The following is from the driIler of
the we'll in which coal Was said to
have been struck at Heron Lake.
We are pleased to publish anything
that will prove the rumor alluded to
incorrect and confirm the reported
existence of coal in that locality:
Iwish to state through the col.
umns of the ADVANCE that the article
published July 22nd, referring to the
vein of coal that was struck near
Heron Lake, was incorrect.
The coal was not struck by the
outfit that attempted to put down an
artesian we'll at Worthington. We
did not strike any rock we couldn't
go through, nor was any coal put
down the we'll. We did not cease
work when we discovered the coal
but continued drilling until a plenti
full supply of water was reached.

The Congregational church mem.
bers held meeting last week Friday
evening at their church to consider a
proposition made them by the Pres
byterian church for uniting the two
bodies into one that would be large
and strong. The attendance was
large, and some members forwarded
their desire by proxy. Avote result
ed in unanimous decision to still
remain as they are at present.
Thus the two bodies will continue
to labor, separated in organization
but united in the work of christianity
with the same object in view, and
will continue to work and dwell in
peace and harmony in the future as
in the past. The following is one o1
the many comments made on the
question by various exchanges
''Such consolidation would be q

the greater good could be accom-,

iCLONDYKE,
Interesting Letter From Rock
County Boy Who is now in the
Famous Gold Fields Of Alaska.

The Herald is indebted to Presi-
dent John Kelley for the following
letter which he received a few days
ago from Tom McDermott, who, in
company with the Butler boys, of
Ellsworth, started for Alaska early in
May:
Dawson City, Northwest terri
tory, June 19.-We arrived here last
night, or rather this morning, at
1880 a. m. without a scratch or any
very hard struggles. 1t was the most
exciting trip I ever experienced.
Game of all kinds, ducks, geese,
moose and bear are plentiful along
the lakes and rivers. There is also
plenty Of fish, but we ran too fast to
catch any or shoot any game except
one goose. We made the best time
of any boat that came down yet.
We came through four very danger
Gus places, the Canon and White
House on the Fifty Mile river, being
the worst. But we came through
like charm. It would take me all
day to describe my trip all through,
SO I'll wait until [ get home to do
that.
There was big gold find on the
Hendron river as we came by and
five of our party went up and staked
out claims, so [ am interested in a
gold mine in Alaska.
The wages here are all the way
from SIS to $25 per day and it costs
about $1.7O day for board. This
is good country for any one, once
they get here, but it is very danger
Gus, disagreeable, and tiresome to
make the trip. If I had any friends
who are thinking Of coming here I
should advise them to stay away.
A great many turn back when half
way here. A fellow must have pluck,
grit and patience to get through
Don't be disappointed if you don't
hear from me often, as there is no
way of getting mail out with any
regularity.
I am chief cook and bottle washer
for one boat. Our party consisted
of twelve, and we had two boats
We leave them here and walk to Dick
Buffers camp, which is II miles from
this place. We each will take l0(
pounds on our backs and strike out
There is boat which leaves here
in short time for the states that has
over two ton of gold on board.
Dick Butler was offered $4,000 fo1
one of his claims since he got here
and refused it. He has four claims
of his own, and is interested in severa
others.
Dawson City is a great town. i
consists oftents and: log houses4scat
tered all over, and a population O
200 at present, but people are com
ing in by the dozen every day.
I'm nice looking fellow now, TO-
I've got whiskers. ] haven't mad'
up my mind, yet, where to spend tn.

The framework of the platform has a
board nailed on each side of it. form

timbers at each end of the wall. This
makes it rigid and keeps it

platform represent openings for yes

over which the rope passes to the wind
lass, is prolonged so that when the
platform is just even with the top of
