OREGON MAY
HAVE GREAT
BODY OF COAL

Gold HILL Or, Oct. 31-That the
entire Sans valley and Meadows dis
tricts and intervening territory are
underlaid with coal is indicated by
the stories told by old residents since
the recent discovery of black Ignite
in Sans valley at a point seven miles
from this place. 1t Seems highly
probable that a belt of country over
80 miles in length, extending from
the Upper Meadows to Roxy Ann
mountain, east of Medford, where
true bituminous coal has Just been
found, is coal-bearing. A big vein
of black Ignite is open in the Upper
Meadows district, and has been
worked desultorily for years.
The recent discovery on the Ship
ley-Miller place shows the continua-
tion of the belt under an intervening
low range of hills into Sans valley.
This discovery is in the northern erQ
of the little valley, and that coal
exists in the southern section, sew
eral miles distant, and perhaps un-
derlying the belt of fine farming land
between, is indicated by discovery
made in 1879. A we'll went dry or
the McClendon place, and in deepen
ing it a two-inch vein was cut at a
depth of IS feet. This coal was of
excellent quality, being termed can
die coal" at the time, because
small piece of it when lightede would
burn with a clear, steady flame un-
til nothing was left but a light ash
residue.

San Francisco, Oct. 31.-The fall

a dispatch received today from its
Hongkong correspondent by the
Young China.
Rebel troops are meeting with but
little resistance in their operations
about the city. Rebels in Shan ST

captured the city of Sex Gar Jong,

of imperialists on the Yellow river
near there.
In Canton, and in Quan Tong prov

is again in the hands of the Chinese
revolutionists, although large part
of the city Is heap. of blackened

Hankow came in wireless messages
from the British warships, They say
the final battle came on Sunday and
that the imperial troops, badly beat

Crossing the river from WI Chang

When the first bodies of rebels

many important measures were read

Councilman Lafkey has been work

needs and drawing up resolutions for
the city's improvement. His first
resolution, however, to lay a five
loot concrete walk along both sides
of Mission street from Commercial to
the railroad met with defeat, owing
to the opposition started by Council
man Waring and taken up by Durbin
and Huckestein, who objected to the
resolution on the ground that great
portion of the work was unnecessary
and premature A substitute resolu-
ton was introduced omitting that
portion of Mission lying beyond the

opposition, it was passed
