Coal on tho Sioux Lands.

Two years before the opening of the

geologist, in company with several gen.
tlemen. obtained permission to cross
the Sioux Reservation. From the time
the expedition first struck the White
River bluffs Prof. Gray said that coal cx-
istcd there in unlimited quantities.
Pressing up the river to the very YER GO
OF tho bad lands, this conviction grew
upon him, and whom the tour was COM
pleted he gave it Us his emphatic opin-
ion that an abundance of coal was to

that settlers along this river know of
the existence of coal and that mining
operations will commence at once upon
receipt of patents for the land.
