COAL FIELDS OF
Wind RIVER REGION

Ae result of Investigations made
by f. G. Woodruff and Dean f Win
chester, the United States Geological
Survey has pust published as Bulletin
41l-G. report on the coal fields of
the Wind river region, in Fremont and
Natrona counties, Wyoming. The
primary purpose of the investigation
was to obtain data for the classified
tion of the public land and to collect
information relating to the amount
and character of the coal in order to
fix price at which such land should
be offered for sale.
The Wind river coal fields comprise
an area of about $500 square miles
and include the geographic center of
the state. This region has been
known to contain coal of commercial
value since some of the earlier ex-
plorers examined coal beds along Popo
Agie river. Only small mines were
opened, however, because the sparse
settlement afforded very uttle local
market and there was no commercial
market which could be reached until
l906, when the Wyoming & Northwest
ern railroad was completed from Cas-
per to Lander.
The coal, which is a low-grade BIZ
luminous coal, when reduced to a
coarse powder is black but when crush
ed to very fine state is dark brown.
1t burns with a short red flame,
ignltes readily, and produces ash not
inclined to clinker. When burned in
stove the coal does not fuse and
shows no tendency to coke.
The Wind river coal is best adapted
for domestic fuel, but it has been en-
ployed satisfactorily under stationary
boilers, in limekilns and in similar
places where forced draft is not re-
qulred. Owing to the rapidity with
which it disintegrates, the coal must
be shipped in box ears and can be held
in storage only a short time after it
is mined. This results in mining only
in winter, when fuel is needed for i'm
mediate use and when mining is more
difficult and more expensive than in
summer.
| The market for coal in the Wind
river region is limited to few. towns
along the railroad and to widely sepa-
rated ranches in the area. Conse-
quently the product of the large mines
must be shipped to places reached bv
railroads outside of the region. In
these markets, however, the coal is
brought into competition with that
from other fields in Wyoming and in
Iowa, where mining conditions are
generally more favorable or where a
better grade of coal is obtained.

rector of the Geological Survey, Wash
ington, d. c..

SCION OF GERMAN NOBILITY
ARRIVES IN WINNEMUCCA

Count Max VonBuelow, said to be a
relative of the great German Chancel-
lor, arrived in town this morning, via
the Western Pacific, from Elko. The
Count is a rather picturesque charac-
ter, having had a somewhat checkered
career. He was formerly a lieutenant
in the German navy, where he saw
considerable of the world and in or
der to see the balance of it, re-
signed his position, since which
time he has been a rover In
Telluride, Colorado, some years ago,
he married an old-fashioned German
woman, 30 years his senior, said to
have amassed fortune of more than
a million dollars in mining. The Count
states, however, that her only use for
a man seemed to be to place him at
work and collect his wages, which
penchant soon led to a misunderstand-
ing and divorce.
The Count arrived in town a little
short of funds and is willing to accept
any light job, such as splitting wood,
blacking stoves, etc.

1.-THE PSALM OF LIFE"
(Contributed.)

(lOntTlDuttu.)
Tell me not in mournful numbers
Life is but an empty dream,
For of all good things a going
Old maids surely get the cream.
Life is real, life is earnest;
Getting married s not life's goal;
Happy is the single maiden,
Though she live until she's old.
Not the bore of housewives IS duties
Is her destined end or way;
But she finds of life new beauties
In her walk of every day.
Art is long and time is fleeting;
The housewife though strong ant
brave,
Still like muffled drum is beating
Her own funeral march to the grave
In the worlds broad field of battle
In the bivouac of life,
Be not so foolish as to marry,
Never be a worried wife.
Trust no gallant however pleasant,
You must be by prudence led.
If YOU listen to his pleading
You may wish that you were dead.
Lives of "old maids all remind us
We can make our live the same;
And departing leave behind us
No cross kids to mourn our name.
Lives the bliss of (which we envy
With no socks to mend or darn;
And no grizzled, bearded husband.
Let us then be up. and doing,
Practicing on saying "No'
To the gallant who proposes
With a heart as cold as snow

Massey's Record Compares Favorably
With That of Predecessors.

Nevada has always been particular
ly fortunate in the character and abil-
ity of her Representatives in Congress.
Those whom the people have honored
by election to the National hall of
legislation have been recognized as
leaders by the foremost men in both
Senate and House, and in debate on
important subjects, as well as in
shaping legislation in committees, Ne
vada IS representatives have always
taken a prominent part.
One may recall the signal services to
the country of such Senators as Stew
art, Jones, Cassidy, Nye, Nixon, but
than Senator W. A. Massey, whom the
people will elect in November. AL
though he entered the Senate toward
the close of the session, his undoubted
ability and high character were recog-
nized Immediately, and he was ap-
pointed to some of the most influen-
tial committees, where most of the leg
islation is perfected nowadays. But
it was not only in committee that Sen
ator Massey demonstrated his worth.
His address to theSenate when the Pan
anna canal bill was under considera-
tion was masterful presentation of
the rights ofthe United States to con-
duct its own administration of affairs
within the canal zone without regard
to British construction of the terms
of the HayPoncefote treaty. He
showed the fallacy of the pro-British
claims of broken faith on the part of
the United States. So forcefully and
ably did Senator Massey uphold this
country's rights to adopt and admin
lister its own toll policy that other
Senators accepted his views, reiterat-
ed them in the Senate, and the clam
or in the British press soon ceased
when it was manifest that the United
States Senate refused to surrender
any right of America over American
territory the view expressed by
Senator Massey.

A Pleasing Incident.

The Western Nevada Miner of Nina,
speaking of the Massey meeting there,
says:
"a pleasant incident 'of the meet
ing was when Richard Stringfellow,
who is an old time Southern Demo
erat, and who is a railway postal
clerk on the Nevada and California
between Nina and Keeler, stepped for
ward and personally thanked Senat-
or Massey for the strong and success,
full fight he made for the rights and
welfare of the postal clerks in the
Senate, and wished him success in his
fight for reelection.

COL. ROOSEVELT
SHOT BY CRANK
Especial to the Silver State.)

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. 15.-Col
Roosevelt was shot last night as he
left the Gilpatrick hotel in Milwaukee
to speak at the Coliseum. The would
be assassin was arrested and saved
from the violence Of the crowd. He
gave the name Of John Schrank, of
New York. Thr man appears to be q
visionary crank and said he was di-
reeted by the spirit of VIM. Mckinley.
Schrank was prevented from firing a
second shot by Secretary Albert Mar
tin, who bore him to the ground. At
ter the shooting Roosevelt looked at
the man curiously and told the crowd
not to hurt him.
Wound Only Superficial
Roosevelt insisted on making his
speech at the Auditorium after three
physicians pronounced the wound su-
perfcial. People in the front rows in
the hall could see blood on the Col
onel's clothing and he made his
speech in low tones, talking for more
than an hour. Then he was rushed to
an emergency hospital and placed on
an operating table. The bullet was
large and entered the right breast
half way between the collar bone and
lower rib. The patient joked with the
surgeons while under the X-rav exami-
nation. He left the hospital unassist-
ed and was reported to be resting
easy in his private car on the trip to
Chicago.
Will Make No More Speeches
The Chicago surgeons at Mercy hos
pital, where Roosevelt was taken, say
that the bullet did not penetrate the
lungs and that he will be in the hos
pital for ten days. 1t was found that
the bullet was not poisoned, and there
is no fear of serious results. 1t is an
nounced that Roosevelt will not make
any more campaign speeches unless
unforeseen contingencies arise.
Surgeons Issue Bulletin.
The official statement issued at
1890 O'Clock this morning states that
the wound is deep but has missed
vital points. The range was upward
and inward, distance of four inches
in the chest wall. Condition is hope
full, but wound is so important as to
demand rest for many days. Signed,
