blue CANYON COAL Mine
A Great Body of Coal Uncov-
cred Near Lake What
com
A Growing City Within a
Short Distance of the
Mine
Vast Amount of Work Accom-
plished in a Very Short
Time

II. X. Wheeler, secretary Of the Blue
Canyon townsite company, in company
with a HERALD representative, boarded
one OF George Francis wagons for the
purpose Of taking a trip to Lake What
com, and visiting the Blue Canyon coal
mine and the growing town Of Blue
Canyon. The embryo city is located on
the north side OF the lake, eleven miles
from Silver Beach. No difficulty is eX
perienced in reaching the town, as the
little steamers plying on the lake make
frequent trips.
Blue Canyon is pleasantly situated on
level ground, slopng with a gradual de-
cline to the lake. The slope is just su1i-
cient for drainage purposes, and affords
splendid view of the picturesque body Of
water that is spread out like a panorama
before IT.. The hills and mountains in the
vicinity are covered with the finest Of
timber, and arrangements are being per-
fected for the putting up Of a large saw
mill within a short distance Of the city.
The Blue Canyon Coal mine is located
on the hill side, Immediately above the
TOWNSHIP. The mine is 9, 100 feet from the
shore OF the lake, and some idea OF the
steepness of the mountain can be gained
from the statement that raise OF 800
feet is made I'm the distance.
When j. +. Wardner secured control OF
the property last November it was a DAYS
work TO reach the mine, not a shadow Of
a trail or anything that could be termed
road was visible on the hill side Mr.
Wardner at once put q force Of men at
work making trails and building a tram
may. The tramway leads up the noun
tain and is constructed with view TO
strength, and is used to bring coal from
the mine.
Taking the short time into considera-
ton since active operations were COM
menced at the mine an immense amount
of work has been accomplished. Two
tunnels, each about 100 feet in
length have been run and an incline
has been sunk about ninety feet on the
slope of the vein, beside this blacksmith
shop, screens, engine house and other i'm
provements necessary for the operation
OF the mine have been constructed. When
Mr.. Wardnor and associates first took
hold Of the property there was not much
in sight to base any hopes on. but Mr..
Wardner's efforts have been Justly re-
warded with deserved success. The de-
velopments have uncovered one Of the
largest bodies Of coal in the country. The
coal from the very top was found TO be
good for all purposes. The little steamer
Geneva has been using IL for some time
and this practical test has demonstrated
the fact that the coal Is irst-class as a
ssesu-making fuel. II burns readily,

A fish hawk pulled a large salmon out Of
Elk river one day last week The fish was
too large for the bird to carry off. So,
leaving it on the sand, the bird flew of to
a pile Of driftwood, and picking up a stick
with a sharp and jagged edge returned to
where the fish lay and sawed it in two,
when it flew away with half of the salmon.
The other half was served for our dinner.

In 1882, while in Denver on n Jour.

had afforded me so many hours OF
laughter and entertainment. TO be

lived, was 500 miles away, but my
curiosity regarding the man had been
aroused and appreciation OF his work
made the distance seem short.

II is quite out Of fashion tostruggle

this case YOU never loose "A kiss, as
sou may II you do the struggle" act,
and il Is much more satisfactory than
q kiss after a struggle or during a

You can beawiully surprised and
