Following is the address of DR.. A.
g.. Leonard, state %geologist, before the
North Dakota Society Of Engineers:
The Ignite coal fields of North Da-
kota cover an area of approximately
5000 square miles in the western
part Of the state and the total tonnage
Of workable coal has been estimated
at 500, 900, 000, 900. No other state in
the union has so much coal as has
North Dakota, and few realize the
vastness Of our in this valu-
BILE mineral.
The coal beds are confined to two
formations, namely, the Fort Union
and Lance. The Fort Union is n
of the most important and best known
formations of the northwest. 1t COW
ers a vast area east of the Rocky
mountains, stretching from Wyoming
to the Arctic ocean in the valley Of
the Mackenzie river, including sever
al Canadian provinces, much of North
Dakota, eastern Montana, southwest
ern South Dakota and eastern Wyo-
ming.
The Fort Union is a fresh water
formation, the beds having been de-
posted in a large lake or lakes, and is
composed of clay shaes, alternating
with s~andstones, and containing many
beds of Ignite. 1t is remarkably uni

peaTance throughout the region. The
prevailing color is either a light ash
grey or yellow, blu in places the beds
are almost white. The Fort Union
formation everywhere contains nu-
merous beds of Ignite coal. &
The Lance formation has a wide dis
tribution in North Dakota and eastern
Montana, as well as in parts of South
Dakota and Wyoming. The largest
area in North Dakota Is in the south
central part of the state. A smaller
area is found in the southwestern cor
ner of the state. In Morton county
this formation is found to consist of
three members; an upper sandstone
about 100 feet thick, a middle member
composed of dark shales with q few
sandstone layers and having a thick
ness Of 200 to $50 feet, and a lower d.
vision made UP of shales and sand
stones in alternating layers. This lat
ter member has a thickness of $50
feet or over, and the maximum thick
ness of the entire Lance formation is
not far from 700 feet in this region.
In southern Billings county, partic-
ularly in the vicinity of Yule, and at
several points in Morton county,
workable beds of Ignite are found in
the Lance formation, but throughout
most of its area the latter is barren
Of coal with the exception of thin
seams only a few inches thick. In

IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

This happened years ago when form
er Judge Lauder was the states attor-
ney Of RichIand county and was locat-
ed in Wahpeton.
There was a case to be tried in
which n Of the men who resided near
W~ahpeton, the county seal, had been
charged with stealing wheat from a
neighbor. The states attorney and the
defendants attorneys were busily en-
gagged In marking" the jury list. This
means that each side to the c%ontroV-
ersy had the right to mark off, a Ger
tain number Of jurors who would be
excused from serving on the case.
Among those called was a Norwegian
Who resided not far from the defend
ant. Judge Lauder marked off this
man, after he had given him q short
examination, but of curse gave no
explanation for so doing.
Taylor Crum was attending court
there at h time, and just as he was
coming up the stairs of the courthouse
he met the Norwegian coming down
growing to himself and he heard these
words:
"Ay bane a good Teller. / skeil find
out Wy Meester Lauder fired me, kase I
bane made up my mind to find that
Teller getty, ay no like eem."
c. l. johnson of Medicine Lake,
Mont, was a guest at. the Waldorf a
day or two ago and was seeing the
sights in Fargo. I'VE have a very
small town out in Montana. It is To-
Gated in Valley county, about 1876 miles
from the county seat, which is Glas-
cow, and is in the heart Of a new coun-
try that is just being opened IN right
ly. We have about 200 people, with
Catholic and Protestant churches,
schools, banks and stores and we might
say we are a regular typical western
border town. We had fairly good crops
out that way and the cattle business is
all that could be asked for. l have
every reason for believing that the
country about Medicine Lake is bound
to grow in population. We are on the
Great Northern road and have all the
advantages. I think that in the future
the country will be split an dthat some
thing will happen to give us a county
seat nearer home. I have been over the
city of Fargo considerably lately and
/ want to tell you that you have a fine
town. A great deal of the goods that
are used in the stores out our a are
secured by the merchants from your
1obbers and wholesalers, so in a meas
ure we are somewhat affiliated"

there will be some building during the
coming summer. We had plenty of
building last season, but as I said, there
will be much more next year. Dickin-

cattle and sheep business has gone
elsewhere. Still, we have a good town
and 1 think that it will continue to

GETTING GRAY? USE sage TEA TO
RESTORE NATURAL COLOR OF HAIR

ton, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" Customers like
his best because it darkens so nat
urally: so evenly, that nobody can
possibly tell it has been applied. Be
sides, it contains ingredients which
AXE off dandruff, stop scalp itching
and falling hair. No, it isn't a dye
or even like it. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur" and draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two it is restored to its
natural color.
What delights the ladies with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
they say it brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
of abundance. Agents, Fout & Port

EMS HAIR BEAUTIFULLY
AND ENDS DANDRUFF.

Hair hat loses Its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless Is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair, says a well known local
pharmacist. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful
and ever today this simple preparation
has no equal. Millions of women and
men too, who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade of hair
which is so attractive use only Sage
Tea and Sulphur.
Nowadays we are not bothered with
the task Of gathering the sage leaves
and the mussy mixing at home. Simply

Some were doubtless set on nre py

spontaneous combustion has oeeh

This burning Of the coal beds has
doubtless been going on for many

Once started the fire slowly smolders
and works its way farther and tartneF
from the outcrop, the everything clayS
settling down as the Goa is consumed
and the cracks thus opened admitting
fresh supplies Of air. Thus a coal pea
which is not too far below the SURFACE
may continue to burn for a long period,
and instances are known where beds
have been on fire for at least twenty
years. It seems improbable that the
coal can burn very far back from the
outcrop when covered by n consld-
cradle thickness of rock, for after II
has been consumed the everything clays
would settle down and occupy its place,
thus shutting off the air and smother

sumed.
The heat produced by the burning
coal has changed the everything clays
and ,sandstones, and either burned
them to a red or pink clinker, or en-
tirely fused them into slag-like masses
These clinker beds in places have a
thickness of 40 to SO feet and are a
conspicuous feature in ome parts OF
western North Dakota.
The coal production of the state for
1912, according to Mr.. Atkinson, the
state mine inspector, was 545, 900 tons,
or IA per cent more than was pro-
duced in 1911, and a greater amount
than has been mined in any n year

three-fourths of the above output
