The PENNSYLVANIA OF THE WEsT.-0ver
1000 acres Of coal lands have been located
by the Northern Pacific railroad company
snd private individuals in the NatcheeE
and Cowlits coal fields. Prof. Hecock,
formerly superintendent Of the Belling-
ham Bay coal mines and late territorial
coal inspector, arrived In North Yakima
last Saturday evening with q large force
Of prospectors, all Of whom give glowing
reports Of their discoveries. The party
located one ledge Of anthracite coal which
measured seventeen feet six inches 10
depth on the face. Only think Of i'll A
mine Of that depth has never been known
before In this section Of the country, and
1t gives promise Of incalculable supplies,
and that, too, Of coal superior to any now
mined. Is it strange that Yakima feels
assured Of another road through the
Natcheez pass with the mines Of coal,
silver, gold, plumbago, mineral paint and
with the quarries Of limestone and the
virgin forests Of magnificent timber, and
an easy grade to tempt the railroad
builder2 Some Of the finds Of coal have
been critically examined by the N. P.
company's minerologist, and he pro-
nounces It superior quality Of semi-an-
thracite. Certainly, with the showing
already made-and there Is much yet TO
be Observation-Disclosures can appro-,
priately lay claim to the title Of the Penn
sylvania Of the West.
FmRr APPEARANcE OF McKEE RANKIN.
THE Runaway Wife," q purely dOmes-
tic drama written by Mckee Rankin, will
be produced by that eminent actor, sup
ported by an exceptionally strong com.
pany, at the opera house next Tuesday
evening, November 10. The play Is one
Of the more recent New York successes
and IL now touring through this section
OF the country, creating more genuine en-
thusiasm than any play Of . similar
nature ever produced. II Is q beautiful
story, emotional, artistic and natural. and
may be aptly styled q "pOem Of every
day liie." So much human nature IL
shown that we are carried back 10 our
own fresides. Mr.. Rankin will be sup
ported by Miss Mabel Bert, late leading
lady Of the California theatre, hand
some woman and q talented artistic. The
same care will be given to the perform
ance and staging Of THE Runaway Wife"
here in North Yakima as marked its sue
ctssiul engagement in San Francisco re-
Gently. The prices are placed within
reach Of all. Reserved seats may be So
cured ct Allen & Chapman's.
A MOUNTAIN or MINERAL PANT.-How.
ard Carr returned last week from the
NatcheeE country for supplies, bringing
with him some very good specimens Of
silver bearing quartz, and what Mr.. Carr,
who Is q painter by profession, pro-
nounced to be mineral paint Of the purest
character. A. L. ShIiver this week
ground and mixed some Of this paint and
informed the HERALD representative that
II puIverized readily, ives free from grit
and as smooth o. lead. In few days he
will try burning 1t and give 1t practical
test by using It In painting, and 1t ID his
opinion that Il will not have the failing Of
most mineral paints, but will take on q
good gloss. Mr.. Carr, who returned on
Saturday TO the mines, claims TO have
located q mountain Of this paint. This
is only another Of the reasources at Yak
ima's door which the wonderful Natcheez
country is yielding up to the labor Of the
prospector and which will make North
Yakima q railway center and q city Of
manufactures. ....r..
OPENING or SHARDLow & McDANEL's.
On Saturday last Messrs. ShardloW d
Mcdaniel threw upon the doors Of their
elegantly appointed saloon, on the corner
Of Front street and Yakima avenue. The
papering and woodwork 10 Of the most
attractive order and evidences not only
the superior taste Of the proprietors but
the skill Of the workmen. The front
portion Of the building is devoted to bill
lizards, the next room to the bar where
the genial Ed. Lyon presides during the
day and Johnny Hogan at night. Next
comes the general reception and card
room, and last are two private parlOrs.
The opening night was made memorable
by q game lunch and the lively popping
Of champagne coTks. Ls''
A RUNAWAY TRAN.-An engine and
thirty-seven cars loaded with coal be-
came unmanageable on the steep branch
road leading from ROslyn, Tuesday even
ing, and dashed down the incline at q
irightiul speed, estimated ct from eighty
to one hundred miles an hour. It looked
as though an awful wreck was inevitable
and the two brakemen and conductor
jumped but the engineer and fireman
pIuckily stayed and Whistled for, the
switch ct Cle-Elum, which was given
them lust in time and the huge train,
swaying, shaking and jumping made the
main track in safety and was brought
under control before the station Of Teana-
way, three miles below, was reached.
