Coal Vein IS Feet Thick Sample of
Natuer's Treasure in the Park

In remarking upon the size and
extent of the body of coal owned
by James c. Riach, fifteen miles
south west of Walden, a gentle
man who has had considerable ex-
perience in coal fields over this
western country, says that the
coal in that section will support a
camp of five thousand people.
When the immense size of the
Riach bank is taken into consid-
Grafton, this estimate is a conserva-
tive one. A vein of pure coal 65
feet at the surface and underlay-
ing plateau for an indefinite
number of miles, is no small mat
ter.
The vein crops out like a cliff
and the coal is quarried out like
rock. The roadway for loading
the coal leads around next to the

was expected that itwould be fol-
lowed by extreme cold; but the
temperature grew quite warn and
on Monday morning this valley
was visited by a Chinook wind
that swept two-thirds of the snow
from the ground.
Again Tuesday morning a warm
snow set IN and continued for some
time, melting almost as fast as it
fell. The consequence is that the
moisture which has fallen in that
time has. in a great measure, gone
into the ground, leaving the roads
in a very muddy condition.
The stages have been from two
to four hours late each day and,
strange to say, there has been
more passenger travel during that
time than for weeks before Tie

the road. bad aud d~isagreeable as

The size of the vein and accessi-

the cost of the coal would be re-

railroad facilities could be placed
upon the Denver market where it
would find a ready sale as the use
of hard coal is prohibited in that
