PHOENIX COAL PROSPECT.

1t is reported that the Southern Pa
cific Company, which has been max
ing extensive exploration on coal
prospect near Phoenix, has abandoned
the work as yalueless. A tunnel was
driven in on the ledge 400 feet. In the
face of the tunnel, where work was
stopped, there was a mixture of coal
and slate Of no particular value. As
this formation had prevailed for some
time further exploration was not
deemed warranted, and the company
decided 10 quit The company will
now do some development work on
some coal prospects in Meadows
country north Of Gold Hill. Explora-
tion will first be made by drilling.
