coal In MINNESOTA.
I'm .Eleven-Foot Vein Found
at the Big Fork
River. 81 ,s 4

L. W. Aver. of Belle Prairie, who
has spent much of the time for the
past few years estimating timber
and cruising for mineral in the
country about the upper Mississippi
and the Rainy lake region, has be-
come convinced that there were coal
deposits there. The abundance Of
pieces of coal found in the vicinity Of
Winnebogoshish lake left no doubt
in Mr.. Ayers mind about there
being a vein of coal there. Pieces of
coal have been found at various
places, and nearly all the explorers
up there are sure that coal exists IN
large quantities in the district. And
now a report comes Of large vein
being discovered along the Big Fork
river near the Rainy lake district. If
the report should be true, it is one OF
the most important discoveries ever
made in the state. A telegram from
Duluth says:
A party of explorers prospecting
along the Big Fork river near the
Rainy lake district few weeks ago
discovered an outcropping OF ap-
parently excellent coal a short dis
tance from the river. They fol-
lowed the vein northwarl short
distance, uncOvering it as they
proceeded and traced it to
the twaters edge, where from
lack of proper equipment the water
compelled asuspensiOn of operations.
BIT the point to which the coal was
traced the vein had attained 4 thick
ness of eleven feet. Samples OF the
coal were tested in the camp fires
and found to burn freely and to leave
little residue. This discovery Ii
quite important, and it is in direct
opposition to the frequently eX-
pressed opinion Of thesta te geologist
that no coal exists in that region.
1t accounts for the large pieces OF
float coal which have from time to
time been found in and along the Big
Fork River. Samples ut the coal are
now on the way to Duluth for ex-
animation.
