approaches anthracite in appearance
and quality and is always first-class
bituminous coal, usually making ex-
cellent coke. II is huge reservoir OF
coal destined to be of great value to
the Pacific coast when we commence
making our own pig iron and smeiting
our silver ores. OF course, like all
the coking Goals of this Coast they
are dirty and will need washing before
becoming merchantable article. The
ground is covered with magnificent
growth OF huge pine, fir and cedar
trees, standing so thick that it is al.
most impossible for pack animals to
make their way through. Over all
stands Mount Rainier, IA ,440 feet high,
and about twelve miles distant.
At the northern end of this field
several branches of the Northern Pa
cific railroad have been built up to the
mines at Carbonado, Wilkeson, South
Prairie, Pittsburgh and Acme. Car
bonsdo shows great signs of disturb
ance, but the seams are so numerous
and aggregate so great q thickness of
coal that large outputs can easily be
kept up. This is the largest produc-
ing mine in this county. This coal is
all used by the Southern Pacific rail-
way; that from Wilkeson, by the
Northern Pacific railroad. Both places

distance OF about twenty-six miles.
The measures are Of great width, being
from 10000 to $4,000 feet thick, and
standing usually from 70 degrees to
perpendicular. One hundred square
miles will take in the whole field.
The field is very difficult OF access,
especially the middle and southern
portions, and this will be a serious
drawback in the mining and working
of the coal. The rugged canyons OF
the Mashed, Puyallup and Carbon
rivers, with their deep, rushing vol
umes Of water, present an obstacle al
most insurmountable, and will tax the
grit of capitalists and the ingenuity OF
engineers.
Commencing at the southern end of
the county, the coal is exposed over
looking the valley of the Nisqually
river. Here is good location for
favorably opening out coal mine,
but from this point north to Wilkeson
is an unbroken wilderness. The coal
crops out from the flanks OF the steep
mountain side, dipping usually to the
east at heavy angles. At other times
the seams can be traced mp the beds
of the mountain streams, cropping out
one after the other in bewildering
numbers. Sometimes when igneous
masses of rock are adjacent the coal

st. Louis Republic.

Great was the amazement of all
Europe when at about the close of the
last century William Murdoch dis
covered that gas could be used for il
Eliminating purposes. So little was
the invention understood by those
who had not seen it in use that even
the great and wise men of the British
parliament laughed at the idea. "How
can there be light without wick?"
said one member of that august body,
with a wink and a knowing nod.
Even the great Sir Humphry Davy
ridiculed the idea of lighting towns
and cities with gas. He one day asked
Murdoch. "Do you mean to use the
dome of st. Paul's for your gas meter?"
Sir Walter Scott also made merry of
the gas idea and of coming attempt to
illuminate London with smoke from
tar factory"

A REMARKABLE LAKE.
No Man Has EverISOunded Its Hot.
tom a Deep Hole In solid Rock.

Long before mankind ever started
its conquest OF this earth from sea
the monsters, says Il Tacoma paper,
area that is now distinguished by the
name of Palouse country had been sub.
jected to violent upheavals and radi-
cal changes in topography. A great
inland sea rested here for many cen
turtles, and the chemical action of the
water enriched the soil Simultaneous
ly with levelling the sediment in the
form of y vast-plain. Internal convul.
sions raised the submerged plain high
and dry, with a steep decline to the
westward. The rushing flood cut the
land into ridges and ravines, high
bluffs and lonely rocks being scattered
promiscuously in living evidence OF
the revolution. The surface thus
presents a broken and picturesque
scene. Chief among the wonderful
products OF these prehistoric convul-
sions and deluges is canon over the
northwestern part OF Whitman county
containing Rock lake, sheet of
water twelve miles long by about one
hundred rods wide, bordered by cliffs
ascending perpendicularly to height
of LOO to $500 feet. The canon of
Rock Lake runs east to west. 1t is a
deep hole in plateau of solid rock
and the bottom has never been
sounded by man. The eastward ex
tremity falls abruptly from the bed OF
a small stream down 500 feet, over a
cascade, down another plunge Of 600
feet and off finally over a second
cascade 300 feet to the bottom. Above
the lands rolls away in small heaps OF
stone and barren slopes for five miles
on either side. Down at the bottom
is valley, one by three miles in
extent and covered with the prettiest
coat OF tropical foliage to be found
anywhere.
The climate in this declivity is as
tropical and delightful as that which
gives Hawaii an enviej fame all the
world over. The temperature seldom
falls below sixty degrees Fahrenheit
and rarely goes above ninety degrees.
The cold of winter is seemingly un-
able to reach the level of the valley,
owing to the internal warmth nstur-
ally belonging to hole so deep. The
heat Of summer is tempered by the
cooling influence of the lake adjoin-
ing. The west end of this little Gar
den of Eden jumps abruptly over a
precipice 100 feet into Rock Lake. and
the western end of the lake, twenty
miles further on, finds an outlet
through narrow passageway between
hills sloping sharply and soon break
ing into dismembered pyramids of
lOCh. 1uC cuildCC VI 1eOSh
Lake is not much above sea level, and
the unfathomable depth of the water,
clear as crystal, connected with weird
surroundings, affords theme for
philosophical meditation not surpassed
by the sublime ruggedness OF the Alps.
An Indian legend of this remarkable
lake makes it the home of monstrous
sea serpent. The remnants of the red
tribes which used to frequent its shore
tell their white ne;ghbors that no
Indian can venture into the water
either for a bath or pleasure trip in
canoe without being swallowed whole
by the hideous reptile, and to this day
the aborigines look upon Rock Lake
with the same apprehension that an
old-time Orthodox ponders over the
terrors Of hell.

ANALYSIS OF PIERCE COUNTY GOALS.
LEWIS COUNTY,


There are three grades of coal in
this field, which has an area as follows
Anthracite, 80 square miles; bitumin-
ous, PIG square miles; Ignite, $50
square miles.
In the western part OF the county
the Ignite leads appear, dipping at
various angles and of various thickness.
This is considered the lowest grade of
Ignite in the State, although it makes
good fire and burns freely, but it
leaves large amount OF ash.
As we go east there is found a rich
bituminous field ol coal, as yet unde-
veloped owing to lack of transporta-
tion. The impression is gaining
ground that this is continuation Of

the United States government in
making comparisons OF coal in this
Western country.
South Prairie, four miles further
north, contains but one seam of work
able coal rs far as known. dipping
probably to the west. The vein is not
much over three feet in thickness, but
is of great value for its gaseous quail
tiea, and is almost all used for that
purpose, giving five cubic feet of gas to
the pound.
At Pittsburgh, further east from
South Prairie and situated on the
same creek, considerable work has
been done and money spent, but the
coal was too dirty and from present
appearances the plant is a failure.
Still further up the creek is Acme,
where is well-put little property, but
appearances point to the same results
at Pittsburgh, for the same reasons.
North of these three mines nothing
is exposed until the measures reappear

The superstition Mine. In Pin.l County.

The Arizona Gazette of yesterday states that on Tuesday evening Albert T. Colton and Frank F. Trott, official surveyors respectively for the counties of pinal and Maricopa, returned to Phoenix from their work of defining the boundary line between their coun- ties in the neighborhood of the new camp at Goldfields, twenty-five miles northeast of Mesa City.
 The county line was taken up at the 'elbow," near Salt river, and followed across the rough hills eastward a dis tance of about eight miles.
 The result is the one not unexpected, that much of Goldfelds' district, em- bracing nearly all of tho Mammoth claims and the greater part of the town of Goldfields lies south of the line in the county of Pinal.
 Full data as to the effects of the survey cannot be obtained. as the sur yeyors must first compare their separ- ately taken notes, and correct any discrepancies.
 With the development Of the many rich gold properties it is probable that within few years the camp will add a hundred thousand dollars in valu- ation to Pinal county.
 
 A suit for possession of large DOT tlon of the Mammoth and Hall prop critics lately brought in the district courtof Maricopa county will probably be transferred to Florence for trial.
 Stevens, Drew X Co., will immedi- ately establish aline of stages between Florence and Goldfelds.
