CARLOAD FROM CITIZENS MINE
GIVEN TRIAL IN SOME OF

Housewives Interested and Express
Satisfaction at Burning and Heat.
ing ouaIities-Property Examined
BY Mining Engineer from Denver
Few Days Ago.
BY Charles |. Patched.

While the first few cars of coal min
ed by the Citizens Coal company did
not give entire satisfaction, owing to
the fact hat they were taken from the
old drift, the quality of the car of
coal which was delivered yesterday to
local u fully justified the
faith of those who have backed the en-
terprise and was a serious blow to the
knockers, II of whom caused consid-
cradle amusement by following the
coal wagon and making caustic CD
remarks about the coal.
Tested In Ranges.
The coal delivered yesterday went
into the homes of Laramie citizens and
Laramie housewives had a chance to
test it thoroughly in their COOKING
ranges, and so far those interviewed
express themselves as entirely salts
fed. and it is safe to assume that
henceforth Citizens coal will be found
in a large majority of Laramie homes.
While the company has had many
discouraging delays in the develop
ment of its properties, it is expected
that sufficient shipments can now be
made to supply the local demand.
Business Men Interested.
Fortunately a large per cent of Lar
annie business men are interested in
the enterprise and are boosting it for
all they are worth. The company has
in the past few months spent many
thousands Of dollars among the local
merchants, and its success will add
materially to the commercial growth
of the city. The property vas given a
great boost during the recen visit of
George H. McGregor, a mining engi-
neer of Denver, who made an examina
ton of the coal, stating that depth
would give a grade of coal far superior
to Hanna or Rock Springs, as examina-
ton shows it Il be a gas coking coal.
Mr.. McGregor is not Interested in the
company and was asked to maize an
examination by local shareholders who
were greatly elated yer the result.
Another car will arrive this afternoon
and will be ready for delivery to local
customers.
