NEVADA OPAL FIND
SAID TO BE GENUINE

Lindsay DEMO. one Of the owners of the
opal property recently located at Thou
sand creek, near the Oregon line, after
spending few days in town, returned to
his home at DEMO yesterday morning,
SAYS the WinnemuCca Star. While I'm
town he exhibited quite a number Of the
gems just as they came from the dig
gings. Although in the rough. some of
the stones are beautiful, showing the
fiery red and green color that is char
acteristic of the finest opals.
Among the lot of stones shown by Mr..
DEMO was a black opal. which is consid-
Erred the most precious in the category of
these particular gems. 1t resembles very
much the obsidiau found on the deserts.
but scintillates with fiery red and when
cut will be a beautiful stone. It is said
that the black opal is very much sought
after on account of its rarity.
The opals are found in a clay bed of ex-
tensive area The stones have been found
wherever holes have been sunk and they
are quite numerous. AS taken out the
stones vary i'm size from tiny ones to those
as large as marbles. The smaller ones,
of course, have little value, but some of
the opals which have been already found
are quite valuable. Mr.. DEMO and his as
sociates will probably form a company
to operate their property and install the
necessary machinery for cutting the
stones at the mine instead of sending them
away.
Thousand creek is situated about 125
miles northwest from Winnemucca, near
the Oregon line.

NORTH WYOMING
FULL OF COAL
Sheridan SubbituminouS Field
Covers 1000 Square
Miles of Area.

The Sheridan coal field covers about 1000
square miles in northeastern Wyoming,
extending southwark from the Montana
Wyoming boundary about twenty-seven
miles and eastward from the base of the
Bighorn mountains about forty miles.
Sheridan, the commercial center of the
coal fields Of northeastern Wyoming and
the largest town in the northern part of
the state. is situated in the western part
of this field, and Dietz, Csrneyville, Mon
arch and koOi are thriving mining COM
munities within it Commercial mining
began in this district in 1898. but coal OF
workable thickness was mined for domes-
tic use by ranchmen at the present loca-
ton of Dietz as early as 1880.
Nature and Uses of the Goals.
The Goals Of the Sheridan district are
classed as subbituminOus. Chemical an
alySes show that as a whole they have
higher heat values and are therefore more
efficient fuels than the better grades OF
lignites, from which they are distinctly
separate in quality. and they are distiD-
guished from |bituminous Goals chiefly by
their relatively high percentage of mOis-
ture, their difference in luster, and their
inability to Withstand weathering. Prior
to 1900 they were used principally for do
nestle fuel and were not considered avail
able for stesming purposes, especially
where strong drafts and small fire spaces
were used. In 1900 the Burlington railroad
began series of tests in its locomotives,
and by the use of specially constructed
CRATES Of large area, with modified fire
boxes and stacks, burned the Sheridan
coal with very satisfactory results, and
coal from all the beds now mined is used
extensively in locomotives and stationary
engines.
The coal mined in this district Is used
in large quantities by the Burlington rail-
road, but il IS also marketed in Wyoming,
in Nebraska as far east as Omaha, in the
Black Hills region. at Billings, Butte and
other points in Montana, and as far west
as Idaho and Washington
