j. L. Hyde came in from the prai-
had struck coal in an artesian well
that he was drilling eight miles di-
rectly north of Roswell He was sup
piled with a tin can full of specimens
to substantiate his statement He
left several of the samples at the Rec
ord Office and the news spread like
wild fire and many have already
inspected them. The coal was struck
the latter part of last week at a
depth of l70 feet. Otis Hyde, the
young son of Mr.. Hyde, was superin-
tending the drilling when the strata
of coal was struck. The drill began
to rise from the gas. and the young
man thought he had struck Quick-sand
AS soon as he noticed the strange
action of the drill he Immediately be-
gan to crank the machinery up. He
can hardly raise the machinery by
cranking IL up by himself. but as soon
as he took hold of the crank it came
up with ease. showing that there was
some unknown underground power.
Large quantities of gas escaped from
the well and they had drilled most
through a five foot strata of coal be-
fore MFR. Hyde arrived on the scene.
AS soon as he made investigations
he saw at once that a low grade of
coal had been struck. After the drill
had gone through the five foot strata
of coal small gravel was encountered
and they are still drilling through gra
We; at depth Of ESQ feet. Mr.. Hyde
is an experienced well driller, having
been drilling wells in the Pecos Valley
for years. He declares that the well
where the coal was struck is a pheno-
menal one in several respects and
says that he has gone through more
gravel than any well that has ever
been drilled in the Pecos Valley.
Rock has been conspicuous for it's alb
sence. and the well has been drilled
in a remarkably short length of tine
For fifty feet before the coal was
struck the drill went through stra-
Ia of Potters blue clay of a fine quail
ty. Those who are posted says the
Potters blue clay always lies above
stratas OF coal, bnt the presence of
isotters blue clay is not proof posi-
tive that coal is beneath, this clay
being found where there are coal
beds any where in the vicinity
One peculiar feature of the speci-
mems is that two pieces of petrified
wood were among the lot In the Rec
ord Office. 1t is thought that the pet
rified wood has been there for thou
sands of years. as it was ITO feet un-
derground on the bald naked desert.
Matches were applied to the coal and
Immediately there was a strong odor
of gas. Mr.. Hyde put some OF the
coal in his cook stove and it made
firms hotfire after it was started tho
roughly. hut it was hard to get the
fire started.

field I'm the artesian belt and the clos

miles east. The well is on the desert

fures Of their future wealth in their
