Coal Found

GOLDFIELD, October 19.-While
searching for gold-bearng ore about
twenty miles southeast OF this city a
few days ago Victor Stancher, a
well known prOspector OF this district
happened upon a ledge Of bituminous
rock, which burns readily and which
he declares may lead to the discovery
OF coal deposit The ledge has
been cut across the surface and at
the bottom Of the prospect drift is
more than twenty feet across. The
rocks burn for hours and when the
flame finally dies out only a few
Slassy-like particles are left.
EXpers who have viewed the rock
say that the ledge may open up inte

Twelve feet OF ore assaying $40

OF $50 ore, was struck a the Daisy

The strike follows up predictions
made by number OF visitors to the
property and it is also what has been
consistently predicted by the owner,
Geo. Whitcomb. Within a few feet
OF surface, on the big dixie which he
was prospecting, ore was obtained
showing free gold, and which when
roasted, panne dexceedingly well.
To cut this and other veins at depth
a tunnel has been driven and Thurs
days strike was the result.
The high grade vein was exposed
at a depth of 100 feet from surface,
which is sufficient to indicate strongly
that the ore body is permanent.
Further evidence of permanencv is
indicated by the presence of sui
