Dakota Coal.

The following from the Park River Ca
zette whose editor, Mr.. Strong, was with
the legislative body visiting the coal mines
at Sims:
Thursday, January 81, Mr.. CIV. Thomp-
son, president of the Northwestern Grain
4 Fuel Company, OF Bismarck, invited the
legislature and their attendant branches to
visit his coal mines at Sims, about 40 miles
west Of Bismarck. The greater number of
the council, some of the house and most of
the clerks availed themselves of the offer,
A special train left at $50 a. m. with two
coaches and smoking car filled with peo-
pie anxious to see DakOto coal mine.
Sims is the name of a small station of
about 70 or 80 houses among the hill in the
largest Of which is the coal mine owned by
the company before mentioned. We
walked into shaft running almost level
into small mountain half mile through
solid coal, with here and there chamber
from 10 to 80 feet wide running off alright
work OF development was begun in 1875,
and has been worked straight into the hill
over half a mile. The vein is of an aver
age thickness of feet, and no conception
OF its extent can be made. Over 100000
tons OF coal have been taken out, the daily
output is about $50 TONS
Coal ito right of them,'
Coal "to left Of them,''
Glistens and glimmers,
Enough to warm all Dakota.
The farther point of the shaft is esti-
mated about half way up the hill and $50
feet from the surface of the hill side, the
top OF which, we are told, forms plateau
or perfectly level table land of several
thousand acres of excellent agricultural
land, when the surface becomes broken
again by ravines leading toward the Mis-
souri,. Several other smaller mines are
in operation in this locality, and it is reas-
onably believed that this part of Dakota
contains Ignite fuel enough to last the
two Dakotas for 1000 years.
The company now pay Is cents per ton
an average, three tons daily. The coal sells
at the mine for S1.50 per ton; delivered in
the city for So per ton, which is cheaper
fuel than hay or wood, unles the steal it.

Earthquake at Costa Rica.

PANAMA, Feb. 4-The following details
OF the recent earthquake in Costa Rica are
published in the Annunciator Costa Re-
cense: Ats p. m. Dec. % while the inhabi-
tants of the San Jose capital we're prepar-
ing to enjoy the entertainments which had
been prepared, a strong shock of earth
quake caused general alarm. At II O'clock
another and stronger shock occurred, lead
ing all to believe that another would soon
follow. For this reason no one retired to
rest. Thus all were awake when at 42O
q movement occurred which was more
than simple earthquake, being really
fearful catOclySm similar to that of Sep
tember 1841. 1t did immense damage in
the cities OF San Jose and Heredia and the
villages of Baba, Santa Barbara, San Rafael,
De Heredia, Grecia and Santo Domingo,
which suffered most in San Jose were the
cathedral, Carmen and DIerceda churches,
presidential palice, artillery barracks, ma
tional palace, central barracks, national
printing offices and union bank.
1t may be truly said that rot
are not safe to live in and others are COM
pletely wrecked. 1t has been necessary to
close the churches and prohibit worship in
them. The streets are blocked with ruins.
No trains ran until the bridges were exam
ined and found in good order. The losses
in San Jose amount to more than $2,OOO,OOO,
while the principal ediices Alijucla are
damaged. At La Lagnna, distant some
SIX miles from here, an extraordinary geo.
logical phenomenon took place,
and the earth assumed the appearance of
q rough sea. The father OF a family and
four Of his children were buried together,
while the mother and her young child
were thrown by the motion Of the earth a
distance of ], 900 meters, although she de-
clares the earth swallowed her and then
elected her where she was found. Here
hills changed their position and the ground
is full Of cracks. The town Of Heredia
also suffered. In Castago, Limon and Pun
tarenas the rumbling Of the earth was

INDIANAPOLIS, FeD. 1.-THE face Of
Wanamaker, the merchant prince, is now
seen in the back ground among s'might

Another Treasurer Short.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Feb. 1s-It is made
public that Mr.. L. Porter, who has just re-
tired from the Office Of county treasurer Of
Vermillion county, this state, is short
about $4,000 in his accounts. He decided
all his property IN trust for the benefit of
his bondsmen, and it is thought they will
not lose anything. Porter yet retains the
good opinion of all who knew him. He
did not disipate or speculate. His gener
osity toward friends was the cause Of his
loss. Furthermore, he conducted his busi-
ness in a loose way, leaving everything to
his deputies.

A had Accident,

This morning abont 1910, quite a
serious accident occurred on Com
mercial street, just opposite Simon's
cigar store. Mr. Williams, quite an
old gentleman, father of w p Will
liams, the stenographer, was stand
ing in the street when Lee, the ex-
pressman came along and ran into
Mr. Williams. The tongue of the
wagon struck him in the back,
knocking him to the ground in an
insensible condition. He was pick
eel up and carried to Gibson X Sim
gleton's drug store, where DIR j n
Smith dressed his wounds. He
sustained n bad cut on the nose, and
also a severe bruise ON his forehead.
From the lick he received he escap-
ed luckily. The accident certainly
was purely accidental, but too much
caution cannot be exercised by both
drivers and pedestrians, during such
a confusion as has been on the
streets the past week.

SantiaIn Mines.

Mr.. A. Campbell came down from
the mines yesterday and went on to
Portland. He had some of the fin
est nuggets thread and wire gold
that the writer has ever seen. He
also had nearly a trunk full of as
fine quartz as was ever exhibited.
The specimens were considered by
experts much more handsome and
of finer quality than those now on
exhibition in the window of Col.
w. w. Martin. Everett f. Smith,
who is interested in quite number
of mines, in and around Dry Gulch,
arrived in town last evening from
the mines. He says he thinks the
Gold Mountain and Dry Gulch Con-
solidated Gold and Silver mining
company have the richest and best
mining property that he has seen.
Mr.. Hiram Giddings, department
recorder of the mines, says the min
ing company has struck the only

a Bold Robbery.

One of the boldest robberies that
has been committed in the city for
some time, was perpetrated this
morning, between the hours of five
and six o'clock a. M, at the resi-
dence of City Councilman LAHORE,
on High street. Sam Stats secured
a room there last evening, for the
night, and this morning he was
awakened by noise in the room.
He looked around and as it was
quite light, he easily discovered the
form of strange man stoOp-
ing down in one cor
ner of the room. He at once
sprang from the bed, and at this
instance the bold intruder fled from
the room, but was followed by Mr..
Stats, who, dressed only in his
nIght-clothes, gave the fleeing
burglar close chase for a couple of
blocks. Mr. Stats, seeing he could
not capture his burglarship, returned
to his room and held an "invoice :"
over his goods; the "invoice !"
showed that the visitor had taken
$50 in money, a pair of pants, and a
gold watch and chain, for which he
failed to leave receipt Mr. Stats
says he can easily identify the thief
should he ever see him again The
pants were found this morning
about block and a half from the
scene of the robbery
