REMARKABLE RACE BY HORSE

In 3OO-mile endurance contest
with horses Of the purest Arabian
breeding, Castor" Morgan gelding
bred by the United States department
OF agriculture at its Middlebury, VT,
Morgan horse farm, was the only
horse with clean speed record at
the end Of the fourth day Of the
grueling contest. Castor" won third
place for speed at the end Of the con-
test, notwithstanding the fact that he
fell in the deep sand on a bad bit of
road, injured his nose, and made the
last five miles in walk. This
achievement is an indication of what
has been accomplished by the depart
ment Of agriculture in the rehabilita
ton Of the Morgan breed during the
few years since the work was under
taken.
The race was from Fort Ethan Al
len, VT, to Camp Devens, Mass, large.
~ over unimproved roads. The pur-
pose was to stimulate interest In the
breeding of cavalry mounts through
out the United States. A majority Of
the horses catered were Arabians.
One was a crossbreed that had seen
overseas service and was the first
horse to pass successfully through
quarantine at Newport News. Two

ment's farm. The veteran Of overseas
service, "Bob," owned and ridden by
Colonel George, led the field at the

Every fall he took a long walk
to the Ozarks, which he referred

TO RESTORE LENS MINES
Pits Not Expected to Produce Any
Coal Before 1927, Survey
Shows.

Paris-Although all possible efforts
to reconstruct the war-shattered mines
Of Lens have been and are being made,
there is now no hope that single ton
Of coal will be extracted before 1921.
In fact, the task of bringing back Lens
to its former prosperity is so immense
that It is not expected the town and
the mines will return to anything like
their former state before 1928 or 1929
Provided that the work can be car
ried on without interruption, 1t Will
take all 1920 to clear the underground
workings Of the debris with which
they were choked by the Germans.
Most Of the workings, and all the
deeper ones, are flooded.
A plan for drawing of the water
has been arranged. The reconstruc-
ton and repair Of the Tubing will be
carried out by German workmen, and
the cement for the purpose will be
brought from Germany. The pump.
ing out Of the mines is expected to
take at least three years. It is hoped
that by next year it will be possible
to extract coal from the first galleries.
which are only 600 feet deep. but 1t
is not expected that the water will be
pumped out of the lower workings.

Millions on Lake Bottom.

Superior. Wis.-Enough pea coal
to make those who might SAL
wage it wealthy lies buried In the
sands on the bottom Of Portage bay,
according to a dispatch from Hough-
ton, Mich. Employees Of Houghton
fuel company recently dropped q large
clam shell to the lake bottom and the
contents of the clam shell was found
to be three-fourths pea coal and the
remainder sand. Some years ago pea
coal was not considered valuable for
fuel, and it was dumped into the lake
at this point to make room for larger
and more valuable coal. No estimate
of the amount Of coal on the lake bot.
tom can be obtsined, but its value Il
said to mount loto the millions.
