which was recently purchased and
fitted up for a church. The build
ing was we'll filed and, from ap.
pearances, Rev. Brundage will
find it necessary to build an addi-
ton in the near future. Com
munion services were held and
three new members taken in.
Sunday school was held after the
services and excellent work is be.
ing done in this field.
When Rev. Brundage took
charge of this field, services were
held in a tent, and the church
members were few. With his
characteristic energy, he has Sc
cured a church building and the
membership has thribbled, and is
still increasing.
Mr.. Brundage is looking well
and is much pleased with his field.
He inquired after all his Saratoga
friendsand expressed his gratitude
at the excellent reports he was re-
ceiving from the Saratoga church.
If my eyes did not deceive me, he

OPENING UP new COAL BANKS
Five Veins Being Worked Within Haul.
Ing Distance Of saratoga-This Town
Well Supplied With Fuel.

The subject of fuel is an i'm
p%ortant n to every community
and Saratoga is particularly for
tunate in that regard. The Nc
Cold mines, % miles north west
of here, have long supplied the
town with a fair quality of coal.
The opening up of the Phillips
mines, north of here, on the east
side of the river, was the means of
furnishing another supply of coal
of an excellent quality. They are
distant only about IL miles from
this place. The coal banks open
ed up by Petty & VIM about two
miles beyond the Phillips mines
made still another avenue of sup
ply in that line.
AT the present time "A bank of
coal, about half way between the
Cook ranch, on the Old Stage
Road, and the Phillips mine, is
being opened up by n local COM
pany, composed of C.. p. Glenn
mons, DIR. Price, l.. W. McAnulty
and Joe NUM-. This bank is
about IS inches between floor and
roof and as depth is gained the
quality of the coal improves and
it is believed that a most excel
lent coal will be taken from the
bank within a month. A consid-
cradle amount of money is being
spent Oh this bank in the way of
of opening up n slope and the
construction of II direct road to it
across the prairie.
c. 5. Taylor. W. H. Johnston
and others are now engaged in
opening up n bank of coal out
north west of town about IL miles.
They are sinking a shaft and are

coal is very encouraging and the
owners believe they are near a
