COAL MINES AT
 OUR ' VERY DOOR Section Foreman for Iron Mountain Made What Is Believed to Be a Most Valuable Discovery.
WAS DIGGING CRAVE
Blossom Coal Unearthed Three Feet Below the Surface of the Earth State Geologist To Investigate Land Owned by W. F. Campbell.

While section foreman of the 1 Iron Mountain railroad was having a grave dug for a horse which was killed by train on that road near Jefferson Springs recently, he dis covered layer of coal, about three feet from the surface of the ground The place is about a quarter of a mile from the railroad station and steps have already been taken to make a further investigation of this important discovery. The coal was found entirely by accident, as many things which lead to greater ones are discovered.
 The layer of coal which was found is between two and three feet thick, and is very soft, known as blossom coal, but when it was set afire, it burned with ease. It is thought by the people living in that section that much better coal can be obtained deep CT in the ground, and it is very like ly that a stock company will be formed in few weeks to investigate the matter to the fullest extent Henry Marx of this city was in
 Jefferson Springs Friday, and he stated that the residents of Jefferson Springs are greatly elated over their find and that they think something magnificent will be developed from it. They will notify the state geologist at Fayetteville, Professor A. H. Pur- due, and it seems probable that he will visit Jefferson Springs in few days, and give his opinion whether it will be profitable to develop this industry, for which there may be a great future
 For a long time it has been thought by some geologists that coal was un- derground in abundance between this city and Little Rock, and some of the old geologists of this state stated this fact in some of their books, but not until a few days ago, was there any yerification of it worthy of mention. At least this is the strongest proof in favor of that theory that has ever been given.
 Just what course this discovery may take, canont be seen as yet It may be developed and great things may be in store for Jefferson Springs. On the other hand, it may prove to be of no value. It is thought, though, that plenty of coal of the quality known as Arkansas anthracite is to be found in this county. If this is so Jefferson Springs may have discov- cred an industry whose development may be the making of the town.
 The land on which this coal was discovered was formerly the proper ty of Charles Veil, the we'll known merchant-planter of this city, but tt has been learned that it now belongs to w. F. Campbell, prominent planter of this county.

To Hold Public Reception Tuesday Eevning at New Quarters and All the Git
 izens of City Are Invited.
MAGNIFICENT PLACE
Regalia of the Lodge Destroyed by | Fire in June, 1906-Committees
 from Lafayette Lodge and Pythian
 Sisters to Receive.

On next Tuesday, July 30, Lafayette lodge No. 101, K. of F., will give a "house warming" reception to the adult white citizens of Pine Bluff in it's new and beautiful home, No 309 1-2 West Second avenue, opposite the Elks theater.
 A committee from the lodge and tn 5 auxiliary order, the Pythian Sisters will receive and serve the guests The hours for the reception are from 5 to p. m. and from 8 to II D. m All the new robes, regalia, etc, of the lodge will be on exhibition. Noth- ing will be kept back except the goat.
 It is especially hoped that the la- dies will attend and see the place where their men folk" speLd the evening when they attend lodge.
 In the month of June, 1905 the third story of the Bank of Pine Tiff building, in which Lafayette and other lodges held their meetings, was destroyed by fire. Parapherna,ja amounting to over thousand dollars together with other property was lost by Lafayette lodge. With it's accus- toned Pythian spirit, the sister lodge, Imperial-Juliet No. 6, iinredi- ately rendered the use of it's Castle Hall and paraphernalia until Lafay- cite lodge could recover from it's loss.
 Several opportunities were offered to join with other orders in fitting up meeting place but the odse dez cided to wait until it could secure q Castle Hall that would be especially / adapted to meet the requirements Of the lodge, built according to it's own plans and be the equal if not the superior of any in the state. A con- tract was made with Knox Scull whereby he erected the two story brick opposite the Elks theater, in the second story of which the Castle Hall of Lafayette lodge is located.
 The lodge room is very spacious, being forty feet wide and sixty feet long with fourteen-foot ceiling. Numerous large windows on three sides give an abundance of light and ventilation. The wood work is fin ished in hard oil with polished hard wood floor. The walls and ceiling are tinted in soft and mellow shades, the ceiling being handsomely decorated in water colors. The arrangement of toilet locker, reception and banquet rooms are all in accordance with the best ideas. The electrical work is very elaborate, comprising separate circuits for lights, fans, stereopticon and special wiring for lighting vari- ous parts of the rank work. Lafay- cite lodge feels a just pride in it's new home and no doubt our citizens will respond in gratifying numbers to it's cordial invitation to partake of it's Hospitality, see it's beautiful new home and bid them Godspeed in their en- deavor to strengthen the bond Of un- ion and fraternalism between man and man
