WASHINGTON COUNTY COAL.
How Anthracite Was Found In Utah's
Dixie,

An interesting description OF the coal
discoveries in Washington county Is
given by the Dixie Advocate as follows.
j. shelby Ferris. the veteran pros
pector OF southern Utah. gave us the
following account OF the discovery ana
character of the new coal claim about
which we told our readers, In our last
issue:
This new discovery Is located about
FIVE miles south Of the line between
Iron and Washington counties, on what
Is known as Peter Leap creek, and is
distant about seven miles from the
Harmony coal mine in this county.
The,vein was discovered by Mr.. He
Der s. Marshall Of Troplc while search
ing for coal on and near the site OF
the old church diggings which were
worked In 1874. The vein discovered
By Mr. Marshall Is a mile or two north
OF these old digglngs. The foot wall
formation Is sand rock and the gangue
matter OF the vein is carbonlzed slate
with true veins Of anthracite coal and
Examinations of slate. The formation
above Is lime with red congl0merate on
TOP of that. The entire field comprises
about $50 acres with various coal veins
cropping out all along the line OF the
footwall formations. An examination
of the coal that has been dug out shows
II to be a true anthracite coal, burning
readily with a light blue flame nd no
smoke; indicating the presence but
little II any sulphur. Messrs Heber s.
Marshall Of Tropic, w. Harris Of
Leeds. A. Il. Gregerson and j. ), Ferris
OF Belevnue, and James V. Ferris OF
Colorado City, Colo, have each secured
q quarter section of the land and 1t Is
the intention of the parties to form a
company. and commence work on the
vein Immediately. Mr., James V. Ferris
who is son OF j. $. Ferris Is a mining
expert, and has made personal exam
ination Of the situation at this new
coa vein, The gentleman was much
impressed with the prospects and de-
claTes the deposit TO be unquestionably
genuine anthracite and Is taking with
him a number OF samples, which he ex-
poets will be the means Of bringing In
capital from his home state. The vein
IL four feet wide. and Is within -four
miles Of the surveyed line Of the d. n
II. G.. railway In the pass above Belle
vue that leads into Washington county,
MIR j. $, Ferris says this Is another ev-
idence OF the truth OF what he has 50

OF this southern part OF the state have
been brought TO light,

pany, and which Is due the Amalgam-

suit enjolned the payment OF these d.
vidends.
The substance Of the decision Is that
MacGlnniss Is n private individual and
has no right TO maintain an action
against the Amalgamated doing busl-
ness In Montana, ON the grounds that
II Is monopoly, such as being main
tainable only by the state; that under
the evidence In record the Amalgam-
ated Copper company Is neither trust
or monopoly; that under the laws OF
Montana one corporation may hold as
completely as an individual stock In
other corporations, and that the same Is
not against public policy.
