Ignite Deposit Discovered.

Flatonia, Tex.-A ignite deposit has
Deen discovered on the H. H. Harrison
farm three miles north of Flatonia.
The discovery was made when well
was being sunk on the place, and the
Ignite was discovered at depth of
twenty-three feet. The vein was meas
ured and proved to be five feet thick.
Mr.. Harrison at once made investiga.
tons relative to the area of the de-
post and as to the thickness, and a
number of wells were sunk at different
places. This showed that there are
about twenty acres underlaid with the
coal, and the thickness runs from 70
