OIL AND COAL PROSPECTS.
Syndicate Formed at The DaIIes to
Operate Near That City.

THE DALLES, Or, Jan. 3.-Several
years ago a syndicate was formed here
to prospect for coal A tract of land
was contracted for about three miles
west of this city and drilling machin-
cry purchased and arrangements made
to carry it to a successful issue if coal
existed in this country. After drilling
through several different strata a bed
of magnetic iron was encountered; the
depth of this strata was about 40 feet
and So hard that it took diamond drills
to penetrate it. Some days but two
or three inches were drilled. 1t was es-
timated at 40 per cent iron and seemed
to be SO extensive that another hole
was drilled a considerable distance
away and the same stratum encount-
cred. The drilling proceeded to a
depth Of 1000 feet, when for some I'M
known reason the work was stopped.
1t was claimed at the time that the
drillers were over a fine bed Of anthra-
cite coal and it is believed that work
on the prospect will soon commence
again, as it is reported that represen-
tatives Of large operators have seen
this prospect and are very enthusiasts
tic over it.
Reports from Fifteen Mile and Ram
sey creeks say that excellent oil pros
poets have been found in that vicinity,
the taste and smell being SO strong
that the water cannot be used. and by
dropping a lighted match into the
wells it will burn.

Driven Out by Snow.

The crew of railroad surveyors, In
charge Of Ira c. Webb that mas been
surveying in the Big Bottom country
toward the CowlitZ pass in the in
terests of the Pacific Railway COM
pany, were driven in last week on ac-
count Of the heavy SHOWS in the noun
tains, says a Chehalis report. They
left their camping outfit and surveying
instruments in charge Of a small
squad in the Big Bottom. and will
await better weather before they pro-
coed with their work. This party start
ed in some two months ago about four
miles east of Morton, and has since
been surveying eastward through the
CowlitZ valley.

WASHINGTON, OREGON AND IDAHO
LAY MILES OF DOUBLE TRACK
NORTHERN PACIFIC WILL PUT IN
CREWS BETWEEN SAND POINT
AND PASCO.

That the Northern Pacific is to be
double tracked out of Spokane to the
east as far as Standpoint and to the
west as far as Pasco, the work to
commence at an early date, is the in
formation given by those who are to
have charge Of the work of construc-
ton.
It is said that three crews will be
put on in a few days on the work be-
tween Spokane and Pasco. From
men who are to go with the construc-
ton trains out of Spokane it is re-
ported that the first work will be done
at Sagemoor, a few miles this side of
Pasco. The work in that vicinity is
less apt to be interfered with by
wintry weather than at some other
points on the line to be improved.

Chrfstmas Day In Russia.

In certain parts Of Russia the chill
dren at Christmas eve begin playing
pranks that are as odd as they are
amusing. Chief among their drolleries
is that Of Disgusting themselves as ami
mails and in the assumed costume of
wild beasts disporting themselves
through the neighborhood. AS many
skins as possible are secured, and in
these the leading boys are clad. Wolves,
bears, ostriches even. are represented.
All Of the boys gather in one party,
those who are not posing as brutes
forming. a train for the escort and dis
play Of the pseudo menagerie. Some
act as keepers. holding their disguised
companions in check, while others star
tie the quiet Of the night by rude
strains drawn from harsh and print
tive musical instruments. Torches are
borne, and in the fitful light, opposed
by black shadows, the scene is at once
grotesQue and vivid.
