VALUABLE COAL FIND.
Coal Found in Rich Quantities on I'll
ShumaCin Group, Near Sitka.

Coal Found in Rich Quantities on the
Shumagin Group, Near Sitka.
Mr.. f. w. Worster and Colonel s. Lucas
were passengers down from Ungah Island
by the schooner Mascotte this morning.
They report that on the northwest portion
of this island-the principal one of the
Shumagin group, distant about 900 miles to
the west of Stka-some valuable coal mines
are located. During the past four years the
owners and parties interested have been
doing some good work in the way of pros
pec,ing and developing the property, and
now feel satisfied that they have a good
thing.
Besides supplying the local demand meas
urrs are on foot, it is understood, to place
this coal in large way on the San Fran
cisco market next year. The coal veins lie
one above the other 20 to 80 feet apart
numbering four to six workable veins of
and feet from roof to floor. These veins
can be traced for distance of two miles.
A tramway has been built connecting the
tunnel with 350-ton coal bunker at tide
water. Two warves and dwelling houses
have been erected, and there Is considerable
rolling stock on the ground. BY tunneling
and back stopping the coal is easily aud
cEeaply mined, virtually inexhaustible in
extent, and it is claimed that cargo lots can
be delivered in San Francisco at S4 per ton.
Analysis made by Professor Price shows
1t to be somewhat superior to Seattle coal,
but being of a Ignite formation, as are all
Pacific Coast Goals, 1t carries n large per-
centage of Observation-Disclosures Times.

is great stimulus to voluntary recruiting for
