Fl. A. Darms. of the Darms Coal
Mining Co, was an arrival this week
from Coaldale, says the Tonopah Boz
nanza, where he has been developing
his holdings, and reports the prop
erty in excellent shape and that the
tests that have been made on the coal
shows that it is of a good commercial
quality Mr. Darms said:
1--WE are now down 4S0 feet and
the ledge is about at IS degrees and
is pitching toward the fiat, where we
expect to get the biggest body OF coal
and also to cut it at that point, where
it will be OF high grade. We are
ready at any time to commence ship
ping, as the ledge is carrying eight
feet of high class coal and gives as a
residue a fine, clean ash, and the tests
that we have made show that for heat
ing and boiler use that it cannot be
excclled. As soon as we have com
pleted the preparations which we have
in mind we will commence to ship.
We already have secured number
of contracts and VII be prepared to
supply the trade At present we are
working six men. but as soon as the
boarding house is completed we viii!

WYOMING MINING
COAL CARRYING
COLD VALUES

An interesting feature about the
coal mined at Cambria, Wyo.. is that
it is claimed 80 be gold bearing. Some
Of the coal has contained as much as
So per ton in gold. and the coal was
sold for only 81 50 per ton. When
coke made at Cambria was selling Tor
$3.50 per ton samples were taken from
81 cars during period OF three weeks
and assayed The samples showed an
average OF 81 40 per ton i'll gold and
So % in silver. The explanation of
fered for the presence of gold in this
coal is that the sands which sub
merged the old peat bed were derived
in part from gold bearing alluvium
While the sand was being deposited
the gold worked down into the under
lying bog and is now found i'll the

The kaiser's Memoirs.

From the Indianapolis News.
Since his coming to the throne, in 1883,
Kaiser Wilhelm II. has been writing his

that work. He says that these writings
are not to appear until 10 years after his
death, and it may be, If he becomes dis
satisfied with his work, that he will throw

intimates, who have seen some pages of
his manuscript, speak of the great frank
ness and candoT with which he writes OF
his own ministers and those of other SOW
ereigns. of his relatives and of his allies.
1t is said that these Demoirs will disclose

a few reproaches, without bitterness. at

LINGERIE FROCK IS
BEST FOR MORNING
French Women Inclined To Ac-
cept 1t AS Seasons Most
Adaptable Creation.

Next to linens the French woman
seems to favor the lingerie frock for
mornings. This never is an elaborate
affair, yet none the less is it a confec-
ton. And usually it Is of white and a
color. That is to say that a frock of
fine white wolfe is likely to show on it's
narrow n clinging skirt a scant
f%lounccs of color striped wolfe. This
flounce is as different from the
LOUNGES of - years ago as are the
plaitings of 1906 from those of the pres
ent season. If the fashionable flounce
were caught in at it's lower edge it
quite easily could pass for an applied
bordering. h characteristic is fur
ther borne out by it's d shaping, for
it often is higher at the sides than else
where.
On several ultra-smart white wolfe
frocks recently seen, a sort of panel,
starting from the left upper edge of
the trimming. extends as high as the
knee Wide bands of the color-striped
material are used for chevrons running
from the throat across the shoulders,
and half way own the sleeves of the
blouse. Stripings also show in the
frills at the elbows, in the little loops
defining the loW-cut o~ver-waist and in
the neck band and short jabot on the
white null guimpe. And this color in
variably is repeated in the hand-em-
broidered pattern decorating the blouse
at front and at back.
