Coal Found Under Lava.

The most remarkable deposit OF
coal in Colorado has just been I'm.
covered in the Durango district. Just
beneath a thin crust of lava lie beds
of the finest coal and coke covering
an area of over 625 square miles. In
quality it is unapproached by any
other similar product in the State.

TALES OF THE INDIANS.
There Were Some in 1905 Who Had
Never Heard a Gun Fired.

Never Heard Gun Fired.
Even as late as the year 1905 there
we're Indians on the North American
continent who had never seen or
heard a gun, had nevar seen tobacco
smoke, and were capable or worship
ping the white men who controlled
these .onders. The Rev. A. G.
Morice tells of some Of the adven-
lures of Sion Fraser, who has stamp
ed his name en- Canada. Father Mo.
rice writes as follows: "On landing
at Lake Stuart Fraser's men. to i'm
press the natives with proper idea
of their wonderful resources, fired
whole crowd of Indians fell PROSTATE
to the ground. To allay their fears
and make friends, tobacco was offer
ed to them, which, on being tasted,
was found too bitter and thrown
away. Then to shew its use, the
sight of smoke issuing from theil
mouths the people began to whisper
that they must come from the land
of ghosts, since they were still full OF
fire wherewith they had been ere
mated. Pieces CT soap were given &c
the women, who, taking them to be
cakes of fat, set upon crunching them
causing foam and bubbles in the
mouth, which puzzled both actors and
bystanders. All these phenomena
however, were s'con explained away
leaving no suspicion in the native
mind, but most profound admira-
ton for the foreigners and thelr
wares"
Sir Alexander Mackenzie had an
idea that the Indians of the far north
west were partly Jewish in origin
From Lake Athabasca in 1894 he set
out at the head of an expedition Sin

long, four and shree-quarters feat

visions and a crew of nine FrencS
Canadians" He reached the PACING
coast and returned. he aboriginies
he met were ''f r the most part pes
sessed of strongly religious instincts"
said he in his report. with regard
to their origin all we are prepared:
to state, after a careful survey OF
their language, manners and customs
is that they are undoubtedly of
mixed origin; cana firm the nor n
northwest, and ha! commerce in their
early history, perhaps, through int r.
marriage, with people of Jewish par
suasion or origin"
New Years Day. 1911, in the Cana
dian northwest was described y D.
w. Harmon as follows: This being
the first day of new year, our psop-c
have passed it, according to the Gus
tom of the Canadians in drinking
and fighting. Some of the principal
Indians Of Fraser Lake desired to al
low them to remain at the fort that
they might see our people drink. AS
soon as they began to be little in,
toxicated and to quarrel among them
selves the natives began to be appre-
hensive that something unpleasant
might befall them also. They, there
fore, hid themselves under beds and
elsewhere, saying that they thought
the white people had run mad. for
they appeared not to know what they
were about. 1t was the first time
that they had ever seen a person. in,

RINGS FOR THE ATHLETIC GIRL.
Curious little finger rings, symbol

worn by athletic girls and make pref

The golf ring is a golf stick twisted
into a circle, the gold is corrugated
to reproduce the heavy, leather COW

The rowing ring is light. delicately
made, and very pretty The oar is
the thin, curved spoon oar of the rae

The hunting ring is horn twisted
into circle with fox's head for an
ornament.
A riding crop with a horses head
is pretty device also.
None of these rings are very ex-
pensive, although the luxurious may
embellish and elaborate them, havirE

The complete destruction of a large
and prosperous town by a change i'm a
railroad route is ths 'niQue spectacle
at present being witnessed at Wads
wort, New, which has been removed
from the main line of the central Pa
cific through the construction of the
Lucin cutoff. AS the Southern Paci-
flc Company has several hundred en-
ployes residing at Wadsworth. which
up to the opening Of the Lucin cutoff
was a railroad terminus, it has done
the square thing by giving each Of
them a lot i'm the new terminal town Of
Sparks, whence the Companv's turn
tables and workshops have been re-
moved, and is hauling their dwellings
free of cost from Wadsworth station
to the lew location. An effort is being
made to move the whole town on wheels
by the 10Th inst. Nothing of the kind
has ever before been seen in this coun-
try, and possibly its like may never be
seen egain. In a few days WadswOrth
will be wiped off the map.-San Fran

A NACHUR MAN
IN NEW JERSEY
HE WAS ARRESTED AND FINED
AND AGREED TO WEAR MORE
CLOTHING.

BUTLER, n. j., June 11.-Women of
fashion may dress as indecorously as
they please for appearance in the gilt
tering horse shows in a metropolitan
house, but the dwellers of this village
will not tolerate anything save strict
adherence to customs in street attire,
as was shown today when Mature
Lover" Joseph SalomonsOn, known
widely in these parts, was arraigned
before Justice Roberts on complaint of
Rev. Father Hyacinth. rector of St.
Anthony's Roman Catholic Church.
Public opinion as voiced by the com
plalntant and his practitioners con-
demned the defendants satorial views.
1t was wrought to a high pitch because
Salomonson persisted i'm walking
abroad clad i'm a single garment reach
ing only to his knees. and occasionally
the devotee dispensed even with that
flimsy concession to popular prejudice.
Justice, represented by Roberts, sided
with the general Indignation, burt dis
posed of the case with a compromise
whereby the man escaped severe pun
ishment
Salomonson regards all garments as
trammels. The mature lover" has been
resident of Butler for two months,
and in that period has consistently
| lived up to this theory.
He points with pride to the CARELESS
| guilelessness of Greeks before their de-
cline. He also cites Adam and Eve as
examples.
Women and children meeting the de-
voice in the unconventional appare' and
sometimes lin the lark of ut. were
| frightened out of their wits. Complaint
poured into the rectory of st Anthony S
until Father Hyacinth concluded it was
| time to act. The priest made the COM
plant in which he charged Solomon
son with appearance in the streets and
on the roads outsi = the village in i'm
proper attire. He said it was the nat
ure lovers practice to walk in full
view Of the highway without even the
! lone garment to which so much object
ion was made. Father Hyacinth wound
up with the assertion that SalOmon-
sons habit was a scandal to the COM
munity and asked that the defendant
! be dealt with according to law. Salo-
monson agreed to remain i'm Obscurity
when he desired to be near his ideal
and the court merely fined him the
costs.

FOR YOUTHS
AND MAIOENS
AS WELL AS THOSE OF OLDER
GROWTH AND GREATER KNOwL-
EDGE-ALL UNIT. IN PRAISING.

There are few people, especially
among the young, who visited the Col
umbian Exposition, that have ever been
quite satisfied with their knowledge
and experience of the event one has
often heard the remark, Il went many
times, and didn't see half the show af-
ter all"
AS a matter of fact, the magnitude of
the enterprise was so great that one
early despaired of accomplishing any
thing more than the most cursory ex-
animation.
How much more must this be the case
at the great Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position, which, roughly speaking, is as
big as the Chicago, Paris and Buffalo
Fairs rolled into one.
The youngsters viii go about the st.
Louis show i'm such feverish haste that
about everything of enduring interest
will escape them, except possibly the
pike" and many things will be MISS
ed even in this magnificent Street Of
| Nations" with its mile of attractions.
| To young and old alike, it would be
a splendid thing to have the chief
points of interest and value at the EX-
! position judiciously selected, pictured
and described for reference and study.
Such an opportunity is afforded in
! the superb Forest City" series of
Worlds Fair Art Portfolios. Their
vivid pictorial and descriptive features
will prove Of great value from an edu-
cational standpoint
The views are the best obtainable,
since they are taken by the official pho
| tographer of the Exposition, especially
for this series; and the descriptions are
| entirely accurate and authentic, having
been carefully prepared for the work by
Walter b. Stevens, secretary of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
AS heretofore stated, every important
feature in connection with the EXPOSE
ton is covered in both views and des-
lcriptions, and with the entire Forest
ICity" series in one library no further
history of the Fair, either in words OF
pictures, is necessary.
And all may possess and enjoy this
splendid collection, since this paper
makes it easy for every one to secure
the portfolios as issued.
The only charge is the nominal sun
of ten cents for each part, to cover the
cost of wrapping, addressing, mailing

duty of every progressive American
citizen to see that the Forest City
series is secured in it's entirety. Parts
