LOWER FREIGHT
 RATES ON COAL

On November 2Oth new rates on coal, coke, charcoal and bri- que,tes will go into effect on the Santa Fe Railroad from Gallup, New Mexico, which will materi ally reduce the cost of this win ter's fuel to the people of north ern Arizona.
 As result of efforts put forth by the Arizona Corporation Commission, the Santa Fe Rail. road has put there reduced rates into effect, but not satisfied that the reductions are as low as they should be made, the Commission has already forwarded to the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion a complaint asking for still lower rates on coal.
 Industrial plants and consum- CTS in general throughout nor thern Arizona will be saved several thousand dollars on this years coal shipments.
 Recently the Corporation Com missioners began to study the coal rate situation from Gallup to Arfzona points deciding that the railroads should make ma terial reductions for the benefit of consumers. When the matter was presented to the Freight Departments of the Santa Fe Road, they consented to make important changes. However, before the matter IS disposed ot by the Interstate Commerce Commission, it is probably that t there will be still further reduc- tions as result of evidence winch will be introduced on be- half of the Arizona consumers.
 Comparison between the rates now effective and those which will go into effect on November 2Oth, show the following reduc- tions on shipments from Gallup, New Mexico. to points in Ari- zona east of Ash Fork

COAL CLAIMANTS
 AWARDED PATENT

tember Z, al persons who made entries in the Navajo county coal fields will now be granted pat ents.
 This announcement affects the celebrated coal fields of southern Navajo county, which were filed upon three years ago by Prescott locators. since which time the elimination of the strip acquired has been under consideration. After patiently awaiting official action since that time title has at last been acquired. The fol- lowing residents of Prescott, ac- cordingly, receive absolute title to 160 acres each of coal lands, which have been appraised by government engineers at from $500 to 5000 per acre: George Merwin, H. R. Wood, P. C. Will der, Robert Heating, Ben Silver man, ]. M. w. Moore, Fred C. Moore, A. C. Massey, J. E. Rus sell, w. A. Cline, ]. 1. Gardner, !. H. Mulrein, w. L. Fox. Har- Vey Blain, w. L. Fox, E. And rews, H. F. Ashurst, George M. Hubbell, Henry Rockmark.
 This new coal field is situated about sixty miles south of Hol- brook, and before fled upon by the above locators, was thor oughly investigated with deter minations that attracted very much-attention i'll the existence of coal beds that were of astoun. ding proportions. Government engineers since that time have made limited explorations and reported tavorably. Coincident with official notification being received at Washington of the filings made by the above citi- zefls, an order was made with drawing from entry any addl tional coal lands i'll that section, from which acton the 'desirabil- ity of the land for coal mining purposes was instantly recog- nized.
 The closing up of this import ant transaction and the exist euce of coal field that has at tracted very much attention since it reached official channels, Is one of the most interesting that has ever. taken place i'll mining annals of the country, so far as the original discovery Is to be considered. As long ago as 1885 George Merwin passed, through that country while evading a band of Apaclles on thewarpath and was beifg drlven to the west, or toward Bakers Butte. Camping for the night in d ra. vine with q companion, he notic- ed the peculiarity of the big dyke hanging overhead. when with a miners inclination he made an investigation of the formation. which startled him in showing an immense coal condition to be i'll evidence. His observations extended to other points also, but was limited as to time owing to the perilous s1tua tion in which he was placed. Returning to Prescott he withheld information of the discovery for several years or until the country was made secure from attack by the In dians. Every year for decade thereafter, he importuned inves tors to go into the field and in vestigate, but his efforts proved fruitless until the above resi- dents of this city took the mat ter up and the locations were made as indicated. In recent months travellers through tn, country state that in addition to the coal land values, the tim Der on the land included within

There are two things probably RESPONSE
BILE for their silence. One of them is that
they are waiting TO hear from Oyster

not arrived home so they may confer
