BURNING MINES OF UTAH.
Veins Of Coal That Have Been AAra
Since They Were Discovered
by White Mem.

Through a long line of cliffs from
Colorado to central Utah, and then
southwest toward Arizona, extensive
beds of coal are found. and recent geo
logical investigation into this coal
formation of the far west has devel-
oped what may be termed burning
mountains. or coal beds. firc with
surface indications of constant COLA
bustion for ages past.
These coal fields of Utah are some
what widely separated, and even the
known fields have been comparatively
little explored; therefore very little ID
known OF their productive area
The edges Of these beds come to the
surface in these cliffs nearly 1000 feet
above the bordering desert, and in
ages past this cCaI has burned into
the mountain cliffs until smothered by
the accumulations Of ashes and covur-
ing Of superintendent rocks. In
places the heat os this burning coal
has been 50 intense as to melt the
rocks.
From surface appearances the fires
have gone out IN these cliffs. but at one
point In the canyon Of Prince river
where the coal is being mined, the
rocks are found to be uncomfortahly
hot and the miners were compelled to
retire for fear the fires would again
break out.
Other coal fields lie in the desert
west Of Green river. At two places
near tributaries OF the Fremont river
the Goals are burling, and have been
without cessation since they were dis
covered by the earliest explorer. The
origin OF these fires has been the sub
ject of much speculation.
Three explanations are commonly
heard among the Mormons, who in
habit this peculiar country where the
mountains burn.
One explanation IS that lightning has
by chance struck the edges of these
coal beds at various times since these
mountains were lifted up.
Another is that forest fires raging in
the mountains came in contact with ex-
posed coal. The more thoughtful peirlt
out that the forests in this desolate re-
gion are too sparse for forest fires to
occur.
Still another and more common ex-
PLANTATION is that the Indians bLili
their campfires under the protectire
ledges of the mountains against the
coal, and it was thus ignited. They
point to the fact that there are ruins
of the habitations Of cliff dwellers hore
and that in their day the Goals began
to burn.

HoMELY PHILOSOPHY.

It isn't always lucky to trust people
who trust to luck.
Romance is sweet sixteen. religion
is sixty II she's day.
Happy is he who never knows when
he gets the worst of 1t.
A great achievement doesn't need a
brass band accompaniment.
Most Of us expect better obituary
notices than are coming to us.
Those who yield to temptation are
generally looking for a chance.
The optimist looks forward to to-
morrow, the pessimist sighs for yes
terday.
There might not be no much room
at the top II there were fewer cushions

Most Of us are dissatisfied, some
with what we have and some with

TO THE SOUTH POLE
EXPEDITIONS AFooT ExPLo1no
ANTARCTIC REGION.
Problems Which Explorers Are Try.
ing to Solve in the Interests
of Science and Human
Curiosity.

Three, IL not four, expeditions, are
expected to De in the antarctic area
again within the next 1S months. The
six expeditions. from Capt. Gerlache,
of Belgium, 10 DIR. Charcot, of France,
that spent tine pas. few years in :he
for south discovered new lands and
penetrated far inside OF one long
stretch of coast, but failed to ascer-
tain whether these lands are all bound
together, forming a continent.
Capt. Scott made his way up the gen.
the ice slope for 500 miles into the in
terror of Victoria Land, but was not
able after all 10 snow whether he mad
marched into continental mass or
only large ISLAND Every expedition
that is going to this field hopes to
shed light on the question Of the south
ern continent.
The problem is to be attacked on the
American side of the antarctic by
Lieut.. Michael BaTne, of the Discovery
who is preparing to go to Graham
Land. about 500 miles south OF South
America. Explorers have been up and
down the east and west shores OF Gra-
ham Land, and what they have found
of 1t is about 450 miles long and from
80 to 100 miles wide. but 1t widens
rapidly toward the south; they do not
know yet whether 1t is large island
or promontory.
II, as some of the students Of the
antarctic problem conjecture, the ex-
tent of land in the south polar regions
is about 3,500,o00 square miles. these
lands are about as large as the United
States, including Alaska. Human Gu
riosity will never be satisfied till the
whole extent of the land is laid down
on the maps, end the geographe,s
know now that for the next 20 years
this field will he the scene Of the
largest exploratory activity.
1t is strange that the mysterious
south land which long before the dis
covery Of America was marked on the
maps as Terra Australis should be the
last and greatest problem of geog-
raphy to be solved in the twentieth
century.
The statement las been published
several times recently that no investi-
cations are now in progress in the
antarctic. This is slightly inaccurate
The Argentine government has just
established meteorological and mag
netic station nj Wandel island, far
south on the west coast of Graham
Land. So the antarctic regions ere
at present not entirely deserted by
explorers.

LIKE A CARGO OF SNOW.
Steamer Brings in Load Of Salt from
Sicily Which Looked
Wintry.

Looking down over the high hatch
way combing into the after hold of a
steamer discharging at an East river
wharf up by the Grand street ferry,
a waterside stroller saw in the hold
below what seemed to be cargo of
snow-an odd cargo for vessel to
bring. says the New York Sun.
They had already got out the bulk
OF 1t from Immediately under the
hatchway and almost down to the ves-
sells floor. but all around still arose
white banks of it reaching up almost
to the vessels decks; and half way
up one Of these steep snowbanks a
man was at work with a pick, dis
lodging masses of it to fall to the
open space at the center, where stood
men with scoop shovels piling this
snow into great iron tip buckets,
which, as fast as they were. filed,
were hoisted up to be dumped into a
chute running down over the steam
er's side, this chute emptying into
carts on the wharf.
From the steamers forward hatch,
at the same tine and in like manner,
they were discharging from the same
snowy cargo, but over the other side
of the vessel. the cargo from the after
hold going across the wharf into a
warehouse, while that from the for
ward hold was going into lighters
alongside, customs officer at each
point noting the weights of it as the
stuff was hoisted out.
1t was salt. the snowy white cargo
with which from stem to stern this
steamer was loaded; cargo of $500
tons of salt, brought from a place in
Sicily where they make salt by the
evaporation of sea water from arti-
ficially made ponds of about 20 inches
in depth.
To one whose ideas OF salt were
confined to the trifiing quantities of
1t that he saw in shakers and salt
cellars on the table this cargo of
thousands of tons seemed like a lot
of salt; really like something curious
and interesting and remarkable. AS a
matter of fact in the various uses to
which 1t is put salt Is used in enor-
nous quantities. and to those ac-
quainted with salt and the salt trade
salt in full cargoes, large and small,
is something quite familiar.

Stockers and Feeders.

Chicago. June 25.-The market last
week dropped to the lowest point of the
season, and it was d tough one for the
dealers, while affording the few coun-
try buyers who showed up a relatively
good assortment of cattle to select from
at cheap prices. The demand, how
ever was decidedly insufficient to
help out the situation at any time, and
prices were on the down turn practi-
cally each day. Closing sales showed
a loss of 15M35c from a week ago, the
choice grades having gone at the least
decline. Even at these low figures it
was impossible to effect good clear
ance. and upward of 1,200 cattle were
left Saturday.
One reason for the bad market has
been big receipts. A flood of stockers
and feeders from Il Missouri river mar
llet at the start of the week swelled
the offerings above normal volume and
started the decline, the dealers then
stocking up with lot of cattle which
looked relatively cheap to them but
which, in view of the continued weak
demand. have proven high. and lost
money. The demand has been poor for
practically all classes, but poorest for
