COAL FIELD BURNS FOR

CAVERN ON SAN MIGUEL RIVER

San Antonio. Tex. Jan. lin
! McMullen county. Texas, some %
or 20 miles south Of san Antonio,
there is an undeyeIoped coal mine
that has been on fire for over two
years, This field of coal is located
/ on large ranch owned by a fam
lily by the name of Franklin. The
way it was discovered is as follows.
About three years ago a band Of
cowboys found in the bed of the
San Miguel, a large efeck flowing
! through the Franklin ranch lands,
several Jumps OF some black-looking
substance which they supposed to
be coal. But as only a few pieces
We're found the cowboys thought
nothing Of it at the tit Of discov-
! cry, and in few days had forgot
ten all about it,
A few months later the San Mi
guel overfloWed and eXcavated q
| steep bank where the Jumps of Goa
| had been found A COW boy, passing
! by shortly after the overflow, no
/ ticed the excavation and rode over
to it. He saw several strata of black
intermingled with the sandy bank
Of the creek, and was instantly re-
minded OF the black Jumps found at
the same spot some time before.
That the black layers were coal
/ was beyond doubt but the cowboy
decided careful Investigation ought
to be made; so he went to the
ranch house after the rest of the
men, ana they all returned TO the
strange findings,
After careful examination the
men decided the black substance
/ was coal and concluded TO test ii
1 with fire Accordingly, few stalks
4 Of dead cactus were ignited and
\ thrown into the excavation. The
4 coal instantly took the flames and
\ in few minutes was burning Wig

! utes, the cowboys decided to extin-
guish the fire. and began shoveling

I Then they carried water from the
/ creek and poured it into The pit.
I But this effort was also in vain. FOR
/ the fire had eaten its way back un-
/ der the bank OUT Of reach OF water.
After seeing that nothing further
( could be done, the oNboys rode

rise in the creek would put out the

| The fire burned on for several
/ days, leaving a huge black hole in
the creek bank. Then the creek
overfoWed and the water was sey-
eral feet deep over the mouth Of

receded q black column OF smoke
( began to issue from the hole in the

The coal field has now been
burning for more than two years.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
London, Sept. 2S.-An official com
munication just made public dealing
with the operations in France Tues
day says that in the heavy fighting
around Loos the British have taken
exceptionally strong German lines of
trenches and bomb-proof shelters sew
eral hundred yards in extent. Having
taken the German second line, the
statement says the British are now
after the third line of trenches.
In all more than 5000 prisoners
have been taken and twenty-one guns
and forty machine guns have been
captured and others destroyed. Furi-
Gus fighting still cllaracterizes the
united efforts of the French and Brit
ish to break through the German lines
on the western front. The allied
forces, the French war office an
nounces, continue to make gains of
ground and to add to their captures of
men, guns and stores. Foot by foot,
as the official communication reads,
the French are making progress to
the east of Souchez, and likewise
have continued their advance in
Champagne.
II contains the significant state
ment that among the Germans taken
prisoners were men of the guard corps
who had been brought back from the
Russian front few days ago This
would SEEM to indicate that the Aus
tro-Germans have been compelled to
weaken to some extent their eastern
battlefront in order to reinforce those
sections of the western line.
1t is reported that the German EN-
peror is hurrying to the western front
The allies trenches in the Argonne
are being violently bombarded by the
guns of the German Crown Prince.
Some of the first line trenches taken
from the French by the Germans on
this front Monday have been retaken
by means of hand grenades.
Details from unofficial sources of
the heavy bombardment which pre-
ceded the allied attack Saturday de-
scribed the German lines as smoth-
cred in dust under the hail of shells
their parapets melted away and the
barbed wire entanglements dis
peared. So thunderous was the on
slaught that persons forty miles dis
tant were awakened from their sleep
When the French ceased their she'll
ing of the trenches in Champagne and
charged the German trenches they
found the Germans stupefied by the
effects of the artillery fire-gunners
being mixed with infantrymen, and
all of them huddled around the field
cieces.
