a BIG COAL SEAM DISCOVERED.
IN Mason an CabeII o0untie..

Huntington, w. Va. December
l-Persons arriving in this city
from the locality in question report
a discovery which will revolution
ize the industrial life of the south
ern part of Mason and the northern
part of Cabell county.
Workmen while drilling a test
well for oil on the Butler farm,
which lies about one mile beyond
the Cabell border. upon reaching a
depth Of 201 feet, struck a seam of
coal For time little attention
was paid to the find, but as the
drill went deeper and deeper and
the bottom of the vein was not
touched. interest deepened and as
four, five six, seven and eight feet
were:numbered by the drill, the
owners of the lease began to realize
that they had found bonanza
superior to any oil we'll in the
state. At depth of 213 feet the
drill went through the GOAL. show
ing the seem to be an unbroken-
one twelve feet in. thickness A
test showed the coal to be equal in
quality of anything to be found in
the state. while the quantity as
shown by the unprecedented
thickness of the vein, is without
parallel.
When news of the great find
gained circulation a lively scramble
for GOAL leases began and the
country in this part of both coun-
ties is being secured by parties
eager to pick mp every available
mineral right.
The finding of this fine coal bed
means that the quiet farming re-
gion will soon be transformed into
one of the busiest mining regions
in the state.
The well which is being sunk
lies out half mile across the
Cabell county border, which in
sures the extension of the seam
under the greater part of Cabell
county territory.

But why shouldn't we? 1t is

purely popular victory for oul
Teddy, and we all truly like him,
have high regard and respect TO,
him for his fresh and frank Ameri.

honesty, which outweighs all de-

shouldn't we be good natured
about it and take off our hats and
hurrah with the rest for Roose.
VeltF 1t was his victory. Why
should any Democrat be cast
down at itf 1t was not test OF
the strength of the principles of
the two parties with the people,
because Judge Parker would Ger

not defeat for Democracy. 1t is

GREAT PRODUCTION.

Holy City" Greeted by Banner
House of Several Seasons. &
The play, Gorden & Bennet's
THE Holy City" which appeared
at the Grand Opera House Tues
day night is one of the strongest
productions of the kind ever seen
here. 1t would be impossible to
give just idea of the excellency
of the play and only those who saw
can really appreciate. The fact
that the house was packed and no
person was present but who ex-
pressed himself or herself as being
happily surprised means that it
was a play far above the average
merit.
The Marius, Andrew, John the
b 'ptist, Judus and many others
were exceptionally we'll portrayed.
In fact almost the whole company
was one of strength. The acting
and the scenery we'll presented the
