WYOMING COAL
 CARRIES GOLD Coal which sells for SI.5O Per Ton Carries S2.74 in Min
 eraI

An interesting feature about hr coal mined al Cambria, Wyn., Is that il is claimed io br gold- bearing SOmr of the coal has contained as much as $2. per lGn in gold, and inc coal Was sold for only Si.50 per ton. When coke made at Cambria was selling for $3.50 per ton, samples were taken from 3i cars during a period of three weeks and aSSaycd. The samples showed an average of S2.i6 in gold and SO.28 in silver. The explanation offered for ihr presence of gold in lhiS coal iS that sands which submerged the old peat bog and now form the roof Of the coal bed were derived in part from the gOld-bcaring all luvium. While the sand was be- ing deposited the gold worked down into the underlying bog and is now found in the coal.
 This is one of the interesting statements made in report to be published in a few days by the U. S. Geological Survey. IL is bull lctin No. i99. entitled Coal near the Black Hills, Wynming-Snuih Dakota," by R. w. Stone.

WHEAILEY'S PLACE
IS RAIDEO AGAIN.
Chief Kenny Conducts Raid on Al
legged Third Street Gambling
House and confIscates
Gambling Apparatus.
SEER AND wHIsKEY'
Big Crowd Watches Police Work on
Search Warrant Issued a Week
Ago by the County
Attorney.
SEER AND WHIsKEY

Yesterday afternoon Chief Kenny
and four officers raided the gambling
house and bootlegging joint of John
(Peg) Wheatley at 1919 South Third
street, while about five hundred peo-
pie looked on at the proceedings The
officers were armed with a search
warrant issued over week ago by
County Attorney Theodore A. Craig.
After quite a long delay caused by
the fact that the proprietor had to go
up stairs and unlock the door, which
had a spring lock, the officers gained
entrance to the place and as they
made their entrance, they caught a
glimpse OF men swarming through the
hatchway to the roof OF the building,
trying to make their getaway before
the officers discovered their presence
In the house.
Chief Kenny secured the names of
about twenty men frequenters of the
place and these will be called as
witnesses when the case comes to
trial. Fifty-nine half-pints of whiskey,
swo two-gallon jugs of whiskey and six
quart bottles were confiscated to-
gether with five cases of beer. In the
gambling rooms the. police picked up
a poker table, four slot machines, one
crap table, one box of cards, one box
of dice and one box Of chips.
Chief Kenny said there was no
rambling going on at the time of the
raid but that there was evidence that
the room had been recently vacated,
as there was a great deal of tobacco
smoke floating in the air and burning
cigar and cigarette Stubs lying around
Commissioner Gray, Chief Kenny
and County Attorney Craig were the
onif men who knew that raid was
contemplated, although the search
warrant was issued over week ago.
Only; the chief knew when the raid
was to be made, according to his
statement this morning.
County Attorney Craig stated today
that the matter would be called to
the immediate attention of the grand
jury, now in session and would be
considered in their final report, which
Is expected some time this week If
an indictment is found on this case 1t
will be the fourth one returned
against Wheatley at this session OF
that body. Orders for the destruction
of the property will be given this
week, said Mr.. Craig.
During the progress of the raid a
big crowd, numbering almost five hun
bred people, watched the police work
and when the patrol wagon was back.
cd up to the entrance Of the place,
the crowd was SO dense that the driv-
er had difficulty in getting out.
