GOOD COAL FOUND IN IDAHO.
Expected Output TO Supply the State

Expected Output TO Supply the State
and Eastern Oregon.
The announcement that coal of a
very fair quality has been discovered
in Thunder Mountain serves to revive
the interest in the development of that
newest of Idaho's resources, says the
Boise Statesman. Discoveries of coal
have been reported at various points
during the past few years, but those
who control the locations as a rule
have been unable to develop the prop
critics to a depth sufficient to demon
strate the value of their holdings from
a commercial point of view. The sur
face has been scratched enough to in
dictate the existence of bodies of coal,
still giving moderate satisfaction In
the limited local uses to which the
product has been put.
The coal found In Thunder Mountain
Is said to have increased in quality and
quantity with depth, having been de-
veloped about fifty feet. Tests are
claimed to show 40 per cent fixed car
bon and less than s per cent ash. 1t
has been used for blacksmithing there
and Is said to give entire satisfaction.
If these claims are borne out and IL
the properties continue to improve with
development, the discovery will constl-
tute another highly important factor
In the future OF that section.
In Lemhi County the coal situation
is most encouraging. 1t has passed the
experimental stage, having been de-
veloped to pS4nt where its superiority
as a fuel for general purposes has
been clearly demonstrated and the
supply shown to be practically mex
haustible gagged by the present and
prospective demand. The Pollard
mines there have been opened up sys-
tematlcally and are yielding a large
production. Teams are hauling from
the mines continuously, the coal sell
ing for $3.50 a ton, and, according to
the Salmon Herald, the consumers be-
ing well satisfied.
The fuel problem has developed into
such a serious one In this State that
the coal developments will arouse the
livellest interest! 1t is only a matter
of a short time until the Lemhi coal
deposits. and others, too, will be
reached by railroad. This will slim
ulate development that it is expected
will eventuate in the opening up of
vast deposits from which the greater
portion OF western Idaho and eastern
Oregon will be supplied at prices far
below those exacted at the present
| time.
