BURNING MINES OF UTAH.


Through 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, fire with
surface indications of constant COM
bustion for ages past
These coal fields of Utah ara some
what widely separated, and even the
known fields have been comparatively
little explored; Gerefore very little i,
known of their Productive area
The edges of these beds come to the
surface in these cliffs nearly 1000 fee!
above the bordering desert, and In
ages past this coal has burned into
the mountain cliffs until smothered by
the accumulations of ashes and cover
ing of superintendent rocks Ii
places the heat OF this burning Goa
has been so 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 uncomfortable
hot and the miners were compelled t.
retire for fear the fires would agar
break out
Other coal fields lie in the deser
west of Green river. At two place.
near tributaries OF the Fremont rive
the Goals are burning, and have beef
without cessation since they were dis
covered by the earliest explorer. Tn,
origin of these fires has been the sub
ject of much speculation.
Three explanations are commoni.
heard among the Mormons, who in
habit this peculiar country where tn,
mountains burn.
One explanation is that lightning ha
| by chance struck the edges of thes
| coal beds at various times since thes
mountains were lifted up.
Another is that forest fires raging il
| the mountains came in contact with ex

occur.
Still another and more common ex

When bolt o: lightning strikes a

glass the silica material through which
it passes. Thus, by its great heat,
it forms at once a glass tube of precise

a tube, known as 'fulgurite' Is found
and dug up
"Fulgurites have been followed into
the sand by excavation for nearly 80
feet They vary in interior diameter
from the size of quill to three inches
or more, according to the bore of the
flash. But fulgurites are not alone
produced in sand: they are found also
in solid rocks, though very naturally
