COAL LANDS.

For three years past it has been
known that coal cropped out of
different lodges on Bilou creek
IL miles northeast of Elbert. Lit.
tie attention has been paid the
matter, consequently no develop.
nent work has ever been done by
anyone TO wee whether the coal was
OF sufficient quantity and quality
to insure u remuneration, and the
fact, too, that the veins are on
government land has had a ten
dency to retard thorough inves-
hgation, but if ever located would
probably have to be entered as
mineral land, which may be the
means of undevelopment for sever
al years to come, as homesteaders
and others who now days plan out
and make for themselves home
do 30 from farming standpoint
and are not able TO locate and
develop coal lands. Their livli>
hood Is gained from tilling the
soil and to this end do they work.
During tho winter of '95 and
'96 one or two loads of this coal
was brought to Elbert, but being
of an inferior quality and contain
ing much slate, little thought was
given it. 1t was simply the out
groupings or covering to which
has now proven good vein Of
oily coal and has become known
throughout the eastern part of the
county as an excellent fuel. Sew
eral loads have been hauled into
Elbert this winter and parties who
have burned it say that it makes
hot fire and is quick to ignite.
People living near Fondis and in
that neighborhood have used it
until the vein has been uncovered
quito extensively.
The only serious drawback to
future development of coal veins
in the Bijou valley is the distance
fiom a railroad, which would be
necessary. But it is said that
"necessity is the mother of inven-
tion," and if coal in paying
quantity and good quality can be
mined in Elbert county there will
be a way of transportation pro-
vided, and thus another resource
will be added to the county and
the Great Divide.

KILLED WHILE
HUNTING.

The Denver News of Monday
has the following in regard 10 The
death of Hon. Frank T. Cochrsne:
"Hon. Frank T. Cochrane, for
two years q member of the Colo
RADIO senate, was accidently killed
yesterday while hunting near
Cebolla, in the southern part Of
the state. Cebolla is some dis
tance from the railroad, Sapinero
being the nearest telegraph station.
Mr.. Cochrane left Denver q few
days ago on his trip and the tele-
gram is the first word received
from him.
"Mr. Cochrane was formerly a
cattle man and had his headqusr-
tiers Gown the Platte from Denver
at Island station. Somewhere
about 1870 he commenced opera
tions and kept increasing his hold
ings until 1880, when be closed
up his business and sold his herds.
In 1880 he was elected to the
senate, being from the Ninth
district, comprising Arapahoe,
Elbert and Bent counties. He
served four years as "6Oat''
senator and was then elected for q
full term from Arapatoc county.
At the close of his second term be
retired, and has since lived quietly
in Denver, not being public in
public affairs. He had gained
large acquaintance among the old
timers in the city, and his death
will be a matter Of personal re
gret to many"
The Denver Times says that
Mr.. Cochrane accidently killed
himself. Mr.. Cochrane, along
with a party of several, was hunt
ing near Cebolld, a small station
in Gunnison county. They bad
been hunting ON Sunday afternoon
and all had come in witt
the exception of Cochrane. Hii
continued absence caused alarm
and a searching party went out e
look for him. He was found dead
with a Winchester bullet hole IN
his side. The ball bad passed
diagonally through his body, COM
ing out at the shoulder. He leaves
widow and an 1S-year-old
daughter.

MR.. BISHOP BURIED.

The funeral of Oliver Ii. Bish-
on, who died at his home near
Monument December 7th, occurred
last Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Bishop was one Of the pio-
neers, having been a resident OF
the divide for twenty years. He
was 4 farmer and but few weeks
ago all his ranch buildings were
destroyed by fire. The loss,
coming in his old age, doubtless
hastened his death. He was born
in Ohio IS years ago; served four
years in the civil war and was in
four Of the hardest fought battles.
The funeral sermon was
preached by Rev. Doyle; c. F.
Colman Post No. 81, G. A. r. !,
conducted services at the ceme-
terry. Mr.. Bishop leaves large
family of grown sons and daugh~
ters. His son, Albert j. Bishop,
of Colorado Springs, is now in a
serious condition, the result of an
experience in the recent cold spell.
At the time of his fathers death
he came to Monument on train
and Immediately set out to walk
TO the ranch, eleven miles distant.
1t was night and the weather was
bitter cold. On reaching his des'
tination he fell exhausted at the
door, benumbed and frozen. Ht

the effects of freezing.-Castlt

have already been staked and peo-
pie are flocking there in carload
lots.
The site Of the location is in the
Greenhorn range of mountains,
possibly 40 miles west of Pueblo
and only few miles from Canon
City and Florence. The Copper
King lode has been working for a
number Of years, the owners name
being Dawson, hence the name of
the camp. 1t is common talk in
newspaper circles that the Dawson
brothers have refused 800, 900
offer for the Copper King. Tho
mineral is gold-bearing, mixed
with some copper.
Whether the discovery will
prove of any consequence remains
to be seen; but already the typical
western mining store and other
business enterprises that "spring
up in a night" have made their
appearance in the camp, and in a
few weeks where once could be
seen nothing but barren and un-
inviting rock will be erected
houses, and possibly, like Creede
in its halcyon days, it will "be

MURBAR GER THE WINNER
DEFEATS HALE IN TWO SUCCESSIVE
WRESTLING BOUTS.
The Empire Theater Contest Long
Drawn Out-Ffrst Bout Lasted
Fifty-Seven Minutes.

Sam, Murbarger defeated Herb Hale in
the wrestling match last night at the Empire
Theater, winning the first two falls Muir
"Lenny'' Ziezer and Jimmy" Blackwell
seconded Hale. The match was to have be-
gun at 1880 o'clock, but on account of the
delay in securing a referee the men did not
come on the mat until 1l:2O. The referee
agreed on by both parties was a Mr.. Bow
ser. Murbarger weighed in at 1451s pounds
and Hale at 14615. Time having been called
they spent a few minutes in trying for a
hold before Murbarger sent Hale to the mat.
Then Murbarger tried for hammerlock but
missed it, both men regaining their feet.
After trying for nearly ten minutes to get
hold Hale went down by a leg tackle.
Murbarger tried for crotch hold and half
Nelson, but failed. In a minute or SO he
tried for the same hold again. but missed,
both men getting to their feet. Both were
now playing very cautious. Murbarger got
Hale down by a double leg hold and tried
for crotch hold and a half- Nelson but
hale was too clever to be caught. Murbar-
ger did the same thing again a few minutes
later but failed in his try for a half-Nelson.
Ihey Kept this up for some time, Murbarger
throwing Hale by leg holds and trying for
crotch and half-Nelsons. AT last Murbarger
made his point and slowly but surely forced
HaleS shoulders to the mat. The time of
the bout was fifty-seven minutes. After a
short time for resting they came on the mat
for their second bout at 1890 o'clock. They
tried for holds for a few minutes and then
Murbarger threw Hale with a hammerlock
securing the decision. The time of the sec
called TO the footlghts and responded with
short speeches.
