BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE, WE
known for man wears that coal ex-
listed in large quantities along the
bluffs Of the river and even inland
for esYeral miles.
Plenty Of Coal.
Along Dead Man s. and ggie
Brown coulees, in the bluffs around
the EslSes' homestead, at Elm point
and other places along the river,
coal has been taken out for many
years and in the interior at the Lacy
and Saturland mines coal has been
known to exist in an abundance, but
the drilles put down in the SOS by
the Standring people showed a wealth
that has been kept rather secret and
the extensive drilling done BY the
w. D.. Washburn people has shown
the same results. Il.
But when a little of this informa-
ton leaked out it was at once claim
ed that the people doing the work
had an object in view and that the
report was colored to suit the occa
sion. Later developments go to
show that there was an object in
view in making these borings and
that while but little was said the
rea: facts never divulged and the
late well drilling all over the terri
tory correspond exactly with the lit
tie stated by the other people nam
ed and show that the reports were
absolutely true. f
In a we'll put down in December
last only short distance southwest
of Underwood the well driller,
reputable man, reports twenty-five
feet Of coal at depth of thirty
feet below the surface. This CORES
ponds with a report of the driller
working for the Washburn people
some years earlier when he reports
at about the same horizon a body of
coal twenty-seven feet thick, inter
spersed with two feet of clay. Other
drill holes show the same results.
This applies to the entire territory
referred to, but, of course. in a mod
fled form in many parts Of it. n
The clays of the section are es-
pecially valuable for brick and terra
Gotta. And while but little has so
far been done to develop this in
dustry, there is every reason to pre-
dict that ere long it will be done.

A Live Town with Future
7 That Underwood is a live, hust-
ling town with bright future as
sured cannot be doubted. Many peo-
pie thought that when the railroad
was built further in the summer
of 1905 that the growth of the town
would be retarded, but such has not
been the case and instead of decline
the growth has been much greater
and the future prospects are for still
more development.
The town has fourteen stores of the 4
different lines of commercial business
usual in such towns besides seven
elevators and grain warehouses, al
200 barrel -four mill, three lumber
yards, three livery barns, two banks,
two hotels, three restaurants, three
blacksmith shops, two meat markets, &
one cement block factory, two news
papers, two real estate Offices, three
lawyers and two physicians A good
public school and four churches. s
The people in the town and the
surrounding country are progressive
and liberal and are building upon
the right lines and are also trying
hard to get others to come and help
them develope the resources that ma
ture has SO lavished upon the country
