COAL AND TIMBER
Resources of Rio Blanco County
--Both Interests Here in Be-
wildering Abundance.

considerable inquiry has been reach
ing this office, as well as private in
dlViduals, for some time past regarding
The extent, quality and quantity of our
coal measures.
10 state in reply that in extent the
heid is almost limitless would not be
an exaggeration, and that as to quality
IL is OF the very best found in Colorado.
AT Meeker and vicinity the bulk of the
coal is of fine grade of the bituminous
variety and is an excellent article for
domestic or steam purposes. Good cox
ing coal is also found in this vicinity.
Inc great hogback belt, which begins
at New Castle and continues to Meeker
at which point it takes a sharp turn to
the northeast, is exposed along its entire
distance and will be easily accessible
to tie track of the proposed White
River Valley railroad.
This immense belt continues, as stated
above, in an northeasterly direction on
into the northeastern end of Routt
county where it ends in the largest body
of anthracite coal in Colorado, and is
nearly all open to location at the uni.
form government rate of $40 per acre
where the land is situated more than
fifteen miles from any completed rail
road, and $50 per acre where the land
is within fifteen miles of such road.
The price of the land, however, must be
determined by its distance from a COM
pleted railroad at the date of payment
and entry irrespective Of the preference
right of entry.
AS the railroad is sure to be built now
is the time to get hold OF these very de-
sirable coal lands at the lowest govern
ment price. Coal is always safe and
sure investment.
AS the hills and hat-tops east and
south Of Meeker are covered with
dense growth Of white and yellow pine
of the finest quality and various other
varieties of good building timber, lum-
Der for all purposes is right at hand and
can be had manufactured at very low
rates
The only drawback to our coal and
timber resources, viewed from local
standpoint, lies in the fact that both are
here in such vast quantities that very
little value is attached to either. With
the advent of the railroad this will all
be changed.

The White River Road.

The advantages Of the construction of

that the road will be finished by Octo-

The construction Of this railway Is of
considerable Importance to northwest

fifty miles, opens up large agricultural
and grazing country. The White and
Yampa river valleys are noted for their
agricultural products, there being no
railroad within reach Of market nearer
than New Castle. Very little attention
has been paid to the raising Of grain or
vegetables for the purpose OF market
Ing, but the people have confined them
selves TO hay for the feeding Of stock.
With the advent Of the railroad, at
tentlon will be paid to the growing OF
such products as will find a ready OUT
aide market. The extent Of the cattle
raising throughout the counties OF Rio
Blapco, Routt and Garfield Is OF such
nature. alone, that 1t invites the build

More of the Haley Case.

The injunction case, where Ora Haley
restrained the sheriff from collecting
the judgments against him, was heard
in Glenwood Springs last week before
Judge Rucker. Mr.. McClelland moved
to dissolve the injunction. Mr.. Haley
was represented by Mr.. Hughes Of Den
YER, who vigorously resisted the aprlica-
tion. Thursday evening, at the close of
the arguments, Judge Rucker promptly
dissolved the injunction and removed
the case to Routt county for final hear
ing. This will permit the collection Of
the judgments and bring our tax cases
back home where the people can see
what Is being done. Steamboat Pilot.

We are advised that the Haley cases
against the county have been with
drawn. Attorney McClelland is in
possession Of telegram sent by Mr..
Haley to Attorney Hughes OF Glen

prosecution and settle costs. .-Steamboat

New York, September 2S.-Although
the championship season in this city
does not come to an end until Monday,
the destination of the pennant of 1895
was decided by the result of this after
Moons contest between the New Yorks
and Baltimores. The Orioles won the
game to-day and the pennant in the
seventh inning on a combination of hits
and errors. If ever nine ball players
worked hard 70 keep the question of the
pennant in doubt another day il was
the New Yorks. They played at all
stages, but still the Orioles were too
fast for them. Jennings really won the
game himself, his phenomenal catch Of
Batton's fly in the eighth inning when
two were on bases, in which he COM
pleted a double play unassisted, was all
that prevented the Giants tieing the
