MISSISSIPPI AROUSED.
Resent Criticisms IN Letter of Mrs
Jefferson Davis.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]


New Orleans, Nov. PA bitter feeling is
spreading through Mississippi because of the
caustic references made by Mrs. jefferson Davis
in letter to Judge A. McC. Ktmbrough, her
counsel, which read at the closing session
of the national convention of the Daughters of
the Confederacy at Gulfport Miss. 1t is ad-
mitted that a serious mistake was made when
the objectionable letter was given publicity. It's
reading received by the Daughters conven-
ton in silence, but the delegates were open in
their condemnation of the contents of the mis-
sive. The letter was personal TO Judge
Kimbrough who gave Mrs. Davis pledge that
its text not to be made public until after her
death.
One paragraph of the letter says that Mrs.
was Beauvoir. but that she felt that the grave
here would not be invioate. and she could not
afford $4,000 year-the expense necessary to
guard il.
This paragraph in particular has aroused the
ire Of Mssssippans, Mrs Davis further states
that while Louisiana and Virginia We're anxious
10 have the body of her husband Mississippi
was silent until after the body had been buried
in Richmond, and then only did Mississippi
communicate with her regarding the subject.
A woman of GreenVille, Miss, who is a well
known Daughter of the COnfederacy, is pre-
pairing a reply TO the charges of Mrs Davis.

tion floor at Gulfport

COAL IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Rich Vein at a Depth of 1900 Feet Neat
Miller.

Miller, S D., Jan "A vein of coal
eight feet thick and equal in quality to-
the best Hooking Valley soft coal was
discovered about twenty-five miles
northwest of here by William Deuel..
while boring an artesian well On the
Martin Moore ranch. 1t is 1900 feet
below the surface of the ground in
chalkS stone and below the first flow of
artesian water. The seeming impos-
sibility Of working a coal mine thus
situated caused contempt and disgust
rather than a celebration of JOY over
the discovery, but it is believed by
many that the time will come when
by some method the oal will be raised
to the top of the ground and used. D
The extent of the vein is not known,
but it is believed TO underlie a large
area. ,
In the early SOS a vein of coal was
discovered about twenty miles farther
northwest that furnished fuel for the
pioneers of that neighborhoOd for some
time. That vein was neal the surface
and was a poorer quality Of coal than.
the vein discovered by Deuel. so deep
down in the earth. The gentleman
states that of the scores of artesiani
wells he has sunk there has been no
coal found in any of them TO speak of
except this one, although more or less
gas escapes from all of them. The
Hyde county we'll that is reported to.
be quite heavily charged with gas,
is only q few miles west of the Moore
we'll where the thick vein of coal is,
and the theory is advanced that the
coal underlies that whole section,
hough under the arteSian flow.
