visited
some of the parts Of the city showing
greatest evidences of improvement and the
result could be none other than an agree
able surprise. He had visited the Dold
packing house and witnessed the great
force Of men at work killing on an aver
age a thousand hogs per day. This he
considered one of the best indications Of a
truly great city that could be found in the
state. The Whitaker establishment he
also considered as another great victory
and would add greatly to the solid growth
of the city.
From information received he admits
that he had no idea OF seeing such wonder
ful improvements in so short a time.

ANOTHER CAPITALIST HOME AGAIN.

talk Wichita with leading capitalists,
with monied corporations and with rail-
way arrangements The fact that WITCH
ita is destined to be one of the greatest
cities and commercial centers of the west
is getting to be pretty well understood in
both New York and Philadelphia. That
it will be the supply point and wholesale
center for the new territory to be formed
out of the Indian territory all admit, con
ceding it to be a logical necessity. He
got home several days sooner than he ex-
pected and is correspondingly happy.

had had charge of tine school was not con
nected with the disturbance and only
pupils engaged in the fight. The gentle
man in charge was quite willing to dis
continue his work as the board had Sc

ANorHER cHIcAGo REPREsENTArIvE

Mr. 4. J. Wilson. of Chicago, repre-
sentative of one of its greatest monetary
firms, arrived in the city yesterday for the
express purpose, as we understand him, of
looking over The situation. He said, in
course OF our conversation, that he came by
way of St. Louis, and that in talk with
one of her most substantial citizens, a
man whose name is a tower Of strength
in every western financial circle, but who
is noted for his conservatism, said to him,
in speaking of Wichita, that in five years
we would have one hundred thousand
inhabitants, and that in ten years Kansas
City would be forced to behold in Wichita
an equal, if not superior. Mr. Wilson
proposes to look over the city today in a
thorough. systematic way, over its bust
ness blocks, its manufactures, packing
plants. etc. That he will be pleased goes
without saying, for Wichita only has to be
seen to be appreciated we care not who
the man or what his prejudces. Its COM
ing greatness is so indeli5ly stamped upon
its institutions and ali that it has and is,
that to see is to be convinced The strength
and importance Of her tributary environ
ments are equally as cogent aud convinc-
ing, and we are as confident OF Mr.. Will
sons conc usions as we could be # we had
seen them recorded in black and white.
