in Clackamas county, that portion oI
the county is likely in the near fu
ture to prove one Of the greatest

country. F. c. Barstow. OF that place
has a sample OF coal which he says
has been taken from a ledge just un
earthed on his claim. which he claims
to have been looking for for the past
10 months.
The sample that he showed was al.
most pure carbon. and was as fine
a specimen OF the black diamond
as can be found anywhere between
the two oceans. According TO his
story the vein is from six 10 ten feet
thick and shows every indication Of
being permanent
II has long been known that there
are fine prospects for coal in that
section, and many samples OF coal

The coal deposits oil the county were

1883 stock was bred almost exclusive

not support a greater number, but
range products have increased a mil
