A NEW COAL PROVES GOOD.
Interesting and Successful Test of
Elk Coal.

About two weeks ago Mr.. Fred c.
Rupp, salesman for the Elk Coal COM
pany,. took several carload orders in
MaCkay. One of these was for the
Corey Brothers Construction company,
for use in their steam shovels and din
ky engines. It was understood that If
this trial car of coal proved satisfac-
tory q standing order for two or three
cars per week would be placed.
This meant that Elk coal was to re-
ceive a fair but rather severe test of a
thoroughly practical nature. as a coal
that will do good work on a steam
shovel viii do good work in almost any
kind of steam engine or plant. The
Elk Coal company regarded the test as
an important one, and their general
sales manager, Mr.. B. F. Cummings,
came to Mackay to witness it, and
should the coal meet it successfully, to
secure a contract.
The test was made in the larger of the
two steam shOvels operated by the
Corey Brothers Construction company,
and also in three 'dinky'' engines
The coal gave complete satisfaction in
all these cases. The engineer of the
steam shovel increased the pressure ten
pounds in fifteen minutes with the in
ject0r running, and told Mr.. Cummings
that the coal was as good as ne would
ask for" 1t also gave excellent salts
faction in the "dinky" engines. The re-
suit was a standing order for two cars
per week.
Two days before this, Judge KiIgore,
proprietor Of the Hotel Mackay. who
had just received a car of Elk coal, vol
unteered the information to Mr.. Cum
mings that it was good coal. Your
cook likes it, does he?" asked Mr.. Cum
mings. He likes it very much It is
clean, does not clinker, and burns with
a hot long, blue flame" was the reply
Judge, with your permission, l would
like to refer to you in regard to our
coal" said Mr.. Cummings. "AH right"
replied Judge KilgOTe. I'll tell any
body that it is good coal" He knows
good coal when he sees it burn, as he is
an old-time locomotive engineer.
These tests of Elk coal have estab-
lished it firmly in Mackay and vicinity.
and it will take the lead here from now
on, 1t is the cleanest coal ever discOv-
cred in the west. and makes a bed of
Goals that remains red many hours. 1t
burns TO a white ash, never clinkers.
and makes very little dirt, SCOT or
smoke. 1t is an ideal domestic coal.
The NJ. & c. 1. Stage company are local
agents and have Elk coal on hand. The
Elk coal mines are in Uinta county.
