 Arizona Citizen: Prof. Blake, in writing the Citizen from Chicago, takes occasion to express the view that the recent discovery of natural coke in abundauce in nearly hori1on- tai beds in the Sonora coalfield is im- mensely important tu Ariznna, and the industries of the whole suuth- west. It promises to give cheap fuel for all purposes, for metallurgical work especially, for the quality is said to he excellent. And it may be used probably to advantage on locomotives and for general steam generation. The occurrence is to be described at the meeting of the mining engineers in San Francisco by Prof Dumble, the dscoyerer, while exploring for account of the Southern Pacific Railroad com- pany.

head and neck between the soldiers
legs just as the pursuer was on the
point of Selling il. Fortunately. the
guard could use his bayonet without
making a disturbance, and he did this
to such good advantage that the pur-
suit was soon ended.
The rescued goose, evidently ami
mated by the liveliest gratitude, rubbed
it's head against its deliverer's legs and
performed various other joyful and kit
ten-like antics. Then, deliberately taxi

post, il walked up and down with the
sentry while he was on duty and thus
accompanied each successive sentry
who appeared to patrol that beat.
About two months later the goose ac-
tually saved the life of its particular
friend in "A very remarkable way. The
soldier was again on duty at the same
place, and on moonlight night when
the moon was frequently obscured by
passing clouds the enemy had formed
plan to surprise and kill him. His
feathered devotee was beside him, an
usual, when he paced his lonely beat,
challenging at every sound and then
standing at ease" before his sentry
box. The goose always stood at ease.

But some undesirable spectators-at
least of the soldiers movements--were
stealing cautiously toward the place
under cover Of the frequen. clouds and
line Of stunted pine trees. Nearer and
nearer TO the post they crawled, till one
of them, with uplifted knife, was about
TO spring on the unsuspecting man.
Then il was that the watchful goose
covered itself with glory by rising un-
expcctedly from the ground and flap
ping its wings in the faces of the would
be assassins. They rushed blindly for.

shooting one of the party and bayonet-
ing another, while the goose continued

The brave bird was at once adopted
by the regiment, under the name OF "Ja-
cob" and decorated with "a gold col
lar on which his name was engraved, in
appreciation of his services. Ever after
during his life OF 10 years, he did sentry
duty at home and abroad, for he was
taken TO England at the close of the war
in Canada and greatly lamented there
when he died. His epitaph reads:
"Died on Duty" and no human senti-
mel could have been more faithful
than poor old Jacob.
