THE CITY'S IDLE MONEY.

Twelve Thousand Dollars and What
Might BE Done With Fart OF it.
A few years ago Topeka voted bonds
to the amount Of $12, ,OO 70 be used IN
prospecting for coal inside Of the city
limits.
The American Diamond drill company
contracted to drill a hole IN prospecting
for coal TO a depth of 1000 feet for the
$4,000 and for four years they worked
on the hole and expended over $4,000
but never got below 1900 feet and cOnse
quently never got any of the money
allowed by the city for that purpose.
At one time the city council allowed
$6,0U0 on an estimate but the money
went into the hands of p. q. Noel in
trust where it remains unused and as the
money should go back to the city treas
ury
This money certainly should be used
instead of being allowed to remain idle
in the city treasury. It has been sug-
gested that if hole he sunk in some
more desirable place the result might be
better.
Jack Sutherin who lives west of the
city has for twenty years been working
q twelve inch vein Of coal on his farm,
and although he commenced without a
dollar of money and paid d royalty for
the privilege of mining under the land
lie now owns the land and is worth
s. 600
A few years ago Mr.. Sutherin was Wis
geological survey who made a careful
investigation of the land ia that vicinity
and gave it as his opinion that the Leav-
enwOrth vein of coal could be found by
going down to q sufficient epth along the
drop fall, just west Of Martins creek
This officer said it would be useless to
try to locate the vein east of the creek,
but he thought it would surely be found
west of the creek.
The $4,000 voted by the citizens of
Topeka for the purpose of prospecting
for coal could not be used for a better
purpose than boring for this vein. Of
course the city would have to secure an
enabling act before the money could be
used in prospecting outside of the city.
but the legal part of the matter could
easily be adjusted if the proper effort is
made in that direction.
Mr. G. p. Bolmar in speaking of this
matter to a JOURNAL reporter said: Il
represent gentleman who owns a dia-
mOnd drill, complete with all the neces-
sary machinery and 1000 feet Of drill
rod, who Is willing to allow his machin-
cry to be used for the purpose of sinking
hole under my direction, and will 20
down the 1000 feet required to earn the
$4,000 of the city's money for $4,000.
elf company of business men, all
residents of Topeka can be interested in
this matter, this drill can be used and
after the hole is bored and the money has
been earned we Will take $500 for our
services, but il we should not get coal
after going down the required distance,
we are willing to allow the gentleman
who start the matter settle with us on an
agreed price for simply the wear and
tear Of the machinery.
"If some one will take this matter up
we can satisfy ourselves whether there
is coal here or not and the $4,000 can
be earned without any expenditure being
made for machinery"
