TO START NEW MINE
J.GC. Devin May Develop Goal Re
sources on His Land.
OWNS THE OLD LUMSDON PROPERTY
Is Prospecting for Coal and Will Prob
ably Remove to This City and Give
His Attention to Extensive Mining
Enterprise.

If prospecting now being done near
Ottumwa proves satisfactory, another
large mine or groupe of shafts will be
added to Wapello county's already
large number of coal producing locali-
ties. James G. DeVin, of Des Moines,
who formerly resided here and who
owns the property now leased by the
Wapello club on East Second street,
is in the city, and is prospecting for
coal on his property near the plant CT
the Ottumwa Brick and Construction
company. The Lumsdon Coal company
had shafts there for some years, and
the quality Of the coal was very good,
and it seems that MI. Devin has decid-
ed to use the land himself. 1t is known
that he is making arrangements for
conducting a mine, and that he con-
templates removing to this city from
Des Moines and making Ottumwa his
permanent place of residence.
Efforts on the part of Courier rep
resentative to see Mr.. Devin today
were unavailing, and it cannot be
learned how extensive he intends to
make his coal mining venture. This
probably depends largely upon the re-
suits of the prospecting now in pro-
gress. There is every reason why
this should be a paying mine if the
coal is found in great enough quantity,
as the mines are located near the city
and the Milwaukee railroad tracks.
Mr. Devin has been in Ottumwa a
great deal recently, and returned to
this city yesterday after short stay
at Des Moines. He spends much time
on his farm superintending the pros
pecting for coal. He is well known
by Ottumwa business men, and if he
decides to make this city his home
again he will be cordially received. He
formerly lived here but in late years
he has resided in Paris and recently
at Des Moines.

A GUARD CHANGE.
Adjutant General of the United States
to Introduce Bill.

Adjutant General of the United States
to Introduce a Bill.
A copy of the proposed bill which
the adjutant general of the various
states will urge congress to pass ear
ly in its coming session has been dis
tributed in military circles in this CT
ty. The bill provides for the merging
of the National Guard of the United
States into United States military
reserve. Guardsmen who have seen
the bill and investigated its contents
appear to be heartily in favor of it,
and local guardsmen hope to see it
become law.
The bill has been drawn up by Brig
adler General Whiteman, adjutant
general of New Mexico 1t embodies
a number of new features whoch meet
the approval of the adjutants general
of the country. Features of the pro-
posed measure were discussed at the
last annual meeting of the adjutants
general of the different states, and al
that time the adjutant general from
Iowa and the one from New Mexico
found themselves of the same mind
as to the prospective measure.
In case congress adopts this meas
ure it will work most important
changes to the National Guard of 10
wa and of the other states as well
There seems reason to expect it will
be passed, as the adjutants genera
will work earnestly for it, and will
have the backing Of leading regular
army officers. Adjutant General BY
lers Of Iowa will leave, for Washington

December is to attend the annual
meeting of the adjutants general and
to join with others in urging the
adoption of the bill by congress-
While the proposed measure would
leave to the states and territories the
manner of enlisting, recruiting and
organizing, the United States reserve
the appointment of commissioned and
non-commissioned officers. No officer
would be permitted to receive COM
mission without having passed a sat
isfactory examination. An important
feature of the new measure is that
each person enlisting must take an
oath to serve both his state or terrific
ny and the United States, when au-
thorized by congress, may call into
the service of the United States any
of the organized reserves of each state
and territory.
1t is provided the governors may
cause parts of the state organization
to go into the United States service
in company, troop, battalion, squadron
or regimental bodies.
According to the bill the expense of
arming, clothing and equipping the
reserve shall be borne by the United
ptdlSo. ChpSllGC VI VI sooiilLihSo
the reserve, providing armories, sub
sistence, drill grounds, practice ranges
and pay of officers and men, when in
the service of the states, shall be paid
by them.
The measure. if adopted, will clothe
the President and congress with large
powers as to increasing the force of
the reserve in the several states, as
the eXigencies of the service may re-
quire. The bill provides the aggre-
gate force of enlisted men in the or
gained reserve in any state or terri
tory armed, uniformed and equipped
in time of peace shall not be less than
two nor more tnan four per 1000 of
the population. No limit is placed,
however, on the increase that may be
made by the President under authori-
ty of congress. Provision is made for
equipping the reserve with modern
magazine rifles and carbines of cali
Der, 80 the same as now used by the
regular troops.

things, he could have left part of

RAPID TRANSIT.

Few people without stopping for
a moment to consider it in detail,
realize what are the benefits to be
derived from the Florence street
railway now in course of construc-
ton. There is every possibility
that the present system as now
surveyed, will be but the first step
toward an interurbau system of ex-
tensive dimensions. Colorado
Springs is soon to have a motor
line to Pueblo on the south and
Denver on the north An electric
line from Canon to Florence, thence
to the Springs, or to Pueblo or a
line direct to each of the latter
place would prove paying propo-
sition. The rural districts of the
eastern and middle states are vefi-
table networks of interurban cleo
trio lines, and Colorado will not be
far behind the procession. OF
course it remained for Florence to
take the initiative, because Flor
ence generally keeps something
doing.
Just keep your eye on the street
railway.
