COAL VEIN DISCOVERED
BY LARAMIE YOUNG MAN

The coal vein referred to by Colonel
Bell in an item in The Republican yes
terday afternoon was discovered by
Louis Coughlin and a couple of friends
several years ago, while at work on
the plain with some cattle. There had
been a cloudburst at the head of some
of the small creeks in the neighbor-
hood, and the water went rushing
down the ravine at a tremendous rate.
The young men were working about
the place and saw where the vein had
been uncovered at intervals by the
shifting Of the sand and gravel. Mr..
Coughlin is sure there is a large vein
of excellent coal there, and believes the
time is no far distant when it will be
brought to the use mi benefit of the
people of this city and community.
