i,y The new Moffat railroad. The fol-
,owine article concerning the coal de-
,oSits of that section is therefore of
palne, 1t is taken from the Engineer
ING and Mining Journal of recent date,
and says: go %
The new railroad lire between Dem
vcr and Salt Lake City, which will
nass through Routt county in north
western Colorado, has attracted q
,ry. Its possibilities are great in all
the agricultural lines. but the main
resources, which will receive the
greatest benefit from the construction
of the new line, are without doubt
the coal deposits. Their exploitation,
which is only attempted In a small
way now, in order to supply the local
demand, will receive a great impetus
when the higher grades Of coal can
reach larger market.
%There are extensive deposits Of lig-
fnitic coal of the same quality as that
exploited in the northern coal fields
of the eastern slope of the Rockies in
Lafayette. Erie, Scranton and the
neighboring towns between Golden
and Boulder. AS the output OF these
fields could be easily increased, the
coal fields of the western slope, with
an additional freight over the range,
can be only very poor competitor.
However. the home market will be
largely increased with the advent OF
the railroad and demand could be
created in Utah for this grade OF coal.
But the future of the coal fields of
Routt county is much more in the
tracts of high-grade coal which have
been opened in several localities.
Since the deposition of the coal the
country has been subjected to strong
earth pressure, which has folded up in
long anticlines and synclines the coal
measures with the other formations.
Moreover, the measures have been in
several places cut by dikes and
masses of eruptive rocks, which have
forced their way through. In many
places. by their heat and large out
pouring of steam, they have effected
the transformation of the coal from a
Ignite with large percentage of
volatile matter into bituminous and
coking coal and even into anthracite.
The coal measures in Routt county.
as everywhere else in Wyoming, Col
orado and New Mexico. are found in
the deposits of the Laramie formation.
They belong to the latest part OF the
cretaceous epoch. just before the dawn

sandstones with beds Of shale. The
Laramie formation is from l,20o to l.

PEACE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Good Report Brought by Governor
WRIGHT.


Honolulu. Nov. 1.-The transport
Eumner arrived here October 30th en-
route to San Francisco with Cen. A.
r. ChaRee and Vice Governor Luke e.
Wright of the Philippines on board.
The steamer passed through terrible
experience In \ typhoon soon after
leaving Manila. She lost one OF her
boats and had several damaged, and
for number of hours was In grave
danger.
In an interview published by the
Commercial Advertiser, Governor
Wright had the following to say OF
conditions In the Philippines and
their future:
"The development following the In
auguration Of the civil government Of
the islands have been most satisfac-
tory. We have now civil government
almost everywhere and the people
seem to be learning its advantages.
The system OF provincial and munici-
pal government has worked well. Dur
ing the past year there has not been a
single defalcation and very few thefts.
There is degree OF peace and safe
ty In the Philippines now that was
never reached under the Spanish rule.
The Spaniards used to pay the brig
Ands to keep the peace and we have re-
fused to continue this system. After
the passage of the Philippine bill last
year, we established the insular con-
stabulary and we now have 5000 Of
these police. We find that they are
the best men for tine business and
they have cleared the provinces oflaw-
breakers with great rapidity. The SER
vice is one which appeals to the ma
tiyes, for the police are chosen from
the tribes where they must serve.
THE future of the islands will be a
great one. What are needed most are
railroads and, these may be built soon
by American capital, There is trunk
line on the island of Luzon now under
consideration, and Its building Will
help matters greatly"
The Sumner left Honolulu last Mon
day and is expected to arrive here to-
morrow with Major General Chaffee
and Vice Governor Wright on board.

vein by strong bench OF sandstone a
few feet thick.
On top OF each one Of the three coal
measures is cliff Of hard sandstone
from thirty to fifty feet high.
The area covered by the Laramie
group, as marked on the geological
map Of Colorado. by Hayden. Is much
too small. This map shows q gulch
penetrating soath Of the Bear river,
between Hayden and Steamboat
Springs. The limit between the coal
measures of the Laramie formation
and the other cretaceous deposits be-
low is marked as line directly north
Of Hayden. In reality the eastern
limit Of the coal fields is north-south
line following few miles to the west
the county road between Steamboat
Springs, as shown on map No. 1. That
increases the coal fields by many
thousands of acres.
The coal fields can be subdivided into
four groups. each one having special
characteristics. These are:
The Oak creek coal fields. These oc-
cupy the southeast corner of the coal
deposits and have their outlet towards
Yampa-
second-The Bear river. coal fields
These are well developed in several
mines along the river between Steam
! boat Springs and Hayden. Only the
outcrops easy of access and close to the
road have been developed.
Third-The Williams river noun
tains coal fields. These coal measures
crop in the north-south valleys, or
rather canons, connecting Hayden and
| the Williams River valley. not reaching
either of these two points They are
directly south of Hayden, which is their
| outlet.
The coal of the three fields above
named is lignitic coal, often OF much
| better grade than that of the well-de-
veloped fields of the eastern slope Of
the Rocky mountains. l have seen
piles of large Jumps Of coal, which had
been exposed to the air for several
years, and which had Stacked only a
little. Such coal could support trans
portatiou and long storage.
Fourth-The Pilot Mountain coal
fields. These fields surround the sum-
init of Mount Pilot, which is q mass Of
eruptive andesite, and are characterized
by the presence Of hituMinous coal and
| Of anthracite. The,coal measures out
crop high in the mountdin. in a very
thickly wooded country. with nuEner-
Gus shrubs and high grass, no That.
with the exception of few places
where the creeks have cut their way
through the measures. it is nearly I'M
poss.. ..Sle to follow the outcrops for any
distance. These fields lNe two out
lets. one for the west side of the
mountain, to the southwest towards
Hayden. and another tor the ceal beds
u the .Sastera slpps towards Steamboat
| Springs, along the three forks OF Deer
creek.
The analyses Of the coal show that
the grade ID. very fnr The percentage

never tried any other kind of jars or
bottles, but no doubt there are other
kinds that would be just as good. One
might safely use the same methods as
for canning fruit, except that tin
should never be used. If cider is prop

will keep almost any length of time.
or course, heat causes slight changes
in the flavor, and the deterioration
takes place rapidly when the jars are

not be exposed to the atmosphere, for
any length of time, before being used.

Cider Making.

Cider Making.
In gathering apples for cider, they
are usually shaken from the trees,
picked up and placed in heaps on the
ground where they are allowed to re-
main until the grower has time to
take them to the mill. Much bruising
usually results from shaking apples
off, and if allowed to remain too long
in the orchard, the cider will be of
very poor quality. If the very best
of cider is desired, the apples must
be sorted, and all wormy and partially
rotten ones thrown out. In large or
chards, bruising is prevented by the
use of canvas placed under the trees;
where cider is made on large scale,
it pays. The whole width of the can
vas should never be less than Is feet,
and the safest plan is to have it 80
feet; when this size, an apple seldom
falls outside. The outer edge is held
up, or feet from the ground by
means of stakes When the apples
fall upon the canvas, they roll at once
toward the trunk of the tree, and are
little damage by bruising. If the can
vas is properly made it can be used
for many other purposes. Cider ap-
pies should never be piled directly
on the ground. They are liable to be-
come musty, or at least take on an
earthly flavor which is transmitted
to the cider. If they must be piled in
the orchard for some time, make
bed of straw for them. In most farm
communities, sweet cider is to be had
for only few weeks in autumn. or
course, if one has his own cider-mill,
sweet cider may be had any time after
the apples begin to ripen. AS rule,
however, the average farmer depends
on some one who makes cider for the
neighborhood After coming from
mill of this kind, the cider will remain
sweet for only short time; depend
ent, more or less, upon the weather.
There is now a demand for clear
sparkling sweet cider which retains
the original fruit flavor. Good cider
must be made from fairly well ma
tured apples, free from worms and rot.
Old mills, tainted with pomace, and
with the wooden portion soaked with
vinegar, will not produce. frst-class
cider, as acid ferments will be intro
duced, resulting in a rapid change.
Use clean cloths, watts, presses, etc.,
keeping them clean by scalding at
least once a day. Endeavor to keep
the cider from coming in contact with
the heterogeneous, which are in old
pumace around most cider mills. II
these get into the cider, fermentation
begins at once, and it will be impos-
sible to completely check it. Fer
mentation is more rapid when the at
mosphere is humid and the temper
ature hibh. Consequently, cider is
to delay making until late in the fall,
