one thousand feet long, eight feet
or more in width, seventy-five
feet high for 600 feet, and nearly
200 feet high the remaining 400
feet. The width is estimated at
four feet for the reason that the
work is all four feet wide, and
while following along the hanging
wall, the work in no place reaches
the foot-wall but wherever crosscut
is eight feet wide or more. So the
proved ore body is more than eight
feet wide. (The hanging wall
pitches east at an angle of about
eighty degrees). Now then meas
uring the ore body as developed
1t is in part 600x75x4 feet, which
aggregates $4,000 cubic feet. The
rest is 40Ox200x4 feet, sggregat-

total of 100000 cubic feet Of pay

PROVED ORE BODY,
with the connections made that
will be done within a few days
when the lower tunnel reaches the
third shaft. Now the average
weight of ore in the vein is put by
all authorities at thirteen cubic
feet per ton, But for safety's sake
this Will be estimated at fifteen feet
per ton. Upon that basis we have
in that proved ore body no less
$4,000 tons OF pay rock, and as
much more as the ledge may prove
to be wider than eight feet. The
average OF actual tests has been

To Reduce Force In Cuba.

General Randolph. chief OF artillery,
has recommended to the Secretary OF
War that four companies OF artillery
now doing duty in Cuba be brought
back to the United States and assign
cd to service at Portland in connection
with the joint maneuvers to be held
next summer. Should Secretary Root
adopt the recommendation, this will
mean reduction OF the force OF the
United States soldiers in the island to
about 500
These troops we're left in Cuba for
the purpose OF manning the artillery
deienses OF the island until the new
Government organized an efficient force
OF its own. Reports received from
Cuba indicate that under the careful
instruction OF American officers the Gu
bans are now rapidly getting in such
shape that it will be no longer neces-
sary for the American soldiers to stay
there to take care OF their guns and
show them how they should be handled.
The eight companies OF coast artil
lery now stationed in Cuba are distrib-
uted at Havana, Santiago and Cieniuc-
gos, but should the proposed reduction
take place the remainder will probably
be distributed to the new naval stations
at Guantanamo and Bahia Honda.

BILLION DOLLAR COAL FIND
A Great Discovery of Anthracite in the
Wyoming Region.
COMPRISES TWO THOUSAND ACRES.
viii Give Work, II Is Estimated, TO 5000 Men
for 200 Years-The Marketable Value at the
Present Time Is More Than $1,000, ,000, 600
Altogether About 3Oo.oOo,Ooo Tons Can Be
Mined.

Wilkes Barre. Pa. (Special) Veins
that indicate the greatest discovery of
anthracite coal in Pennsylvania since the
first general discovery was made have
just been uncovered by the Lehigh and
WilkesBarre and the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Companies near this
city.
Two boreS, one of 1000 and the other
of 1900 feet, have been completed. They
passed through % veins, one Of which is
a continuation OF the celebrated Mann
moth vein of the Hazleton district
Eleven veins not previously marked on
the geological maps of the State were
among the ~ pierced, and these lie
closely from so to 100 feet below the sur
face The other veins arc deeper.
The discovery was made at a point
three miles below this city. The district
comprises an area of more than 1000
acres. reaching from the river to Sugar
Notch and Warrior run. 1t is the hig-
est point in the basin where a bore has
ever been started, the next highest being
at Askam. several miles away.
Of the upper veins in the first 700 feet
OF the boring the experts knew nothing,
although they discovered indications
some time ago that there was coal there.
The borings have been conducted
secretly.
The fact of chief interest directly in
the region is that enough coal has been
found to give work to COCO men for 200
years. The marketable value at the pres
ent price is more than $1,000, 100000. 1t
is estimated that there would be, if all
the veins were put together, about $50
feet OF coal spreading the whole width
of the basin in that part, making alto
gether about 3oo,ooo,coo tons. The esti-
mate is that it now costs about ST. so to
produce ton of coal and put it on the
track ready to send to market, and at
that rate the men who mine the tract will
earn about $4,000. COO.
This discovery sets at rest all the re-
peated assertions that the coal in the
Wyoming Valley will be mined out in so
years.

KILLED ON A WARSHIP
TweIve.Iuch Gun ExpIodes on Board the

THREE DEAD AND FIVE INJURED.
Three Pieces Of the Gun Each Weighing Over
Ton, Passed Downward Through the Spar
Deck, Falling Upon the Men at Mess-Mis'
siles Stopped by Coming Into Contact with
the Heavy Steel Of the Armored Deck.

Pensacola. Fla. (SpcciaD.-A disas-
trous explosion occurred on the battle
ship Iowa while the vessel was at tar
get practice in the Gulf. The forward
port I2-inch gun burst from the prema-
ture explosion OF shell. IL feet of the
piece outside the turret being dcmolish-
ed. Three men were killed and five
injured, two seriously.
The men killed or injured were on
the second, or gun deck. at mess.
Three pieces OF the exploded gun, each
weighing over a ton. passed downward
through the spardeck, falling upon the
men at mess, instantly killing the three
named.
All OF the men were horribly mutilat-
ed. The heavy missiles after passing
through the gun deck continued down
to the third deck, where they came in
contact with the armored deck, the
heavy steel bringing them to the stop,
thus saving the engineers and hremen
who were at work below. Although the
upper decks were covered with men,
no one there was seriously injured.
The explosion occurred Just as the
mess call had been sounded. Firing
was to have ceased after the shot for
the dinner hour. The range had been
set and the Iowa was steaming along
at a speed OF IL knots an hour when
Lieutenant Reed, in charge OF the for
ward I2-inch turret. gave orders to load
and fire The time fuse was cut for the
range, the piece charged breech closed
and the word given to fire
Following the report OF the gun there
was a smothered noise as the shell eX-
ploded midway in the gun and pieces
OF the bursted gun and shell were scat
tered broadcast
Three great holes were torn through
the decks. Those who were below be-
gan coming on deck, some bloody and
mutilated, while lying on the floor,
crushed almost beyond recognition,
were the three unfortunate men. The
Massachusetts,. six miles distant, was
signaled for aid, and one OF the cutters
put off with the surgeon and assistants.
The wounded men were taken to the
hospital and their injuries dressed.
The dead were brought to Pensacola.
Some claim the explosion was cauj-
ed by defective shell. and others think
that the frequent firing OF the pieces at
Culebra during the winter added, with
the work done here during the past 10
days, so strained the piece that the force
OF the charge bursted the gun.

by a Western establishment engaged
in the manufacture OF vehicles. alleg-
ing that competing houses had gotten
the benefit OF advance information re-
garding rural free-delivery routes and
the appointment OF rural iree-d delivery
carriers. The. charges allege that the
complaining company, upon announce
ment OF appointment OF rural carriers,
gave instructions to their agents i'll
various sections to negotiate with them
for the sale OF the wagons, buggies or
other vehicles for use in performing
the postal service. and that in a num-
Der OF cases cited the agents made reply
that the carriers had previously pro-
cured their outfit sometimes, it is as

alleged that in one instance cited a rep
