LOOKING INTO A
WIDE COAL FIELD
Government Experts Push the
Work on Largest Field in
the Country.
Is ONE UNBR0KEN
STRETCH OF WEALTH
Geological Survey Tells What
Is and What is Not Coal
Land.

Years ago IL was learned that The ldrg-
est coal field In the United States is that
which extends from Casper and Douglas,
Wyo, uorthward TO the Canadian bound
eTy. All OF western North Dakota and
eastern Montana and that part Of Wyo-
ming lying between the Belle Fourche
and the Big Horns Is an unbroken field
OF low grade bitDDinous coal and Ignite,
AS the federal statutes providing for tho
sale of coal land by the general land OIL
flee specify only the minimum charge per
acre. the townships included in this great
coal field were withdrawn from entry
three years ago. and the secretary OF the
interior instructed the geological survey
to classify and value the land. This work
was begun in northern Wyoming last
year when party under y. Tan eN,
amined the area between sheridan and
w. Shaw, studied the Casper Douglas
end OF the field The work was continued
this year by II. s. Gale. who connected
with Mr.. Taff's work on the south ciassi-
tying the area about Buffalo and Tra-
blne, aud by Il. w, stone who carried
Mr.. Talf's work eastward from Clearmont
to Ro2et. MIR. Stone, who has Just re-
turned to Washington. has made the fol-
lowing statement OF the scope OF the sea-
sons work,
An OF the coal in this field lies near
" fat and in what are commonly known
as blanket seams that Is. il coal out
crops ON one side OF a hill 1T probably
extends through and will be found on
the other side of the hill at about the
same level. so that the geologist who can
read the natural signs can trace IL coal
bed for miles. even though no coal IS seen
on the surface.
Many rauchcrs appear 10 think that
as long as there is no coal in sight the
land cannot be classed as coal land. This
view is obviously erroneous. for oven a
twenty foot coal bed may be completely
hidden by grassy slope, and yet by
little digging may become paying mine.
Therefore such an operation az shoveling
down the top OF a bank TO conceal
coal bed at its base neither decelves
the eeologist nor makes nopcoal land out
OF coal land. The fact that there Is no
coal at the surface In a whole township
does not necessarily Imply that II is nom
coal land; there may be a workable
coal bed just below the surface, a fact
to be determined by examining tho
geology Of the surrounding area or by

FRANCE NOT INSANELY
JEALOUS OF SILVER

Louis Baais of Paris, France, a manu-
facturer Of precious metal and rich tex
tile fabrics, in ccnversing with rep
resentative OF the Wall Street Summary
on the development OF French commerce
in North Africa, said:
The recent purchase of silver by the
French republic was mainly for the COIN
age Of the metal for use in parts of North
Africa that are being rapidly developed
by French syndcates that deal in prod
ucts from an area Of 100000 square miles
rich in products used by the manufac-
turing drug trade \ good part OF this
trade is in guns. Skins, copper and brass
wire. and bolts of coarse cotton cloth
used TO be the chief articles used in the
French spheres OF influence in Africa Tor
barter. But within year or two our
merchants and factors In those regions
have been able to do business with
French silver coins. In proportion TO her
area OF territory In Africa, France is do
ing more for the extension Of the use of
silver in the forms OF bars and coins than
the British The Germans in Africa are
beginning to displace copper and brass
wi-c and cotton cloths for barter and are
using handsome silver coins, that please
the natives, y number of French pub
lictsts and bankers have bought largo
ly in North American silver producing
mine shares within a few months. France
never went mad on the gold mono metal
matter. She has always used liberal
quantities of silver coins. and is steadily
increasing her mintings OF silver for home
and colonial use

GREAT MERGER PLANNED
FOR MINING INDUSTRY

The most important recent develop
ment in the mineral industry IS the forth
coming plan 10 merge a large number OF
dividend paying metalliferous mines In
the west and southwest into one organ
lzation. which will posses the best fca-
lures OF the United States Steel corpora
tion. the General Electric company and
similar organizations, whose success is
due in large measure TO their system of
carrying on business through the super
vision OF committees OF broad-minded cE-
perts in finance, engineering, manufactur-
ing and transportation, says the Wall
Street Summary. When the plans now
under construction by some Of the great
est minds in the mineral industry for
merging these mines shall have been
adopted, there will follow an emission of
stock along the lines adopted by the or
gsnlzers OF the United States Stee! cor
poration. 1t is believed that the strength
OF the men at the head OF thls proposed
mining corporation win be factor thar

"T have seen big orders from New York

they Will leave the worst features of the
