VEIN OF COAL DISCOVERED
IN HILLS NEAR EUREKA

A dispatch from Eureka says:
A vein of what is thought to be gooo
COAL four feet in width, has been dis
covered on the ranch of Peter Carletti
in the Robert Creek mountains near
here. An expert has been sent to the
scene to examine the coal and repors
upon it's quality.
For some time past the Southern Pa.
cific has had a corps of engineers and
prospectors in the hills of Eureka coun-
ty. looking for coal deposits. The find
ing of body of coal at this point means
much to the road. which at present is
far from the base of fuel supplies. In
the Carletti find is authentic and the
coal is good the discoverers have amp.e

STORY GOING ROUNDS
ABOUT NEVADA MAILS

l.. II. Crossman Of Go,dfield Nevada,
who is In New York City, says the
postmaster at Goldfied has his little
bonfire every day after the office closes,
says New York dispatch.
Crossman says he threatened to COM
plain to the postoffice department in
Washington, but the postmaster referred
him to letter posted in his Office.
This letter purported to be from an
assistant in the Washington department
and authorized the Goldf1eld postmaster
to destroy all but first-class mail by fire.
Crossman says he asked the Go.dfe,d
official then If he would't let MIN go to
the pile of papers and pick out his pa
pers each day, but the postmaster
wouldn't listen to this. The Office was
established to handle the mail in Gold
field, and If 1t couldn't why nobody else
should.
Persons at the New York postoffice
when questioned about this said they
knew some western postmasters were
pretty hot stuff, but they didn't believe
any of them ever obtained permission
from Washington to burn the mail.

SMITH AbANDONS
. PROPOSED
ROAD
Borax King will Not Build From
Las vagas Into Southern
Nevada-Southern Pacific
Responsible.

f. NJ. Smith has stopped the con-
from Las Vegas to the borax mines and
the Bulfrog country. because he is un-
able to make transportation arrange
ments with the Salt Lake railroad.
The above dispatch sent out from Las
Vegas arouses much comment In rail-
road and mining circles. as 1t has been
taken for granted that Smiths famous
mining and borax road would soon be
built from Las Vegas to Bullfrog ano
that in short time It would reach
Go dfield and Tonopah, the ultimate des-
tination. If such Is not to be the case
the story that Clark is not to invade
Southern Nevada on account of Harr.-
man objecting is probably true and the
outlet for the mines of the southland
will continue TO be the Southern Pa
ciac.
The latter theory is probably well
rently reported In raj road circles that
Clark had allowed himself TO be trap
ped into an arrangement with the s. r.
system in which he surrendered the
right to build feeders to his road in Me-
vada. The rumor was denied prompt y
by the Montana Senator and the begin
ming of the Smith extension from Las
Vegas to Bullfrog bore out the sentiment
of the denial Now comes the news tina.
the Smith road cannot make suitable
traffic arrangements wit hthe Clark
road and people are wondering II the
first report was not correct after all.

ALLEGED VOLCANO
IN HUMBOLDT
COUNTY
Recalls Some of the Great Erup.
tions of Ancient and Modern
Times-Sagebrush Endang.
cred.

In view of the sensational matter ap-
pearing in the Daily Dreadfuls' about
the alleged volcano near Oreana and
the danger of flooding the lower basin
Of the Humboldt with the eruptivc
stream, a few facts regarding the de-
structive character of modern volcanic
action may be given without endorsing
the alleged discovery at mount Wheei-
err, or adding fuel to the flames OF
alarmist rumor.
According to the best evidence obtain-
abe, the most destructive eruption or
modern times occurred at Tomboro, In
1875. The explosions were heard at Su-
matra, $40 miles distant. Out of a pop
ulation of $4,000 only 26 persons escaped.
During the eruption ashes and cinders
make three mountains the size of Mount
Blanc, or to cover the whole of Ger
many two feet deep.
The lava which streamed from Skap-
tar Jokull. Iceland, in 1888, has been
computed to be equal to q cubic miles.
These were very extraordinary erup-
tions. In the greatest eruption of vesu-
vius the quantity of lava poured out ala
not exceed 60O.OOO.O0O cubic feet. which
would be equal to one sqlare mile COW
cred q feet deep; but Kileau the Ha-
waifan yOlCann in 1S40 ari.,
sufficient to cover square mile 800 feet,
according to Prof. Dana. Great destrus-
tion OF life is Otter caused by volcanic
action; the inundation of Hercu aneum
Vesuvius is historic. The great erup-
ton of Skaptar Jokul was also very de-
structive to life. The eruption of Etna
in 1863 overwhelmed fourteen towns and
villages. while many minor eruptions OF
the less noted volcanoes have in more
recent times been productive of greas
.oss of life and property.
But there is nothing to indicate any
such result in Humboldt county. even
supposing a volcano really does exist az
the point stated, and we are not dispur-
ing the alleged discovery. The country
lying to the southwest of Rabbit Hoe.
as well as the country for vast stretches
therefrom in every direction, and Rab-
bit Hole itsef, with its famous sulphur
mines, which furnished the only sulphur
manufactured in the United States that
went into powder for the recent Spanish
war, furnish abundant and many torrid
pages of the earths early history near
the location of the alleged new volcano.
Yet Notwithstanding these evidences or
former vo.canic action there is nothing
that could be remotely considered as
dangerous about a volcano in that
neighborhood, If one really did exist
there, for the only property there is
sagebrush and sand and the only popu-
lation horned toads. lizards and rattle
snakes so the present alarm, vo.cano
or no volcano, Is baseless and serves no
other purpose than to make a story for
the lurid and sensational press.

COLUMBIA COUNTY.

The recent census returns of this
county may well cause its citizens to
congratulate themselves upon the cx-
listing conditions of prosperity, espe-
cially along agricultural lines, since
there are over 1000 farms; but the fact
that nearly one-half of these are worked
by negroes may initiate against the
county in many minds. On these farms
76,643 acres were titled. Long cotton
was leading crop, but it would seem
as If the fact that 1t took over four acres
to make bale, there were other crops,
such as oats, for instance, that could
be grown to greater profit and with far
less labor, besides having ready home
market.
