Our citizens, grasping the situation, and knowing that the coal fields north of here afford inducements for railroad held a short meeting at the court house yesterday afternoon and ap- pointed Al Doyle to go to those fields and secure specimens of coal, which will be coked, and if proven to be what many claim it is, no doubt it will act as a powerful factor in getting MT Clark to build a road through to these coal deposits-Flagstaff Gem.

 Some time ago Frank Johnston and Fred Coleman, both well known in this city, were prospecting in Cave creek in the Huachuca mountains, and acci- dentally found an old dump and tun- neI which showed evidences of not hav- ing been worked for many years. The tunnel ran in about forty feet, when it turned to the left about twenty feet when it opened into large cave. The boys built two ladders and succeeded in going down to a small projection, from which place they discovered the bottom of the cave to be filled with water. Being of somewhat venture some minds, they built a raft large enough tC carry them and began an exploration of the underground lake. On one side they found a few copper stains. They worked here a few days but could find nothing to justify fur ther work, so they went on to the end of the cave and found another copper streak; this they followed through about five feet of lime when they open ed up a large body of rich copper ore the whole face of the drifS being in good ore. Tibe hoys have for the pres ent stopped work, and are now figuring on running a tunnel from below to tap the lake so as to draw off the water and prosecute work Cn their claim Development of this property will be watched with interest.-Bisbee Orb.
