BIG VEIN or COAL
Discovered Fourteen Miles
East on Central.
OvER2,7oO ACRES LEASED
Harry Widows Bores Into a
3 IL Foot Vein.

Mr.. Harry widows, who resides four
teen miles east on Central avenue, was
in the city last night and says that he
has discovered a three and one-half foot
vein of coal at a depth Of eighty feet.
So strong Is he in the belief that he has
struck q rich vein that he has leased
2,70O acres Of land In the vicinity and
will at once begin TO develop the hnd.
Mr.. widows Is interested with another
gentleman who lives at FL Dorado, and
their original intention was to bore for
gas. The work was commenced few
weeks ago and has progressed very sat
lsfactorily with the modern boring and
drilling machine they are using. When
Mr.. widows reached q depth Of about
seventy feet he noticed peculiar color
OF dirt and mineral coming from the
drill. The color kept getting deeper and
richer, and when depth OF eighty feet
was reached Mr.. widows found that he
was drilling into coal. He being an ex-
pert at locating coal mines in the east In
an early day. at once recognized what
he had got into. and Immediately set
about to secure lease on the ground.
Mr.. widows has located coal and min
eral lands in the east for many years
until he came west. He has located six
teen mines in Ohio. eight in Indiana and
many in the virginias. He has Dored for
both coal and gas in this state, and is
pretty well satisfied with what he has
discovered where he Is working now. The
coal coming in dust-like formation from
the drill is a medium hard grade and Is
said to be superior to the Usage coal.
The finding of such a splendid vein Of
coal as Mr.. widows reports so close to
Wichita will be a big thing for this city
and will give the city cheap fuel. 1t Is
understood that the prospecting for gas
will go ahead, and there are splendid in
dications of gas In the vicinity OF Mr..
Widows present plant.
Whether or not Mr.. widows will en-
deaver to interest capital in the develop
ment OF his find Is not known.

lines will reach it. Work is already well
under way on the line down the river

been let for the construction of the more
desirable Weiser river route. We say
more desirable because, while the river
route will eventually be extended down

Seven Devils mines it will be fully five
thousand feet below them and necessi-

Rocky Butte Quartz.

Good reports were received to- daY by
George d. Smith from the Rocky Butte
quartz claim down on the reservation
north of Cottonwood The existence of
this ledge has been known ever since the
first settlement of the country, thirty
eight years ago; but owing to the fact
that it was on the sacred limits of the In
dian reservation it has been forbidden
fruit to the white man although many a
prospector has had his eve on it with the
intention of locating when the reserve
was opened.
1t remained, however, for J. l.. Eckert.
George d. Smith and A. w. darlington
to do the locating, and the fact that they
have not been idle, and did not take it
up for speculative purposes is apparent
by the active work they have done in the
past and are now pushing. They have
shaft down OH the ledge to depth of
us feet through ore all the way, and are
now drifting west on the ledge, having
progressed to distance of thirty seven
feet. The ledge is very strong and of
solid, good-looking quartz the entire
width of the tunnel. They are following
the hanging wall, and have not yet cross
cut to determine its width, but so far it
is five feet wide, with no footwall in
sight. The formation is at present so
hard, that one day last week two men
only succeeded in making one foot OF
progress. The owners will push the tun-
mel from the shaft another 100 feet
