lF'rom The Herald Correspondence
Provo, Dec. 2L-W. W. Cuff. of Coal
Vile, has just returned from the new
coal fields near Sunnyside, on the line
of the Rio Grande Western railway.
He reports the discovery of an i'm
mense body Of coal, which is of great
value because it possesses the qualities
requisite for coking. If this proves TO
be what the company which has been
formed have reason TO believe, it Will
bring this coal into immediate use at
the coke ovens at Castle Gate.
George Q. Cannon has been made
president of the new company and the
final steps have been taken to make
their claim to the property secure. The
body Of coal discovered is in a heavy
strata, which has been thrown in an
incline position by some freak Of ma
ture in ages past. It crops out near
the top of the mountains lying east of
Sunnyside and is tapped in a ravine
from the east side. AS they sink down
the coal becomes better and it looks
as though the supply was ineXhaust
ible.
Mr.. Cuff states that it is the inten-
ton of the Rio Grande Western to
extend their line to the properties, as
it will cut off the necessity of bringing
this class of coal from Colorado.
Several charts were shown which in
dictate that the new company have
pretty well covered all the territory
where this deposit is located.

Maneuvers of Mortgagers to Escape
Taxation-Notes.

TaXat1On-NOteS.
Springville, Dec. 21.-At a meeting of
the city council some time ago, George
B. Matson, a wealthy farmer, appeared
and asked that the taxes on certain
mortgage held by himself and one Da-
Wis, in the amount of 1000, be RENTED,
as he had paid his share of it before.
The request was granted, and the tax
RENTED. Last night Councilman Hall
moved reconsideration of this, as he
claimed investigation showed that Mat
son had made a false statement and
that the mortgage in question was not
the one claimed, but another on which
he was endeavoring to avoid paying
taxes.
This matter calls to mind the effort
of another we'll known citizen to avoid
payment of taxes on a 5000 mortgage,
which resulted in the loss of 5000. It
seems that this latter individual, who
held mortgage against house and
lot, on learning that it would be taxed,
went over to Provo and quietly released
the mortgage; afterward, desiring to
press the payment of it, he made the
discovery that he was powerless in the
matter and also short 5000 in the deal.
