Coal in Ieoutt County.

Even Routt county people are dense
" ignorant of the great resources of
their own county. For instance, tho
editor of the Pilot only few days ago
learned from gentlemen who has
made such subjects a study, that in the
center of the great carboniferous region
in this county, where erosion has not
been too much in evidence, there are
twenty-five seperate and distinct coal
veins which are in three groupes, the
tower group being the only one in evil
dence, on Oak creek and near Saddle
mounain, that being the rim of the great
coal basin. All of these veins may be
seen cropping at several places near Hay
den, at Cross mountain and other places
In the county. In the canon on lower
Bear river the lowest vein crops in the
river bed while the highest crops hun
dreds Of feet above in the canon wall.
In each group there are from three to
ten veins, one at this canon being fifty
feet In thickness. Surely, nature out

and distributed here her treasures with
. prodigality not equalled in any other
section Of the globe.-Steamboat Pilot.
Every word of the above is true; and
It Il also true that Rio Blanco can dupli-

The conditions of the country at the
