Coal Discovered at IOnopdh

AZ special correspondent of the Reno
Journal reports the finding of a coal
mine near Tonopah. The vein, II Is
claimed Is fourteen feet wide and of
a good quality. $50 feet deep and only
three miles from the new railroad.
The new coal field lies in Esmeralda
county. about thi,ty miles southeast
of Sodaviile and thirty-five miles
northwest of Tonopah. 1t has been
known for years that there were coal
croppings in this section, but only dur
ing the past year has there been any
extended development of the territory.
The coal lands lie on a high bench
with a small range of mountains to
the north, while all the known veins
dip away from the hills into a dry
valley to the south. where abundant
and good water is to be found at a
few feet from the surface. This is on
the claim owned and developed by ii,
c. Petty, who lives near Coal Wells,
which place is stage station on the
desert between Candelaria and Tono-
pah. A well developed coal mine
means more to the state of Nevada
and her mining Industries than any
thing else, and it now looks as though
fuel for smelling ores will soon be OBJ
tainable at a low cost. Miners are
tlocking to the scene.

FILIPINO SOLDIERS TO FAIR
Passed Through WinnemuCCa
Battalion Officer Talks

special train of eight cars passed
though Winnemucca this morning at
7 o'clock. The train carried the First
Infantry battalion on their way to ST.
Louis.
This is the Filipino regiment that Is
going to ST. Louis nominally as a
guard. but in reality for exhibition
purposes. The little yellow men"
were in high glee and seemed to be en-
joying the trip hugely. In conversa-
ton one of the officers In command
said to Silver State reporter:
This organization is truly repre-
sentative of the inhabitants of the
archipelago. They were picked up
from all classes and from all parts.
They are seasoned veterans now, most
of them having seen service for the
past five years. They are thoroughly
drilled and understand their orders
perfectly. To an officer they personify
aspect, and kindness affects them
greatly. AS soldiers they are brave,
obedient and fairly good marksmen.
This is the only chance they have
vate American citizen, and the moral
effect of this trip can hardly be calcu-
lated. 1t also gives Americans an op-
portunity to get better acquainted
with their new wards. In short, 1t Is
liberal education for both.
ITO illustrate their inexperence
must tell you what happened at Oak
land, California. When we boarded
the train at the per they were greatly
concerned about a place to sleep and
evidently thought they were expected
to sit up all the way, but to have seen
the expressions of surprise when the
hunks were lowered was really treat
They are more easily disciplined than
almost any other body of men in the
a my and give us little or no trouble
through drink"
Major Darlington is in command,
but turns the battalion over to an
other officer at st. Louis and returns
to Manila.

Taken Under Amusement

The case of the appeal from the dis
trict court of Humboldt county in the
case of the four men convicted of muir
der in the first degree and sentenced
to be hanged, was argued before the
supreme court yesterday at Carson.
Bonnifield. Murphy and Woodburn
appeared for the defendants and At
torney General Sweeney and District
Attorney Warren of Humboldt APP
peared for the state. There was Il
large crowd present and great interest
was taken in the proceedings. The
argument at times grew very warm
and the hall resounded with the elo-
quence of the various attorneys who
were engaged in the debate. The court
withheld its decision and 1t is not ex-
pected for several weeks.

The new proclamation can be held
only as another evasion. 1t was not
spoken offhand, but carefully prepared
in writing and read to the congrega-
ton.
1t adds nothing to the old manifes-
to, and considering how Joseph f,
Smith looks upon the polygamy tenet
of his creed, we are bound to con-
clude that the only purpose in issuing
the new proclamation was that 1t
might have its effect on the outside
