NeVddd'S Coal
Mining Industry

The coal mining industry Of Ne
yada is fast assuming a proportion
that will eventually place it among
the topnotchers in the state. The
coal mines at Coaldale are now ex-
tracing coal that is nearly an equal
to the Rock Springs article. H. C.
Petty, a pioneer mining man of this
district, was in town yesterday from
his property, which is located about
six miles from Blair Junction, and
states that he will start shipping his
product here Immediately. Mr..
Betty located this coal some seven
years ago and shortly after that
started sinking on one of the veins.
On the surface there are seven par
allel veins which average in width
from eight to eighty feet. He now
has a shaft down about 20S feet, and
at the bottom there is about forty
two inches of excellent coal. In
speaking of this property yesterday,
Mr.. Petty stated:
II have had a thorough analysis
made of the coal and find 1t contains
81 per cent carbon, one-half Of one
per cent sulphur, and 1900 cubic
feet of gas. At the bottom Of the
shaft the entire vein is about twenty
feet wide, but 1t Is my intention to
skip only the best to Tonopah and
Goldfield, and the shipments will
come from the forty-two-inch streak
from which | had the analysis made.
Frorl the indications | should have
at least seven or eight feet of COOL
anthracite when the shaft has reach
ed twenty feet more in depth. The
grade has been increasing greatly
from the 150-foot level down and
there is no telling what amount OF
the best grade VIII be found at an
other 100 feet.
The capacity of the mine at pres
ent is about fifteen tons a day, but
when ! have a irst-class hosting
plant in operation, over fifty tons
daily should be mined easily.
81 have induced a number of the
business houses of Tonopah to allow
me to send them a small shipment of
the coal to try in their furnaces. and
when they see that it is really good
then | will start in and make regular
shipments, not only to Tonopah but
to Goldfeld. The cost of transports
ton is small as the railroad will haul
1t for $3.50 per ton and the expense
OF taking it to the depot at Blair
Junction will not aggregate over
81 a ton, According to this the con
sumers should be able to purchase IT
at a price not more than $40 a ton.
Indications of coal can be found
over the entire country, and at pres
ent a number of oil concerns are In
the district and when they start Dor
ing | expect their developments 10
disclose the extent Of the anthracite
bearing area. This coal will als-
make excellent coke, and as it does
not slack when exposed to the ele.
ments. there is no reason why the
coal mining industry of southern Ne
vada should not 10 one of its largest
assets in a short time"

For several years had suffered iIf- tensely with an irritating and disagree able case of catarrh. The disease made my throat dry and parched, the bronchial tubes lnfiamed and sore. the nasal glands would swell and get ten der, and the trouble gave me much annoyance. To add to the intensity of my sufferings l became somewhat deaf in one ear. I doctored for a long time without any real relief until l useu a treatment of Hyomei, and this valuable remedy cured the catarrhal deafness. relieved the bronchial trouble and 10 it I give. entire credit as a specific for catarrh and for clearing out the tubes and glands that are always affected by this disagreeable trouble. I heartily endorse the use of Hyomei. We have also found Hyomei to be excellent for breaking up coughs, colds and sore throats, especially in cases of chil- dren."-E. A.
