VEIN CONSIDERED
BEST IN THE STATE.

The Laramie correspondent of the
Denver News sent that paper the fol-
lowing for its issue of Wednesday:
Word was brought to this city this
morning that the Monarch Coal COM
pany has struck a vein which is o n
sidered to be the pest in the state.
They had not got through the vein
yesterday so aid not know how thick
it would be. Coal from surface crop
pings has been brought in here from
this vein, which is on Cooper creek,
forty miles northwest of Laramie, for
the last twenty years and has been
pronounced a superior article. but the
long haul made it impossible to COM
pete with the Union Pacific prices.
With the vein Of rich coal the COM
pany now has and the railroad they
expect to build in to Laramie from the
mine in the spring, manufacturers and
ordinary consumers expect to have
first-class fuel at a greatly reduced
price"

SECTIONS
SURVEYED AND LOCATED FOR OIL
IN THE BULL HILL DIS
TRlcT RECENTLY.
More Than a Thousand Acres Filed
Upon BY w. r. West for His Asso-
ciates-That Gentleman Gone to
Denver on a Mysterious Mission
Talk Of Local Drilling Company.

The oil fever will not down. In fact
1t grows from day to day, and there is
more excitement today than there was
Yesterday and more that day than on
the day before. Men are rushing to the
different localities where oil is believ.
ed to exist below the surface and are
locating land as rapidly as they can get
the notices prepared and posted.
W. r. West. representing a syndi-
cate, has filed upon two sections Of
land near Bull hill. A. r. Waldo and
b A. Buck, who were out to survey the
tract. returned last night, having com
pieted their work and filed notices for
Mr.. West upon the tract. Just where
it is located neither of the gentlemen
will tell, but they say that develop
msnts will be made in a few days.
They all pronounce the shale found on
the tract to be very encouraging, and
profess to believe that oil will be found
by the drill.
Mr.. West left today for Denver and
Pueblo. and those close to him say his
visit to the Colorado metropolis means
the development Of the properties he
has just filed upon. He would not dis
cuss the matter except to say that the
Denver gentlemen who took the lease
on the Haley tract and who located a
thousand acres Of railroad land south
of the city are quite enthusiastic, he
himself being greatly impressed with
the outlook at Bull hill, where the two
sections have been surveyed and locat-
ed upon.
Citizens who have lived here for
years. and who have ample capital,
have announced, it is said. their readi-
ness to contribute $500 each to a fund
to sink a well in or near the city, and
Il is believed a company is now being
formed to begin work. Four men are
said to have agreed to the $500 propo-
sition, and others will come in II the
matter is started.
Mr.. Woodhave. one of the Denver
gentlemen interested in the location
adjoining the Van Buskirk tract south
Of the city, says the formation there
on the surface is as favorable as the
Florence field on the surface, II not
more so, and a few years ago no n
would have had the moral courage to
have suggested the presense of oil in
some of the Colorado fields about
which there is now so much excite
ment.
Even the Beaumont field in Texas. 1t
is pointed out, was sneered at for
years, and the presence OF oil vas dis
covered by a sort Of chance, helped out
by the Observation-Disclosures of one or
two men. who kept their drill going
amid the taunts and jeers OF their Gre
dulous neighbors.
one fact Is certain-the Laramie
plains field is going to be tested for oil,
and many men assert that 1t will be
found in not only the Haley land and
the land to the south Of us, but in many
other sections. and that the coming
summer will see a great deal of activi-
ty here, with some phenomenal finds
in oil gas and coal,

Commodor SehIey's Part in the Battle

Washington. Feb. Pot was a cap
taih's battle and the credit for the
victory belongs first to Admiral Samp
son, who planned and bore the re
sponsibtlity of the engagement. anc
next to Commodore Schley and the
other officers of the fee who handled
the ships and the guns. AdmiraI
Sampson was not present at the bat
tie. but no other officer assumed com
mand or directed the American forces
beyond maneuvering the ship on which
he stood, and therefore the credit must
be apportioned according to the rank
and responsibility of the officers en-
gagged. Commodore Schley's part in
the battle was confined to the opera
tons Of Brooklyn, and this was a cred
liable part, except the loop of that
ship. which was a mistake. Commo-
dore schley's mistakes while indie,

ron In May, such as the dilatory opera,
lions. the retrograde movement, the
disobedience of orders, and the mac.
curate and misleading reports, had
been condoned by the Mckinley ad-
minlstration and need not be reviewed,
though there is no reason for revers-
ing the verdict of the court of inquiry
concerning them"
The foregoing is an accurate sum-
mary Of President Roosevelt's judg-
ment on the Schley case in the battle
Of Santiago. in response to the appeal
of Admiral Schley from the find
ings Of the naval court Of inquiry.
Most Of the presidents judgment is
confined to the battle of Santiago. He
has gone into that with extraordinary
care. Assuming that the question Of
command in that engagement and the
credit to be given the various officers
who participated in 1t is the question
Of real importance 10 the public as
we'll as to the navy, the president had
sought every ource of information
concerning the actual conduct Of ev-
cry move made by every ship, every
gun that was fired, every shot that
took effect, every signal that was dis
played. and in his written judgment
these facts are set forth in great de-
tail. In this part of his work he was
aided by his training as a naval execu-
tive, and also by his experience as a
naval historian.
The presidents conclusions as to
the battle is that it was not fought in
the popular acceptation of that term
by any one oficer. 1t was a captains
battle. After the engagement begun.
with the appearance of the enemy at
harbor's mouth, the battle was
wholly n Of individual ships. The
technical commander was too far away
to be able to exercise any influence
upon the engagement through the par
ticipation Of his flagship or through
the display Of signals. But he was the
responsible oficer in command Of the
fleet. and the battle began under his
standing orders to close in and attack
at the mouth of the harbor. Almost
Immediately the enemy broke through
the blockading line and ran to the
westward, and all the American ships
