In Arizona q number OF coal con-
panies have begun operations. says The
Black Diamond. Coal has been found
in many places in the territory. nearly
all in the eastern part. Beds of grs.
phitic anthracite coal occur in the
southeastern part, especially in The
Chiricahua range Of mountains. thirty
miles east OF the Southern Pacific rail-
road AT lewiston. In northeastern Ari
zona. in Coconino county. there is an
extensive coal field. the value OF which
has been determined by careful explor,
atoms and tests by competent en-
gineers recently. As az present deter.
mined the area Of these fields is about
40 square miles. The coal is Of a SUI
periOr quality. but a railroad is needed
to connect them with the Santa Fe rail-
way, a distance Of some seventy miles.

WESTINGHOUSE FACE IN STONE
Features Appear in Rocky Wall on
the Boston Post Road.

From the New York Tribune
Where the old Boston post road turns
toward Orienta Point. just south of Ma
maroneck the rock adjoining the old Dis
brow House was blasted away about ff-
teen years ago to improve the grade. A
ragged, rocky wall was left and nothing
peculiar was noticed in it until last An
gust, when the wife of a well-knowu resi-
dent on the point while driving to the VII
lige, suddenly saw the features of Wash
ington in the stone. She looked again and
again, and the more carefully she scrutin
lied the rock the more distinctly she saw
the features Of the father of his country.
The woman told her friends of her dis
covery. and they told others, and within a
month all Orienta Point and most of Ma
maroneck had gazed upon the striking ae
cidental likeness 1t is not all difficult TO
see when one is told it may be found there.
and Is in plain view for a distance of nearly
a hundred yards to within a fourth as
many feet. The image is about six feet
the longest way and about four the other
way across. go
The eyes, nose and mouth are naturally
darker spots in the stone, which being
apparently softer than the remainder of the
mass, broke out to a greater dcpth. SO the
image is there in bas-relief as well "a in
color. The outline of the face is almost
perfectly formed by the edges of the broken
rock. The image is best lighted from III
o'clock until 1890 on sunny days.

time, but the average man does not work
half as hard as the American student and
the education given is undoubtedly far be-
low that OF our chief universities
1t Is commonly said that more study is
required in preparation for Oxford than in
the carrying out of the college course The
requirements are about the same as for the
classical course of Yale. Harvard or Prince
ton Examinations. for instance. may be
taken at home. and IL a boy has a good
foundation in Latin and Greek he gets In
without trouble. After admission he at
tends lectures as closely or as loosely as he
pleases. the only requirement being that he
pass the examination.
Only Half as Much Study as We Have.
The university course of study is prac-
tically only half as long as that of our col
leSes. 1t nominally runs for three years
but each year is divided in half, and
one-haif or it the student spends at hc.ne,
or away from oxford. During ;,is time he
is supposed to be studying by himself, but
this is more superstition than anything else
This leaves three years of six months each,
or eighteen months. for the college course
our colleges require four years of at least
nine months, or thirty-siA months in all.
and IL Is fair to say that the American stu
dent gets In mere hard study iE one month
