coal has recently been discovered on
the homestead of Sidney Chase. The
quarter lies next to the bad lands, a
few acres Of it reaching in to the bad
lands, Here through large crack
several feet long and few inches
wide the fire was discovered. Mr..
Chase thinks it has just recently be.
come visible as he has lived here q
year and has seen old timers who
knew Of it. That it has been burn
ing for ages seems most certain as
there is no other visible burning mine
for eight or ten miles. When one seas

some such manner. The coal burning,

,ConMll len ERCIAL CLUB NOTES \

This has been busy winter for TIL
Commercial club, especially the pas
month, in which time nine conven
lions have been entertained AMI TAX
en- care of in the club rooms, the at
tendance at these state, affairs run
ming from rs to ESQ. o..
The city has been greatly crowded
at times but every man here has beer
furnished with a bed. At the hard
ware convention we found outside &C
commodations for over 60 people AMI
at the convention of the county com
missioners and auditors we found out
side accommodations for over Is peo'
pie, and had rooms for many more II
needed.
While the hotels have been crowded
to their limit during these conven
lions they should receive praise for
the splendid manner in which they
handled their guests and have helped
add to Bismarck's reputation as the
best convention city" in the state.
1t has been the almost unanimous YER
dict of the delegates here that Bis.
marck treated them better and gave
them better time han any city in
the state had given them.
At the hardware dealers convention
the travelling men had the first sepa-
rate hall for their exhibits they had
had anywhere in the northwest and
every one of the men left town boost
ing for the Commercial club, and,
best OF all, boosting for Bismarck.
The past two months have been so
crowded with meetings, social affairs
and legislative doings that there has
been no evening on which general
meeting Of the club could be called;
there have been directors meetings at
which routine work was disposed of,
but we hope to be able to find some
evening in the near future when the
members can get together and talk
over a large number of matters which
have recently come up whereby the
city will be greatly benefited.
The membership of the club is in
